The boy who stood on the burning
deck, whence all but he had fed, and

mans, in toleraLlc verse, makes out
Casabianca's first name was Owen
he was the son of Louis CaSabIanca,
Colsican, and a friend Of Bonaparte.
His mother, The Springfield Republic

full CorSican, devotedly attached to
her son. Owen was her only child, a
manly, handsome little fellow, with
her beauty in his flashing eyes and
dusky hair. She died while he was
Fyet quite young, and the boy went
with his father, and became the pet OF
all on board. He was made midship-
man, and at the earl y age of ten was
with his father in the battle of tie
Nile. The ship caught fire during
the action, and Captain Casabianca
was struck in the head by splinter,
which laid him upon the deck insensi-
BILE His gallant son, unconscious of
the cllieftain's doom, still held his post
at the battery, where he worked like
the hero he was. He saw the flames
raging around him; he saw the ships
crew deserving him one by one, and
the boy was urged to flee. With
courage and GOODNESS beyond his
years, he refused to desert his post.
Worthy son Of Louis Casabianca, he
fought on aud never abandoned the
Orient till the whole of the immense
vessel was in flames. Then, seeking
refuge on floating mast, he left the
burning ship behind him. But he was
too late. The final catastrophe came
like the Judgment doom. With an ex-

felt it to the bottom, The Orient blew
up, and from among the wreck the
next morning was picked up the dead,

of the bravest Of the free;
T fought emit Siegel" in the fight
Between the blue and the grey
Now I'm after "JO''-With Howard
A HUNDRED MILES AWAY!
We started on Chief Joseph's track,
A thousand troops OF more,
With volunteers and brigadiers,
A regular martial corps,
We caught the Indians lin trap
But the redskins would stay,
They heard that our brave Howard was
Two HUNDRED MILES AWAY!
Next morning early mounted
We gave the redskins chase,
Through Camas Prairie we followed
At very livery pace,
At length we overlook them,
The Indians stood at bay,
But our gallant Gen. Howard was
THREE HUNDRED MILES AWAY!
The redskins started toward the East
And then we started too,
We followed their trail through marsl
and swale
A martial sight to view;
Bold Gibbons caught them on the fly,
And had a sharp attray,
Whilst Towards corps heard the battl
Four HUNDRED NILES AWAY!
The redskins still retreatcd East,
Brave Howard followed too,
A thousand troops were in the chase
Determined to die or do,
But our teamsters struck for wages,
Just at the break Of day,
And Howard, yes bold Howard, was
FIVE HUNDRED MILES AWAY
Chief Joseph he skedaddled again,
Beyond our mortal sight
Still on we rode determined to
Achieve bloody fight,
We kept his trail by day and night
So eager for the fray
Until we heard that Howard was
SIX HUNDRED MILES AWAY!
At last we reached Virginia,
In Montana Territory,
Where halt was called for everyone,
Horse, foot and cavalry;
But Joseph he's still running
Whilst we stay here and pray
That Howard he might only be
TEN THOUSAND MILES AWAY
So when the statues Of the brave
Bedeck the shrine of fame
And none amidst the lot will bear
Our gallant Towards name,
If strangers ask the reason why
He has no mould in clay?
The answer bC-Oecause he was
So MANY MILES AWAY!

THE DEATH OF GEN. LYON.
RI A Townsend in Philadelphia Times ]


TG A. Townsend in Philadelphia Times.l
Price had been compelled to give
way before the attack of Lyon; but,
when Siegel was beaten McCulloch
marched back over the battle field
and turned the tide Of events. 1t was
near nine o'clock, and Lyon, tor the
first time doubtful, yet brave. led on
the last attack, riding his horse in be-
tween the 1st Kansas and the lst|
Iowa. Heron saw his horse fall, and
saws that it seemed to sink down as
if vitality struck, neither plunglng nor
reeling. Lyon then walked on, way
inc his sword and hallooing, and ne
fell only about twenty yards distance
from Heron, who was marching at
the side of his company. Lyon had
worn a white felt hat and only his
old Captains uniform. As he lett his
dead horse and limped along-for he
had now been wounded in the leg-he
looked stunned and white; but, with
an impulse of high spirit, he raised his
sword and cried, "come onP Then he
showed blood on the side of his head,
from another wound, and was also
shot through the body, and he dropped.
The butcher, into whose arms he tell,
says that he gasped: Lehman, Pm
going" He fell about 100 yards IN
advance of his dead horse. Heron
looked into his livid face, the precious
breath feeling at his lips, the great IL
on heart striking its own knell. 1t
was but an instant, yet an eventtul
one in any young mans life. Her.
rons look was only for an instant; he
stepped back beside his company, and
the battle went on-Sturges conclad-
ing it. The regiments Lyon led on
advanced about 400 yards beyond his
body, and the battle ended before i

that all the crooked transactions OF

The inn keeper was a fine gentleman. and,

She had bracelets on her wrists; jingling

some of her pretty blonde hair had strsg-
gled down upon her round forehead. She
seemed TO be violently repressing herself.
