PERSONAL We had the pleasure of
taking by the hand Mr.. Cammer, river
reporter for the Memphis Avalanche.
Mr.. Cammer is a wholesouled gentleman,
and we have reason to believe he enjoyed
the festivities of the Masonic celebration
as much as the natives. Call again
0sceolG Times.
The river reporter alluded to by the
Times is not only q regular ~lady-killer,
but an admirer Of p%Oetical genius. Why
he was sailing under false colors we can
not divine, and requires explanation.
The following lines we're addressed to
him by a lady whom he met by the river
side on a moonlight night and became
smitten with, on the recent Masonic ex.
e%ursion Of the Frank Forest to Osceola.
His love at first sight, it will be seen, is
reciprocated by the charming ArksnsaI
belle in the accompanying beautiful
lines:
TO J.o. CAMMER.
In thinking Of you tonight
Idon't forget, you see,
As / sit In the moonlight
Under the old apple tree.
Tits berry strange indeed
That the smiles will cher come,
As I think Of you. Julius,
And the time we had coming home.
And Ihope to meet you again.,
And enjoy another pleasant ride,
Aso on the old Frank Forest,
When she come putting down the tide.
Farwell; and though il may not be
Our lot on earth again TO meet.
Yet the pleasant part caused by thee
Shall vibrate on my memory
And make thy recollection sweet.
GOODNIGHT.
