[Bu E. C. Stedman.l

So that soldiery legend is still on its journey
That story of Kearney who knew not to yieldI
Twas the day when with jameson, fierce Berry
Against twenty thousand he rallied the field,
Where the red volfeys poured, where the clamor
rose highest,
Where the dead lay in clumps through the dwarf
oak and pine,
Where the aim from the thicket was surest and
highest
No charge like Phil Kearneye along the whole
line.
When the battle went i'll and the bravest were
Near the dark Seven Pines, where still held
ground
He rode down the length of the whitening column
And his heart at our war cry ieaped up at
bound.
He snuffed like his charger, the wind OF the pow
der;
His sword waved us on and we answered the
sign.
Loud our cheer as we rushed, but his laugh rang
There's the devils own fun, boys, along the
whole line!H
How he strobe his brown steed how we saw his
blade brighten
In the one hand still left, and the rens in his
teeth,
He laughed like boy when the holidays heghten,
But soldiers glance shot from his visor be-
meath.
Up came the reserves to the valley informal,
Asking where to go in, through the clearing or
"oh, anywhere. Forward! IT'S all the same,
Colonel
You'll find lovely fighting along the whole
line! y
Oh coil the black shroud of night at Chantilly
That hid him from sight of his brave men and
tried.
Foul foul sped the bullet that clipped the white
lily,
The flower of our knighthood, the whole army's
pride.
Yet we dream that he STILL in that shadowy re-
gion,
Where the dead form their ranks at the wan
drummer's sign,
Rides of old, down the length of the legion,
And the word still is Forward!p along the
whole line.

Londoners have become tired of grumbling
at Her Maiesty's studious avoidance OF her
capital; but her appearance in public will
probably decrease rather than increase. If the
Queen lives until May She viii be sixty-hve
years of age, and when ladies get within meas
urable distance of three score and ten they pre-
fer qnet and retirement even 10 the delights of
ruling. The state of semi-retirement in which
Victoria has INDUCED for many years has
thrown much extra work upon the Prince of
Wales-work for which his extra allowance
from the Queen of 100000 per annum is en-
tirely inadequate. What the Prince has lost
peeuniarily, however, he has more than gained
in popularity. Twelve or fourteen years ago
he was from various causes. decidedly unpop-
uar. Now he is the most popular man in
England, and in spite of his German extrac-
ton, is even more popular i'll France than here.
