The Song of the Camps.
BY BAYARD TAYLOR

'Give us a song!" the soldiers cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
While the heated guns of the camps
allied
Grew weary of bombarding.
Give us a song ~ the guardmen say,
1--WE storm the fort tomorrow
Sing while we may, another day
VIII bring enough of sorrow"
They lay along the batteries side,
Below the slum bering canon,
Brave hearts from Severn an from
Clyde,
And from the banks of Shannon.
They sang Of love and not Of fame,
Forgot was Britain's glory
Each heart recalled a different name,
But all sang Annie Laurie"
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender passion
Swelled like an anthem rich and strong
Their battle ewes confession.
Dear Girl! Her name he dared not
speak,
But as the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldiers cheek
Washed off the stain of powder.
M1
And oNasAgain fire of hell
Rained on the Russian quarters.
Midst scream of shot and burst of shell
And below ing Of the mOrtars.
And Irish Nora's eyes are dim
For a singer dumb and CORY,
And English Mary mourned for him
Who sang Of Annie Laurie"
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunsets embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
All soldiers to your honored rest,
Your truth and valor bearing;
The brSyest are the tenderest,
The loving are the daring.

TELL NE, DARLING.

Tell me, darling, that you miss me,
When the evening shadows fall,
Where the spicndor of the autumn
Sheds its sweetness over all.
When the purple light is fading
From the western sky away,
And the lamps Of Heaven are lighted
At the closing OF the day.
Tell me darling, You are waiting,
For the coming Of my feet.
That when absent, life is dreary,
And its dreaming incomplete.
That no lingering voice, Of summer,
Nor the autumn's crimson blOOmS
Can awake chord Of pleasure,
Nor your heart to love attuIfe.
o, We mighty winds bear message
Ger the proudly rolling sea,
Words Of love as yet unspoken,
Kindly whisper them TO me.
Tell me that my queen is waiting,
OF tie faireSt the most fair.
When the autumn tiIits ars fading,
She is waiting for me there.

expressed doubts whether Euclid could be
mastered in six months, and whether the same
period was sufficient to dispose of other sub
Jects, it was admitted that it was too short a
instruction; and as an instrument of mental
discipline, that farrago of multifarious, and he
