FATHER BIAN B UT POEM. Gather the sacred dust. Of tho warriors tried and true. Who boro the Flag of our Nation 1 * trust. And foil in the Cause. though Lott. aull Just, And died for mo and you. tiather them one and all! From private to tho thief, Come they from hovel or prim ely hall, They fell for ua, and for them should full The tear* of a Nation's grief. Gather the eorpsea atrowu O'er many a battle plain, From many a grave that lies so L,n*. Without a uame aud without a atone. Gather the Southern alain. We care not whence they came. Dear it* their lifeless clay! Whether uukuowu, or kuowu. to fame. Their cause aud country still the same. They died—and wore the Gray. Wherever tho brave have died, They should not rest apart; Living, they struggled side by side— Why should the hand of death divide A single heart from heart '/ Gather their scattered clay. Wherever it may rest; Just as they marched to the bloody fray. Just as they fell ou the battle day; Fury them breast t* breast. The foeman need uot dread This gathering of the brave Without aword or Hag, aud with souudloss treal, We must muster once more our deathless dead— Out of each lonely grave. The foeinan need not frown. They are all powerless now— We gather them here, and we lay them don n. And tears aud prayers are the only crown We bring to wreath each brow. And the dead thus meet the dead, While the liviug o’er them weep. Aud the men whom Leo and Stonewall led, Aud the hearts that once together bled. Together a till shall sleep. • • 1 Pel rifled Forest. The San Francisco Chroniclr stives the following aooount. of what prom ises to Is' an object of interest to t lie tourists of California : Among Cali fornia's most notable wonders may lie mentioned the petrified forest, about halfway between two celebra ted summer resorts. Mark West Springs, of Sonoma county, and Cal isto^aSprings in Napa county. The forest is situated in a wild ami moun tainous region, and at a distune ■ ap pears like a mass of fallen trees tin approaching what at a little dis tanco uppears to be a tree stump, it proves, on examination to beubroken section of the body of some prostrate pine petrified. Every circle or years growth is easily discernible, so that the exact duration of the tree's ixist enee may bo determined. Next one sees the partially excavated trunk of a large pine, lying in an inclined po sition. One sees in another spot a mass of solid stone in the form of a fallen tree some seven feet in diame ter—every fissure in the bark and km ,t plainly indicated, as in that of a tree fallen'by a woodman’s nx, while around, thickly strewn upon the ground, are numerous fragments, similar to the chips and broken pieces of wood that are scattered b> the wood-cutter in preparing a tree to lie rut into logs for tile mil!. On stri king the stony mass with a piece of petrified wood it gives back a metalie sound very different from the dull thud produced by striking a rock against a wooden log. So are to tic seen raafly similar trees, as we call those peculiar rocks, varying only in size and length, all, however, having the same incline and the same gener al position, viz., north and south. Occasionally a peculiarity is noticea ble, such as the division of a tree into sections of various lengths, ranging from three to seven feet ; yet so slight are the fissures that separate these sections that at a verv short distance they have the apipc, ran sof one solid log. Another peculiarity in one tree is its color, while the general color of the stone logs is a grayish white. This tree is to appearance a tree of stone cool, and the proprietor of the forest asserts that it burns equally! well with the best quality of t bat nr tilde. The largest of these natural wonders, as found so far, measures 1 eleven feet in diameter, and is excav ated to view for a distance of sixty eight feet, though doubtless it pene trates tho hillside many feet further. The space within the enclosure is cleared of underbrush, and contain - very many beautiful shade trees of I living oak, voung pines, manzanita (now in fuliblooml. the madronaand 1 several ot her varieties |*culiar to this locality. Here, indeed, is a field for the geologist. Not only in this par ticular place, but the whole range of. mountains offers many attractive subjects for analysis. The irumen(lepouits of suniio off the eoust of IVru have nearly hoen ex hausted by the constant draft made upon them since their discovery a number of years since. Fortunately, however, tire jrreat demand for a nat ural fertilizer like guano has resulted in li careful search for additional sour ces of supply. Many of these expidi tions have been rewarded by the dis covery of an article that serves as a substitute although it lacks some of the qualities that rendered Peruvian guano so valuable to ugrieulturists. More recently an important deposit has been found off tier coast of South America, north of Peru, which is said to rival in richness and extent the fa mous beds that have proved such a bonanza to the Peruvian (iovernment, which derived an immense revenue from tlie working of the guano beds within its jurisdiction. The quantity discovered though large is not likely tocaosean appreciate difference in the price of tiic article, so farmers will have no father cause for congrat ulation than the fact that the supply is not likely to become exhausted at an early day. • ♦ • Thr Wotprii ( St. Louis, April 21. — lte ports from the, Stale show three-fourths of tile fall wheat crop will be lost. There will lie half an average oat crop. Coro is yet to be planted. The peach crop of Missouri and Arkansas N nearly destroyed. Apples and pears are uninjured. The rye and barley erops are also short. The crops ifi Kansas are in fine condition. Wheat in Michigan is badly injured. The Nebraska prospects are flattering. In Wisconsin oats and barley are badly injured. The prospect for win ter wheat in Illinois is very discour aging, and many wheat fields are be ing ploughed for corn. A gentleman who lias traveled ex tensively through Tennessee, Ken tucky, West Virginia, Maryland, In diana, Ohio and Southern" Illinois, reports that the winter wheat crop in the ground in (ill tliut region is in ex cellent condition. The Delaware Peach Chop. Ac counts from Delaware state that the snow storm of Sunday and the freeze at night have blasted the prospers for a large crop of peaches in that State. It is said that on Sunday the orchards in the peach-growing di; tricts south of Wilmington promised yield of 4,000,000 baskets of fruit, and now they would not justify an estimate of "1,000,000 baskets, and orchards that would have brought a few days ago £5,000 could be bought now for SSOO. One gentleman in Kent county offered to sell the fruit that an orchard of four or five thous and trees would yield, for *IOO. Civilization slowly but certainly elevates the mean duration of human me.
