The Song of the Camp.
BY BAYARD TAYLOR.
This poem is founded on a well known in
cident of the Crimean war.
"Give us a song!" tho soldiers cricd,
Tho outer trenches guarding,
When tho heated guns of the camp allio<
Grew weary of bombarding.
The dark Redan, in silent scoff,
Lay grim and threatening under;
And the tawny mouth of tho Malakoff
No longer belched its thunder.
There was a pauso. The Guardsmen said
"We storm tho fort to-morrow ;
Sing while we may, another day
Will bring enough of sorrow."
[ They lay along tho battery's side,
Below the smoking cannon?
Brave hearts from Severn and from Cl}"di
And from tho banks of Shannon.
They sang of love and not of fameForgot
was Britain's glory
Each heart recalled a different name,
But all sung "Annio Laurie,"
f Voice after voice caught up tho song,
| Until its tender passion
Rose liko an anthem rich and strong?
Their battle eve confession.
Dear girl; her name ho dared not speak
, Yet, as tho song grew loudor,
Something uoon tho soldier's cheek
Washed oil' tho stains of powder.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
Tho bloody sunsot's embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And ojicc again tho firo of hell
Rained on tho Russian quarters,
With stream of shot and burst of shell
And bellowing of the mortars.
An Irish Nora's eyes are dim,
For a singer dumb and gory ;
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang of '"Annie Laurio."
Ah 1 soldiers to your honored rest,
Your truth and honor bearing;
The bravest are the tendcrest?
The loving are the daring!
wa: it a warning?.
It happened a matter of fifteen yean
ago, in 185?. I was an engineer on the
. V. C. railroad, and running the "AmosI
keag," on the night line from N. to St. A.
It was a good ten hours' trip, leaving N. al
seven P. M., and erettinir into St. A. at five
A." M., or just about daybreak. Brooks
Vane was fireman. A young1 fellow, only
about two years married to as sweet a little
woman as you'll very often see. They had
one child?a baby, three months old. Mrs,
Vanohad been delicate and feeble ever since
its birth, and just at this: time was confined to
her bed, with a sort of *low fever. Brook*,
as was natural, fretted a good deal aboul
her, and laid off a day or two as often as
he could find a substitute.
The 25ih day cf September?I can never
forget that date?between three and fotu'
o'clock in the morning, we were running
on a down grade about forty miles from
St. A., when I noticed, some fifty rods in
front of us, what looked like a fire built
exactly on the track, straight ahead.
Brooks saw it as plainly as I did. We
were not running at full speed, so to re
verse the engine and stop the train was
not an affair of many minutes. Brooks
, and I jumped out together, and went
round in front of the engine, whore we
found?nothing.
The fire, which I saw a.J plainly as ever
I saw anything in my life, and which
Brooks saw, too, had disappeared utterly
and entirely. We went up the track half a
mile or more, but found no vestige of anything
to denote that any lire had been buill
upon the track, or anywhere near.
Brooks turned to me, with a white
face.
My God, sir, what was it 1"
"1 wish I knew," I said. "Fifteen minutes
ago I would have taken my oath there
was a fire, built by some stupid idiot or
designing villain, on the track. Now?I
can't understand it."
"Nor I?nor I," said Brooks, slowly;
?you don't suppose, sir "
He stopped, confusedly.
"Suppose what V I said, as we stepped
on board the "Amoskeag" again.
"I nat 118 a warning, or ouieu uj. uunytui
sir "
This more firmly spoken.
"Pshaw!"
But, for all my affectation of contempt,
I was puzzled and <r<nifoinided. Vet I
tried to convince mys-lf that it was merely
an optical delusion, and nothing more. But
my success was doubtful.
The next morning I could see that
Brooks was growing nervous and anxious.
I, too, was not withoi i a little flutter of excitement
at my hen t, though I should
hardly have cared to own it. It is,
perhaps, needless to .state that this night's
experience corresponded in every particular
to that of the one preceding. The same
seeming fire blazed and glittered on the
track in front of us. The train was stopped
again. Again we searched around and
upon the track for a long way ahead; again
we found simply nothing !
I don't deny that the repetition of this
mysterious occurrence impressed me with a
etange feeling of commingled dread and
terror. And Brooks?the man's set white
face fairly frightened me. There was little
conversation pushed between us that
night. 1 think we both felt bo deeply for
epeech.
The third night, Brooks Vane and I
stepped on board the ' Amoskeag'* with
j much the same fee-lings, I think, as men
j who go knowingly to their own death. As
! we passed out of the station at B. within a
| mile or two of the fatal place, Brooks turned
j to me.
"Mr. Deane?" he stopped.
"Go on."
"It may seein foolish to yoa, but I think
something will happen to the train to-night,
If I shouhl be kii!e<l?"
"Pshaw! liiookr, don't got such ideas
in<o your head. I?"
"I know all you would say, Mr. Deano,
but I'd rather you'd hear v. hat I've got to
say."
"Well, I am listening."
"I want, if you survive mo, that
you should promise to lend my wife a help,
j ing hand if she shouhl need one. Her folks
! ave well-off, and will bo good to her, I
j think; but they are out in Kansas, and it
t 11 V?a nPAlftr litiml 1nir*<S Kal* *J f
; nm mo j.iv.ijr ....... ~..o
j before she can Ito.if from them, and she'll
need friends, j our girl." He stopped
brushing his hand ac'fftss his eyes.
"If she ever n?ods help," I said, im
pressed, in sj ite of myself, by his earnest
ness, and sharing- besidt; much of hid up
preheusion, wil>* ar.u I will stand 1>j
' \
ner. fc'lie shan't want for a friend while we
live. But don't get 'blue,' Broohs. All
this may amount to nothing," trying
. to speak cheerfully, but with partial aucceM
only.
He shook Ilk fce'.d moodily, but did not
epeak. We neared the mysterious place.
^ j I turned my eye^s for ono moment from the
! road in front to attend to some Blight duty.
I looked back just in time to catch one
glimpse of a light?not the seeming fire
for which we watched?but the headlight
of a coming train ! The next instant a ter'
rible shock?a deafening crush?and I
knew no more.
I recovered my senses to find myself lying
on a bed, in a low-ceiled room of a
farm house, standing not far from the
e scene of disaster. Stunned and bruised I
was, but had sustained no serious injury.
In answer to my eager inquiries, I learned
that the train colliding with mine was a
heavy express, which I should have passed
at M , the next station beyond.
Liquor did it all. Tom Jones*, the engineer,
who, though known to be a "regu
lar" drinker, was still considered trust*
, worthy, had taken the train out of St. L.
all right a3 for as anybody knew, but
whether he had drank an extra gla#?, and s
got crazy drunk, or whether he had a
touch of the delirium tremens that night,
nobody could ever tell. He and hia lire*
man were both dead, poor fellows. It
was "only known that he had rushed the
train through at full speed, disregarding
all signals from the conductor, and stopping
at no station. But as for the thirty
odd miles, from St A. to II., there were none ?;
but small stations where tho express
stopped only when signaled, I think no one
suspected any harm until they reached M.,
where they should have stopped, and from
there to destruction had been only a brief
ten minutes' ride.
There were half a dozen killed and
wounded on the express; on mine, one of
the brakemen was badly hurt, and Brooks
fauo cviKU> /tvf- vr^wrt/cw.
i "Can't be found, man," I said to my in*
, formant?"what do you mean ?"
"That's what I mean, sir. Hie men on
your train havo searched everywhere, and
I they can't find a trace of him, even."
( It was odd, to pay the least. It was
! now broad daylight, and I could not conr
ceive how any search should have failed to ?.
, find him. I got tip, lame and sore, bat
still able to move about, and went out.
The house was only a little way from the
, scene of the accident The dead and , /
wounded had boon moved away, and men
I wero busy removing tlio debris and clearing
the track. The express train was a very
, heavy one, and mine, though freight, comparatively
light, since I had but few oars.
My engine had been thrown completely
from the track, over^e low bank, into a
wet, marshy meado.w lying alongside the
road. The smokestack was half buried in
the mud. I walked around it, searching
carefully, but there was no sign of my un- __r
fortunate fireman. I looked for him as
long as I was able, and then dragged my
self back to the house, from whence I dispatched
the famer's sen to 13., with a telegraphic
message, to bo sent to my wife,
apprising her of my safety, and begging
, her to see that all knowledge of the accident
was kept from poor Vane's wife, and di,
reeled him to wait for a reply.
i He returned in the afternoon with a mea,
sage from my wife:
_ "Viola says Brooks' body is buried in
the marsh, under the snu.liestack of the
I Amoskeag. Search for k tncre.
1 Emma Dea>-b."
(I Viola was Brooks' wife. I was confoundj
ed. I hi id not iutiuiated to my wife that
! the body was missing, though, of course,
she knew from tlie wording of my dispatch
that he must he dead or badly hurt, I
knew that an account of the accident had
been telegraphed to N., but I doubted if
this fact had been mentioned. However it
was evident that they knew it, but how
Mrs. Vane should know more than that, I
could not understand.
I walked out again to the place where
j the engine lay. Men wero already at work
I with a derrick trying to raise it. It was
many hours before their elforts wero suc-x
cessful. When at last they accomplished
their task, under the smokestack wci3 found
the body of Brooks Vane! i
Theie is little more to tell. You wero at
his funeral, and you know how hard his
! poor wife took Ins loss, antl how islie faded
j and pined, and ere long followed him with
! her babe to the "farther shore."
The little I have to tell you, is the reason
my wife sent that mysterious telegram.
I All that night on which the accident hapi
pened, Mrs. Vane lay in a half stupor?my
j wife was sitting up with her?rousing but
| once between three and four in the morning
I ?just about the time her hnxhand must have
; been killed, when she started up with a
' shriek that rang through the house cry1
ing:
! "0 .Brooks ! Brooks ! ilou't go;" and then
j tihe fell back moaning "dead, dead," and
! Beemed to realize nothing more.
j No one, then, knew anything of the acci|
dent; but when the news came, not ,long
after, every precaution was used to keep it
! from her. It was not until just before my
t telegram had been received, that she so?yned
to evince any consciousness of what was
, passing around her. At that time sho
opened her eyes calmly, looking steadily
into the face of my wife, who sat besido
her, and speaking in low even tones:
"They can't lind my husband, ^Irs.
Dean. Telegraph to Mr. Deanee to have
them look in the marsh, under the smokestack
of the 'Ainoskeag;' they will dud him
there."
She didn't speak again all day. How she
knew her husband w.ts dead or where ho
was, I cannot till.
