THE COMMON SOLDIER.

NOBODY cared when he went to war,
But the woman who cried on his shoulder,
Nobody decked him with immortalles--
He was only a common soldier.
Nobody packed in q dainty trunk
Folded raiment and officers fare
A knapsack held all thenew recruit
Night own, or love, or eat, or wear.
Nobody gave him goodbye fate
With sparkling jest and iower-crowned wine.
Two or three friends on the sidewalk stood
Watching for Jones. the fourth in line.
Nobody cared how the battle went
With the man who fought till the bullet sped
Through the coat undecked with leaf or star
On a common soldier left for dead.
The cool rain bathea the 6evered wound,
And the kind clouds wept the liTelOng night,
A pitying lotion nature gave
TIL help might come with morning light.
Such help as the knife of the surgeon gives,
Cleaving the gallant arm from shouldef;
And another Eame swells the pension list
For the meagre pay Of a common soldier.
See, over yonder all day he stands
An empty sleeve in the soft wind sways,
As he holds ais lonely left hand out
For charity at the crossing ways.
And thus now, with bitter shame,
He begs his bread and hardly livesi
So YEARLY seeks he out the sum
Aproud and gratefulC2) country gives.
What matter how he served the guns
When plume and sash were over yonder?
What matter though he bore the flag
Through binding smoke and battle thunder
What matter that a wife and child
Cry softly for that good arm, rent ?
And wonder why that random shot
To him, their own beloved, was sent
Oh, patriot hearts, wipe out this staini
Give jeweled cup and sword no morei
But let no common soldier blush
To own the loyal blue he wore.
Shout loud and long for victory won
By chief and leader staunch and true;
But don't forget the boys that fought
Shout for the common soldier too.

THE QUEENS ENGLISH.

A SEA horse Is a sea horse
When you see him in the sea;
But when you see him in the bay,
A bay horse then is he.
Ofeourse, a race course isn't course,
A fine is far from fine;
It is a saddening sight to see
A noble pine tree pine.
Hminors are all miners, then
Their guardians get their gains;
All glaciers extra pains should take
To put In extra panes.
A bat about farmers room
Not long ago knew
To fly. lie caught a fly, and then
Flew up the chimney flue.
But such a scene was never seen
lam quite sure of that
As when with sticks all hands essayed
To hit the bat a bat
"How do you do ?" said Sal to John,
"SO-so," ," replied he;
allow do you do ?" said John to Sal,
Sometimes seW-seW," ," said she.
A kitchen maid is often made
To burn her face or broil it,
A lady will do little else
Than Toll if at her toilet.

OUR BABY.

DID you ever see our baby
Little Tot?
With hor blue eyes sparkling bright,
Luscious cheeks Of rose and white,
Lips Of glowing ruddy light.
Tell you what,
She is just the sweetest baby
Ofthe lot.
You don't think so? You ne'er saw her
Ifyou could,
Mong her pretty playthings elattering,
While her little tongue was chattering,
Think you would
Say with me she was the sweetest,
Ifyou should.
Every grandma's only darling,
Isuppose,
To her eye Qts not PITY
Is as bright and fresh and pretty,
Is as cunning and as witty
As my rose,
Heavenly FatherI spare them to US
Till lfe's close.

CO. D.-The Green Bay Advocate thus
explains, in answer to a correspondent, the
meaning of those csbalistic characters:
oThey are not the advertisement Of q pat
ent medicine, or of anybody's bitters They
are simply the result of an idle habit they
have down East, requiring us Western peU-
pie to yay for such little goods as we may
compliment them by ordering. The letters
simply mean "Chell Out Darnquick." It is
mortifying that so large a concern as the
- Express Company should spell so bad
". and use such profanity; but as we are
not responsible for public education and NOR
ais, we can do no more than alltde to It.

a Grand Old Railroad Ride.

TIE editor of the Toledo Commercial &C.
cOmpanied the English capitalists on their sx-
eursion from St. Louis to Chicago. snss1,.
ing Of the special train provided bv the Di-
rectors Of the Illinois Central Railway he
thus describes the accommodations and en-
tsrt=inment furnished the guests:
The cars are fitted up in magnificent styls
sofas and couches, and ottomans and mir
rors and carpets, giving them the aspect OF
splendid apartments on Gland :" and it is no
great stretch Of Imagination to fancy ones
self at sea on these lllimitable prairies; around
you there is a circle Of vegetation; beyond
this rim, the grass fades into dull, misty
blue-and so on until the horizon bounds the
vision without mark or object, save here and
there, at long intervals, some white mark or
wreath Of curling smoke, telling Of home=
steads in the wilderness. But the arrange.
ments Of the cars do not stop with their
splendid furnishings. There are sleeping
saloons for those who may feel inclined for
"forty winks"-there are lavatories with ev-
cry appliance of the toilet-tLere IS Iarder
and "cellar" bounteOusly stocked with viands
and liquors OF the choicest kind, and there is
a complete kitchen, in which there Is now
being prepared dinner that Judging by the
carte would do no discredit to the cuisine of
your Oliver House in Toledo, and that's ssy-
ing something. And still the lavish hostili-
ties do not end here. Niger walters dress
ed in uniform passed through the carriages in
patches Of three, and in quick succession
One batch laden with baskets of champagne
glasses and rinsing buckets-another armed
with huge bowls of claret punch deliciously
cool and refreshing-a third comes with ci-
gars Of every brand and favor-a fourth an
peals to you with Guinness Dublin Stout, or
Scotch Ale, or genuine Secale A,atiguam-we
like to give the new scientific name for "Old
Rye"-and fifth, why the fifth before the
fourth has departed, is our friend with the
champaign basket; and so on one follows an
other until they make a sort Of endless chain
Of dispensers who will permit no one to dis
pense with their services. The management
Of the refreshment department on board was
entrusted to Mr.. Kinsley ofthe Crosby Opera
House Restaurant, Chicago, and most salts
factorily and literally did that gentleman ac4
quit himself

is perhaps anew thing amongst explorers and
travellers, but never, we venture to say was
there anything like the scene just now pre-
sented. One car is fitted up as a dining sa-
loon; cloths are spread, and tables, impro-
vised for the occasion, are laden. There are
soups and fish and joints and entrees-so1ne
with plain English nanes=some disguised
with French nomenclatures-but all excel
lent. Then there follow confectionery,
creams and ices and desert, and accompany
ing the whole are choice wines and liquors.
The flow Of spirits and wit is as copious as
the flow Of champaigns, and those who sup
pose that John Bull is a stolid unimaginative
being, should hear our friends crack Jokes as
they crack their walnuts The entire affair
Is one of feasting and fun, and for our part
we shall remember, as one Of the most en-
ioyable occasions of our life, the banquet
spread on the prairie on the 18th day Of Sep
tember, 1866.
