"WHEN THE BOYS COME HOME AGAIN.
The following; beautiful poem,
from thft pen of Mrs. Sallie Lanien
appears in the States villa Land
mark. It was, written for Company
E, First N. 6. Regiment, but is
equally applicable to all, and we are
sure will touch a most hearty
responsive chord in the bosoms of
our readers :
Just last May we watched them
. sadly, ' : .f
As they marched our boys
grown men !
Now (oh, words we echo gladly!)
They are coming home again 1
Hark I I hear soma fair young
maiden
(Shame it were to call her vain I)
Whisper, glancing in her mirror,
"He is coming home again !" .
Listen to the shouting school-boys,
Racing home across the plain,
"Don't you kcow we'll have a 'hot
time7
When the boys come home again"
J6y fully th mothers labor,
Bike and trim, and 121,906! and
f clean;
'All must look its brighteit, fairest,
When my boy comes home
again l"
. I . , -. .
Cornel For loving, arms will meet
you !
CoinM For bright eyes will be
fairer I ' !
All our hearts go out to greet you ;
Home again, boys 1 Home again 1
Yet, forget not, in our gladness,
Those who weep, in lonely pain ;
Can "the tumult and the snouting?
Give them back their dead again?
Smiles..we,ll bring to greet our sol
diers, -
Tears to rapurn our heroes dead I
Thanks we offer to the Giver,
That our boys come home again !

recently made a visit to Cuba
and Porto Rico where he
studied the situation from a
local standpoint. Thefollow

through the Associated Press
at least makes some
mighty good reading. The
Secretary said ; t

the wonderful possibilities of
Cuba and Porto Rico., .before

Vigilance Needed. ;
The News and Obseryer says that
Raleigh has five cases of smallpox
in the pest house. Beside it seems
that city has famished three cases
to Monroe. The latter town, how
over, would thank Raleigh to keep
her infected subjects at home. There
seems some probability that the
Raleigh board of health might do
well to be a little more vigilant.
