THE SONG OF THE CAMP.
a Crimean Incident.
BY BAYARD TAYLOR.


At the dinner given to Bayard Taylor the
subjoined poem was handed about by Mr.
PierrepOnt, who related that twenty two
years since he was so impressed with lts
merit that he had 1t printed at the ONCE ol
the Evening Post to giveto his friends;
"Give us a song" the soldiers cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
When the heated guns OF the camps allied
Grew weary of bombarding-
The dark Rsdan, i'm silent scoff,
Lay. grim and threatening, under;
And the tawney mound of the Malakoh
No longer belched its thunder.
There was a pause. The guardsman said:
I'VE storm the forts tomorrow;
Sing while me may, another day
Win bring enough OF sorrow"
There lay along the battery's side,
Below the smoking cannon
Brave hearts, from Severn and from clyde,
And from the banks of shannon.
They sang of love, and not of fame
Forgot was Britains glory;
Each heart recalled "a different name,
But all sang annie Laurie"
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender passion
Rose like an anthem, rich AMI strong
Their battle-eve confession.
Dear girl, her name he dared not speak,
Yet. as the song grew louder,
something upon the soldiers cneek
Washed of the stains OF powder.
BeyOnd the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunsets embeIs,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again a fire of hell
Rasned on the Russian quarters,
With scream of shot, ana burst of shell,
And believing of the mortars.
And Irish Nora's eyes are dim
For a singer, dumb and CORY;
And English Mary mOurns for him
Who sang of Annie Laurie"
All. soldiers! to your honored rest
Your truth and valOr bearing;
The bravest are the tendereSt-
The loving are the daring.

better example than the exceedingly yul-
gar one of calling public men nick-names

TACTICS OF THE CAMPAIGN.

1t was apparently the design of Gen.
Grout to impress the people of this dis
trict with the formidable character of his
support. Accordingly he had all but one
of the primaries in Orleans county called
at an early day, and his allies in Burling-
ton observed the same tactics within the
circle of their influence. But in Franklin
county, where the people think and act
for themselves, there has been no such
blind following, no such military precis-
ion of movement, and the same is true of
Grand Isle, Essex and Lamoille counties.
Consequently the caucus returns and
newspaper footings have shown Gen.
Grout to be constantly ahead, and efforts
have been made to obtain votes by crea-
ting the belief that he was going to win.
How far removed this management is
from the ''game of brag" we leave 1t to
others to determine, but the Free Press
has founded upon it an editorial appeal
and probably it was not without its effect
in the three towns in Chittenden county
which went for Gen. Grout Saturday
evening. But the gallant General has
reached the end of his chain. Franklin
Grand Isle and Lamoille are beginning tc
be heard from and the Barlow figures are
growing. Perhaps the Free Press will
remember that ''Brag is good dog, but
Holdfast is better. "-S. Adams Messenger

At a recent caucus one man, a good
man and deacon of a church, had much
to say about Barlow's character. When
asked what he actually knew, he adj
mitted total ignorance but he had an
impression. Now if that same Dea.
was a candidate for a county office he
could not carry Hyde Park because
stories have been reported here that
have made bad impression ON the
public mind and some people, so weak
is human nature and so ready are
many to believe such stories, really
believe him bad man. We do not
believe it. We are sorry the stories
are afoat. Doubtless now, some one
will say that the deacon has "bought'
us because we do not believe those
stories and abuse him because of them.

of the ease with which the public al
