WOMAN AS THE CENTRE OF HOME

The most perfect home lever saw was
in little house, into the sweet incense
of whose fires went no costly things. A
thousand dollars served for years liv-
ing of father, mother and three chill
dren. But the motiler was the creator
of q home. Her relation with her chill
dren was the most Eeautiful ever saw.
Even dull, common place man was
lifted up and enabled to do good for
souls by the atmosphere which this wo-
man created. Every inmate Of the
house involuntarily looked into her face
for the keynote of the day, and it al
ways rang clear. From the rosebud or
clover leaf which, in spite of her hard
housework, she always found time to
put by our plates at breakfast down to
the story she had on hand to be read in
the evening, there was no intermission
of her influence. She has always been
and always will be my ideal Of moth
er, wife, home-maker. If to her quick,
brave, loving heart and exquisite face
had been added the appliances OF
wealth and the enlargements of a wider
culture, hers would have been absolute
" the ideal home.. As it was, it was
| the best ever saw.

ut that moment we must attack. A few
shots on the side Of the enemy inform us
that some one is about to begin work
there, and in an instant our seven guns
were raining shell and canister upon the
coffee pots and stacked arms. Never
were men more completely surprised.
Soon they recover themselves, and a
regiment or more is moved in line Of
battle, without skirmishers, directly
upon the position Of our guns. The fire
of the guns and the dismounted men who
support them is more than they can
bear, and that line of battle sinks from
sight below the crest of an intervening
hill and makes its appearance no more.
Our left flank, which now extends
across the road to Catletts, is our weak
point, and against this strong attack
is directed. 1t must be repclled at all
hazards, for our only means OF egress
lies in this direction, Colonel Ruftin now
leads the First North Carolina Cavalry
in a mounted charge. He has camplete-
ly oyerridden regiment deployed as
skirmishcrs, most of whom have surren-
dered; but this charge is broken up by
the close line of battle beyond, and his
men return aud reform for another att
tack, but leave behind them for dead
their gallant leader. The enemy's ad-
vance is now checked, and seizing the
favorable moment our wagons and artil-
lery are withdrawn from the hills, and
passing in the rear of the epemy's posi-
ton we safely cross the road over which
