WILD CAMELs IN Utterly
wild camels may be seen on the deserts at
the head of the Gulf of California, where
they find a congenial home and multiply
steadily. They are a remnant of herd
which many years ago was imported by the
government to act as beasts of burden for
the army in New Mexico and Arizona.
They served the purpose well, it is said,
but were laid off through the demands of
the drivers of pack trains of mules and
donkeys, whose beasts where frightened
into stampeding by the sight and smell of
the foreign strangers. The camels were
subsequently used by miners in carrying
ore, etc., in California and Arizona; but
few years ago they were turned loose on
the banks of the Rio Colorado, where they
are fast becoming naturalized.

Now night has dropped her sable wings
And darkness to the soldier brings
The needed rest. The moon
Is bright above, the stars pursue
Their course serene in azure blue,
ON that last night Of June.
II.
And the pale moon her silyery rays
Is spreading through misty haze
Like spangled, crystal dew
II seems token-circling round
The queen of night wreath is found
of red, and white and blue;
III.
For in the three succeeding days L.
OF hard- fought, furious, desperate trays,
When brave contends with brave,
The fate of war decides anew
That still the red, and white and blue
Victorious shall wave.

Beneath the oak-tree and the pine,
Whose lesfy branches intertwine,
The troops a shelter find
The sod, the weary soldiers bed
rock, a pillow for his head,
As sinks to rest his mind.

. Sleep. soldier, take thy quiet rest,
Nor be thy sleep tonight oppressed
By dreams of carnage dire,
No, let thy vision wander far
From battle, blood and lannon's jar,
And powder. smoke, and fire,
VI.
And, in imaginations fight,
Dream ola quiet home o-night,
Far, far from scenes of war;
And thou in dreams again mayst hear
A fathers pleasant words of cheer,
Or aged mothers prayer.
VII.
Instead of farming for the strife,
Dost clasp again q faithful wife,
Or children pressing near?
And does the lover dream away
Those fleeing hours till dawn of day,
With one his thoughts hold dear?
VIII.
Yes, peaceful slumber, happy dreams
May well be thine ere morning beams
Shall wake thee from thy rest.
Thy dreams tonight may be thy last,
And ere another day is past
Death still thy heaving breast.

So pass the hours until the dawn
Its colors in the East has drawn
Ofvaried changing hue;
And in the early morning hour,
On tree, and shrub, on bush and flower,
sparkled the drops of dew.
Y.
Now rouse thee, soldier, and prepare
To-day hero's part to share;
To armsl and dauntless stand,
Amid the battles widest din,
A triumph be it thine to win
For home and native land
