Two Famous Epigrams.

The late Nathaniel Dcering of Portland,
Me-, began his career as a lawyer, many
years ago, in the little town of Canaan, in
the backwoods of his native state. Among
his acquaintance and ncighbors was Mrs
L. NJ. Child, afterward II distinguished au-
thoress.
Being challenged one day by Mr.. Deer
ing to produce stanza In which his name
should be one of the rhyming words, Mrs
Child took pencil ard paper, and at once
replied as follows:
Whoever weds the young lawyer at G.
will surely have prospects most cheering,
For what must his person and intellect tie
When even his name is N. Deering?
AS good perhaps as the foregoing, but no
better, was the quatrain upon General
George p Morris, the author of Wood
man. Spare That Tree" written, on the
instant, under similar challenge by John
BOugham, the actor:
All hail, thou gifted son,
The warrior poet, Morrisl
IT'S seldom that we meet in
A Caesar and a Horace.

SOLDIERS BUDGET.
Dead on the Field Of Honor.

dead on the field Of honori"
The story has oft been told
OF a noble foreign soldier
SO gallant, true and bold,
That after death, from the roll. call
Still was read his honored name,
And Dead on the field of honor"
Was the pr I'D response that came
Came from the lips of comrades
Who thus through the changeful years
Kept his name before the nation,
Embalmed with its grateful tears,
And on this day of rememl rance,
A ever and aye it should be,
Come thoughts of the old-time story,
This legend from over the sea.
Dead on the field of honorl'
How the stirring words, yet sad,
Thrill over our burning heartstrings
While we think of the bright faced lad
Or of one In the prime of manhood,
With emotions strong and deep.
For they died on the field of honor
And in graves of honor sleep.
IT'S long since the notes of conflict
Resounded in our ears,
Long since the struggle ended
In triumph yet in tears.
Triumph that right had conquered,
Tears for the hearts that bled
Who only saw in their sorrow
The piteous mounds of the dead
But time soothes keenest anguish,
And twined with our wreath of yew
The palm-eaf and the laurel
Shine clearly forth to view.
We know they died for country
And are proud. while yet we weep,
That they died on the field of honor
And In graves of honor sleep.

A.windin' where the woods are thick;
An see myself a-wadin' there
boy, with feet all tanned and bare.
My eager hand fishpole grips,
An close upon the dancin' rips
MY breath comes short and quickl
I seem to feel the sudden tug,
An see the trout dart high In air;
A silv'ry fash of liquid light
The prelude to glorious fight
A darti rush sullen stopi
The last despairing, anguished flop
He's minel Away, dull care!
The prize secure, see myself
Prone on the bank with painting JOY
An'-blame my eyes eff amt here
Hoorayin' with the old-time cheer,
While wheezy breath and husky shout
Tell plain the old mans pet'rin' outl
Heighol But was ouc't a boy
