chrysolite. These all suddenly dis.
appeared down her receptive esopha-
gus. She simply said: 'Pugh! not
saccharine!'
"She then transferred billion OF
bilious mosquitoes, an unstable
bouquet of fuchsias, lilies, dahlias,
hyacinths and phlox, a liquefed bdel-

receptacle.

BLUE AND GRAY.

SPOKEN.
You ask me why upon my breast,
Unchanged from day to day,
Linked side by side on this broad band,
wear the blue and gray.
SONG. ..
I had two brothers long ago,
Two brothers young and gay:
One wore suit of northern blue,
The other wore southern gray.
One heard the roll-call of the drum,
And linked his fate with Lee;
And one marched with the stars and stripes
With Sherman to the sea-
And that is why upon my breast,
Unchanged from day to day,
Linked side by side on this broad band,
Iwear knot of blue and gray.
Each fought for what he deemed was right.
And fell with sword in hand;
One sleeps among Virginia's hills,
And one by Georgias strand.
The same sun shines on both their graves
That shines DER hill and plain:
And in my dreams of vanished days
Both brothers live again.

the only difference in these prairies
being that some are larger than
