And tells in rhythmic lines the sacred

Through sulphurOus smoke, deep

And their imperial shades still hover

A guard celestial from Omnipotence.

round 1t rattle,
And underneath its waving folds have

In all the dread array of sanguine battle
The quivering lance and glittel1ng

That IL shall float until the eternal

Pales in it's glories all the lights OF

me rop mEMoRInI DAY.

Done are the tolls and the wearisome
marches,
Done is the summons of bugle and
drum.
Softly and sweetly the sky over arches.
Shelt'ring a land where Rebellion Is
dumb.
Dark were the days Of the country's
arrangement,
Sad were the hours when the conflict
was on,
But through the gloom Of fraternal es-
arrangement
God sent his light. and we welcomed
Ger the eXpanSe of our mighty domih-
ions:
Sweeping away to the uttermost
parts,
Peace, the wide-hyins, on untiring pin
ions,
Bringeth her message of joy to our
hearts.
All. but this joy which our minds cam
not measure,
What did it cost for our fathers to
gain!
Bought at the price of the hearts dear
est treasure,
Born out of travail and sorrow and
pain;
Born in the battle where fleet Death
was flying,
Staying with sabre stroke bloody and
fell;
Born where the heroes and martyrs
were dying,
Torn by the fury of bullet and shell.
All, but the day is past: silent the rat
tie,
And the confusion that followed the
fight.
Peace to the heroes who died in the
battle,
Martyrs to truth and the crowning of
Right!
Out of tine blood Of a conflict fraternal
Out of the dust and the dimnesS of
death,
Burst into blossoms of glory eternal
Flowers that Sweeten the world with
their breath.
Flowers of charity, peace, and devotion
Bloom in the hearts that are empty
of strife:
Love that is boundless and broad as
the ocean
Leaps into beauty and fulness of life
SO, with the singing Of paeans and
chorals,
And with the flag flashing high in the
sun,
Place on the graves of our heroes the
laurels
Which their unfalterng valol has
won,
Paul Laurence Dunbar.

THE FOREST PEOPLE.
A Curious Scotch Settlement In the
Heart Of France.

A Curious Scotch Settlement In the
Heart Of France.
Attention has been called in France
to little British settlement which
still exists in the very heart of the
country not far from Bourses, in the
province of Berry It's inhabitants have
received the name Foretains, or forest
people. Their history is curious one.
In recognition of the services which
John Stuart, constable of Scotland,
rendered to the French nation one of
its kings, Charles VII, 500 years ago
granted him park in the forest of
Hautebrune and subsequently gave the
Scotchmen whom he settled there the
right also Of feeding pigs and cutting
wood in the adjacent royal forest of
Allosny. They also We're exempted
from the payment of general taxes. salt
tax or the dues levied by the neighbor-
ing town of Bourges, and finally a roy
al magistrate was appointed for their
special benefit.
This magistrate used to sit booted
and Spurred, with his sword by mis-
side, and for many years his decisions
were given without appeal not only in
all civil but in criminal cases as well
which affected the proprietors or hum
bier inhabitants of the forest
The ScOtchmen cleared the forest Of
its old trees and planted instead or
chards and then invited others of their
countrymen to come and join them.
Since then they have preserved some
thing of their Scotch origin as well as
their lofty, Stalwart, active and vigor-
Gus form. They cultivate both boards
and whiskerS and both in accent and
peculiaritirS of speech show their de-
scent.
In dress they only differ from the
inhabitants about them by wearing
long leggings with spurs attached.

The Florida EVERGLADES.

The Everglades occupy more than
half that portion Of the state of
Florida south of Lake OkeechObee-
the largest fresh water lake wholly
within the United States except Lake
Michigan. In this vast region there
stone an immense accumulation of
sand, alluvial deposits and decayed
vegetable matter, forming mass of
sand and mud from two to ten feet
or more in depth, that uVerspreads
all but Il few points of the first
strata. Upon the mud rests a sheet
of water, its depth varying with the
conformation of the bottom, which
is very rough and irregular; seldom
at dry seasons is it greater than three
feet. The whole is filled with a rank
growth of coarse grass, eight or ten
feet high. with Il serratcd edge like
Il saw, from which it obtains its
name of saw grass" In many pOr-
tions of the Everglades the saw grass
is so thick as to be impcnetrable
but ii is intcrsccted by numerous
and tortuous channels that form a
kind of labyrinth where outlets pre-
sent themselves I'm every direction.

which makes rapid alternating rise
and fall during the wet season. The
difference Of level between highest
and lowest stages of water Is from two
to three feet: the general surface of
the Everglades is thus subject to
great changes. Small keys are here
