Womanhood.
The restored glory of Woman ! The
spirit, the statements of Christianity on this
subject, are as original as any other of its
transcendent announcements; nor was Eden,
when it gathered the loveliness of the earth
into its bosom and smiled to heaven the
image of its Lord, a newer or fresher crea
tion than was the idea, or rather the ideal,
of Christian womanhood as the Son of Mary
taught it. The farewell voice of His cross,
‘ Behold thy Mother ! ’ is the strain that has
never died on the air—that childhood and
youth and age, in all Christian lands, have
consciously or unconsciously repeated—
that still floats in all languages around the
globe, blending with praises and prayers,
rising on hallelujahs and hosannas, or, seek
ing the silent heart, has rolled through its
arteries with gentler melody and quickened
its blood to a warmer flow.
In those returning visions of humanity,
which fill the pages of the New Testament,
the idea of womanhood has its rightful hon
or. Meek and submissive, true and patient,
and pure, womanhood here shares the glory
of a new creation—a glory of her own, de
rived from the Prince of Peace. The pecu
liar virtues belonging to her nature are just
the virtues that advancing society must by
necessity cherish and practise. Never were
they more needed than now ; and, therefore,
the most significant sign of Providential
interposition in our day is this wonderful
.evoking of womanly worth ; its sudden ap
pearance, like a lovely apparition in the
arena of literature and life; and its earnest
summons to manly feeling to reciprocate
its claims'and accept its precious offices.—
Here is the merciful provision to unsensual
ize our civilization, to check our cold and
barren worldliness, to heighten the fading
beauty of daily existence, and to bring back,
in something better than poetic raptures, the
lost imaginings of domestic blessedness.
[/Vr The, Baptist Banner.}
The Hospital and the Soldier.
The. first of January, 1863, still finds us
engaged in deadly conflict with a most un
yielding and merciless foe. Spring, with
its budsand birds ; Summer, with its wealth
of flowers and verdant fields; Autumn,
with its gorgeous sunsets and harvests;
Winter, “ stern and drear,” have succes
sively appeared, and still we struggle on.
Life’s vicissitudes have been sadly more
varied since the dark days of war and pes
tilence. Oft has been seen the, “ vacant
chair” at the family gatherings,and hushed
has been many a loved voice during the
past unhappy year. “ Old Time,” in his
unvarying course, unfolds another scroll of
mouths, weeks, days and hours, with their
untried responsibilities and duties, with
their future hopes, fears and griefs, and
above all, their unlimited space for future
energies.
We can offer no excuse for tardiness.—
HV dare not say, Where are objects for
our care or usefulness? Alas I they are
every when* around us. Much has been
done—there is still much to do; but Oh !
let it not be said, there is much undone.—
Language is scarcely adequate to express,
or can the human mind, with its vast con
ceptions, form but meagre outlines of, the
sufferings and hardships endured by those,
many of whom we most tenderly love, and
all of whom are (or should be) dear to us,
in “ the common tie of national relation
ship.”
In imagination, let us visit the soldier
nt his nightly post, as his eye eagerly scans
every object around, and his ear is ever
awaiting the approach of some suspected
foe. The twinkling stars, the stately forest
trees,and the humble shrubs, are his com
panions. Perhaps the night is dark, the
clouds are heavy, and the rain falls thick
and fast. I nmindful of the storm, how
ever terrible it rages, he must still be there.
11 is fare is coarse, and often meagre. He
can tell of long, tiresome marches, of parch
ing lip and brow, and blistered feet. Again
and agn.it', on some memorable field, his
well-aimed fire repelled the insolent foe.—
He has stood where the ‘ leaden messen
gers of death ” fell “ thickest and truest.” j
Around on even side have fallen the com
rades of his gallant regiment, some, per
haps, too, of his own fireside. The unclosed
eyes ot the dead have piteously glared on
him as he rushed onward, with fixed ba\o
net, to the “ charge.”
But alas’ he eau withstand the trying
ordeal ot night dews, broken slumbers, in
tense heat, and piercing cold, no longer,
and his manly form lies prostrate in the .
wardot some Hospital. Oh! how mans
limes has his imagination conjured up the
scenes of tins (to a soldier) terrible place.
Thev shudder at the thought ot being one
of its inmates. In fancy, they hear the
thrilling groans of the wounded, the wild
shrieks of the delirious, or the rattling fare
well of life as it leaves its clay tenement
forever. The cheering voices of home are
not here. Strange eyes and forms are
every where around them. No mother's
soft step glides noiselessly to the couch of
her cherished boy. No wife's caress or
tender accents are felt and heard by the
suffering husband on his narrow bed.—
•’When 1 was at home, my sister always
tended to me.” said the quivering lips of
one. •• Oh! my mother !" groaned another.
"My wile! mv darling babe! came thro'
the lialf.L>s> d lips <>f another. Poor suf
terers ! I'luit'islet's gentle watchings are
no moie tor the brave boy. that meek
mother's prayers mghtly ascend, withan
incei.se of holy tears, for her martyr son,
and that tend wife more closely nestles her
1’ S1 S A S a B M*
blue-eyed babe, as if to shield it from the i
dangers to which its noble father stands
exposed. Many miles are between you
and the loved ones at home, poor pale-faced
soldier, and God only knows when and
w’here you shall meet again. But let us
not linger amid such scenes as these; let
them be remembered not to saddbn, but to
encourage us in our work of alleviating, as
far as possible, the sufferings of the brave
defenders of our consecrated land.
Soon after the first memorable victory
on the Plains of Manassas, circumstances
called me to Richmond. The first impulse
was, What could Ido ? But here let me
say, that with the vast increase of popula
tion in that city, one could hardly find a
place to be useful. A thousand hearts had
beat responsive to the call of duty. Every
where hospitals had been instituted, and the
fair hands of the old, middle aged, the
blooming school-girl, and the blushing maid,
were untiring at their posts. Neighbor
hoods and congregations rivaled each other
in their deeds of mercy. I visited a hospi
tal in a remote part of the city, which kind
ladies were superintending. The w r ards
were neatly kept, as were also the patients.
In one corner, near a window’, was a group
, of convalescents eagerly devouring the con
tents of a news paper furnished by some
kind hand. One poor fellow was endeav
oring to write a letter. In imagination, I
pictured the welcome greeting of that letter
should it reach its destined home. In
another corner was the cot of a handsome
looking Kentuckian, who, with his head
renting on his elbow 7 , was listening to the
words of an old, tattered hymn-book,
which was read by a Virginian at his side.
Most horrible of this much-dreaded place,
was the appearance of a ta'l, gaunt soldier
in the dying agonies of “ delirium tremens!'
Turn where I would, his bursting eye balls
seemed to fascinate me, and one trembling
finger ever pointed at those near him.—
' Oh ! was it to warn others of the fatal in
fluence of the serpent which had so terribly
. beguiled his yielding senses? “Fear not
ye those that kill the body and afterwards
have no more power, but rather fear that
which will destroy both soul and body.”
A lady told me that she had been reading
to a sick soldier from a little hymn-book,
and that he seemed much interested. Per
haps in her gentle, humane tones she read
some familiar Sunday School hymn. Oh !
how many associations of the past came
bubbling up to the surface of his memory.
He remembered when he was a little boy,
“ere sorrow came, and sin with all its
blights;” his voice, too, had once joined in
the seraph notes of that infant band, and
perhaps some wish of those little hymns
swelled up to a prayer, and another “ ring ”
was prepared as the “ prodigal son ” neared
his “ Father’s mansion.” Scoff not, thou
Pharisee, as I plead these little things.—
Man’s noblest nature comes not oftenest at
the counting room, in the busy crowd, or
where speculation stalks, rife with widows’
sighs and orphan’s tears; but the lone
chamber, with its draw n curtains or fallen
strength, wherever it may be. Apart from
the absolute necessities of a soldier in a
hospital, we can even furnish him with some
luxuries. Do not shrink : Ido not mean
useless expenditures for unprofitable dain
ties. But we can and should furnish him
with something to interest and occupy his
mind—furnish him with something for in
struction, and perhaps he may receive the
“good word in season.”
To the, soldier’s friend, in whatever
sphere of life, I commend this humble ap
peal, trusting that in every good work they
may not falter, but be encouraged by the
sweet cheering words of the meek and lowly
Saviour : “Blessed are the merciful, for they
shall obtain mercy.”

Recipes f6r Coloring.
Now that, the ladies of our confederacy
are so busily engaged making their home
spun dresses, we select two recipes for col-1
ors that contrast well, and, with a little
I white atid black, can bo arranged in man)
beautiful stripes and checks :
Confederate Dye.— To make a beautiful
Blue: Take alder berries, mash them and
press out the juice; to two gallons of juice
add about one ounce of alum. Dip the |
thread in this thoroughly and air it, and ■
the dye is set.
To dye cotton or wool brown : Take the
I bark of the root of a common wild pl urn—;
I boil in iron or brass, as most convenient,
■ until the dye looks almost black. Strain
‘and add a small quantity of copperas. Add
I the article to be dyed. Boil an hour or so.
Wring out and dip in strong cold ley.—
• When dry, rinse in cold water. This gives
! a genuine, bright brown, which is the pret
tiest contrast for blue; and when checked ;
in together, makes a dress becoming for the
proudest Southern dame or belle.
Somebody says that a young lady should
always ask the following questions before ‘
accepting the hand of any young man :
Is he honorable ?
Is he kind of heart ?
Can he support me comfortably ?
Does he take a good paper, and pav for
it in advance ?

All Hail to the Nation’s Great Chief.
Our Southern Empire, vastly great,
Was born a giant strong;
With giant virtues doth await,
Due justice for the wrong,
Committed by a Vandal horde,
Who, led by demons vile,
Spare not age nor sex, when implor’d,
But outrage and revile.
Beauty and age in Southern homes,
Are left in wail and wee ;
In might arrayed, our sires and sons,
Deal vengeance to the foe.
Jeff. Davis, with virtues adorned,
Is giving us relief ;♦
His counsels proving to the world,
He is the noblest Chief.
Almighty and ever-living God,
Bless him, our Chieftain true ;
Be thou his guardian and his guide—
His conduct we’ll approve;
Prolong his days—the just and good,—
With health his life surround:
In trials great, his valor stood
A strife of endless bound.
The soldier and statesman combined,
Qualities seldom found,
The head of our Nation’s enshrined,
May endless joy resound.
God’s love descend, “ like rain to cheer,
The meadow and the field,”
Upon brave men who know no fear—
Give strength the sword to wield.
Our bills and valleys shall Bring forth
The happy fruits of peace,
Which all the world shall own to be,
, The work of earnestness,
While every field attests the truth,
That we for justice fought,
And drove the foe from strongholds forth,
-With skill and science wrought.
Our Nation’s birth is heralded,
By every cannon’ boom,
While Freedom for the noble dead,
Shall hallow every tomb;;
Her voice shall cro s Potomac’s tide,
And sound from sea to sea :
‘‘These are the gallant brave who died,
While fighting to be free.”
♦ Butiea, the Beast, he condemned to be hung.

PROPOSALS FOR A SEW WORK,
BNTITLRD
Angels’ Visits along the Pathway of Life;
Whisperings front the Spirit Land.
“ APPLES OF GOLD, IN PICTURES OF SILVER.”
The undersigned has long been impressed
with the idea of getting up a work on this sub
ject, not to be dedicated to any particular Sect
or Denomination, but a book which will interest
all, and in which all may share a part.
While we may be permitted to visit the graves
of loved ones, and read their epitaphs engraven
upon marble and, as it were, hold sweet commu
nion with departed spirits— yet, there arc many,
very many endearing traits of character, as well
as many things they have said while living,
i which, if written in a book, would afford us in
calculable pleasure, and stimulate us to imitate
their virtues.
What family is there in this-wide scope of
country, who has not lost some fond relative or
kind friend, and who would not delight to see
that precious name thus preserved and handed
down to posterity. To accomplish this impor
tant object, I now make an appeal to all such to
furnish me with sketches of loved ones gone,
from the infant of two years old up to that of
old age, enumerating all expressions particular
ly used previous to their departure from earth
to Heaven. Especially do I request facts in re
lation to the honored dead who have fallen in
battle.
It will require time and labor to accomplish
( the object, but when perfected, it will doubtless
be a work of general interest to all those who
love to think of loved ones who have “ entered
, into that within the vail.”
The author feels greatly flattered in the fact
that several gentlemen have concurred with him
in the belief that such a work will meet with
a hearty reception by our Southern people, and
have given assurance of their assistance in fur
j nishing many interesting facts in relation to
kindred and "friends who have fallen ; and most
respectfully do I solicit aid from all quarters,
sent by by which I may be enabled to
proceed with the work, and get it ready for pub
lication at an early day.
As it is a Southern effort, I respectfully re
quest Editors throughout the South to give this
a few insertions, sending a paper containing the
i same, and as soon as the work is published, each
one shall receive a copy gratuitously. “
