The late war has been the cause of tho <! vet ipmen! of many societies for the relief of tho soldiers. Our webi"n have come forward nobly and lv<n unremitting in their efforts to vi no the suffering of our men in camp, field and hospital; relief societies have been formed in every state and almost . v ry town. Tho work has been somewhat now to enr southern women, but they have accomplished a. great amount of good. Wl: <1 would have becnni. of our wounded and si. k in our hastily improvised hospitals v i . n waitin ’ for government supplies had it not 1., on for our women who were al w.q. ready to suppi.’ towels, b-d linen, let i• • • < and nourishment f>r lite sick? I so, the Nation d Belief Society have -pti ng oiany state organizations which have done good work. Many of our re.nl'rs. in reading of these relief s oi.tics. f;ave asked many questions about the Bed Cross, and we are wry glad to be able to give them an article full of information on the . übj. ct sent by one Os our co".. pomlents. and wo would like tn extend our t link < to her for it.

Fairchild, Waveland, Miss.— T am here by the “sad sea waves,” or rather gulf waves, and it "r.iineth all the time.” Waveland, though on the Mississip pi coast, and forty-eight miles from New Orleans, can almost be considered a sub urb of that city, as so many business men live hero in the summer, going to and from their business daily—ninety-six miles a day! What would our grandfathers have thought of that? Waveland and Bay St. Louis are really one and the same place, though each has its mayor ami aidermen. They extend sev eral miles along the coast and some of the places ar (! very pretty. This coast is called by one of our popular writers, the home of tlie mockingbird, and it does seem as if tin y were partial to this locality.

I am jtoor, but. T send niy niite to the hospital. Christ gave Himseif as a sacrifice for us, ami can’t we give'.' Our life Is not required oi us in this; only our mites! Mrs. Hattie Ta Whiteside, Keysville, Va. I have been very much interested in the talks about how to raise boys. Some thought “we need not be so careful in training them as we bad to be with gills. 1 don't think that there is any difference, should be more careful in the train ing of boys. Our girls are with us until they are grown. Hum tiny are either put in charge of some good, trusty friend when they go off to get in business, or get married and have a husband to look after diem. As a general thing, a boy is I. to himself or with other boys to Unit amusement as best ho can most o. tlie time. Then he Is sent to school as soon as lie will be allowed to go. As I heard one mother say, “to get rid of Hie noisy brats for a few hours. ' They don’t know and don't care who their little boys play with. I knew one little bo; who spent his Sun.lavs at negro houses, fishing and hunting. Now. is ii any wonder that boys will go astray, when they are allowed to grow up that Way? I have two dear little boys, and I think they are good boys. i have mad.' it a rule to talk a great dial to my boys, ex plaining everything I can to them. 1 told them Hie good and bad sides to ev er.' thing. I give them good books to read and good papers: when' it is not convenient for tie m to go with tlie best people, they slay right with me. 1 talk with them just as if they were grown men. We read to each other and tell our little jokes. Their ages are thirteen and fifteen. They would not think of going off to school or anywhere with out kissing me goodby. Nearly three years ago 1 took a little orphan girl to tear. I made them treat her just, as she wet' their own sister. They hre just as free 1 with me as a boy could be with ills moth er, am) at the same, time when tell H>' in they must do a thing they do it, for they know 1 will be obey' d. Ob, mothers we can't in- too careful in the training ot our boys. in a f. vv years they will be fl e men to rule our country, and v.e ought t know that bad boys <i»n’t "lien make good mi n.
