THE RETURN OF THE soERs.

One Of the saddest scenes in the panorama Of his

have been forced to drink these same bitter waters of
Marah to the dregs.
The most poignant pain Is not in the sight of the
wrecked homes and the ravages and destruction in all

earth does right but It is hard for the battlescarred

And yet the southerner returned after the war to

British ships have brought them from the prisons OF
