Los Angeles, Sept. 3.
De Luz

|
Beyond the mountains serried, frowning
wall,
Far from the city's noisy, bustling street
There lies valley where the weary call
Ot business ceases, and the waters swee,
Among the ferns DER moss-lined rocks doth
fall,
With pleasant, gurgling sound.
Thither I went and breathed the mountain
air,
And drank the waters from the brooklet's
rim;
Joined in the solemn praise and evening
prayer,
Sang with the friends the evening parting
hymn,
And felt my life grow strong.
o, quiet vale, that lies enwrapt in night.
And over-arched with star-decked violet
Embraced by mountain crests and rocky
height,
Thy mountain streams, where cooling
shadows lie,
My soul delights
did not know that earth could be so fair.
so truly speak the Fathers inmost heart
so grandly in its silence, voice the prayer
mat our pest speech can utter but in part,
S NoS' SPeoh ~ dlls
The voices Of the might, 1 hear them still
Ihe crickets hymn of cheer, the tree
toad's song.
The tell-tale katydid, the whippoorwill,
And 'lollie's" lark, as wore the night
along,
And solemn hoot OF owl, far on the hill:
Again hear them ALL
In the deep silence evermore doth come
A sound Of silver bells borne from afar.
And weaves its low, sweet cadence with
the hum
or all the voices that from earth TO star
Doth fill the night.
o, holy Nature! Thou dost never ch,de
Or frown upon thine erring, truant sons.
And evil thoughts with him cannot abide
Who into thy pure holy presence comes;
And cen thy griefs and woe, the cruel smar
That makes lifeless desert of the mart.
With healing balm thou TOUGHEST every part
And fill the soul with light.

it's origin in a little book written by q

ly needed when an enemy should be
met. But If a foreign squadron should
endeavor to ascend the river, It would
come within range of the guns at Fort
Mott by the time II reached Liston's
Point, a distance of twelve miles from
Fort Delaware.
While the 12-inch guns, If fred at
that distance, might not be very accu-
rate, a few shots might be fired as a
warning. At a distance Of ten miles,
the vessels would be in range of the
10-inch guns. But the first severe fight
ing would probably be at a distance Of
six or seven miles or less Even at that
distance the big guns Of the battleships
could not be used, on account OF the
limitations Of elevation In the turrets in
order TO get such range AT q distance
of seven miles a 1,000-pound projectile
from one OF the 12-inch guns at Fort
Mott would pierce seven inches OF ar
NOR on the vessel. Each Of the four
guns at Fort Mott could be fired every
FIVE minutes, throwing a weight of
metal of more than 200 pounds at
each round
As each gun was fired 1t would drop

carriage, out Of the sight Of the adyanc-

1t would be difficult for the enemy to
locate the mortar battery, for the NOR

ten les are constructed in deep pits or
are surrounded by high banks, and the
mortaTs, aimed by range finders, throw
their projectiles upward in an arc
dropping them on the decks OF the APP
preaching vessels. A shower of eight
600-pound Shells dropping around a
cruiser and on her decks, some Of them
going through, would probably lead tc
some hesitation on the part of hoi
