Suing with him through the moF. tions one by one, over and ovor gain, unsatisfied, but patient to the last, until Nick wondered. "Nick, my lad," he would often say, with a tired bnt determined gf: smile, "one little thing done wrong ? - ^ may spoil the finest play, as one bad apple rots theborrelful.

A new generation of women has come upon the stage of action and the mothers of Confederate soldiers now living ate few and far bet wen. They were noble women as mothers of such soldiers should of mce sity have been to transmit si ch courage and patriot ism to their s ns as distinguished the Confer era e soldiers.? \bbe| ville Medium.
