AS to the ase OF the Niagara Falls.
biologists differ widely in opinion. At
first it was estimated that the Niagara
River came into existence. through
changes in the level of the land around
he great lakes. about $4,000 years ago.
Later this was reduced to only 10000
years. The celebrated geologist. Sir
Charles Lyell. increased the estimate
again to $4,000 years; hut more recent
ly others have lowered it to about 5000
years. The latest estimate is that of
Dr.. j.. W. Spencer. who. basing his con
illusions on the most recent %investiga-
lions. places the age of the river at
$4,000 years, and that of the cataract
at $1,000 years. At mt period. many
thousand years ago, the height of tho
falls was 40 feet.

THE BLUE AND rRE GRAY,
by F. NJ. FINcH.

BY +. NJ FINCH.
BY the flow Of the inland river,
Whence the fleets of iron have fled.
Where the blades OF grave-grass quiver,
Asleep are the ranks OF the dead
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the judgment day
Under the one. the Blue;
Under the other, the Gray.
These in the robings Of glory,
Those in the gloom Of defeat,
All with the battle-blood CORY,
IN the dusk OF eternity meet
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the Judgment day
Under the laurel, the Blue;
Under the willow, the Gray.
From the silence of sorrowful hours
The desolate mourners go,
Lovingly laden with flowers
Alike for the friend and the foe
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting .he JUDGMENT day
Under the roses. the Blue
Under the lilies. the Gray
Ss with an equal splendor
The morning sun-rays fall,
With a touch, impartially tender,
On the blossoms blooming for ALL
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the Judgment day
'Broidered with gold, the Blue
Mellowed with gold, the Gray.
So, when the summer calleth,
On forest and field and grain,
With an equal murmur falleth
The cooling drip of the rain.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day
Wet with the rain, the Blue;
Wet with the rain, the Gray.
Sadly, but not with upbraiding,
The generous deed was done;
In the storm of the years that are fading
No b-aver battle was won
Under the, sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day
Under the blossoms, the Blue;
Under the garlands, the Gray
No more shall the war-cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They Danish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves of our
dead
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day
Love and tears for the Blue
Tears and love for the Gray
