OUT IN onter anguish, Oh, Iod, have
pity on my wiie and children
And the other drew closer to him.
ana away down among the cotton
heids OF Georgia there's a woman and
a little girl, whose hearts Will break
when they hear what this day has done, y
and then the cry rung itself sharply out
OF MS heart, I'm, uod, nave P'ty upon
them!
And from that moment the Northern
er and the Southerner ceased to be foes.
The thought OF those distant homes on
which the anguish was TO tall, drew
tnem closer together IN that hour, and
the two men wept like little children:
And at last the Northerner spoke,
talking more TO himself than to any one
else'. and did not know that the other
was listening greedily to every word {:
She used TO eome-my little girl,
bless i'er heart !--eSery night to meet
me when ! came home from the fields:

yellow brown in her golden eurls, and
