er than now Our Ladies Soldiers Aid Society
which has been for some time past in sort of
comatose state, must be revivifed and restored
to its original state ofactiyity. 1t viii not do
to say or feel, that the Society has your best
wishes, but you have worked as long as you
can afford to. The declaration is not truths
full in either respect You cannot wish the So
ciety to prosper and continue its good work,
without you are willing to make your wish
practical by actual assistance. You can afford
to work longer and even more industriously than
you have done yet. You are still blessed with
health and strength, and Notwithstanding the raw
ages ofthis most wretcheI civil war, you are
blessed with pecunary prosperity aud therefore
you can afford to labor for the cause eff hum an

it is not in the nature Gilman to allow a great,
powerful. prosperous and happy nation to be

cannot be abandoned. The sons and daughters
ofthe heroes and patriots ofI776, cannot afford
to let the light of freedom, kindled on Bunker
Hill go out in darkness, tor the want of a little
more effort. Think ofthese Things, when you
