rHEY ARE COMING FROM THE WARS.

THEY ARE COMING FROM THE WARS.
By EUeANE H. MUNDAY. -e
They are coming from the wars,
They are bringing home their scars,
They are bringing back the old flag too in glory;
They have battled long and well,
And let after ages tell f'''
How they won the proudest name in song or
story
They have broken up their camps;
They are laughing Ger their tramps;
They are joking with the girls-who flock
around them;
They have left the scanty fare,
They have left the fetid air,
They have dashed to earth the prison-walls that
bound them. 8 a F0 irs
And they are coming from the wars,
They are bringing home their scars,
They are bringing back the old flag, too, in
glory;
They have battled long and well,
And let after ages tell
How they won the proudest name in song or
storyl
We are eager with our thanks,
We are pressing on their ranks -... f
We are grasping hands that held the States un-
Yet we sadly think of those
Who are sleeping with their foes, e-r
And our trembling tongue gives welcome sad
ly spoken.
But the long delay is past,
They have brought us peace at last
And how proudly through our veins the blood
is bounding, il =. a.ifial,. es ea,
Aswe bless our honored dead,
While the steady martial tread
Of returning vetrans in our ears are soundingl
Yes, they're coming from the wars
They are bringing home their scars
They are bringing back the old flag too, iu
glory;
They have battled long and well
And let after ages tell
How they won the proudest name in song or
story!

A toad, lately found by some quarrymen al

thousand years old, is declared not to be a
myth. The Rev. Robert Tay lor, of st. Hilda''
Parsonage, states that it was found in the cen

that it differs in many respects from all Ordin-
airy toads.
There is something very strange, and almost
mesmerical in the rapport between two evil ma
lures. Bring two honest men together, and il
is ten to one if they recognize each other as
honest; difference in temper, manner, even pol
tics, may make each misjudge the other. Bu
bring together two men unprincipled and pre-
verted-men who if born in a cellar, woulC
have been food for the hulks or gallows-auC
they recognize each other by instant sympathy

By far the most important event which has
vet occurred in the way of Church reconstruc-
ton in the South is the recent organization of
