When Wheat is Green,

Whom wheat is green in iurro"ed he'"S'
And forest lanes are lined with leaves
And passion unto pleading yields,
And every mateless maiden gricNeN
For lack of love, at such time
My pleasure will be in its prime
The clouds that keep away the sun
And cover up the moon at nlgh'
Before the strong March wind Will run
And leave the heavens blue and bright,
The sun will shine upon the sea--
The moon will light the wood for me-
And then, ah, then! Oh, dearest days
Laburnum braLcheS, thick with bIoom'
VIII throw their gold garden ways,
And kiss the windows of my room;
And then the day! How will IT be
To li,ein such felicity!
NV brow with blossoms Will De oound,
And from my fears shall be free;
Oh, tsrdy time, bring quickly round

Am Episode In the Russo Turkish
Campaign of 1911.

In 1871 the opposing Russian and Turk
ish armies stood facing each other on
opposite banks of the Danube. During
the night between the 9Th and 9th of Sep
tember the Turks succeeded, by making
feint, and so attracting the Russians to
a spot some three miles below the real
point Of passage, in throwing force of
1900 men aud four guns across the river,
short distance above Giurgevs. The
first attempts of the Russians to drive
this small body back into the river were
successfully withstOod; reinforcements
were rapidly brought over from the right
to the left bank, until, finally, 10000 men
and 80 guns were assembled on the north
ern shore. Every effort to advance fur
ther and drive back the Russian army,
which had fallen back into an intrenched
position, was, however, repulIed, the
Turks themselves being obliged, after
time, to construct intrenchmonts to with
stand the counter attacks directed against
them. Unable to drive back the invad-
ing force, the Russians desisted from any
further active measures against it, but
bringing strong dotilla of gunboats up
the Danube to prevent supplies being car
riedacross the river into the Turkish camp
on the left bank, they quietly awaited
events. The provisions Of the Turkish
force, thus completely isolated, unable
to retreat because of the fiotilla which
effectually prevented any bridge being
thrown across the river, soon began to
run short. The weather became cold,
but there was no fuel with which to kin
die fires. Under these circumstances the
sufferings of the men were very great.
For some time there was hOrse-fesh, but
it had to be eaten raw, as even the tent
poles had been cut up and burned. Hun
dreds died daily, and their comrades had
not strength to bury them. Disease was
consequently soon aided to famine, 80
that when finally, on the 9Th of Decem-
Der, peace was concluded, but 4, 900 men,
who are described as being but living
skeletons, with scarce sufficient strength
to stand upright, were left of the 10000
who three months before had crossed the
river.
