Grim fellows they we're And h0w they
played with death How they lay in the
corn rows and laughed when tho shell and
grape shot screamed and whlstlcl overhead.
How they slept under the big guns anl
dreamed OF home, when across the rilgs
the angel Of darkness was spreading his
awful W IS. How they caroused aud told
tales and thought no more Of the morrow
than the lght-wiuds that blew across the
prairles.
over yonder a woodpccker made music
with lis drumming on a hollow tree.
Down IN the cornfelis was death In more
shapes than Lucifer summoned from his
Imagination after the fall. The moon
looked at them when the battle was over.
Mangled, crushed, bleeding to death
there they lay, a smile OF triumph on their
calm, placid features, and the heavy dews
settling in great drops into seals OF NOR
tallty.
sepulture2 Yes, in the deep trenches
that ran through field and fallow, they
were buried. Perhaps there was ghost OF
prayer, but afterward nobody remembered
II. Maybe some friend thought to write to
widows aud orphaned children, giving the
last messages Of love AMI pity; but ottencr
1t was forgotten. There was harvest of
dead men all over the fertile plains, by the
winding rivers and on the mountains Death
was in the air and sea and sky.
But yet those grim soldiers laughed aud
cried, told tales and dreamed happy
dreams, as If war were picnic and death
but boon companion. They fell into
namcless graves like unnumbcred cattle,
but the rank aud file went on with fresh
songs aud fresh laughter. Was ever such II
war since the world began?
a few roses more or less Here and there
garland Of flowers. Over on that grave II
bunch Of miguonettc, and on this one a
wreath OF immortcllcs. How the big tears
would have rolled down their sun-browncd
cheeks IL they could have knownl How
they would have shouted till the giant hills
echoed back their cries If they could have
forseen they were TO he thus loved and
mourned
There is no sectionalsm where sleep the
soldiers. There can be no malice where
those who perisbed Mt the c0nnon's mouth
rest amid the drcamless slumber of sol
dieI's grave. They hal their faults,
maybe, but God knows how bravely they
died and what they diel for Roses may
not reach them.now, but the rerfumc of the
flowers may drift helveuward till the
smoke OF fratricidtl strife shall be pushed
aside by the sweetest incense of earth an1
the blue sky of universal peace shall hang
in beauty DER the world. The dead sol
diers are but pensioners on our holiest re-
membrance. No matter where they fought,
nor where they fell, nor what flag they car
rIed, nor what uniform they wore, Remem-
ber them in the simple offerings Of flowers,
and prayers, and happy tears.
And by and by, when the great roll-call
shall echo through the ranks of Heaven,
how the brave boys will leap to life again
with their old, familiar cry Of "Here r'
"Herem And maybe somebody will then
be glad there had been enough humanity in
the world to remember they were not dead,
but only sleeping the last, peaceful sleep OF
men who had died for men.

THE BIvOUAC OF THE DEAD.

The muiiled drums sad role has beat
The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
on Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread
And glory guards, with solemn round,
The biyouac of the dead.
No rumor of the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind;
No troubled thought at midnight hour
OF loved ones left behind
No vision of the morrows strife
The warriors dream alarms;
No braying horn or screaming fife
At dawn shall call to arms.
Their shlvered swords are red with rust,
Their plumed heads are bowed,
Their naughty banner, tralled in dust,
Is now their martial shrOud;
And plenteous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow,
And the proud forms, by battle gashed,
Are free from anguish now.
The neighing steeds, the flashing blade,
The bugle's stirring blast,
The charge, the dreadful cannonade,
The din and shout are past;
Nor wars wild note, nor glory's peal
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that never more may feel
The rapture OF the fight
Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead,
Dear as the blood ye gdvel
No impious footsteps here shall tread
The heritage of your grave;
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While Fame her record keeps,
Or Honor points the hallowed spot
Where yalor proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstrel's volceless stone
In deathess song shall tell,
When manya vanished year hath flown,
The story how ye fell;
Nor wreck, nor change, nor winters blight
Nor times remorseless doom
Can dim one ray of holy light
That gilds your glorious tomb.

A Fountain Of Pure OH In the Gros
Nsntre valley.

On the mountain peaks are found
fossilizations of every variety. Shell
fish of past age, skeletons of curious
birds and bones of gigantic and long
extinct animals strew the valleys aud
appear upon the mountains. On the
broad surface of table-like rocks are
curious carvings of strange animals and
birds, with hicroglyphics as strange as
the subjects they apparently explain.
Entering through n crcvice between
two gigantic rocks, the explorers found
themselves in circular basin, 300 feet
in circumference, and lofty In height.
The floor of this basin was as rcgu.
larly paved with broad tagging as If
done by the hand of man. From three
parts Of the basin arose q thin, blush
vapor, spreading through the under
ground chamber close, oil like smell.
On investigation this vapor was found
to arise from deep seams In the rocky
floor One of the party produced a
long cord, and, attaching to ii n small
stone, attempted TO gauge the depth of
these seams. No bottom could be
reached, however. On the stone being
withdrawn 1t was, in every instance,
found TO be covered with yellow,
sticky matter of glue.likc consistency,
strongly impregnated with petroleum
odor
One of the party stumbled on sec.
ond opening, and this led into third
and smaller chamber, in the center OF
which was n working, bubbling oil
fountain. This was the pure article
itself, as clear as If fresh from the
best oil refinery In fact it was the
product of u natural refinery, and the
most potent forces were engaged in its
manufacture. From deep down In the
bowels of the earth came a sound rs of
steady churning, and the oil mass
heaved and shook at intervals rs the
continued product of the natural rein.

son, much more artistic and becoming than
is usual with this sort of garment. The
back pieces are tight fitting, and short
shoulders or epauettes give n particularly
natty effect. Fancy beaded brocades aud
MEETINGS of jets are the most becoming OF
materials of which to make these wraps.
Wraps made of solid jet or beads In yari-
Gus colors are very stylish Sometimes epnu-
lettes on capes of this kind are of loops Of
velvet ribbon or heavy ribbon with picot
edge.
Biscuit color is favorite for wraps this
season, and when such garment is edged
with braid or gold cord aud finished with
gilt buttons the effect is very stylish and
elegant.
A spring mantelet is made of the new
beaded lace canvas, which is both silky and
strong In texture. 1t is black and lined
with crimson silk; but the material being
somewhat thick, the bright color only
shows through in certain lights. The trim
ming is a silk ruching. This lace canvas is
the newest fabric that has yet appeared for
mantles.
The Dolgorouki cape is the most charm
ing thing in wraps yet seen. 1t is half
tight fitting with dropping sleeves.
