THE CHRISTIANS WAcHT AM
 RHEIN.

What sounds are these like thunder peal, With tramp of feet and clash of steel? The Rhine! The Rhine The Christians Rhine On Freemen! on to guard the line!
 O Day DIvme, have thou no fear;
 Thy faithful Watch IS always here. The shopman closes till and store; The workman's tool is heard no more; Sweet bells with music fill the air, They call the land to praise and prayer
 o Day Divine, have thou no fear;
 Thy faithful Watch IS always here What malcOntents are these we meet, Low discord growing through the street? Freedom they ask, with beer and wine, To desecrate the Day Divine.
 o Day Divine, have thou no fear;
 Thy faithful Watch IS always here. Look up Look upi A spirit band, OIr fathers sentinel the land. This day of rest is their beguest; It's shield shall be the Christians breast.
 . Day Divine. have thou no fear;
 Thy faithful Watch is always here. So long as Christian pulses beat; So long as Christian freemen meet; We lift our gauntets to the sky, And swear to guard the legacy.
 o Day Divine, have thou no fear;
 Thy faithful Watch is always here.

A Steel Birds lest.
Exchange.

A very remarkable thing in the way of birds s'-nests is preserved in the Mu- scum of Natural history at Soleure, in Switzerland, whither it was brought by one M. Rudolph Rueder. It is no less than nest made entirely of steel.
 There are number of clock ma king shops at Soleure, and in the windows of these shops there are often found lying disused or broken springs of clocks.
 Early last summer M. Rueder, one of these clock makers, noticed bird's- nest of peculiar appearance in tree in his yard. He examined it and found that pair of wag- -tails-birds of a species not unlike the sparrow had built nest entirely of clock springs, which they had picked up here and there about the village. The nest was more than four inches across, and perfectly comfortable one for the birds.
 After the feathered architects had reared their brood, M. Rueder pre- sented the nest to the museum of the town, where it is preserved as strik- ing illustration of the skill ot birds in turning their surroundings to advan- tage in building their nests.
 Probably next year the birds will build another steel nest, and unless the clock makers of Soleure guard their springs more closely, steel nests will not be as much a curiosity as is this first one.

AT the first blush the idea appeared ex-
~cellent; but unfortunately the Postal
Union convention itself was the first to
inteEpose an unsurmountable obstacle.
AS already stated, one of the vital princi-
pies of the original convention is that
each country shall retain the postage
which it collects. If a universal stamp
were used, then, what guarantee would
there be that the country who sold the
stamps and got the profit had done the
work for which it had been paid2 None
whatever; and, moreover, it was found
on closer examination that the monetary
systems in force in some of the countries
of the Postal Union would not lend
themselves to a universal stamp. Thus,
for example, the twenty-five centime
stamp which prepays a half ounce Tor 10
grammes) letter from France or Italy to
England, is represented in Germany by a
90 pfennig stamp; but 20 pfennigs are, in
reality, worth q quarter of a centime less
than % centimes; and so with the 10
kreuzer Austrian stamp, which, although
it does duty in Austria-H Hungary for %
confines in preparing a letter, is actually
about a confines less in value. The
idea, therefore, of the universal postage
stamp, to which the originator chung
fondly to the last, had, after all, to be
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Review.

Since the glacier studies of Tyndal and
Agassiz, nothing more interesting in that
line has been accomplished than the
study of the Muir glacier, by Professor
Wright. This is in Alaska, between 90
dogs. and 60 dogs. The peaks rise 10, 900
to 90, 900 feet high, and there are many
glaciers. But the Muir is the most i'm
mense, being two and one-half miles
wide, with a front wall of nearly 400
feet. Icebergs eterually snap and crash
off this face wall, Nke a roar of artillery.
There is nothing grander in the United
States, If, indeed, in the world. The ice
move at the rate of about 20 feet per day.
A few miles away the ice deposited dur
ing the glacier age is washing away ex-
posing to the air cedars buried tens of
thousands years ago. Here is a spot for
the tourist who desires to see the world
n the making OF it.-Globe-D Democrat.
