DRUMMER Boy OF MISSION RIDGE IN 1863.
lie pressed to the front. our lad so leal. and the
works were almost won;
a moment more, and our flags had swung DER the
muzzie of murderous gun:
Out r. fasing IRE swept the van, and he fell mid
the wounded and slain
WIN his wee face turned uu To Him who
ieeleth His chiidren's pain.
Again and again lines fell back and again with
shivering shocks
ihey Hung themselves the rebel works rs the
- heets on The jagged rocks:

the wrecks of the surginR storm,
"here none may rule aud none may wreck OF
aught that has human form.
30 under the Ridge we were flying for the order 10
charge again
And we counted our comrades missing and we
counted our comrades slain;
ana one ~sid, johnny. Drummer Boy, is
grcvcusiy shot, and lies
the field he dies"
Then all the blood that was in me surged up 10
my aching brow
And my heart ieaped up Xix ball In nv throat II
can feel u even now
And swore would bring that boy from the field
- II 6sa would spare my breath,
Al all The guns on Mission Ridge should thunder
the threat of death.
L crept and crept up the CHASTITY Ridge. by the
, wounded and the dead.
WIN the means OF my comrades right and left,
- behind me aud YET ahead.

his blouse Of dusty blue.
Win has lace TO the foe. meath the enemy's guns
where the blast Of the battle blew,
Aho ms gaze as no met my own, God wot, would
have melted n heart of stone
As he tried like wounded bird to rise, and placed
his hand Ia NV own:
So wan and faint with his ruby red blood drank
49,, deep by the pitiless sward,
While his breast with its fleeing futterinp breath
ihrobbed painfully slow and hard.
Ana he said In a voice half-smothered, though its
Whispering thrills yet,
mink In moment moro that / would have
stood on that parapet
FOR my feet have trodden life's rugged ways and
have been used 10 climb
"here some of the boys have slipped, know, but
never missed n time.
But now nevermore will climb; and, comrade
when you see
The men 70 up those breastworks there inst
stoep and waken me:
For though caUnot make the charge and ioiu
the cheers that rise
may forget my pain TO the old flag kiss the
skies"
Well. IL was hard to treat him so. his poor limb
shattered sore,
But raised him 10 my shoulder aud TO the Sur
eeon bore,
And The boys who saw us coming each gave a
shout OF joy,
Though some ia curses clothed their prayers for
him, our Drummer Boy.

Sulphur In the Greenhouse.

Sulphur Is of the greatest service in
greenhouse work. 1t is an invaluable agent
for the destruction of mildews, and Ia also
of great assistance in overcoming red spider.
As commonly used, IL is mixed with an
equal bulk Of air-slaked lime or some SINH
lar material, and then water, oil, milk or
some other liquid is added until thick,
creamy paste is obtained. This is then
painted upon the heating surfaces of the
house, and the sulphur fumes are given Off
The same result can be obtained much more
rapidly and energeticaily by heating the
flowers Of sulphur until il melts the fumes
are then given off in great abundance. Our
practice has been to put the sulphur in q
shallow pan and then set it over an oil
stove, having the flame turned just high

INTRODUCTION.


Joseph Agar Beet wrote: Our only safe
guard amidst the Babel of opinions around rs
is fuller and more accurate knowledge OF
Holy Scripture. This alone will enable US to
distinguish. in teaching. the true from the
false And it is not too much to hope that
such fuller knowledge will not only preserve
rs from disquietude, but will reveal to US q
nearer and clearer view OF the Son OF God, and
thus work in our hearts and lives richer
likeness to him. This is the aim of all Biblical
scholarship"
The Worcester (hiass.) Telegram referring to
Jesse Malek Yonan. of Chicago, who came from
Oroomah, Persia. said: " Dir. Yonsn's father
is still alive, and is one Of the wonders OF his
race, having read the Bible from beginning to
end no fewer than Is times. His son, the sub
iect of this interview. bids well to eclipse his
father in this respect. having gone through
the volume from Genesis to Revelations 10
times"
