THE LAND OF DIME.
Where centuries, with a ceaseless tide,
Sweep DER the notions that have died
The nations that their course have run
There lies n mighty fallen one,
In all her veStal robes, pure white,
She rerished in sing night.
With prayers and tears and many sigh,
Her lovers saw her fall and die
Upon the breast of Dixie
They said: Alas we might have seen
Our ady fair u beauteous queen!
And nh fAn tIrtf IN INnf nlh
Looked down u gon her glorious death.
Alas! alas! then let her rest
With laurel on her brow and breast,
Ensnrined let all her glories lie
Beneath The ever-radiant sky
That spans the land of Dixie.
The blood flowed as the red, red vino
Flows from the clusters of the vine,
In waves above her peerless feet
Pressed out of lives that held 1t sweet
To perish: that twas half divine
10 sleep IN death meath freedoms shrine.
They slumber on her tender breast
The truest, iondest, brayest, best
The gallant sons OF Dixie.
Our dead how dear! with eyes tear-wet,
The living think upon them yet!
How sacred the memo ial fires
That love in human hear inspires;
They burn with ever, easeless ray
As long as darkness follows day,
And immortelles their bloom shall shed
Ger marble couch or grass-grown bed,
That holds the dead of Dixie.
Oh, wind that mingles with the roar
Ofwaters by the wave-kissed shore,
Or, like a blessing, breathes around
Our homes with sweet, caressing sound,
Thou bringest now upon thy breath
No note of war no dirge of death,
But seemest to whisper DER and DER:
Come quickly, oh, glad days OF yore,
To all the land of Dixie"
The bitter dregs are drained at last,
The darkness dieth down the past,
Toy trials all with triumph crowned,
Thy noble sons, by toll embrowned,
Have made OF every battle-plain
A golden field of waving grain;
Thy portals now are decked with flowers
And peace and plenty in thy bowers,
Oh peerless land of Dixie!

less, in all questions where both England
and France are concerned, we must be pre-
pared to see the American press,

Have the French forces in Asia expert

The American press seems jubilant The
losses are exaggerated, and from the editor
ln-chlef to the funny man, every member of
the staff must try his wit and his ironical
fantasies against the despised French. But
when the English armies are repeatedly and
shamefully defeated by the Mahdi, there is
gloom over American papers, and one
would think it national calamity.
This tendency of the American spirit is
conundrum to me and to all the French peo-
pie, who may get every day evidences of
its reality. Could you explain it, Mr.. Edi-

For my part, can find but one solution
to that problem, and that is that nations
