A TRUR IIELPNgET.

A touching story is told of the wife
of a noted general, in the army. He
was graduate of West Point, and had
a national reputation as an engineer
He married a young, beautiful girl who
AS soon as she became his wife, reSolv-
ed to be real "helpmeet" to him.
Finding that his work required
vast amount of calculation, she set to
work to qualify herself to aid him hy
the study of the higher mathematics
During the first fifteen years of their
marriage, she WAS his constant compan.
ion, and assisted him in all the caloula-
tions reaNircd by some of the most
important engineering work in the
country.
As her boys grew up, she fitted them
for college, studied with them under
their FIench and German masters,
joined in all their sports and plans.
"Mother' was not only their teacher,
but their intiaate friend and conf.
dent.
Many women feel that they have
fulfilled their duty to their children
when they nurse them through teething
measles, etc, and have embroidered
their dresses through infancy. Then
they hand them over to the tailor, the
dress-maker, the teacher, and to what
ether influences circumstances happen
to develop.
This lady kept step with her boys on
to manhood, held them close to her b,
every tie of taste, of mind, and of
soul
The war broke out, and father and
sons went to tho battlefield. She
could not follow them any longer; she
could do nothing but pray for them.
One of the boys was killed. Two
months later. the other son and his ia
ther died, side 10y side within an
hour.
When the news was told her, she
folded her hands. MY work is done
God has no more use for me here, she
said. In few more hours she was
dead, the physicians said Of a broken
heart, if ever there was one.
We hear constant plaudit5 Of wo-
men who lead aggressive public lives;
but the simple true story Of this gentle
christian-lAdy has also its meaning and
its lesson.
