THE SONG OF Th.i.
A CRIMRAN IKriDKKT I T CATARD , .
"Give tig a Song !" the oIdirrs cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
When the heated guns of the, cam pi allied
Grew weary of bombarding.
The dark Redan, in silent scoff,
Lay, grim ami threatening, under ;
Ami thu tawny mound of rho Ma ku(f
No longer belched iU thunder.
Them was pause. The guardsman aaid :
"Wo Htorni tho forts lo-ntorrnw ;
Sing while wo may, another ij
Will bring enough of Gorrovv."
They lay along the battery's Mile,
Helow the smoking cannon
Brave hearts, from Severn nnd from Clyde.
And Irom the buults of Shatiliou.
They sang of luve, and not of fame j
Forgot was liritain's glory
Each heart recalled u different name,
liut nil sang "Annie Laurie."
Voice lifter voice caught tip the song.
Until its tender passion
l'oe like an untlieni, rich and strong
Their battle-eve confession.
Dear girl, her name lie dared not speak,
Yet, as the Hong grew louder,
Something upon thu soldier's cheek
Washed oil' the stains of ponder.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody gunset a embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again a fire of hell
Ruined on the Russian quarters.
With scream of shot, and burst of shell
Aud bellowing of the mortars.
And Irish Nora's eves arc dim
For a singer dumb und glory j
And Engliah Mary inuiuns for him
Who sung of ''Annie Lun.de."
Ah, soldiers ! to your honored rest
Your truth und valor bearing ;
The bravest are the tuu'erest
Tho loving are tho during.

THE FIRST BRIDAL VISIT.
FART FIRST.
Those bells! how often I seem again to
hear that merry marriage peul my wedding
bells? As 1 (Jrcuin iu my chair, und hear at
tnlervuls my husband's tume tVom the opjio
site side uf the lire-pluce, thu curlew rumbling
down the chimney change by tuuie gt ntlo
modulation into the echo of a merry chime.
Ah, well! wo will tlruw no cotitraHs ; I was
u weo Lille creature oa that May-day lb' ,
hardly out uf thu school-room, somehow 1
hud hibernated a ttuid man, (oh, n'imovle !
we will puss over his age,) 1 was mightily
uliaid ul him. in Mite ol his licltiug und pres

he hud loved tlie better thull all thu woild. 1
ceituinly hud uever fallen iu love with anybo
dy, unless, it was wilh the haudsome doctor
who hud set up 111 lue village, anu u.eu 10
ogle ujb in church. Hut 1 had uever spoken,
to him. My father was tiot rich, und 1 hud
lots ol sisters. 1 never had uiuity dresses be
fore, 1 uni sure 1 grew an inch ulier writing
all the orders to luUlineis uud inanttiu-tnakeis.
Hut they are tiresome people. Coiitiu A lick,
who was ill at our house ul the lime, ui.ed to
bluiul pulietilly utid let us hung the gowns
ami scuil's upou lain. Ah, poor cousin A lick !
But that Irutunau guvu tuu uiuuy lieui laches.
1 heard the sage people suy that 1 wus grow
ing pule uud 1. in ii lor love. 1 knew iu my
oii heart that 1 w as fi el ting because 1 could
not have a llouiton Uco dress to be marr.eu
iu, hUe ilarm forester. And t.no of my
bonnets wus very utibeooming. Well, then
came sellleiiiehls uud stoning, und 1 read tho
scene iu the liride of Lummtrmoor, that 1
might be perfect iti my part. 1 thought cou
sin Alick coughed more, and looked paler
that ii'ght. 1 forgot his looks, though, v. hen,
on running up stuns, 1 found ou my bed, oh!
the sweetest llonitoli lace dress aud veil, Slid
such u jewel-box, glittering with necklaces!
1 Hew tlottu uguiu uud kissed Major Laurie
tou before them all. Tho li rt l.uie I had
ever kissed Aim.' What, a beautiful May
morning it was, uud how well my dress lott
ed ! There stood the barouche uud the four
greys at the door. Why did 1 cry so iti
church? I urn sure I do not know ; lor 1 was
not thinking of a word old Mr. Uurtoti read
out of the prayer-book. Perhaps it was be.
cause 1 saw my mother's eyes were wet, Und
1 caught u tone ol my cousiu Aliek's voice in
the responses. 1 never heard his voice sound
liku that before. Wo signed our names in
the vestry, and then every one fell a-kissing,
and iu thu hurry 1 kissed cousiu Alick, und
h - wus so deadly cold. Hut Major L.uiiiiton
ii ted mo into the carriage, uud culled me his
little wile. Thu Vil.agers shouted, and some
children threw Hotter into my lap, and wo
dashed up to tho lodge gate. As wu drove
down the avenue the head of thu barouche
struck against a laburnum iu full blossom.
V slower ol' drops blinded me, and a long
rytiu of yellow Bower tell oil my ba.ee
1 nev
cr pass thut tree now without recollecting its
ominous welcome. 1 thought the old ser
vants would have shuketl my bunds oil. It
seemed to me a line thing to bo married, and
so 1 told li y bridesmaids wheu they drew lots
lor my gloves ; and everybody laughed at inc.
At lust we set oil', and i looked buck again

forlorn, and Major Luuriston, sitting in the
corner of the barouche looked as formidable

The journey to Bepcesley tired me wofully.
I wng not used to travelling tny husband
w.is. Ho would ask me if we should stop on
the to . d. but I saw that he expicted inn to
say "no." I grew heartily sick of that yellow
barouche. At lust we arrived at Bcccisloy.
It was about five o'clock the house smelt of
dinner. There was Mrs. Bannister in the
hall, and two Misses Bannisters peeping over
the stairs. My sister-in-luw was a cold, prim
looking, small woman, like my husband in the
face. I felt glad of that ; but for the likeness
I might have taken her for the housekeeper.
The bare four of such a ennfre temps made me
shiver. The drawing-room was smartly ar
ranged. Alas ! I caught a glimpse of a long
table covered with knives and forks in the
dining-room. I guessed tny fate. Mr. Ban
nister confirmed it. They had invited a par
ty to dinner. I could have cried. I felt so
jaded, my head ached. Every nervf twitched.
Oh, for one of my mothers early cups t t tea!
liut 1 was hurried up sUirs, and told that
dinner would be on tho table punctually at
six, and they waited lor uo one. My sisler-in-luw
had u dry, measured way of speaking.
I had been used to warmth und heartiness. 1
fancied she looked disuppiovinply ut bur bro
ther's yoang bride, aud my heart sank within
me. Lliis was turfing out all tny smart
things. The tears rushed to my eyes, for I
thought of the last time 1 rind ewn them.
However, Kills looked so stiff und starch. 1
dared not have a good cry, us 1 longed ; and
Lnuriston put bis bead in at thu door to bid
mo be quick, and be sure to be ready in time.
I trembled every time I heard him stalk up
und down his dressing-room. I expected
him to coino in for me every moment. Kills
was cross, and said if I did not sit still she
could not do nn hair. Oh, horror of horrors !
my dress would not meet. That vexatious
miintua-muker had sent it so late that there
had been no time to try it on, und 1 forgot it
while Hitting from place to place. In vain
Lilis tugged. 1 heard a great split.
' I can't go down to dinner," suid 1. in the
hardihood of despair, us my tall husband
came in drawing ou u white gloue.
Tor a moment ho looked ungrv. 1 guess
he saw I was in no state to be fussed, so he
told 101 1 is in a calm way to get out another
dress, unit to be less clumsy minlher time.
h.llis sulkily answered, it wub no i.mlt ol hers
if M rs. Lauriston grew out of her gowns, and
hu muttered some jeason lor it, winch ininle
me quite mad with her. It hud this good
fleet, huwe.ver, that Luunston was very in
dulgent, nnd J felt so grateful that I made
uo objection to the white muslin aud pink
ibands which l'.IIis fl.-liej up Irom the depths
of tho imperial, though it was the least band
some dress 1 bad, and I rather wished tny
brat atipetti'unco in tny liusohnd's family to
lie good. Lauriston clasped my brucelct
himself, and, wonderful to relate, paid me a
compliment, when I was dressed at lust.

appealed to the conductor, and produced the

that it woman wus entitled to her husband.

becumo exceedingly ludicrous. The man (le

and she persisted in retaining bun. 1 he tears
and entreaties of the wife were too much for
the sympathetic conductor: he nulled the
check string, stopped the train, ejected the

forms and long laives. At a short disiance,
at the foot of the plain, a small column of in
fantry aad cavalry was ranged in order of
battle. On our side, a detalcluiieiit of the
Zouaves, in limi array, was. placed near the
tent around which eeiitiuels were posted. A
la'ge number of ofiicers of all divisions of the
four armies had arrived in the plain of the
Tchernaya, and literally covered both bunks,
every one in his epaulets and wilh sabre tt his
side. There was a real fraternisation between
tho two sides, and we again witnessed an ex
pressioti of those sympathies which we have
so often remarked between tho French and
Russians. Several of!icers recognized one
another, having met before iu the armistice
which occurred during the siege. So gourds
and bottles began to fly from one bunk to
another, as bullets used to iiy a little while
ago. More than one fell into thu water, but
the greater part leached their destination
safely.
"A brilliant young Russian officer, with his
left arm in u sling, was followed by two sol
diers canying a heavy bushel. 'Where are
the Zouave officers, gentlemen ?' demanded
he. "This way,' utiiiuuuced several ofiicers of
the corps. 'It is to one of you,' wu3 the re
ply, 'that I owe uiy wound ; yourvery good
health !' and with his well arm hu hurled, one
ufter another, three bottles of champagne,
which were emptied in u twinkling. Thu
Zouave", in I urn, sent back several bottles.
Two of them were hroheii on the way, 'Keep
the corks,' was the cry ; -wu will change them
at Paris!' At Paris!' exclaimed the Russian
officers, amid immense nprluiise. The cham
pagne was choice. The Russuins sustain
their reputation lor good taste. I have three
of the aforesaid corks ; two of them bear the
brand Ve Cliquot, one that of I.elegard Sr
Co., and all three the name of the city of
Rheims. We interchanged our mimes, nnd
among our foes was a nephew of General Lu

by degrees, by tho Cunrobert redoubt, till it

was raised, caps were waived and immense
hurrahs flew Irom one bunk to another: Jl
was really a moving and cxcilirg spectacle.
"Add to all this that several Knglish ladies
caracoled to the end of the bridge, where
their presence was hailed with cheers and all
other demonstrations. Some words were ut
tered by the charming troopers They were
not perhaps those of civility or good taste;
they were perhaps those of badly expressed
gallantry; but they were piun.iut. All

"What oftiik Corn-Cob ? Dr. Charles T.

of gum, Bturch und dixtrine. Prom this it
appears that it is of scarcely mora value to

Butter Its Imprgpper Use.
There is a conventional propriety in all tho
habits of life and domestic economy, and a
general rule aud understanding, even iu the)
details of the material uud period of each
meal of the day, thu result ot long experi
ence. No housekeeper of any pretensions to con
sistency or geutility, would ever think of hav
ing roasf goose, or boiled pot luck far break
fast or tea, toast and preserves, for dinner.
It is not a gross departure from propriety
and good housekeeping, and pandering to a
depraved taste ; lo put butter un the dinner
table with fat, roabt, or boiled meats, swim
ming iu luscious gravies ? Many persons un
consciously without thought cf the impropri
ety while euliug the lulled kind of beef or
pork, use butter on their bread, and thut not
sparingly ; spread ou as if with a plasterer's
trowel. It is un absurdity that no thought
ful persou will justify, aud a habit that ought
to be corrected. Thu English, who aro
thought to bu high authority on tlie philoso
phy of feedidg, having a saying, that "Butter
should never appear on the dinner table, und
cheese at no other tims," which I hold as au
ubsolute law.
The indiscriminate use of bolter is a habit
that should bu exploded, for if no ill effects
arj incurred, it is a most "wasteiul aud ridic

How to Cook Hams. The Southern Far
mer gives the lolloping leccipo for cooking a
bam, und ue can testify to its excellence ;
An excellent maimer of cooking a bam is
the following ; Broil it thruu or four hours
uccoiding to the size, then skiu the whoK) end
til it tor the table ; then set il in an oveu for
half an hour, cover it thickly with pounded
ru-k or biead crumbs, aud set it back for
half an hour longer. Boiled ham is always
improved by selling it into an oveu for near
au hour, until much of thu fat dries oat, and
it also makes it more touder. ( ,f- ' .
