BY TILLIB MATHISON. \We live in a 'world of bsauty. Fragrance is wafted on every gale, mUsic..borne on every breeze, and a Deity proclaimed _everywhere. Amid these beauties and harmonies of na ture, God has placed woman , and given her golden opportunities. From her waking in Eden Until now, she has had * work to do, a problem to solve whose solution ends only with her life. In the early history of the race, we find Woman degraded; but'as civilization ad vances, as there is more Christ abroad in the earth, she rises from her low condition, and is recognized as a being endowed with intel lect and affection. In the various relations which she sustains in-life, hers is a noble mission. To her keep ing are committed jewels, whose beauty is ! enhanced in proportion as she bestows on them the more skillful workmanship. Here is her science-chamber—-c'/z/W/woi/ is her u-m-hi; in it she toils, with it she lives, upon I it is left the impress of her character, to it i she devotes her energies and her life. And what is her reward ? Summon the world's 1 nobility, and the answer will be given. ATho ! was the mother of \iYashington ? who of ATatts and lYesley? They were women whose hearts throbbed for humanity; whose gaze penetrated the future; and while life to them was radiant with glory here, Hope and Faith looked for its full fruition yonder,— The Mothers of the past—ffod bless them. How holy is a sister's affection! How often i.s it granted her to win to virtue tho n-ayword boy—the brother beloved. “When parents have tried in rnia to reclaim the How have the u'omen of A.mei'ica borne themselves in this our country's struggle ?— Has the spirit that glowed in the breast of the Spartan mother met with a resurrection ? Does the same life-blood swell owr veins that animated the mothers of ’76 ? When the tocsin of war sounded through the land, when the fiery cross was raiaed on high, it roused the flame of patriotism in ev ery part of the loyal Union. In the North, the East and the far West, brave mothers blest their boys and sent them forth to fight the nation’s battles. IVherever the fiery symbol came, the people rushed to arms, ea ger to lay their lives on the altar of liberty. From every valley, from every mountain home. Woman has sent her offering ; and'is it a lesser sacrifice to bid the soldier go than to march with comrades to the bloody strife ? Is it easier to suffer through a long and wea ry life, thau to die ere the heart has grown tired of its woes ? We would not dim the glory of those who sleep on our battle fields, “ The ground is holy where they fought, ’Tis holy where they fell but we cannot forget the fatherless and the widow; to them the cry of victory is min gled with the groans of the dying, the fare wells of the dead ; and though they have giv en their loved ones to the Death-tyrant, the sacrifice is not completed. When wife and mother surrender to their country their choicest treasures, each succeed ing year they offer them up anew, and at each renewal, open afresh the wounds which can find no healing. There is a patriotism deep in woman’s heart which many waters cannot quench ; it lies upon a consecrated alter, whose incense 25 Cents to Save 25 Dollars. GEO. P . CON A NT A: CO., .
