BULL, RUN.
By A FIRE zouAyE,

Oh, its all very well for you fellefs
That don't know fire from the SUI
To curl your moustache and tell US
Just how the thing ougbter been done;
But when twenty wake up ninety Thousand,
There's nothin' eau follow but root.
We didn't give in till we had to;
And what are yer coughin' about?
The crowd that was with them ere rebels
Had ten 20 our every man;
But h7emaDs 6remaD me covey,
And he'll put out fire. if be can:
so we run the masheen at q gallop,
As easy as open and Shut
And as fast as one feller went under
Another kept takin der butt.
You oughter seen Farnham that mornin
In spite OF the shot aud the she'll
II orders kept ringin' around us
As clear as the City II oil bell.
He said sll he could to encourage
And tighten the hearts of the men
Until he was bleeding and wounded,
Aud nary dried rp on it then.
While two rifle regiments fought us,
And batteries tnmhled ns down,
Them cursed Black Horse fellers charged Us
Like oil the dead rabbits in town.
AND that just the ways with them rebels,
It's ten upon one or no fair;
But we emptied few of their saddles
You may bet oil your soap on that air
"Donhle np!' say. our colonel, quite roolly.
W hen he saw them come riding like mad
And we did double up 10 hurry,
And let them have all that we had,
! They came at us counting hundred,
Ind scarcely two dozen went back
SO you see, if they huiled Us on aces,
We made big thing with the Jack.
We fought till red shirts were as plenty
As hlackberries, strewiug the grass,
And then we ipll back for a breathing,
! To let Sixty nine's frIlers pasa.
Perhaps Sixty.nine didn't ppg them,

Well--l've just got to say, il they didn't

The Brooklyn Fourteenth was another,
nd them Minnesota chaps, too;
Bot the ODDS were too heavy against us,
And but one thing was LETT MS to do:
We had to make tracks for our quarters,
And flushed it up pretty rough;
But IT any chap says that they licked US,

They are the cherry, the bell, aud the bugle ;
50 named from the resemblance of the fruit
TO a cherry, TO tell, aud TO bead, called a
bugle bead.
The uses OF this fruit are various. 1t is
uuequalled as q sauce for meats, aud its rich
flavor, and beautiful color. not only please
the palate, but ornament the table. IT is
also used in pies ard puddngs, ard when
made into marmalade. jellies, jana, Sc, no
irut, either Wild or cultivated, possesses so
delicate favor. 4 contemporary, in speak
Ing Of the pcldlty Of the cranberry, says it is
not tauaric, like that Of the apple, or grape,
but more delicate than either and when the
merits aud qualities Of the fruit are better
known, il viii become IA valuable restorative
in many cases of loss Of physical power. Its
more general use would tend 10 promote
