One weeping ours, one cOwed grief
Thy eountry--bowed IN prayer and tear
For North and South-above thy bier
For North and South! o soldier grim,
The broken ones to weep tor him
Who broke them! He whose terrors blazed
In smoking harvests, cities RACED;
Whose fate-lke glance sent fear and chill;
Whose word,ess lips spoke deathless will
Till all was shattered, all was lost
All hands dropped down-all wars red cost
Laid there in ashes-hope and hate
And shame and glory!
Death and fate.
Fall back! another touch is thine;
He drank not of thy poisoned wine,
Nor blindlv met thy blind. thrown lance.
Nor died for sightless time or chance,
But waited, suffered, bowed and tried,
Till all the dross was purified;
Till every well of hate was dried;
And North and South, sad sisters, cried
And then-at Gods own calling-died!

''Gen. s. s. Burdett. Commander in Chief G. A. r.:
Dear Sir-Your letter addressed to me
through the public press, the subject of a
national monument to General Grant, is before
me. | am confident that there is
sentiment in the country which will lead to
united effort by all descriptions of people, citi
zens and soldiers alike, for the erection of
national monument to General Grant. TO this
while the feeling is fresh and strong.
Posts of the G. A. r. are organ
lied in all parts of the country and can at
once enter upon the work of raising funds. 1t
has been suggested that each post appoint at its
next meeting committee who will undertake to
collect from soldiers and citizens an amount at
least equal to one dollar for each member of the
post, and more if practicable. This, with what
be raised in New York, will be ample to
worthy Of General Grant. and worthy of the.
cause of which he was the real leader In regard
to your proposition that the Grand Army of the
Republic erect a statue for the Capitol at Wash
ington, that also will be altogether
fitting and proper. Let us not, how
ever. withhold from the great national
monument at New York, the aid which the g.
A. r. posts can easily and effectively give
Two posts of the g. A. r. in Fremont have
already raised more than the sum indicated, and
placed it on deposit in bank, to be transmitted
to the proper committee in New York. With
promptness and unity of action the national
resort to the government. Sincerely

The Mystery of Seeds.

The Massachusetts Ploughndn cx-
plains to its readers why when a pine
forest is cut off it comes up with seed.
ling oaks. A pine forest, it says, is
probably better adapted to the preser-
vation of the acorn through the Win
ter than any other place, and the mois-
ture in the Spring, together with the
shade, is just wha. the preserved
acorn requires to make it sprout, and
encourage the young tree to grow; SO
when, by any chance, an acorn is
dropped in pine forest, it is very
sure to grow and make an oak tree,
1t is well known that pine forest is
an excellent place for the squirrels to
make their home, and what is more
natural than that they should bring
home acorns, though they are required
to 90 long distances for them; and
would it not be very unnatural for
them if they did not often drop some
of them from their overloaded pouches
when frightened by some passing ami.
NAL, or fired at by some thoughtless
gunner? Thus one by one the seed is
dropped year after year by squirrels,
and probably birds, until nearly every
rod of land is planted, by a natural
process, with seed that is perhaps
brought half mile or more.
After the little oaks begin to grow
the shade of the pine trees is so dense
that they make but little progress.
The tree that comes from the seed two
years before the pine is cut, is almost
as the one that came from the seed
twenty years before. For twenty-five
or more years the little oaks are thus
accommodating, and all are patiently
waiting for the pines to be cut, that
they may have the help of the light
and sunshine
But the explanation of the Plough.
man will not suffice in all cases, nor
have we ever seen any satisfactory ex-
planation of the fact that a space of
ground cleared off in forest miles
away from open fields will at once
spring up with great variety of plants
to which the place before had been an
entire stranger. The fireweed, the
blackberry, dandelions, grasses, and
the common weeds of the field and
garden will thus put in an appearance
as quickly as though the ground had
been expressly prepared for the pur-
pose. The common theory that the
seeds are transported to these distant
points by birds or winds, and that they
may lie latent in the ground for many
years before the proper conditions
arrive for termination and growth,
seems plausible enough, but we have
never seen any proof of it. -.

looked over on the other side. There,

he cautiously climbed down from the

crept along on all fours until within q

his free hand and crushed the snakes

from the depths of his pocket, he cut
off the rattles. There were nine of
them, showing, according to the old
mans figuring, that the snake was 10
years old.
"Are you afraid of getting bit ?"
asked. ,f
"Naw," he replied "I've been bit

COOLING THE CELLARS. "A great
mistake is sometimes made in ventilat-
ing cellars and milk-houses. The OBJ
ject of ventilation is to keep the Gel
lars cool and dry, but this object often
fails of being accomplished, by a COM
mon mistake, and instead, the cellar
is made both warm and damp. A
cool place should never be ventilated,
unless the air admitted is cooler than
the air within, or is at least as cool as
that, or a very little warmer. The
warmer the air, the more moisture it
holds in slisension. Necessarily. the
cooler the air, the more this moisture is
condensed and precipitated. When a
cool cellar is aired on warm da y, the
entering air being in motion appears
cool but as it fills the cellar, the
cooler air with which it becomes
mixed, chills it, the moisture is con-
densed, and dew is deposited ON the
cold walls, and may often DO seen run
ming down them in streams. Then
the cellar is damp, and soon bee ONES
mouldy. To avoid this the windows
should only be opened at night, and
late-the last thing before retiring.
There is no need to fear that the night
air is unhealthful-it is as pure as the
air of midday, and is really drier
The cool air enters the apartment dur
ing the night, and circulates through
it. The windows should be closed be-
| fore sunrise in the morning, and kent
closed and shadowed through the day
If the air of the cellar is damp, it may
be thoroughly dried by placing in it u
peck of fresh lime in an open box
A peck of lime will absorb about seven
pounds, or more than three quarts Of
water and in this way cellar or milk
room may soon be dried, even in the
hottest weather-1merican 1gricul-
