Our Boys are COmlng Home.
From the Saturday Evening POst.l

Thank God, che sky is SlsarIngl
The clouds are huFFying past;
Thank God, the day iS nsAEingI
The dawn is coming fast.
And when glad herald voices
shall tell as peace has come,
This thought shall most rejoice nsi
Our boys are coming home
Boon shall the voice Of singing
Drown vars tremendous din:
Soon shall the jOy-belIE' ringing
Bring peace and freedom in.
The Jubilee bODfres- burning,
Shall soon light up the dome,
And soon, to sOOtbe our yesTnisR,
Our boys are coming home.
The vacant nreGids plaoss
Have waited for them lOng!
The love light lacks their faces,
The chorus waits their song;
A shHdOWy fear has haunted
The long deserted room !;
But now our prayers are granted,
OuEbOyS are coming home
O, mother, calmly waiting
For that beloved son
o, sister, proudly dating

Joy, joy the boys are coming
Our boys are coming hOnsi
And yst-oh, kOenest sorrow -
They're coming, but not all;
Full many a dark tomorrow
Shall wear its sable pail
For thousands who are sleeping
Beneath the Ompurplsd loan;
Woe woe I fer those we're weeping,
Who never viii come home.
Osad heart, husk aheir griSving;
Wait but little while
With hoping and believing
Thy woe AID fear beguilO.
Wait for the joyous meeting
Beyond the starry dome,
For there our boys are waiting
To bid us WelcOme home.

THE BARBARGsM OF SLAvERY.-We
we're invited round to the Provost Mar.
shal's Office last week, to see q "contra-
band" who recently escaped from North
Carolina, with about 100 others, and
made their way to Gen. Burbridgo's
lines near Saltville, Va. He came here
to enlist, and on being stripped for ox.
animation, his body presented spccta-
Gle which excited the horror, pity and
indignation of the officers and Of all who
saw it, His arms and legs we're literally
knottcd with scars from the teeth OF
bloodhounds which had torn him when
attempting to escape, while his back
was scanned with welts like whip-cords,
caused by the overseer's brutal lnsh.-
Such a sight we never saw before, and
| IL would have removed all doubt, had
any existed in our mind, Of the truth oi
the MANY stories we had read of South
fern barbarism and cruelty to the down
trodden slave. The man was about y
years old, but was under the ni'nlma
height for soldier, and was therefor,
not enlisted, but the Marshal humanely
furnished him some new clothes to re-
place his tattcred garments, and gave
him anna uood odvice nc IN makinu 8
wise use Of his newly acquired liberty
by forming industrious ana temperate
habits, after which he went on his wa,
rpioicinp.
