a wise economy of what food there was in the

And so this was a reunion of Unionlsts and

And the next day Professor Lemnei Adams

Hc.sock and the double bridal party started
together for Niagara, echoing in their hearts
the well-known words:
No more shall the war cry sever,

Under the sod and the dew.

The great majority of the wives of soldiers at the
present time were not married until after the close
of the war; for many Of Uncle Sans helpers in his
time of need were mere lads who but for the serv-
ice rendered would be in the prime of early man
hood, but who are now broken-down gray-haired
men. Their wives knew nothing of the hardships
of war, but for all that they have warm hearts
and true, and so have their mothers. And now let
me cite one more example, and then see if there is
justice in excluding any loyal woman of good
moral character
There is soldier in our midst who is loyal and
true and a member of the Grand Army. He is gen.
erous and charitable, especially to old soldiers, and
is the soul OF Camp-fres, Reunions and the like.
His wife is lovely little woman-the best of
