COMING HOME.

1.-THE following little poem, copied from
the New York Independent, is from the pen
of Mrs. Frances ID. Gage, of Ohio, lady
widely known throughout the country, and
distinguished by her genius and patriotism.
Its genuine poetic sentiment, and the exqui.
site simplicity and beauty of its language,
are not its only claims to admiration. 1t is
from first to last actual matter of fact. The
flour brave boys" were and are genuine
boys of flesh and blood, the children of the
authoress, and were ALL as stated, "one in a
soldiers hospital, and
I'm Texas one,
And one in Tennessee,
And one triumphant marching on
With Sherman to the sea "
''Neighbor Morris" who -...
I'm the fight
OF Wagner lost her son."
is suitable too-as well as the "robin" aud
the "beans" The beans were picked on
the day the poem was written; the boys
came duly home-two at least in time for
the dish they so fused to love,nl
They wrote me they were coming home
These good brave boys of mine;
A coming home from out the war,
(How bright the sun does shineD
thought the morning train would bring
Them, though they did not say
Just when they would be here; but then,
I'm looking every day.
That robin does sing merrilyl
III go and pick the beans
The dear boys used to love them so,
When they were little weans.
All me! They've had hard times since then,
On picket, march and raid,
And many bloody battle field,
Where comrades brave were laid
I've often laid awake at nights,
And listened to the storm,
And thought of them SO wet and cold,
And so snug and warm;
And when the scorehing summer noons
Have withered leaf and vine,
I've thought of them in sultry camps
Those darling boys OF mine.
And not alone OF them I've thought;
But every soldier-boy
Who periled life for that old flag
(Some mothers hope and joy)
Was dearer for the love bore
My own. God wills it so;
And who shall blame a mothers lover
For all bade them go.
Sometimes, when news of battles came,
My tongue could hardly speak,
To bless the Lord for victory.
1 thought my heart would break
While reading down the long, long list
OF wounded and of slain,
Until found that mine were saved
And that scarce eased my pain.
When neighbor Morris, in the fight
OF Wagner, lost her SON
Her last, her ALL felt that
Could better have spared onel
And all day long seemed to hear
A voice: "Your turn will come"
o! day of fearful agonyl
And now they're coming home.
l sometimes did not dare to pray
To God all mine to save;
Some mothers sons must fall, knew,
For freedom and the slave.
And why not mine? In Texas one,
And one in Tennessee,
And one triumphant marching on
With Sherman to the sea.
One in soldiers hospital
For many a week was laid;
How could hope, while day by day
So many graves We're NADER
OH why not mine9 But since Thy hand
Has spared them every one,
How can praise and love enough
For them and freedom wonP
They're coming home, they're coming home,
My four dear boys, at lastl
Morn, noon and eve I'll praise Thy name
For every mercy past.
But, most of all, OH God of right,
Ill give my thanks to Thee,
That they have striyen and helped to win
This glorious victory.

Railroad Profits.

Three hundred of the leading railroads
IN the United States, having S232 miles of
first-class road In operation, cost, with all
their equipments, SI95, ,S99O2g. or an aver
age of SEQ, 23O per mile. During the year
1865 the gross earnings of those three hum
dred railroads were Sl59 l0i. .5S7, or Sl9.337
per mile, about 30 per cent. on the cost of
the roads. Not quite tWO-thirds of this
sum, or Sl02i97,0l7, was spent IN running
the roads during the year, SO that 500. .GgG
Gao are len for profits, being an average of
Sd,SS6 for each mile of road in operation.
This is eleven and one-half per cent. upon
the amount invested, an annual profit chat
ought TO be satisfactory TO every one, aud
which is a convincing argument that Con-
gress, In passing the late tax law. did
wrong in permitting the railroads 10 assess
their internal revenue taxes upon their
passengers. The result of the business of
1866 also proves the substantial value of
railroad investments. During the wear
thirteen American railroads paid 10 pcr
cent. dividend; two paid II per cent; one
10 per cent? one 30 per cent, and two IS

NC Wheat Orop of 1SGn.

Commissioner Newton in his report for
July has the following interesting sum
mary rs 10 the wheat crop Of the country
for the present year:
Wheat, the bread crop Of the country,
was In 1860 less in quantity aud in quality
than in 1851 Much of the seed used last
fall was of inferior quality, producing
plants of low vitality anl the winter fol-
lowing was in most districts variable.
freezing and thawing. with littlo snow and
much moisture and TO add TO the chances
against the Life of the plants, the spring
was cold, with frequent aud severe frecZ-
ing. This was the case particularly in the
Ohio valley, and to some extent throughout
the country east of the Mississippi. But
the States west OF that river promise nm
unusually abundant crop of superior quail
ity. The fine weather of the late spring
and early summer has wonderfully dcyel-
oped the remaining grain of the injured
districts. There has breu an unusual eX-
emptiOn from the raVagcs of the insect
tribes; neither rust nor storms have done
It material injury; and now if IL escapes
sproutng from vet weather the promise
Is of crop nearly rs large as last year and
far better in quality. The present indica-
tiOns, as marked hS our thousands of CORE
spondcnts, point 10 an average of about 81;
tenths i'm quantity, and Of a quality THAI
will make il equal in value to last years

Work and Wages in Enrono.

The Secretary of the Board of Agricul-
ture Of New York, in Il visit last wear To
Europe obtained the particulars in regard
to the price of agricultural labor. In Eng
land thirty-seven cents day he reports as
the highest sum paid the laborer boarding
himself In most parts of Ireland, the farm
iaborcr gets but twenty-five cents day
and boards and lodges himself and Mt that
rate he does not get work half the time.
The days work Is from daylight 10 dark.
In Belgium the average price is a frame
and n half, or about thirty cents n dnv. the
workmen finding themselves. At Bonn. on
the Rhine, it is about ten silver groscbcn,
about twenty-five cents day. In Wcisba-
den it is from fOrty-two 10 forty three
kreutzcrs q day for the best workmen ON
farms and on roads, and on many farms
they pay only thirtY-siX krcutzcrs day,
or twenty-four cents: the men in all eases
boarding themselves. In the Grand puchv
of Baden, it. varies from forty-two to forty
eight kreutzers. In and around Cassell the
daily wages amount to fifteen silver gros-
chcns or thirty cents. Female iabor-
ers in the field obtain twenty-siX kreutzers
OF about eighteen cents a day. finding them
selves. This is in harvest time, when the
price Is higher than at any other season.
The price of living is not so high in these
countries as in the United States, vet i'm
fact 10 live rs well as our people of the same
class do, the cost would b. very nearly the
same. In Dublin, for instance potatoes
sold at seven-pencc a stone of fourteen
pounds, equal to sixty cents a bushel The
price of good butter throughout Ireland is
on an average a shilling "A pound, and that
of choice quality eighteen pence, or thirty
SIX cents. The price of Hour on tile CONT
ncnt of Europe Is about as high rs with us,
and the same quality Of meat is about rs
high.
