MISCELLANY.

A FRIGHTENED CONTRABAND. A letter
received from an army CORES pondent on the
Rappahannock relates the following camp
incident:
An amusing incident occurred in camp a
night or two since. A portly young contra
band, from Charleston, 5. c., who escaped
from his rebel master at Antietam, and was
for while quartered subsequently in Wash
ington, was engaged by one OF our junior
staff officers as his body servant, and brought
down here to his quarters to attend him. 1t
CHANGED that the officer had served his coun-
try CALAMITY at Sharpsburg, where he lost a
leg, below the knee, the absence of which had
been made up by an artificial limb, which the
Captain wore with SO easy grace that few
persons who met him suspected his misfortune
his sable attendant being among the bliss
fully ignorant as to the existence of the fact.
The Captain had been "out TO dine" and
returned in excellent spirits to his tent
Upou retiring, he called his darkey servant to
assist him in pulling off his riding boots.
"Now, Jimmy, look sharp" said the Cap
tain. "Im little-ic-flimsy, Jimmy might
Look sharp, an'-ic-pull steady"
Use alters keerful, Cap'n," says Jimmy,
drawing off one long wet boot, with consider
able difficulty, and standing it aside.

perhaps that his master was quite as tight"
as he deemed his boot to be.
Easy, now-that's it, Pull awayr' con-
tinued the Captain, good-naturedly, and en-
joying the prospective joke, while he loosened
the straps about his waist which held his
cork-leg up-"nor you've got Yip-there
you arel Oh, Lord! oh, Lord! oh, Lord!"
screamed the Captain, the contraband,
cork-leg, ridmg-boot and ligatures tumbled
across the tent in heap, and the one-legged
officer fell back on his pallet, convulsed with
spasmodic laughter At this moment the
door opened aud lieutenant entered.
"G'way fun me, g'way fun me-lemmy be I!
lemmy be! amt done nufiin," yelled the
contraband Justify, and rushed to the door,
really sapposing he had pulled his masters
leg clean OF. "Lemmy 60! didn't do muffin
-g'wayl g'wayp And Jimmy put for the
woods in his desperation, since which he
hasn't been seen or heard from, though his
captain has diligently sought for him far and
near. Jimmy was good servant, but we
never before were treated to sight of thor
ongoly frightened contraband. There is little
doubt the darkey is running yet!

POETRY.



Auspicious was the steam,
Whatever were the gales,
Which, faster than old Neptune's team,
. Unto the Priaee of Wales
The fair young maid of Denmark bore,
The monarch of the sea
Soon saw his nags were beat;
So therefore round the More went he 20
After the British feet,
To wait the happy royal pair
- At Osborne, and receive them there
Down in the deep he dived,
There heard the shouts of England's joy,
But, when the blssful train arrived,
Emerged like an old buoy;
Above the waves his placid head
He heaved, and blandly smiling, said:
"Yoho, there! Dowse my glims!
Alloy Bless your sweet eyes.
Avast, say! My eyes and limbs
Could command the skies,
I'd cause them to rain grog and flip
For all the tars in every ship.
"How'sever here's your health,
Sir; Marin, the same 10 You!
Long life, the best of luck and health,
Or else-why, foul my screw!
Shatter my plates, unbolt me, rust
My armor, and my engine bust!
"Well, now you're snug in port,
From them landlubbers noise
You comes for me to give you SPORT
Below, there! Girls and boys,
Triton and Nereids. pipe all hands, show We
Them there young folks the pastimes of the sea. ="
