POETRY.
THE SONG OF THE CAMP.
Mr *. Laylor’g later poetical work has
in a grave and high strain, and
readers who are familiar with it
leaaily recall the may not
fervor of his earliet
wmings. At the public banquet given
to Mr. 7 aylor at DelrnoDico, shortly be
fore ¬
his departure, ex-Minister Piorre
pont embodied in his speech a felicitous
reference to his acquaintance with Mr.
Taylor’s poetry. He had found P • stray
copy oi Mr, Taylor’s “Song of the Camp,”
winch he asked Mr. Bryant to reproduce.
This poem is as follows:
“Give a song!” the soldier cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
While the heated guns of ttia camp allied
Grew weary of bombarding.
Tlie dark Redan, in silent scoff,
Lay. grim and threatening, under;
And No the tawny mound of the MalakJff
longer belched its thunder.
There was pause. The guardsman said:
“We storm the forts to- morrow :
Sing while we may, another day
Will bring enough of sorrow.”
They lay along the battery’s side.
Below the smoking caanon j
Brave hearts, from Sere.a and frera Clyde
And from the hanks of Sh annon.
They sang of love and not of fame,
Forgot Wftfl Britian’g glory;
Each heart recalls a different namo.
But all saug “Annia Laurie.”
Voico after voice caugnt up the song,
Until its tender paision
Rose like an anthem, rich and strong,
Their battle-eve confession.
Dear girl, her name he dare not speak,
Butaa the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldier’s cheek
Washed off the stains of powder.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunset'% embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remember.
And onoa again a fire of hell
Rained on the Russian quarters,
With scream of shot and burst of shell,
And bellowing of the mortars !
And Irish Nora’s eyea are dim
For singer, dumb and gory ;
And English Mary mourns ior him
Who snug of -‘Annie Laurie.”
Sleep, soldiers ! still in honored rest
Your truth and valor wearing ;
The bravest are the tend ;i*est—
Th* loving are the daring.
—[New York Tribune.
A HAUNTED HOUSE IN NEW YORK
The Experience -Some Women Have ad
Ghost stories are alwajs in order, and
a haunted house in New York will be
regarded as a great novelty. The fol¬
lowing story was told m» by a w*!l
known sod mu eh talked about lady au¬
thor and lecturer. She is neither a fit¬
nafic nor a fool, and the last person in
the wovld to pee sights or dream dreams.
She had taken the upper floor of a house
in Fifteenth street, and furnished it her¬
self. In a few days she noticed that in
a certian pa;t of one of the rooms a
strange, unearthly chill pome over her.
It was so disagreeable that she shunned
the place. She also frequently bad a
very distinct feeling that some one was
coming up the stairs, and at first rose and
opened the door expecting to see a visi¬
tor, but found no one In the night,
between eleven and she was
ularly awakened , , f-om . sleep , though ,
as
one was standing by her bed, and
oftentimes as though a hand was on her
thror,t tryingto strangle her. She could
see no one, and the experience became
po disagreeable that she gave up her bed
to her woman—a very substantial, mat¬
ter of fact, courageous person—and took
to the lounge, where ahe slept without
difficulty. But the poor domestic had a
hard time of it. Sbe had experienced
the chill, and had opened the door bun^
dreds of times to the stronger coming np
the stairs; now she was choked every
night just as though some one was try¬
ing to strangle her.
One cf the lady’s friends visited her
experienced the chiil and also opened
the door to tho invisible visitor, and
without knowing what her occupants
had felt, declared that the place was
strange and depressing. A popular
newspaptw writer, a lady well known in
the social circles here, called one day and
told the occupant of the rooms, who had
left her aloue for a few miuutes, that
they were haunted, as she saw the form
of a person standing in the very place
where the unearthly chill had been felt
by several persons. Sickness obliged
the ladv to leave her apartments several
weeks in charge of her faithful woman.
When she returned she found tlfis wo
mm nervous and emanciato as though
she had been very ill and was still suffer¬
ing, In reply to her agited inquiries
the woimn told tier substantially the foi
lowing story ;
‘*[t was near midnight after you left
that I woke suddenly out of a sound
and there sat a woman in the rocking
chair by the fire, her back toward me,
with a full heal of dirk hair. 1 thought
it a piece of impertinence in any one
come up to my loom at that t ine
night, and w'Jicut knocking ; then I re
me inhered that I fastened the door. But
to be certain about it, 1 slipped out o'
the bed at the foot and tried the door,
which I found bolted. Then I got into
bed. The woman turned her face toward
the door in an anxious way, inclining
it as though listening to near some one
coming up the stairs, TUeu she rose as
though she was coming toward the bed.
I covered myself with the bed-clothes
am) stood it as long as I could iu that
way. When I looked out the room was
empty."
This Btrange visitor returned night af¬
ter night, and some of her doings the
domestic was unwilling to repeat. She
lost tourteen pounds of solid flesh by the
experience, and was only too g ! a i to es
cape out of the place. Some weeks after
the breaking, up. the lady, who was si*}*'
mg with a friend in New -Jersey, was
surprised to see her women coming up
the steps of her house in great glee oue
morning. “X have found out all about
it,’ she exclaimed ; “that house i» haun¬
ted.” And then she told of calling on a
dress maker to get work done, and inui
dentally mentioning where she had
lived.
“Did Miss ■occupy those upper
rooms t" she asked.
“Did you have no trouble there ?” she
inquired.
On being told that the place was ob¬
jectionable, she said. ‘U is strange no
one told Miss-that house is haunted.
I took a lease of it tor three years, but
was obliged to give it up at a loss
several hundred dollars, after a few
m nths. It was haunted, and I had
nothing but misfortune there. You
know a woman strangled her husband in
that upper chamber several years ago.
He had abused her in his drunken fits,
and she endured it until she became des¬
perate. On* night she waited for bis re¬
turn and choked him to death on the bed
And the poor creature’s spirit has haun¬
ted these rooms ever since. Miss
-visited the dressmaker and had a
full recital of her experiences i:i the
haunted bouse, and ascertained upon in
quiry that she is a highly respected and
trustworthy woman. And Miss-re¬
gards her former domestic, whom she
lias kown for years, as absolutaly truth¬
ful, and quite free from superstition and
nonsense*, an unusually plucky, sensible
woman. But you should hear Mias
—tell the story. It would be cuyous
to know how many haunted booses there
are within a mile of Union Square or
Mur r ray 11 ill.
A CALIFORNIA SAND-STORM
Day before yesterday afternoon the
out-going Yuma train left Los Angeles
on time. Every-thing went on as usutl
until it approached Cucamonga Station.
At this point a eaud storm of extraordina
ry violence was encountered. The train
was obliged to stop. Superintendent
Hewitt was at once communicated with
by telegraph, and a number of men were
dispatched from all quarters to clear the
trrek, but utterly without avail. The
train was delayed some fifteen hours.
When we state that the rails, for a dis¬
tance of three or four miles, were cover¬
ed with sand to depths ranging from one
to three feet, the force ot the wind may
be conjectured. ’J he simoon, or sirocco,
or whatever it may be called,came whist
ling through the Cajon Pass as though it
were discharged from a funnel. The in¬
coming Yuma train was delayed fur an
hour and a half through the storm.
Some svren years ago a whirlwind poar>
ed out cf the Cajon Pass, which took
substantially the same course as the wind
day before yesterday. The Hue of plain
traversed by it was about three miles
wide, but it fortunately stopped right at
the edge of ihe celebrated Cucamonga
vineyard. For much of-this width the
soil was shaved off as with a knife, being
carried resistlessly over the Cucamonga
plains. Sand was piled to a height of
several feet over the roof of the station
of the old stage company, making a to¬
tal sand,drift of over twenty feet high,
I he storm of the other day must have
been a twin brother of that.—[Los An¬

A FAST BOY.
Apnropos of an incident that recently
happened in the streets of this city, a
well known lailtoad man tells the folio*
mg romantic story, which, if the accounts
are to be relied on, occurred about the
same time:
A , y‘ . w smC8 vvllyn ll Kansas
’ > e
1 it-ific train was making lighmiug lima
across the plains in the direction of Den.
ver, the emigrant car was occupied by a
solitary woman and three low-headtd
children. In occasion,Tly passiu r through
the conductor had observed .hat the
passenger w is apparently very uueasv,
aud frequently inq fired how long it
w mid be before they reached iheiv des¬
tination; but he gave th© mutter little
attention, naturally supposing it was
merely tbn ontg cvnh ot female impa¬
tience. \VRat was hit surprise then,
when, on going back into the sar a few
hour* afterwards, to have bis ears assailed
by the loud shrieks of a newborn infant,
and to see the mother evidently tqnal to
the situ ition, and giving to this addition
to her family tm? attention which the
circuit)stance* required.
*W by, great heavens f exclaimed
the conductor, ‘what * the matter here?
‘Notnmg at all—-the matter's all over,’
replied the woman, a wintry smile play¬
ing round her pals lips.
‘You don t mean to tell me that child
has jn*t beeu bom ?’
‘A ell. no; not exactly It’s something
hke an hour o.d, and the tiappy mother
dextrous!y iuvetted it iu a bit of ragged
calico, which she had beeu smoothing
out for the purpose.
‘But don't you need some help—some
attention—the presence of some female?
stammered tb* bewildered otScial. ‘I
never heard of aiiythtug lit® Uti* before.’
‘Oh, no, it’s all right now, I’m getting
along splendidly.’
The conductor beat a hasty retreat,
and, having fished up an old woman in
some other part of the train, sent her in
to attend to bis seif-reliant passenger.
An hoar or two afterward he gave her
another call, and found the lady serene
and happy.
‘flow's that youngster getting along?’
he asked.
‘Firstrate,’ replied the smiling mother,
‘I say, conductor, tins isr&thera fust boy>
ain't he V
‘I should 8,ty he was—he came into
the world at the rate of twenty miles au
hour.’
Tin going to make a railroad man of
him.’
‘It's a good idea.’
The conductor looked a little embar¬
rassed for a tuomeut, and then felt uerv
ous'y in his po.iket and produced a $1D
bill.
‘Madam, just take that and buy this
boy r.n outfit, and when he gets big
enou gh dispatch him by express to my
traiu. I’ll m ike a railroad man ot him it
there’s anything in birtu,’ and, witu bis
politest bow, the conductor took hi*
leave. In a few minutes the train reach¬
ed its destination, and the woman, with
her baby, disappeared iu the th ebbing
life aud bustle of the city j—Denve
(Col.) News.
JUVENILE INGRATITUDE.
A woman gets on the train and says a
very warm-hearted goodbye to a great
cub ot a sixleen^year^old boy who yets
down her bundles aud turns to ierve the
car with a gruff grant that may mean
good-bye or anything else. There is a
little quiver on her lip as she calls after
him, ‘Be a good boy. write tome often,
aud do as I tell you.’ He never looks
around as he leaves theoar. He looks just
like the kind of a boy tjrlio will do just
as she Veils him, but she must be careful
to tell him to do just as he wants to.
I have one bright npark of consolation
as the train m ves on and I see that boy
perform a clumsy satire on a olog dance
on the platform. Some of these days he
will trmt some man as gruffly and rudely
as he treats his mother. Then the man
will climb onto him and lick him, pound
the very sawdust out of him. Then the
world will feel better and happier for the
licking he gets. It may be long deferred
but it will come at last, I almost wish I
had pounded him myself, while he is
young and I fe!t able to do it. He may
grow up a very discour agingly rugged
man, extremely difficult to lick, and the
world may have to wait a very long time
for this act of justice. It f requentiy hap¬
pens that these bad boys grow up into
distressingly ‘bad’ men.—[Burdette

THE NECESITY OF PLENTY OF SLEEP.
A Writer in Scribner for F«bruafy>
considering. 'The Relations of Insanity
to Modern Civil’s ition,’ speaks ot the loss
ol sleep as a prominent cause of insanity.
He says :
During every moment of consciods
ness the brain is in activity. The peon
liar process ot cerebration, whateveY
that may consist of, is taking place ?
thought after thought comes f. rth, nof
can vre help it. It ig only when the pe¬
culiar connection or chain of connection'
ot one brain cell with another is brokeff 1
and consciousness fades away into the
dreamless land of perfeot sleep, that the
brain is it reat. In this state it recuptf
ates its exhausted energy and power, and*
stores th jrn up to future nead. The pe¬
riod ot wakefulness ia one of consent
wear. Every thought is generated at
the expense of brain cells, which can be
fully replaced only by periods of proper¬
ly regulated repose. If, therefore, these
are not secured by deep, it the brain,
through over stimulation, is not left to*
recuperate, Ls energy becomes
led ; debility, disease and finally disitp—
tegration supervene. Hence, tho story
is almost always the same y for
weeks and month before the indications
of active insanity appear; the patient
has been anxious, worried and wakefuL
not sleeping more than four or five hours
out of the twenty four. The poor brain,
unable to do its constant work, begins fo
waver, to show signs of weakness orab
eration ; hallucinations or delusions hov
ar around like floating shadows in the
air, untii finally disease comes and
Against “plants his seiga
the mini, the which he pricks' Sind
wounds
With manj legions of strange fantasies.
Which in their throng and press to that lwt
hold
Confound themselves.’*
A horrible murder was committed at
Bell’s Bend, on the Cumberland river,
twelve miles from N tshville, Tuesday
night. The crime was not discovered
UIltil several days after, w hen the corpses
of John YVliiitentnoyer and wife were
found side by side in bed. They had
been terribly beaten and disfigured by a
billet of wool. Between the dead
bodies were found an infant and a child
about two years old, who were crowing
and playing, witless of their tragical sur¬
roundings, A negro named Knox Mar¬
tin is suspected of having committed the
murder. He had had a misunderstand¬
ing with Whittenmeyer about pay for a
day’s work. He is still at lar^e.
