They took the people by sur prise, and when they walked into the post office it was almost a shock to the people. Their near relatives not know ing of their return, was none of them in town to meet them, but they were warmly welcomed by all the old friends who were rejoiced to see them home once more. Charley is in poor health, and they both looked tired and worn out with the long travel across the ocean and from the coast. Poor boys, we hope they can now rest and enjoy the tender sympathy of home folks and friends. We are glad for the mother and father of Charley, and for the brother of Mr. Rush. It has been a continued worry for the friends of those boys. They were uneasy and fearful least they should never return. But they are here and we hope the re mainder of the holidays can be joyfully passed in the society of each other.
