steep rocky slopes between. The cliffs
are the edges Of hard beds Of limestone
or sandstone; the intervening slopes
mark the outcrops of softer beds. This
series Of beds is moro than 5000 feet
thick, and the beds lie nearly horizon.

OUTCLSSED

The Devil sat on lake of fire.
On pile of sulphur kegs,
His head was bowed upon his breast.
His tail between his legs.
A look of shame was on his face.
The sparks dripped from his eyes:
He had sent his resignation
To the throne up in the skies.
I'm down and out. the Devil said;
He said it with a sob,
There are others that outclass me
And 1 want to, quit my job.
He'll isn't in it with the land
That lies along the Rhine;
I'm has-been and piker
And therefore resign.
One ammunition maker,
With his bloody shot and shell
Knows more about damnation,
Than all the imps in hell.
Give my job to. Kaiser william,
Or to the Russian Gar,
Or to King George or Morgan.
Or some such man of war

The spot love so well,
But / feel I'm not up-to-date
In the art OF running He'll.

At a birthstone Bundle Bee,
And muttered that he guessed he go
