IN castle hall or cottage homes,
Wherever guiltleSs childhood Tnaus,
oh, there is nothing hall SO sweet
A busy tread OF little feet.
The signing breeze, the oceans roar,
The purring rill, the organs power.
Al stir the soul, but none so deep
A tiny tread of little feet.
w hen forth We 20 al early morn,
10 meet the world and brave its scOrn,
Adown the walk so neat
We sec the prints of little feet.
At eve, wien homeward we repair.
With aching limb and brow OF care,
The voices sing out clear and sweet,
Then comes the rush Of little feet.
The knives are lost, the dishes stray.
The tools are spirited away,
And when we go the lost to seek,
We take the trail of little feet.
But when the angel Death hath come,
And calls these flowers from our home,
oppressive silence reigns complete;
We miss the sound of little feet.
Then tools are safe, no dishes stray,
No doors go slamming all the day;
But oh, 'twould give US pleasure sweet
10 hear again those noisy feet.
Soft night has come, all are asleep;
Yes, all but me: 1 vigil keep.
Hush. hush, my heart, and cease to beat
Was that the step of little feet?
Yes, mother, twas the softened tread
OF him you miss and mourn as dead:
And often in your sweetest sleep
lou'll dream of hearing little feet.
And when this pilgrimage is DER,
And you approach that bliss1ul shore,
The first to run your soul to greet
WIN be your darling's little feet.

RUSSIA vs. TURKEY.
The Recaplure of Bayazid.
CONSULATES NOT PURPOSELY
INJURED.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BATTLE.

NEW YORK, July IA. A dispatch from Giurge.
va says that from close inspection of the vari
ons batteries at Slabosa and from the observation
OF Turkish positions, the damage dome both to
kustchuk and Slabosa may have been caused in
the course of an engagement without either Turks
or russians having designedly attempted to de-
stroy dive llings, consulates, &c.
Cable dispatches from Titiis give details of the
defence and re-capture Of Bayazid, showing the
small garrison cut of month ago, and surround
ed by the Turks and Kurds numbering thirteen
thousand. Constant vigilance and sleeplessness
were aggravated by hunger and thirst, and by the
swarms OF flies. Volunteers daily made sorties
TO procure water outside of the works, few of
them returning, as the fierce fire of the Turks
nearly destroyed them.
On the 9th of July the little garrison at Bayazid
descrled the Russian advance in the distance and
immediately opened strong fire on the Turks to
distract their attention. The Russian advance
soon came up, and the Turks at rst held them in
check, both armies fighting iercey, but finally
drove the Turks in every direction, and at the
close OF the day the brave defenders were reliey-
ed by their comrades.
