oL-' 49, SONG OF THE CAMP.
10 BaYard 'Taylor's beautiful verses, found
edyon an incident in the Crimedn war,
20 will bear repetition az this time, when war,
its glory, and it's sorrows, occupy the
mind Of the nation: 1 a-feii3i
"Giye us song IN the soldiers cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
When the heated gun of the camp allieds
Grew weary Of 6arbarding;
The dark Rsdan. in silent SCOT,
Lay, grim and threatening, under,
And the tawny.nouth Of the MalakOtf
-. No longer belched its thunder.
There was a pause. The guardsman said:
siiisWe storm tue forts tO-mOrrOw;
Sing while we may anOtherday
-Hh Will bring enough of sorrow"
gITbey laysalong the battery,s side,
Lee Below lhe smoking cannon
% Brave hearts from, Severn and from Clyde,
sai And from the banks of shannon.
They sang of love and not of fame
Forgot was Britain's gloryi
Each heart recalled a different name,
But all sang-ttAnnie Laurie"
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until SLENDER passion
Rose like an anthem, rich and strong
- Their tattIeeVe confession.

DearagirI--her name he dared not speak
ButVas the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldiers check
Washed of tho'stainS OF powder.

BEYOND the darkening ocean burned
10 The bloody sunsets embers,
.aWhile the Crimean valleys learnsd
How English love remembers.
And once again fire of hell
ts Rained on the Russian quarters,
With scream Of shot and burst of shell,
.ss Aud believing OF the mortars.
Aud Irish Hora's 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
itizYour truth and vHlor bearing;
The braVest are the tenderest-
gHtThe loving are the daring.
