REVEILLE.

We have from time to time received most terrible accounts of the barbarous treatment to which British and soldiers have been exposed after they have been taken prisoner, while being conveyed to German prison camps.—Sir Edward Grey's Note to America. ('Tis time to stir him from his trance. I pray you, Sir, Awake 1Shakespraw Well, aro you happy here, pure patriot soul, Who love your land too much to leave her now ? • Does no red signature dofilo your brow When sea-ward all the tawny columns roll? Sinco you have bread enough, what do you know Of goaler's tyranny and empty bowl I But these things are—and still these things shall bo, Unrealised realities of 6hamo; Tho swiftest of our fears lags and is lame Behind the horror of that verity. Better to die as they do, than to tamo Tho man in us, and let death mako them freo. You who stay hero, you must not glaueo aside l.est from tho shadow some ijaunt hand should grow, And faint accusing voices whisper low, Like tho insistent murmuring of tho tide: "We went, remember, when you would not go, And then, because you would not come, we died." DOROTHY MARGARET STUART —In a London paper.
