Battle Songs.

! Generally speaking, the soldiers song is
q much different one, both an tune and
( words, to the national hymn that i uttered
forth from the brdZen trumpetS for his SOW
erei5n'S benefit ON a review day Probably
/ the only good national hymn which -
/ also the popular war song is the famous
| "Mar5eileS," and this IS certainly the most
/ glorious battle song ever composed
/ The British national anthem, God Save
/ the Queen" and even the more popular
Rule Britannia" have never been much
used by the British troops IN the wars,
says the scottish American- The former,
in fact, is never heard being sung by Bri-
! fish soldiers on the battlefield. Much more
popular is the favorite known as THE
! British Grenadiers,' which was yelled
I forth from hundreds OF throdtS rs that
great regiment rushed at the foe on the
! plains of WaterI~O, and, in later days, IN
| the Crimea.
Probably the most popular of British
army songs, and one which has been
sung and whistled times without number
in the face of the enemy IL the de;u
old Girl | Left Behind Me" This Is
Tonmy's special favorite for those occa-s
sions when it is death or glory" as well5
as for when ne is transferred 10 anotherE
town. At the storming OF Lucknow, In tho
Indian mutiny, the gallant HighlandeIs
advanced on the myrlads oil savage native
troops to the accompaniment OF thousands
of voices shouting forth amid the Wild
sIlirI of the bagpipes' strains, The Camp
bells Are Coming.
On the night before the battle OF Aou
klee, one who was among the lrish sol
diers of the regiments then waiting Tor the
fight tells how he was cheered and en-
couraged by the singing by his comrades OF
Erin's noblest strain, The Minstrel Boy,
and the enemy of Great Britain has always
reason to remember when the BcTeSiordS,
the Wellingtons and the WOlSeleys "ther
fathers swords have giTded Onp'
The Royal Welsh FusilieTs march to bat
tie to the strains Of ''Nen OF Harlech, and
the noble record of this regiment would
seem to show that Wales need have no
fear of her great reputation for bravery in
war vet whitening while she can send FORTH
such men as the FusilierS and tine South
Wales BOrdererS.
In the American civil war a tavOrIte
song OF the troops was not the national
''Hail Columbia" but the much more thrll-
ling ".Iohn Browns Body Lies Molderlng
in the Grave" the tune and words OF V ilich
were most appropriate for that occasion,
as they have been for many since, where
the hero has died. but the cause Tor which
he fought and bIed has still gone march
ing on"
The German army, too, did not sing, our
ing the Franco German war, their Hymn
to the Kaiser" The inspiriting watch by
the Rhine" was the soldiers song.

Of all orders contemplating the passage OF
troops through any part of Maryland.
On returning TO the cars, the Mayor
received dispatch from Railroad Presi-
dent Garrett, announcing the approach
OF troops QPennsylvanians) by railroad
from Harrisburg to CockeysvilIe, few
miles north of Baltimore, and that the
city was greatly excited thereby; where
upon, Messrs. Brown q Go. returned to
the President, and demanded further
audience, which was granted.
The dispatch was submitted; and
the President and Gen. Scott agreed
that the Pennsylvania soldiers, who had
thus unwlttingly proianed the soil of
Maryland by daring to advance over it
to the defense of the National Metrop-
oils, should be turned back to Harris
burg.
There is not much more of this
nature to be recorded; but, among the
Baltimoreans who, next day, visited
Washington to second the demands of
Messrs Brown d Co. and confirm the
impression which it was hoped they had
made was Committee from the Young
Mems christian Association, who mod
estly petitioned that the President
should put an end to the unnatural con-
fict now imminent by yielding to the
Demands of the South. To this end,
they advised that the Federal forces
already in Washington should be dis
banded but, at all events, that no more
should be marched across the territory
of Maryland.
The President, in reply, called their
attention to the fact that the Capital was
imminently threatened that he was in

erected on the Virginia bank of the Pc,

perhaps months of misery. The fol-
lowing which coming from Battle Creek

Guiteaux, Veterinary Surgeon of that
city, a well-known man there, as well
as in Kalamazoo and Marshall, speaks
of his experience with the little con-
queror and the result of n few timely
words of advice. He says:
II was standing in Ambcrg & Muir

day when friend of mine came in and
asked for box of kidney pills After
he had made his purchase l said quietly
to him, You have made a mistake in
buying those His reply was, How is
that?' l said Doan's Kidney Pills are
worth all the others put together. As
he wanted my reasons for thinking 50
l told him that my kidneys had both
cred me for years that l suffered from
backache until L could scarcely stand
it, that had nearly every symptom to
be found where the kidneys are af-
fected, that l had used remedy after
remedy including box after box of the
one he just purchased, and that until
used Doan's Kidney Pills i might have
taken as many spoonfuls of water, in
fact, think some of them hurt me. A
couple of weeks after this l met him on
the street, when he said: Doc, Doan's
Kidney Pills are just as you repre-
scented. After using the box about which
we had n conversation in Amberg &

with the sprays of mignonette. If that
was the result of a few kind words,
she said to herself that she would
often say them. Sir Raoul saw her
smiling and blushing, with glad light
in her eyes.
We'll" he said, "what success, Hill
dred?"
"The best in the world" she replied;
dinner time when she saw that Lord
CaraveiI wore some of the mignonette
in his buttonhole.
Lord Caraven was fond of music; he
had rich, ringing tenor voice which,
as rule, he was too INDECENT to use.
He would troll out verse Of a love
ditty, or the chorus Of drinking-song
in fashion that made one long to
hear the rest. In the evening Sir
Raoul asked him to sing.
'It is too much trouble" said the
handsome earl "Why should 1 exert
myself to sing when other people can
do it so much better for me?"
THAT is an idle excuse" returned
Sir Raoul. Lady Caraven, persuade
your husband to sing; he has voice
almost as rich and clear as Mario's,
but he will never use it."
She came over to him. He looked at
his beautiful young wife in all the
simmer of satin and CLEAN of pearls;

face.
"Do sing, Lord Caraven," she said.
"You owe me something for my flow
ers this morning"

"Then you shall be obeyed. VIII
