NOTED WOMEN At HOME.
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe in the
Honored Peace of Old Age.

Adversely and hardship would seem to be
almost essential to the best development of
human character. A girl or boy whose child
hood is surrounded with all the advantages
that love and affection can devise, may ulti-
mately attain to great things; but the induce
ments to genuine effort, and the best incen-
tives to ambition, are either weak or wanting
in such lives. Some lives, however, seem
destined to rise irrespective of either poverty
or wealth.
On the corner Of Bond street and Broad
way, in the early part of the century, lived a
family named Ward, to whom was born a lit
tie girl, who was named Julia, after an aunt.
When she was six years old her mother died,
and with her brothers and sisters she was
placed under the care of a relative, who came
to make her home with them and the widowed
father. This relative, who had peculiar ways
Of her own, used to dress the children in
strange fashion, causing comment among the
neighbors at the ridiculous sight; but Julia
did not care, whatever the others did, about
the style Of her clothes. Her head was filed
with beautiful thoughts; her eyes were often
lifted to the blue sky and the waving trees
overhead, and the practical aunt set her down
as "a little sentimental chit" who would

had canteen like the other soldiers, could
be seen creeping forward on his hands and
knees, the drum at his back making him
particularly conspicuous. We understood
his purpose, and after he had refused the
appeals to come back we sent up cheer to
encourage him. II
Solid shot and shell and -musket bullets by
thousands crashed and shrieked and whistled
across this space; but Neddy Watts paid no
heed to them. His purpose was to save and
not to destroy. He reached the wounded
ooeman, and We could see him hold his can
teen to the gray lips until the burning thirst
was stayed. His mission over, Neddy
left the canteen in the mans hands and turn
ed to make his way back to the lines OF the
Fifteenth. At that instant shell exploded
not five feet away. The boy leaped to his feet,
threw up his hands, and, staggering back,
fell dead in the arms of the man to whose
rescue he had gone.
