OUR HEROIC DEAD.
Sung by Ouartette at Monument.

Green are the fields where heroes now lie
sleeping,
Fragrant the air with summers rarest gifts;
SoOthed the fierce pain of hearts once torn and
bleeding,
Time, blest consoler, soon the burden lifts.
Peace fair and gentle purchased with our
dearest.
Their full devotion should engage thy sight,
Long as the truth TO all pure souls Is nearest,
Til all of darkness shall be bathed in nsht.
Done Is their duty,-fiame that ever lightens,-
That fired their brave hearts unto noblest end /;
To us their hope, which sacrifice now brightens,
Bear ii aloft and forever defend

The servant girl has discovered a new
tire-guickener.
1t was in Boston, and not long ago,
that the mistress of house, not much
given to going into the kitchen,
entered one day, unexpectedly, Just ia
time to catch her kitchen maid in the
act of emptying a spoonful of granu-
lated white sugar into the fire. Sugar
is exceedingly infammable, and its
application made the fire flash up in
excellent shape. The head of the house
had noticed that he was called upon to
pay for a great many barrels of sugar,
and his wife had wondered at the
family's enormous consumption of that
article; but she did not wonder any
more, especially as the girl, under
pressure. confessed that she had regu-
1arly been using the sugar to quicken
the fire. ''Sure mums" she. said, 1--WE
must have the fire, an the coal burns
that slow that me heart is broke

Rang for the Apple hoy.

A Brunswick and Western man said;
1 recollect an amusing incident. A
very .verdant looking kind of fellow
got on train at Albany. He was
solicited by the train boy several times
to buy apples, candy, &C., but was eYi-
IDENTIFY too close listed.
He suddenly, however, got it into
his head that he would like to have
some apples, and asked q drummer
when the boy would be around again.
The drummer told him that ifhe would
pull the bell cord it would fetch the
boy. Without moments hesitation
hayseed gave it two violent jerks. The
train was running full speed, but the
engineer, hearing the danger signal,
downed brakes and stopped.
/ was at loss, and SO were the
passengers, to account for the sudden
stoppage of the train, and rushed for
ward to see the engineer. On my way
passed through the car in which
hayseed was and he stopped me with,
mister, how long will it be before the
apple boy is around There was q
litter in the ear, and smelt mouse.
"Who pulled that cordP' asked. II
did, rejoined hayseed; II wanted to
call the apple boy"
The joke was out, and / signalled the
engineer to go on.-BruHsarick Breeze.
