THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided In Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from Q mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from . mothers neglect 10
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suher,
and young women are so taught.
There Is q little truth and great deal
Of exaggeration in this. If q young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examine
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address Ii
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter from Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
my health became SO poor that I
had to leave school. Twas tired all tho
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. was also troubled
with irregularity Of menses. was
very weak, and lost SO much flesh that
nv friends became alarmed. My
mother, who Is q firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. I folloeed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as 1
ever was. have gained flesh and have
a good color. am completely cured Of
irregularity."

gard it their duty to serve their owners
regardless of the cause they espouse, it
went against the grain to strike at those
who wore the union blue. But my new
master was every inch a soldier and a
manly fellow. True hearts beat as
nobly under confederate gray as under
union blue. Thank God that the noblest
of them all beat together in loyalty
now! The fraternity of truly noble
souls asserted itself upon occasion, even
then.
One day about four weeks after my
capture, Col. Poindexter bore me on a
round of visits through the hospitals.
Past cot after cot we went, most of the
pale faces thereon being those of union
soldiers. Suddenly we came to one
upon which lay Col. Carroll, my COM
rade whom had mourned as dead. Col.
PoindeXter recognized him at once,
spoke kindly to him and spent some
time in conversation. l could have
leaped out of my scabbard in my anx-
iety to rejoin my brave comrade of the
union cause, but l could not. 1t is our
misfortune that we may change places
only at the will of others. Suddenly a
pleasant thing happened. Col. Poin-
dexter unbuckled me from his belt, laid
me on the cot beside Col. Carroll, said
Take your weapon, colonel, your cour-
age entities you to wear it" and walked
swiftly away. Col. Carroll actually
kissed me in his delight, and l verify
believe his recovery was twice as rapid
after that day. Soon after we were ex-
changed, and again led some of the boys
in blue as they fought for the good old
banner of the stars.
By and by we saw the end together.
At Appomattox the conquered banner
bent low to ours, and its fewer stars set
to rise no more forever. The gallant
ranks in gray melted away and scat.
tered to distant homes, and the ranks in
blue marched proudly homeward, glad
that the good cause was won. Not long
after our return there was a wedding
and Celestia Kirk became Mrs. Carroll.
OF course l was at the ceremony, and
the two brightest creatures there was
the pretty bride and myself L was
treated with distinguished considera-
ton, and soon after installed in this
place of honorin the new home, throne

period 1 shall soon tell you of. The
observed of all observers, people like t.
notice me, and the family tells my story
with pride in my record as genuine as
my own. That house was a center OF
patriotic influences, and l was usually
brought into all discussions CONCERNING
the war, flashing exclamation point
emphasizing gladly what Col. Carroll
said.
I saw my beloved master and hi.
sweet-faced wife grow gray, their hail
silvering until it resembled the bullion
decorations upon my scabbard and hilt

slow. Those dark spots upon my
polished blade IRE specters of blood,
shades of the precious drops which, in
more stirring days, were the red seals
of courage, signs manual of heroes,
itestifying to future generations their
knowledge of heroic deeds. In the days
of the Crusades, when mailed knights
went forth to battle for the cross, the
sword handle was held upright and by
that they swore to heroic vows. There
fore when they ended with the words
"said by the sword" it meant the un-
vanished truth. My handle, too, is a
cross. ''Said by the sword" now as
then means that testify truly. Mem
bers of the sword family are long lived,
maintaining their keenness and elias
ITCHY to old age. There are hundreds of
years OF service in me yet, and I may
flash in the forefront of many a gallant
charge when the sons and daughters of
this generation have turned to dust. I
flashed bravely in behalf of the old flag in
the civil war. How much worthier was
the oft-quoted sword of Bunker Hill
than the sword Of Gettysburg and APP
pomattox?
l was presented to Capt. Carroll, a
young volunteer, in 1861. A young lady
with eyes brighter than my flashing
blade or the jewels upon my hilt made
the presentation in behalf of the ladies'
and l saw at once by the way in which
the captain regarded her that he
thought more of the gift because of the
giver. She was petite, mere morsel
of humanity, but as dainty a morsel as
ever made a mark for Cupid's busy
bow. Small in quantity, frst-class in
quality, with a hear; of the largest
size in a body of the smallest, her lumin.
GUS soul flashed in majestic courags
through love-lit eyes, and she was every
inch model of the devoted patriot
women of 1861 and 1868.

To her with the eyes of gray.

In the southland far away"
"Was he a SOLDIER" the blue-eyed asked,
AS she gazed in the eyes Of gray;
And half unconsciously she grasped
Her hand in a loving way.
The eyes of gray lit up with pride;
Yes, he was a soldier true;
He fell at the battle of Shiloh
"Oh! there's where mine fell. too"
And then they clas sped each other and wept,
The eyes of blue and gray
Mingled their flood of sympathy

Eyes, they were true, our loved and lost,
True till their dying day;
And 1t matters not what they were on earth,
They are clothed In white to-day"
And when we came to the station,
A very small town by the way,
The men all stood bareheaded
AS the two went on their way.
They walked up the street together,
Like children hand in hand,
Out on the country highway
Where the old church used to stand.
Where their soldiers brave were laid;
Then they kissed and wept DER each grave
alike,
And together knelt down and prayed;
Then each told the other about the past.
How they lived with their children dear,
And agreed, while God would spare their
lives,
To meet there once year.
And then they walked back to the station,
These soldiers widows in tears,
Helped by each others sympathy,
To bear their burden of years.
Back to the west they Travelled,
To their children, kind and true:
One with eyes of the sweetest gray,
The other, the loveliest blue.

rife shot killed Spaniard In tree In the
American lines on Friday July !.
The fellows In the trees seldom fired at soldiers
who were close to them To do so would have
made their detection easier. so they shrewdly
chose spots from 200 10 800 yards from the main
road Three hundred yards the favorite
distance, but they were Indifferent marksmen.
Another proof OF their cunning was that as
often as possible they shot when volley flring
was going on. Thus the report Of their weapons
could not easily be singled out from the others
Some however. were three or four miles pc
hind the American firing line and they couid
not employ this device. Some fastened leaves
and bark to their clothing. for better conceai-
ment few were captured in American uni
forms, stripped, no doubt. from the dead.
Surgeons and litter bearers. passing as they
did constantly between the front and the dress
