The mortalities ory- of battle and diseases carried morning and grief to many a Northern 8 home, and the women on that aide had their hearts wrung by the loee WOD~ of their dear ones. The vacant chair, and the gap in the family circle was ?

She was far r from the scene of conflict, and the horrors of war were not brought to r her doors. She had the satisfaction of knowing that those of her household who had gone to the front, were I lavishly cared for by a government, j ? rich in all the resource* which could 8 contribute to their safety and comfort. She was never seriously opa pressed by fears of an Invading army. She had never to fly from a bouse laid in ashes before her eyes, at the hands of ruthless soldiers. She had never to learn what It meant to be a lpon refugee. She was never harassed by the spectre of hunger and want for herself and her children, und she was never In her loneliness exposed to the dangers of a servile race, whose rf> loyalty was forever being assailed ; nrp' and undermined. With the Southern | im* women was 'ur different. The war was all around her. Frequently she APrf" was enveloped between contending j pn< p lines, and the bloody conflict some-1 * times reached her very doorsteps. i on q.jie nojse 0f contending strife was < on" constantly in her ears, and at times j1 " .. the horrible missiles of the enemy' IS ." penetrated her home and dwelling, l' making the cellar the only place of < safety. Worst of all, were the In"IllK suits to which she was subjected, " m' when drunken ruffians, throwing V V aside all pretense of discipline gave J' themselves up to pillage and wanton "heir destruction. In some localities the conduct of j Northern troops was marked by a j * . commendable respect for the gentlel 1 " sex- and some regard for the rights . . of property.
