THE RED CROSS.
They, too, iiavo heard the drum boat,
They follow the bugle’s call;
These who are swift with pity
On the field where bravo men fall.
When tho battle Boom is silent
And tho echoing' thunder dies,
'They haste to tho plain red-sodden
Wit«i tho blood of sacrifice.
Tho flag that floats above them
Is marked with a crimson sign.
Pledge of a groat companion
And tho rifted heart divine.
That once for a man’s redemption
Knew earth's completes! loss—
’l'l>. so to the field of valor
Bring love's immortal cross.
And so they follow the bugle,
And heed the drum-beat call,
But their errand is one of pity—■
They succor the men who fall.
—Harper's Bazar.
THE RED CROSS.
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

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

Mrs. H. G. 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.
Speaking of song birds, have you heard
that beautiful new song, “o Say Not. I'm
Forsaken,” by’ one of Atlanta’s talented
warblers, Rosalie Lambert? Don’t bo tho
last to get it.
I see many departments in various pe
riodicals devoted to women, but in my

love to hive our jiaper to talk more on

made a paper to learn and be learned

new idea. The letter in the issue of Au

ity, of these three charity is the greaiest.
Well, my dear readers, in studying over
this, I wonder where and h"f we and.
So many of us profess to have faith and
hop". Are we without charity? Charity Is
tho greatest. It seems to tim 1!' we are
not charitable our faith and hope is Inn
little compared with our charity. Now,
does charity lead to faith and hope, or
does faith and hope lead to charity.' Now,
wb.it is charity? Charity is to deny your
self of something to give. It is the saeil
liee which makes a charitable gitl noble
and God-loving. So be charitable in such
as this. As ye did it unto one of these
little ones, ye did it unto me. I hope too

even if you live to lie old.
Let us all remember one another in

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

Mackey, who Is an ex-judge of the circuit

was Bostha Porterfield, .and until her mar
riage to the judge she lived with her pat
ents, who an- said to be prominent people
at Charleston, W. Va. They were married
about a month ago ;:t the girl's ihome and
from there went to New Y ork.
While in that city she claims to have
learned that her husband had another
wif'-. He is said to have explained that
he was nnitricd in JX!H. bat several months
later* his wife told him that sne had an
other husband, and tho judge left her.
lie did not see her again, he is said to
have declared, until his visit to New York,
a rnl thereupon ■ tri second mar-
riage she thretitenid him with arrest,
.For a time he pacified fe irs of wife No,
2 by declaring that he. would have the first
marriai - annulled, as il id never bei u
legal. But Hie status of affairs soon reach
ed Hie ears of the gill s parents, and a
warrant was it once i. tied for Mmk' y'r
arrest. He was arraigned before Magis
trate Jearman la'e in tile afternoon. Tho
hi iiring was postponed pending further in
vestigation by tlhe I'oMce.
