The contagion of their zeal am
thusiasm was always an inspire
to the sterner sex; and their act
les contributed largely to the con
of their armies in the field. To
sick and wounded, they were
guardian angels, and their sweet
pious ministrations softened
last moments of many a poor fel
who confided to them his last
sages to the loved ones home.

k?r It is not to be implied that this
suffering waa altogether peculiar to
the Southern women. 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
? ' dreadfully in evidence on both aide.
ren But there waa this difference:
The one waa generally surrounded
by friends, and rarely if ever, left
without any protection. 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

< 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
