The SONG OF THE CAMP.
A cEYNKAs INCIDENT.
"Givc US A song the soldier, cried,
The outer trenches guarding.
When the heated guns Of the camps
allied
Grew weary Of bombarding
The dark Relsn, in .ilcn. scoT.
Lay grim and threatening under
And the ,awny mound Of the MalakoI
No longer beheld is thunder
There was spause--'he guarlsman said
We storm the forts tomorrow
Sing while VIC may anothor day
VII bring enough of sorrow
They lay along the b.'tery'- side,
Below the smoking cannon
Brave hearts from Severn and from
Clyde,
And from tho banks Of shannon
They sang ofloce, and not Of fame
Forgot was Britains GLORY
Each heart recalled dii!eren, name,
Bu, all sang Annie Laurie.
Voice after voice caught up the SOM.
Until its tender passion
Rose like an anthem, rich and strong
Tdeir battleeyc confession
Dear girl, her name he dared not speak
Yet ~ the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldiers cheek
Washed Of the stains Of powder
Beyond the darkcnng ocean burned
Tho bloody sunsets emher-
While the Crimean valies learned
How English love remember.
And once again Ere Of he'll
Rsinad on the Russian quarters
W,.h scream Of .ho, and burst of shell
And believing Of the murtars
And Irish Nora eyes arc dim
For q singer, dumb and CORY:
And English Mary mousns for him
Who sang Of Annie Laurie
Oh, soldier. 10 YOUR hanorel res'.
Your truth and yalor bearing.
The bra,csi are the ,onderest-
The loving are .he daring

Affection.

How much more we might make of our
family life, of our friendship, if every secret
thought of love bossomed in to deed We
are now speaking merely of personal caresses,s
of affection, many are endowed with . deli>
cacy, of fastidiousness of physical organiza-
ton, which shrinks away from too much of
these, repealed and overpowered. But there
are words and looks, and little observances,
thoughtfalness, watchful little attentions,
which speak of love, which make it manifest
aud there is scarcely family that might not,
be richer in heart wealth for more of them.
Ii is mistake to suppose that relations
must, of course, love eacn other because they
are relations.
Love must be cultivated, and can be in
creased by judiclous culture, as wild fruits
may double their bearings under the hands of
a gardener; and love can dwindle and die
out of neglect, as choice fower-seeds planted
in poor soil dwndle and grow single.
Two causesin our Anglo Saxon nature, pre-
which strike one so pleasantly in the Italian
nor French hfe-the dread Of fattery, and
constitutional shyness. ~ perfectly long 10

these dreadfully sincere people go on. side by

them, all the time, the impression of utter

Parents are so afraid of exciting pride and
vanity in their children. by the expression Of

the kind things that rise in our hearts, and
tremble back on our lips; do tie gentle and
hopeful deeds that We long to do, and shrink
back from. and, little by little, it will grow
easier-the love spoken will bring back the
answer Of love: the kind deed will bring
back kind deed in return-till the hearts in

0, tenderly the naughty day
Pills his blue urn with fire,
One morn is in the mighty heaven,
And one m our desire.
The cannon booms from town to town,
Our pulses are not less;
The joy bells ring the tidings down,
Which children's voices bless.
For lie who spread your broad lue field,
Ger mantliug hand and sea-
One third part OF tho sky uurolled
For the banner of the free!
The men are ripe of Saxon kind
To build an equal State,
To take the statute from the mind,
And make Of duty fate.
United States! The Ages plead.
Present and past, in under-song,
Go, put your creed into your deed,
Nor speak with double tongue
Fer sea and land don't understand,
Nor skies, without ffoWn.
See sights for which the one hand fights,
With the other eleven down
Be just at home--then stretch beyond
Your sceptre DER the sea,
And make the broad Atlantic pond
A ferry of the free.
Aud heneeforth there shall be no chain,
Save underneath the sea,
The wires shall whisper through the main,
Sweet songs of Liberty.
The conscious stars accord above
The waters wild below,
And ceaseless through the cable wove
Her fiery errands 60.
For He that worketh high and wise,
Nor pauses in His plan,
Will take the sun out of the skies
Ere freedom out of man.
