- The following poem by an American-wbom
we know not-is greatly superior to Tennyson,s 4
"Charge of the Light Brigade" and equal. in our
opinion, to Halleck's "Marco Bozarris'' -
BALAKLAyA.
"Charge rung voice
Along the waiting lines
Like sudden wind
That strikes the forest pines,
And then drops dead upon the leaves it stirred
SO fell, with dead sound, that cruel word
Charge why, twas wild
Stern chieftains held their breath
To make the braves of Albion
Charge the realms of Death
"Charge' rung that voice along the waiting ranks
Then scabbards cashed against the charges fanks,
Then through the opening made
Rushed dauntless, undismayed,
The flower of Englands chivalry-
The gallant Light Brigade
"Charge! -
And they charged, o God through iron rain I
Through bursting shells and Kissing balls
Even to the Russians fiery walls
Braid them wreath =
Behind they lft sckening train
OF horses, mangled, dying, slain
Braid them q wreath
On, through scorching sheets of flame
On, where the mouthng cannons flashed
Where hand-grenade and rocket crashed
On, through sulphurous cloud and shell
Into the purple heart of hell
On, as to victory they dashed
Instead Of death On on they come
To immortality, and fame
That mocks the little tyranny of Death
Britons when your lips shall boast
Of fields and scepters you have won,
OF Waterloo and Wellington
Oh honor and revere the most,
The flower of chivalry ye lost
At Balaklava.
And when ye pour the blood-red wine
Freely as 'twere mountain flood
When chalices and hearths are trimmed
Britons let your eyes be dimmed
For free as wine ran martyr blood
At Baaklava.
Oh, who in after-times can say
One man was bravest in the fray,
For all were heroes on that day
AT Balaklava.

The Louisville democrat, thus speaks
of the Kansas Constitution, and we are sure
its remarks will meet the approval of all
rational mep:
AS to submitting the Constitution to the
people after it is made, that-mark it--wi!
be done, and it is idle to oppose it. The
pro-slavery men in Kansas will insist upon
It. We venture to say that no delegate is
elected, who did not promise to submit his
work. to the popular vote before t was pre-
sented tc Congress. 1t it rather late in the
day to expect generous confidence to be
carried SO far by the voters of any State OF
Territor, as to induce them to take work oi
Convention, with cut chance to examine
i. before 1t is fixed upon them as an or
ranic Law. A Constitution is rather too i'm
portant to justify such confidence. If the
convention should, perchance, make an an
tislavery Constitution after all, these men
would change their opinions, and demand
its submission to the people. We hold thai
the submission Of the Constitution after
it is made, to the popular vote, is right and
proper. 1t is aencesslty. Delegates can
not be elected to form Constitution, by any
party, who do not promise to submit their
work to the popular vote.

Thou art growing old, my Mothcr,~
And thy brow is marked Va care,
All furrowed is thy aged esA-k,
Once beautiful and fair;
Thy soft brown locks are sadly changed,
Chill frosts are settled there.
And touching with many freezing kiss,
Thy gentle flowing hair.
Thou art growing old, my Mother,
As catch the half-drawn sigh,
Well know that years of sorrow
Have bedimmed thy melting eye;
But with gentle lisbtit beame,h,
Beameth on me even yet,
With love that never changeth,
Till the SUI of life is set.
Thou art growing old, my Mother;
Many of our household band
Have before thee journied onward,
To the far off 'sbetter land;"
But thy voice IN tender accents
Still is falling on my ear,
Sweetly Frightening my pathway,
Which, without thee were SO drear.
Thou art growing old, my Mother,
And around thy youngest born
Shadows gather-darkly gather
Even to life's early morn;
But the blessed Savior spareth
Thee, to still protect thy child,
While the storms of sorrow hover,
Hover o'er me dark and wild!
Thou ere growing old. my Mother,
Soon | feel that thou wilt rest
In the "land of the hereafter"
In the region of the blest.
Who will love me then, my Mother.
When the last life chord is riven?
Let US pray that both together
