When a GIRLS at home, even although
she may have to earn her own living,
she has very little care upon her mind,
and in cases where the daughter has
nothing to do except what may please
her fancy to perform, she is entirely de-
pendent upon her mother and assumes
no responsibility whatever. This is all
very nice for the girl, but l doubt if it
is wise, as the contrast when she is
married is Sc great, as to sometimes
cause her to regret having taken the
step. A mother who always takes
charge of everything at home and cares
so tenderly for her daughter as to re-
lieve her entirely from all anxiety, is
doing her too great a kindness. Ihave
heard young wives express desires to 90
back home again, not because they did
not love their husbands, or were I'M
happy, but because everything was so
different. Instead of leaving every
thing for mother, who was accustomed
to doing easily that which years of ex-
p%erience had taught her, they are COM
PEELED for the first time in their lives to
act independently-a course which is
sometimes very discouraging. 1t
is impossible to have nj hnot
but pleasure in this life, and we
should not grumble at the little trials
that only sweeten the joys when they
come. A married couple constitute a
little world by themselves in which
each one plays a separate part, and the
young wife must simply try to study
and perform her share in the most cred
liable manner. The sooner she falls
into the position she has chosen former
self the happier she will be, and she
will soon cease to wish for her old
home and single life. Even if she were
to 90 home for a while she would soon
wish to come back if her husband is a
kind and loving one. 1t is simply the
great chance that perplexes and be-
wilders her-from being taken care of
to take care of others. She is now n
of the heads of the household, the
queen of the home, to rule, counsel,
comfort, enlighten and cheer the fam
lily circle of which she is the entire.
She knows this before she marries, but
she then sees nothing but the bright
side, and does not stop to think that
all the pleasures of that little circle
must be earned before they can be
enjoyed. But l do not want to brighten
young ONE from entering the mar
riage relation, as it is the happiest life
when rightly lived. The young wife
soon cheerfully accepts the inevitable
responsibilities that are a part of her
new life, and feels proud of her ability
to assume them. Ask that same wife a
year or two hence and she will laugh at
herself for the fears she had on enter
ing her new sphere, and will assert
that she would not want to be single
Husbands should bear patiently
with their young wives, and not expect
them to do in the same manner what
their mothers can do only after many
years of labor. 1t is a terrible thing
for a young wife to hear that my
mother can do so and So" When she
is his mothers age she may do better.
Mutual forbearance, a study of each

In order TO complete the concentration of the

Galena. Each general manages his own corps
as seems to him best. There is no general-in-
chief on the field.
The sun goes down and night comes on. At
8 o'clock the uproar dies away. Lee has suf-
fered another repulse with terrible loss.
HARRIsoN's LANDING.
Retreat to Harrison's Landing" is the order
from Mcclellan. 1t is six miles down the river,
and during the night the army makes its way
to that point, where steamboats, are arriving
with supplies.
Although" says General Mcclellan in his
report, +" the battle of Malvern was complete
victory, it was necessary to fall back still far
ther in order TO reach q point where our sup
plies could be brought to us with certainty"
That was not the opinion of some of his off,
GERS. General Martindale was SO angry that he
shed tears.
Al, Philip Kearney," shouted that general,
ENTER my solemn protest against this order to
retreat, We ought, instead, to march into Rich
mond. In full view of all the responsibility of
such declaration, / say to you, all such an
order can only be prompted by cowardice or
treason
IN the morning the Union army is at Harri-
sons Landing and the Confederate army NOV
ing towards Richmond During the seven
days fighting Mcclellan has lost twenty thou
sand and Lee twenty-five thousand men.
END OF THE CAMPAIGN.
The campaign for the capture of Richmond
was over. 1t was undertaken against the judg-
ment of President Lincoln, who could see with
his plain common sense what General McClel-
Ian, with all his military education, could not
see-that the Confederate army would be
stronger at Richmond than it possibly could be
at Centreville; that it would be easier for Nc
Clellan to strike a blow at the enemy near
Washington than at Richmond, far from his
base of supplies and in the enemy's country.
General Mcclellan planned the campaign. It
had resulted in failure. He had waited at
Yorktown a month when he might have gone
on to Richmond. He had made the mistake of
dividing his army in front of Richmond and
had been forced to retreat to James River. His
soldiers were dispirited. They were losing
confidence in him; for he had not been present
in any of the battles, and during the battles of
Glendale and Malvern, instead of being on the
field, he was on one of the gunboats. He had
still nearly ninety thousand men. General
Lee had lost more than McClalan, but the
latter, instead of moving on toward Richmond,
or instead of crossing the James-as he might
have done-and Selling Petersburg, threw up in
trenchments at Harrison's Landing and called
for re-enforcements.

WHAT BECAME OF THE BATTERIES.

Raith's brigade, in support of Waiter
houses battery, defended it stubbornly, but
upon the fall of its leader was driven back
by Stewards brigade leaving three of their
guns on the ground. Burrows battery from its
position in the center, opened brisk fire, but
was soon captured, while Schwartz's battery,
more successful. silenced a Confederate bat
terry, and its supports, after repulsing a charge
made by Russells brigade, brought the battery
off the field by hand, with the loss
of one caisson. McAllisters battery had a
raking fire across an open field, which it
strewed with Confederate dead, but was forced
to retire with the loss of one piece Taylor's
battery, after performing signal service for two
hours, was withdrawn with the loss of two
caissons. Behr's battery, in position on the
Purdy road, in rear of McDowells brigade, on
the fall of its commander fell into the hands
of the Confederates Finding his position ex-
posed on the left and in imminent danger of
being cut off from the remainder of the army,
General Sherman gave the order at 1920 a. m.
to fall back to new position, leaving the
camps in possession of their hungry antago-
nists

Az OPPORTUNITY LOST.

Again Mcclellan lost an opportunity. AT
that sunset hour if the whole line had been
ordered to advance it would have swept all be-
fore it. Napoleon at Austerlitz improved just
such an opportunity; but Mcclellan was not
Napoleon. He WAS not on the field, but on one
ofthe gunboats in James River, four miles away.
Neither at Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, Mechanics
ville Gaines Mills, Savage's Station, nor at
Glendale had he been on the field to improve
opportunities.
The sun went down upon the CORY field lost

lie had committed great blunder in dividing
his army. jackson, with more thar one-half
of the army, had been easily kept at bay along

expected, he had suffered a signal defeat dim
