FRIEND LUre Il have had the pleas
ure to-day of visiting Camp Randall
the first time have been out since the
! 18th came into camp. | notice no ma
tcrial changes. With the change of regi-
ments we have new men and new COM
manders, but the same general feature
of military life and discipline, -remind
inc US of our country's wants and how
they are supplied. Everything is being
made more snug for cold weather, The
parade ground bears marks Of continued
use, nearly every trace of the grass once
growing there being obliterated.
| confined my visit mainly to the bar
racks of the Lyon Light Guard. The
company seem to be well pleased with
their quarters and fare, and are enjoying
highly their commencement Of camp life.
| was greatly gratifed with the sight of
so many familiar faces among those who
have resolved on self denial and self SAG
rifce for our country's sake. In their
company drill under Lieut.. Maxson, they
performed with much credit to them
selves, and | think they well deserve the
high compliment paid them by tho Gov
einor this morning at review. lie as
sured them they were as fine q company
as he had seen in the army. The sol
diers of the Lyon Light Guard are men
well worthy to represent the "Banncr
County," and in sending them she main
tains her credit as we'll for furnishing
men for the war as the means for sus-
tanning them.
Last Sabbath. P. NJ, services for tie
llth regiment were held in the Episeo-
pal church, Rev, J. Button, VITO leaves
this church to serve as their Chaplain

crowded" aud the services very interes-
ting. The marching to and from tie
church was imposing, and as they star
ted for camp the band struck up Oh
Corunation, which was at the same time
beautiful and appropriate.
Election passed off very quietly in Ibis
vicinity. A light vote was poied i" as

The latter threw down his gun and yelled
with pain, when the Irishman rushed to

Sting OF THE B.-During the war
bad luck has marked all our efforts in
places the names Of which begin with B..
Had we not, in the beginning, Big Beth
ell, then Bull Run, Balls Bluff, and on
Thursday last, of all Belmont. Our ma
val expedition is now bombarding Bead
fort, on Broad river, in Beaufort COUNT,
South Caroln1. Should we be badly
beaten, and our barques, brigs and brig
antines be broken and battered at that
bull batting, we shall beg that the letter
8 be branded seccsh, and booted out of
the alphabet. Brigadier Beauregard, the
braggart. is at Beaufort, where he will
batter the bombarders as badly as they
were bruised at the Balize. But our boys
being not boastful can bang back. Let
the B sting Press.

From the Atlantic Monthly

from the Atlantic MOnIDiT.
I think the quick fagots at the stake
were filter subjects for laughter than the
slow knawing hunger in the heart of
many sighted woman or selfish man.
They come out Of the trial as out of
martyrdom, according to their faith: you
see its marks sometimes in q frivolous old
age going down with tawdry hopes and
starved eyes to the grave; you see its
victory in the freshest. fullest lives in the
earth. "A Story of To-Day.
From grosser passions, whose roots lie
in the senses, there is always refuge in
mans lofter nature. He can cast them
aside with contempt, and leave them as
one whose lower story is flooded can re-
move to a higher loft, and live serene V
with a purer all and wider prospect. But
to love that is born of ideality, of intel
lectual sympathy, Ct harmonies Of the
spiritual and immortal nature, of the very
poetry and purity of the soul, if it be
placed where reason and religion forbid
its exercise and expression, what refuge
but the grave,-what hope but that wide
eternity where all human barriers fall, all
human relations end, and love ceases to
be crime ?-Agnes Of Sorrento.
