A Hint to House wives.

It is perhaps unnecessary to remind
our lady friends that the federal soldiers
will need large amount of jellies, pickles
and cordials for long time to come, and
that now is just the season to prepare
these articles; but for fear some will for.
get the opportunities of the season, we
just drop this hint. trawberries are
past, but raspberries and currants are
now ripe, and blackberries, the most
healthy and invigorating of all, will soon
be had in profusion. Every one who is
able to do SO ought to consider it sacred
duty to make all the preserves and jellies
they possibly eau, for the use of our sick
and wounded soldiers. Pickles are highly
valued by men in camp and now is just
the time to be preparing them. Native
wines are very valuable in many cases of
sickness, and while currants, berries and
grapes last, good supply should be laid
in. The young men who remain at home
will be glad to pick the fruit and do the
squeeziug-of the berries we mean-if
their young lady friends will put them
up to it, and attend to the sweetening
aud preserving Of the wines and cordials.
Almost every one mi ght do more in this
line than they are accustomed to, if they
would only think of the matter in its
true bearings and exert themselves lit.
tie. We are glad to sec that fruit of all
kinds is go abundant this season, and we
trust that every lady will embrace her
opportunities s.-Sprinaisld Republican.
