The bud-besprinEIed boughs and hedseS'

Waving beside the waters brink,
Come ike cool drink
To fever'd lips. like fresh soft mead
To kline that feed
Much happier than the kline, bed

In grass. I see far mountains btne
Like heay'n in view,
Green world and sunny sky above
Alive with loyei
All all however came they there,
Diyinely fair.
Is this the better oracle
Or what streets tell!

Man puts in life !

SUMMER ENCAMPMENT.-L Wednes-
day evening the West Augusta Guard, under
Capt. Bumgardner, and Staunton Artillery
with two small pieces, under Capt. Fultz,
marched to Stribling Springs, and went into
camp. The tents were pitched on the
grounds northwest of the Hotel and formed
picturesque extension Of the rows Of COT
tages. On Thursday evening the Stonewall
Band joined the military and its sweet music
added the browning attraction to the place.
During their sojourn the companies were
held under strict military discipline, and
without an exception the conduct of the
men deserved credit. The wild rumors of
dissipation, &C., which were so freely circu-
lated about the streets on Friday, were with
out particle Of foundation, and we venture
to say that no body of men Of like size and
age, ever conducted themselves with more
propriety. IT'S true that the dress parade
of the Mulligan Guards at night was fire.
quently noisy and boisterous, but it was the
exuberance of animal spirits, unaided by the
liquid. Their fun was greatly enjoyed by
the guests and every evening the porches
were crowded to witness the procession.
On Sunday evening the camp was broken
up, and the men returned home more than
pleased with their recreation and loud in
praise of their hospitable entertainment by
the Proprietor of the Springs. The friends
Of the military may well congratulate them
selves on both the appearance and demeanor
Of the soldiers whilst in camp, and the SOL
diers themselves will regret that their visit
was so limited and that long time must
elapse before it can be repeated.
