Bee Hunting In Kansas.

L. wnl!d seem by the ei;hrts to arrest
Woad, Sprer, and other Buckeyes, that the

the Buckeyes are fond Of field sports, for by
present appearances they may be obliged to
spend some time bee hunting. 1t will be
seen by the letter from our correspondent,

Gboife Misttllanp,
The Game at Cards.

"The darkies are mine," SAYS the game
ster, striking his fist upon the table; ''show
'em up, and let us see what they look like"
The young planter who had lost, sent one
of the boat servants below for John apd
Helen.
The passengers awaited the appearance
IF the servants in silence, for long time,
,ut they came not. The servants had in
formed them OF their change of owners, and
hey dreaded to see their new owner. They
were attached to the young planter and
wife, and did not like to leave them; besides.
hey had children of their own at home, and
-ow what was to become of them!
The winner began to wax impatient at the
1elay, and exclaimed:
"Come, Danton, hurry up the niggers.-
They must move quicker han this, when |
send for them. or they will never know what
hurt 'em."
The young planters aristocratic face
flushed crimson at this rude and brutal ex-
clamation, but he made no reply.
He was about to send another servant for
John and Helen, when his purpose was
stayed by the appearance of Mrs. Danton
Her husband had been gaming, and she had
been weeping ever since the boat had left
Cincinnati: and we were now far down the
Mississippi. No wonder then, that she was
pale and wan, and that her eyes looked as
though they had been nearly wept away; but
she was exquisitely lovely, nevertheless.
that evening, can see the sorrow stricken
young wife now, as she glided unto the table
and looked her husband in the face. He
could not bear up under her gaze. He had
lost all their money, and in a fit of despera-
ton had also staked and lost the two slaves.
Laying her little hand on his arm, she said
ais it true, Charles, that you have losl
John and Helenr'
Her husband could not reply, he could moi
even look up.
The passengers were now fast gathering
round and the scene was growing more pain
full. My father, (who was coming to fetci
me from school, and was taking the longes
possible way home,) was holding me by the
hand, and | knew by the tightening of his
grasp that he was becoming much excited
As Danton did not feel much inclined to
answer his wife's question, the gamestel
thus roughly said:
"Yes, ma am; John and Helen are mine
and want to see 'em quick"
Danton Immediately sprang to his feet
and STOPPING across the table, hissed in tbt
teeth of the gamester:
tViilain! don't you presume to speak
to my wife again."
The look with which this menace was &C
compsnied was perfectly blasting, and madi
the swarthy and pitted face of the gameste
fairly turn white.
How inconsistent is man! That accom-
plished and high born husband could deliber
ately jeopardize the property and corrode tn
happiness of his wife, hour after hour, da
after day, and year after year, but he coul
not bear that the man whom he had chose
for companion should even as much a
speak to her,

Col. FREMoNT.-We noticed in our an
nual salutatory, condens.ng the remarkable
e, ents OF the last twenty-five years, the "tall
walking" of the gallant Col. Fremont across
the Rocky Mountains. We were most happy
to encounter our enterprising couDt-yman
in the more civilized region of Broadway
looking as well as frst-rate specimen of
the genus homo could. We have often en-
wed the Colonel the exciting pleasure of his
wild adventures, and the successful issue to
which, by his iron will, indomitable energy,
and unfinching courage, he brought his haz-
ardous and gigantic scheme of exploration;
and though we rarely speculate Oh such
matters, we think it would be singular bur
by no means improbable coincidence, if one
VINO has done SO much as pioneer in the
sar-off regions of this great country, should
for time, be called upon 10 preside over the
whole Of it.--N, Y. Spsris Of the Times.

The Song of the Camp.

81, 7o-s By;BaysRD TAYLOR.
"Give us Song!T' the soldier cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
A-- when The heated guns of camps allied
Grew weary of bombarding.
sr The dark Redsn, in silent scof
Lay, grim and. threatening. under;
And the iawny mound of the Malakoff
No longer belched its thunder.
~ There was pause The guardsraan said:
..-r 1--WE storm the fort tomorrow;
- Z Sing while we may. another day
Will bring enough of sorrow -
-ses They hay along the barery's side,
Below the smoking cannon
.-s Brave hearts, from Severn and from Clyde,
-- And from the banks of Shannon.
b. TSey sang of love. and not of fame;
.as Forgot was Britain's glory;
Each heart recalled different name,
--- But all sang "Annie Laurie
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender passion
Rose like an anthem, rich and strong
Their baitle-eve confession
Dear girl. her name he dared notspeak,
Yet, as the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldiers check
Washed off the stains Of powder.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
rhe bloody sunsets embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again fire OF hell
Rained on the Russian quarters,
With scream of shot. and burst Of she'll,
. And believing of the mortars.
And Irish Noras eyes are dim
For a singer, dumb and CORY:
And English Mary mourns for him
- Who sang of "Annie Laurie"
All, soldiers to your honored rest
Your truth and valor bearing;
The bravest the tenderest-
The loving are the daring.
In order that the full force of the poem may be
3preciated by American readers. it may be neces-
sary TO state that the song OF '.AnnIe Laurie Is
TEE song of a British Camp,-that, wherever there
is British regiment this song bears of the gallant
burden of the loving soldiers heart, whether he
sun Of India. AS few comparatively .are familiar
with it, we republish it, also:
Marvellous banks are bonny,
Where early fa's the dew:
And twas there that Annie Laurie
Gave me her promise true,-
And ne'er forget will,
But for bonny Annie Laurie
I'D lay me doun and dee.
Her brow is like the snaw-drift,
Her throat is like the swan,
Her face it is the fairest
That e'er the sun shone on,-
- And dark blue is her e'e,
And for bonny Annie Lourie :.
Idlay me doun and ice.
Like dew on the gowan lying
Is the IA o. her yairy feet,
And like winds in thesummer sighing
Her voice is low and SWEET
And she's a. the world TO me,
And for bonny Annie Laurie
Id lay me doun and dee.
