rdr. Darwin as a Bugologist.

Miss Daisy Letter has brought back
from London a story about Charles
Darwin.
Two English boys, said Miss Lei
ter. "being friends of Darwin, thought
one day that they would play joke
on him. They caught butterfly, a
grasshopper, beetle and centiPede,
and out of these creatures they made
strange, composite insect. They
took the centiPede's body, the butter
Ay's wings, the grasshoPper's legs and
the beetles head. and they glued them
together carefully. Then, with their
new bug in a box they knocked at
Darwiu's door.
"'We caught this bug in field,
they said. Can you tell us what
kind Of bug it is, sir2'
Darwin looked at the bug and then
he looked at the boys. He smiled
slightly.
"'Did it hum when you caught it I?
he asked.
ayes, they answered, nudging
one another.
"'Then, said Darwin, 1t is hum

The Blue and the Gray.

By the flow of the inland river.
Whence the fleets Of iron have fed.
Where the blades Of the grave-grass culver
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 Cray.
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 sorTowtul hours
The desolate mourners 60,
Lovingly laden with flowers,
Alike for the friend and the foe
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day
Under the roses the Blue.
Under the lilies the Gray.
So. with an equal splendor,
The morning sun rays fall
With touch impartially tender
On The blossoms blooming for all
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day
Broidered with gold the Blue,
MeIlowed with gold the Gray.
So, when the summer calleth
On forest and field Of grain,
With an equal murmur ialleth
The cooling drip otthe 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 braver battle was won
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the iudgmen, day,
Under the blossoms the Blue.
Under the gaIlands the Cray
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 judgmen, day
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Gray
