EXCELSIOR.

The shades of the night were falling
fast,
AS through an Alpine village pass'd
A youth, who bore, mid snow and ice,
A banner, with the strange device
Excelsior.
His brow was sad; his eye beneath
Flash'd like a falchion from its sheath;
And like a silver clarion rung
The accents of that unknown tongue
Excelsior,
In happy homes he saw the light
OF household fires CLEAN warm and
bright:
Above, the spectral glaciers Shone,
And from his lips escaped a sroan-
Excelsior.
TRY not the pass" the old man said:
Dark lowers the tempest overhead;
The roaring torrent is deep and wide -
And loud that clarion voice replied
Excelsior!
oh, stay" the maiden said, and rest
Thy weary head upon this breast"
A tear stood in his bright blue eye,
But still he answered with a sigh,
Excelsior
Beware the pine trees wither'd
branch,
Beware the awful avalanche"
This was the peasants last goodnight:
A voice replied. far up thu height
Excelsior,
At break of day, as heavenward
The piouS monks of st. Bernard
Utter'd the oft-repeated prayer.
A voice cried through the startled air,
Excelsior!
A traveller, by the faithful hound.
Half buried in the snow was found,
Still grasping in his hand of ice
That banner with the strange device.
Excelsior!
There in the twilight cold and gray.
LifeleSS, but beautiful, he lay,
And from the sky, serene and far.
A voice fell. like Il falling star

The boy stood on the burning deck
Whence all but he had fled:
The flame that lit the battles wreck
ShOne round him DER the dead.
Yet beautiful and bright he stood.
AS born to rule the storm:
A creature of heroic blood.
A proud, though childlike form.
The flames 'rolld On-he would not go
Without his fathers word;
That father, faint in death below,
His voice no longer heard.
He call'd aloud. Say. father, say.
If yet my task is done?"
He knew not that the chieftain lay
Unconscious of his son.
Speak, father" once again he cried.
If may yet be gone!'
And but the booming shots replied,
And fast the flames rolrd on.
Upon his brow he felt their breath.
And in his waving hair.
And look'd from that lone post of death
And still, yet brave despair.
And shouted but once more aloud,
MY father, must l stay"
While DER him fact. through sail and
shroud,
The wreathing fires made way.
They wrapt the snip in splendor wild.
They caught the flag on high,
And stream'd above the gallant child
Like banners in the sky.
There came a burst of thunder sound
The boy!-Oh, where was he?
Ask of the winds that far around
With fragments strew'd the sea-
With mast, and helm, and pennOn fair,
That we'll had borne their part
But the noblest thing which perish'd
there
Was that young, faithful heart

LAND OF THE SOUTH.

Land of the South!-imperial land!-
How proud thy mountains rise!-
How sweet thy scenes on every hand,
How fair thy covering skies!
But not for this,-Oh, not for these.
l love thy fields to roam,-
Thou hast a dearer spell to me-
Thou art my native home.
The rivers roll their liquid wealth,
Unequalled to the sea-
Thy hills and valleys bloom with health
And green with verdure be,
But, not for thy proud ocean streams,
Not for thine azure DOME
Sweet, sunny South!-I cling to thee
Thou art my native home.
I've stood beneath ltalias cline,
Beloved of tale and song
On Helvyn'S hills, proud and sublime,
Where natures wonders thronS;
By Tempes classic Sunlit streams,
Where Gods, of old, did roam,-
But ne'er have found so fair land
AS thou-my native home!
And thou hast prouder glories too,
Than nature ever gave
Peace sheds Ger thee, her genial dew,
And Freedoms pinions wave
Fair science filings her pearls around,
Religion lifts her DOME
These, these endear thee to my heart
My own, loved native home!
And heavens best gift to man" is
thine
God bless thy rosy girlS!-
Like sylvan flowers, they sweetly
shine
Their hearts are pure as pearls!
And grace and goodness circle them.
Where'er their footsteps roam,-
How can then, whilst loving them,
Not love my native home!
Land of the South!-imperial land.-
Then here's a health to thee
Long as thy mountain barriers stand,
May'st thou be blest and free,-
May dark dissension's banner ne'er
Wave DER thy fertile loan
But should it come, there's one will die,
To save his native home!

Poet of the Sierras." who has the
reputation of being the worst penman
in America since the days of Horace
Greeley, says Tit-Bits.
He was invited by the secretary of
q well known club to take part in some
festive celebration. His answer cover
ed four pages, but no one could deci-
pher it.
There was nothing for II but to write
again to Mr.. Miller, regretting that 1t
could not be determined whether his
communication was an acceptance or
refusal, and, adding, If you will be
present on the date mentioned will you
kindly make a cross on the bottom or
this letter? If it will be impossible for
YOU to appear, will you kindly draw a
circle?
BY return of post the letter came
back with a sign appended according
to request.
But it was absolutely impossible for
anyone to say whether it was meant
TO be a cross or circle.

SIMPLE MILK TEST.
How to Determine In a Few Minutes
Quality of the Fluid.


The following process for the detec-
ton of added water or of skimmilk in
ordinary milk is more accurate than
the simple use of a lactodensim etel
without the creamometer check. The
whole test can me made in five min
utes
The result may not show whether the
adulteration consisted in the addition
cream, but as a rule this matters little
to the consumer. What he wants to
know is whether or not he got what he
paid for.
The suspected milk is stirred with a
spoon in order to disseminate into the
whole liquid the cream which may have
come to the surface. Then one volume
of milk is poured into fifty volumes of
water-one fluid ounce to two and one
half pints.
A candle is lighted in a dark room
The experimerter takes an ordinary
drinking glass with fiat and even
bottom and holds it Immediately above
the candle at a distance of about one
foot from it so as to be able To see
the flame Of the candle through the
bottom of the glass. He then pours
slowly the diluted milk into the glass.
The flame becomes less and less
bright as the level of the liquid rises
into the glass. the flame Is soon re-
duced to a dull white spot. A little
more liquid slowly added 50 as to avoid
pouring an excess and the flame be-
comes absolutely invisible. All that
remains to be done Is to measure the
height OF the liquid in the glass, this
being most conveniently ascertained by
dipping into 1t Il strip Of pastebnard
and then measuring the wet part. 1t
should measure not over an inch if the
milk is pure.
With good quality milk diluted and
tested as stated the depth will BE- about
-eighths of an inch before the
flame Is lost to view. a mixture Of one
volume of milk and half Il volume of
water should show a depth at one and
one half inches. 4 depth Of two inches
indicates either partially SKINNED milk
or mixture of one volume uf good
milk with one of watrr.-ScientticI

not satisfied as TO her guilt, and, not
withstanding the comparatively slow
travel of news in those days, the story
of Margaret Davy's trial and punish

Boiling to death remained on the stat
