Unto the distance, and the sky,
The fainting blue, begins to die
And vanish, like a broken prayer,
Across the haZy mists OF air.
And where the river windeth slow.
The rocks of ice and drifts OF snow.
Impede the motion OF boat,
AS IL some mailman at her throat
In vain did try to drag her down.
But perseverance was the crown
That made the noble ship the queen
OF all the seas that she had seen,
And all the islands, sun caressed.
That lay upon the waters breast.
A soldier standing on her PROV
With eyes down bent and knitted brow,
Is wrapt in meditation deep.
His thoughts are those that will not
reap
A goodly harvest in his heart.
For 10! he sees the waters start
And tremble, and, as If long pent
An earthquake through the waters cent
A shock to ravage there and rave,
Clear mirrOred on loosened wave,
He sees maiden, wOndrous fair,
Who knots piece of golden hair
And ties 1t round foweret blue,
Fresh plucked from out it's shade of

Beside on the sounding sands,
This flower, an emblem of the peace
That here shall reign when feuds re-
lease
Their claims upon the lives of men,
This lock, a summers token when,
Beneath the beating Of the stars.
Beyond the sobbing of the bars,
Our love and pledges first were told.
But when the leaves to red and gold
Were changed by autumns brilliant
brush,
Ger woods and dales there came a
hush.
There rang a bugle on the shore
That echoed back the name Of war;!
The soldier started, glanced around,
The ship its destined place had found.
ITO land! To land" the soldiers cry,
ITO fight the fight. or fighting die!"
The Hessian revels had not stilled
The night. when camp and tents were
filled
With sounds of distant marching feet,
Hurrying down the torch lit street.
They heard the drunken leaders call,
ITO arms, to arms, we warriors all!'
In mockery the trumpets blew.
AS down the ranks he FASTENED through
Each group of soldiers standing there,
Stunned by the torches blaze and glare
The battle ragged. the cannon roared,
Bright flashed the saber aud the sword.
| The smoke In columns upward
wreathed,
Bearing the prayers the soldiers
breathed.
| A hundred hands upheld in fight,
That persisted ere the dawning light
| Had streaked the heavens vault with
gray.
And darksome night had changed to

Among the slain youth did lie.
One hand his flag and banner, by
The other clasped flower fair.
Tied to a tress Of golden hair.

Historic Wheat,

Experts on the subject Of bread grains
say, that wheat can be traced back into
the dim past across the line marked by
the advent of historic man into the dim
shades Of the stone age. 1t has been
known in Egypt and in the valleys Of
the Euphrates and the Tigris since the
time when history ''runneth not to the
contrary" The prehistoric races which
formerly lived in the famous flake
dwellings, which were built on plat
forms supported by piles driven in the
lakes Of Switzerland, had their mealing
stones, wheat mortars, sickles and other
grain harvesting and flourmaking appa-
ratus at least 1000 years ago. Wheat
found in ancient Egyptian tombs and in
the ruins Of the lake dwellings referred
to is identical with that which has so
bountifully blessed the husbandman in
the Mississippi valley in this season Of
1896.-St. Louis Republic.
