Flowers in June.

Once, long ago, in summers glow,
We treaded, you and 1,
A gardens maze of pleasant ways,
Whose beauty charmed the eye
Where violets bent in sweet content,
And pinks stood proud and high.
And from their screen of tender green
Broad pansies peeping through,
Wore gorgeous dyes like butterflies; er-
Cool lilies kept the dew;
And fair and tall along tue wall
The climbing roses grew.
The velvet bees. in fragrant case,
Lay drunken with perfume
Song-sparrows made the gardens shade
Their fitting concert-room;
And all the air was music there,
And all the earth was bloom.

rass the operations of the troops in the field
and might, perhaps, defeat the Igreat objec
of the expedition.
Nearly three weeks after the disappearance
of M'Donald and Davis, the train started
from Camp Supply in the midst of terrific
snow storm. Not landmark was visible
Through the binding seet and cold wind
guided by the compass alone which the com
manding officer held in front of him, at The
head of the long column of half frozen mer
and animaIs) the mules pulled the heavy
through the drifts to their first camping
ground at the crossing of the Beaver, ten
miles down the river.
The storm ragged all night, and hut few
slept. All their energy was tasked to keer
the camp fires lighted, and themselves from
freezing In the gray dawn of the next
morning the half-dead mules were again har-
messed, the stiff icy leather cracking like a
rifle as it was thrown over their bumped uI
backs, and only with the greatest urging
would they move at all. The men cramped
with the biting wind silently fell into line,
and just as the sun began to gild the hills
high up on the left Of the trail,-for the
storm was rapidly clearing away-the order
to move forward was given.
While the command was marching away,
and the wagons creaking as they rolled over
the snow, the coyotes who had been impa-
tiently watching from the bluffs since day
light for this move, trotted swapping and
barking into the camp to breakfast on the
bacon rinds, pieces of leather, or anything
else that had been left round the fires, (for
that animal is the least fastidious of all the
lupus family and accepts as graciously the
Juiceless leg of an old pair Of cavalry boots,
as ne does the rich ribs of a young ante
lope.
As the sun rose higher, and a mile or two
had taken the stiffness out of the mules
backs, they began to recover their normal
proportions. The men, like all soldiers, soon
forgot their suiierings of the night before,
the cavalry, anxious to meet war party of
Arrapahoes of Cheyennes, pushed forward on
the trail, and all We're fairly on their march
to the next camp in the blue mist far beyond
the horizon.
The country between the Arkansas and
Canadian, the two great rivers of the central
plains, is solitary and desolate, beyond the
power of description even in summer. The
Arkansas obeys the tortuous windings OF its
treeless banks with plaeidness that is awful
