And they who have the trials shared,
With wreaths of deathlcss glory crown d,
Thank God, at last are 'homcward bound.
Shoulder to shoulder they have stood, ?
On many Geld of war and blood;
Together fought on battle plain .
Together wcpt for comrades slain.
These soldiers brave, and tried and true,
Will bid each other now adicu, N
And with all honor. glory crown'd,
Each warrior chief is ''homcward bound.'
The drums shall muster them no more,
Nor cannon send its deadly roar!
The bugle call they will not hear, u.
But voice of loved ones fill their ear.
The battles shock. the dungeons gloom.
They II change for JOYS of home, sweet home;
Oh, may home with plenty crown d.
Await each soldier ''homeward bound
Ended 81. last, this cruel war;
Oh, mother, sister weep no more;
Let all your fears and SORROWS cease,
Aud hail the early dawn of peace.
Come with your smiles and kind words, come,
And bid the hero ''welcome home -
He comes with wreaths Of laurel crown,d,
Your soldier boy is ''hoineward bound"

No more in hospital to pine, -....

Oh, had the soldiers courage failed,
Our banner in the dust hadlraicd,
And liberty her grave had'found
And slavery been with triumph crown'd.
When the red tide Of battle lowered,
Or when defeated, ovcrpowered,
Still firm the mighty phalanx stood -
Like rivers ran their hero blood
They left their dead in thousands slain,
And rallied round their flag again.
They saw that flag with victory crowned,
And now they're marching I" homcward

And there are thousand hearts that yearn

ReSnThe state of matrimony is bounded
by huggihg and kissing on one side, and
cradles and Labies on the other. Its chief
products are population, broomsticks and
staying out late O. nights. 1t was discovered
by Adam and Eve while trying to find a
northwest passage out of Paradise. The
