hundreds of songs, but none ever
achieved the popularity Of ''Tenting," !"
from which he still gets a small royalty.
He began writing music and verses at
81. and was for number of years asso-
ciated with the well-known "Hutchin-
son family" composing for them a
number of songs. In 1868, never a very
robust man, he was recovering from an
illness. when he heard he had been
drafted, and the night before he went
to Concord to be mustered in. AS he
stood at the window alone. looking out
at the east and filled with sadness at
the idea Of parting from his family,
the words of the song came to him. He
could see the soldiers, and the weeping,
and feel their heavy-hearted longing
for home. Soon after he composed the
music. and offered it to publisher for

mans voice is still clear, strong and
vibrating, and. seated at his little old
melodeon, he often entertains his Wis

The 93d Ohio was organized at Day

whose term of service would have ex-

out June s, 1865, and the others trans.

resigned Feb. 81, 1863, succeeded by
Col. Hiram Strong, who died Oct. T.

Life Guards.

The Life Guards are two regiments of
cavalry forming part, of the British
household troops. They are gallant SOL
diers, and every loyal British heart is
proud of them. Not only the Kings
household, but yours, ours, everybody's,
should have its life guards. The need
of them is especially great when the
greatest foes of life, diseases. find allies
in the very clements, as colds, influenza,
catarrh, the grip and pneumonia do in
the stormy month of March. The best
way that we know of to guard against
these diseases is to strengthen the sys-
tenn with Hoods Sarsaparilla-the
greatest of all life guards. 1t removes
the conditions in which these diseases
make their most successful attack, gives
vigor and tone to all the vital organs
and functions, and imparts a genial
warmth to the blood. Remember the
weaker the system the greater the ex-
posure to disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla
makes the system strong.

rope. 1t lies just about as far south of
the equator as Japan is north, and re-
sembles that country in general config-
uration, consisting of chain of islands
running north and south. Like Japan,
also. it is a country richly endowed by
nature and justly celebrated for the
wondrous beauty of its scenery.
New Zealand is made up of two largo
islands, North and South Islands, n
small island, called Stewart Island, and
a number of still smaller OUTLYING
islands, the entire group being 1000
miles long and 200 miles across at its
widest part. 1t has n coast line Of over
5000 miles and a total area of about
104,f51 square miles, some 49S square
ing groups of islands practically useless
for settlement. OF the three principal
islands South is the largest and Stewart
the smallest. Both North and Soutt,
Island are mountainous, the Southern
AlDs, as they are called, of South Island,
running close to the west coast the en-
tire length of the island. Almost every
New Zealander lives in sight of the
mountains or ocean or both. The seen
cry of the country is magnificent.
The mountains, some of them Of vol
canic origin, are to be seen in long
ranges and solitary giants crowned with
glaciers and perpetual snow, and gush-
ing from their rugged sides, as in Japan,
the misty, ethereal beauty of the water
fall meets the eye, than which there is
no more exquisite sight in nature. No
country in the world, perhaps, has the
beautiful lakes of New Zealand; GER
tainly no country surpasses it in this
respect Lake -Taupo, in the central
part of North Island, covers an area of
some $50 miles. and in South Island
there are numerous lakes, not as large
as Lake Taupo, but many of consider
able size. These add greatly to the
beauty of the landscape, which is also
much enhanced by the luxuriant coun-
try side. dotted with beautiful farms,
the forests with miles of pink, white and
red Towering trees in Spring, the gey-
sers, and that picturesque natural fea-
ture of which Norway is supposed to
