JEFFERSON DAVIS pays the following
eloquent tribute to Southern women
2" II asked for my sublimest idea Of what
woman should bein time Of war, would
point to the dear women Of my people,
as l have seen them during the recent
struggle. The Spartan mother sent forth
herfboy, bidding him return with honor
either carrying his sword. or on it. The
women Of the South sent forth their o u
directing them TO return with victory, or
TO return with wounds disabling them
from further service, or never return at
all. All they had was flung into the
confiict-beauty, grace, passion, refine
ment, the exquisite frivolities 30 dear to
the sex, were cast aside their songs, il
they had any heart to sing, were pstri-
otic their trinkets were flung into the
public crueible the carpets from their
floors were portioned out as blankets to
the suffering soldiers OF their country.
Women bred to every refinement Of lux
ury wore homespun made by their own
hands. AS nurses of the sick, as angels
of charity, as patient and beautiful
household deities, accepting every sRCri-
fee with unconcern, and tightening the
burden of war by their art and blandish-
ment, and labor proper to their sphere
the dear women of the South deserve to
take rank with the highest heroes of the
grandest days of the greatest countries

In every rope a v swung;

Ten shadowy lips said heavenly blue,
And ten accused the darker hue.

The locks thai round her forehead hung,
And turned her eye, a glorious one,

She liked all eyes but eyesof green;
She looked at me; what could the mean9
