just as you would like to have it
when you enter boarding school; for
there is no place like home, and no
institution can conform to the wishes
of all it's inmates, but pursues the
course which will best subserve the
well-being of all who enter. Not
long since a bright boy entered n
of leading colleges with the in
t~ention, SO he said, of graduating,
but just because he found the dormi-
tories somewhat crowded with stu
dents and he was assigned to a room
with two other boys, he left for home.
Let us hope hat he will eventually
win a diploma, but that hope is
shaken by his fleeing from the very
first obstacle which presented itself
and his knowledge too that in all
probability the inconvenience was
only temporary makes us the more
doubtful of his future prospects.

Bill, Hypatia, Mrs. E. I. Hutchin-
son, Rip, Croaker, and Chatham

Two War Time Letters.

Dear Aunt Jennie W the
subject cold Times in the South"
seems to be so interesting perhaps
you would not object to a few ex-
tracts from letters written during
the war. To some of your readers,
they will be reminders of those times
and cen that inspired the writ
ing of them; to others they will state
historically events not chronicled in
any school history. I will begin
with an extract from a letter written
by the Rev. DR.. VIM. J. Hoge to the
Central Presbyterian in 1868:
A LETTER FROM DIR. w. J HoGE.
con Wednesday morning I set out
in company with the Rev. B. T. Lacy
to visit fredericksburg and it's bat
~tle-ground. When General Jackson
heard of our intention, he added to
his many kindnesses that of sending
us over on his horses. During part
of my stay in camp / had been his
guest. I will not do violence to the
sacredness of private intercourse by
publishing any account of the hours
l was permitted to enjoy in his So
ciety. But / am sure that it ought
not to wound his delicacy that I give
utterance once more to the senti-
ment which fills his soul: his sense
of the necessity and power of pray
er; prayer in the army; prayer for
the army; prayer by the whole coun-
try. / am sure it makes him glad
and strong to know how many of
the best people in the world pray for
him without ceasing, and not for him
merely, but for the great and just
cause for which God has raised him
UD. / am sure that his whole expec-
tation of success (and that he ex-
poets to succeed who that looks into
his firm and hopeful face, who that
sees the placid diligence of his daily
tolls, can for a moment doubt?) his
whole expectation of success hangs
upon two things which God has join
ed together, and which no man can
safely put asunder: natural means
earnestly used, and Gods blessing
earnestly sought. Fanaticism scorns
the use of the natural means, and

heretofore unrecorded. This fact we
appreciate. There is hid away in
some nook or corner in the homes in
our beloved, but neglected old State
many such documents if we would
stop in our hurry and search for
them and when found present them
to the readers of our department.
They would enjoy knowing more of
the States history but how shall they
know these things unless they see
them in print? While we have been
negligent in preserving the records
of historical events in our State we
are not far behind some of our sis
ter States in this respect; but should
we be content to be behind at all 9
Would it not be better for us to lead?
We trust that the day is not far dis
tant when we will realize this and
march forward in the procession of
progress. We are grateful to you,
Minnie, for the resurrection of these
old letters and the preservation of
their contents. We have a new con-
tributor this week and must say here
hat we appreciate her signing her
real name to the letter. Yes, the
children of to-day should feel CRATE
full because of their superior oppor-
tunities to obtain an education. The
time was when it took an ordinary
ckifI-~$Fal years to learn as much
as they can now with our present
school system learn in one school
term. Now don't you think that we
older people have a right to expect
much from the younger ones2 Let
us trust that we will not be disap-
pointed but live to realize the full
fruition of this hope. An unknown
friend writes an appendix to my let
ter of September End, of which we
are glad. He is right about discour-
agement being the rock on which
many educational advantages are
wrecked. Buckle on the whole armor
when you enter school and determine
to succeed. Succumb to no obstacle
but surmount it. I am rejoiced to
know that all our boys and girls as
well, can, if they will, obtain an edu-
cation. A young man well in his
teens told me not long since that he
had only two dollars when he left
home, but that he meant to go to
college and graduate. He is attend
ing a good preparatory school now
and hopes to enter college next fall.
It is needless to tell you that he is
working his way with indomitable
courage and that our belief in his ul-
innate success is assured. As he is
doing, others may do, even the girls.
This is the most surprising fact, for
we all remember when it was not so
when the girls of the family were de-
pendent on father or brother for the
money with which to pay their tut
ton. Now they are allowed the priv
ilege of assisting in the homework
and paying in part by so doing. Many
bright girls are availing themselves

ginia Regiment, and dated April IS,

1858:
s"The last meeting of the chaplains,
which came off yesterday, was one of
the most delightful I have ever at
tended. General Pendleton (who is
also the Rev. DIR. Pendleton of the
Episcopal church, was present. The
feeling remarks of this aged Chris
tian hero moved to tears eyes 'un-
used to weep; and the tears that
glistened in his eyes told that his
burning words came from a heart
touched with a deep sympathy in
this grand work. After tr~ansacting
a great deal Of important business
appertaining to our work, the meet
ing closed by passing a resolution,
a solemn act of worship to Almighty
God, pledging ourselves to pray for
each other and the success of our
labors, each day at sunset. The eter-
nal clock, far up in the everlasting
belfry of the skies, as it strikes the
departure of each successive day,
will remind us of our pledge to our
brethren and our God. Will not the
Christian Church, at this noted and
impressive hour, an hour so forcibly
reminding US of the ebbing away of
life, unite with us in asking Gods
blessing upon those who are to be
the future pillars of Church and
State?"
Is the request of Chaplain Nelson
and his brother chaplains out of date
now? Are Church and State so well
supplied with strong pillars that to
pray for more would be unnecessary?
Or is it thought that religion steps
down when she mingles with poll
tics? Not so thought St. Paul when
he wrote:
"Let every soul be subject unto the
higher powers. For there is no pow
er but of God: the powers that be are
ordained Of God. Whosoever resist
eth the power, resisteth the ordi-
nance of God, and they that resist
shall receive to themselves damna-
ton. For rulers are not a terror to
good works, but to the evil. Wilt
thou then not be afraid of the pow
er? Do that which is good, and thou
shalt have praise of the same: for
he is the minister of God to thee for
good. But if thou do that which is
evil, be afraid, for he beareth not
the sword in vain: for he is the min
lister Of God, a revenger to execute
wrath upon him that doeth evil.
Wherefore We must needs be sub
ject, not only for wrath, but also for
conscience sake. For, for this cause
pay ye tribute also: for they are
Gods ministers, attending continual
ly upon this very thing. Render
therefore to all their dues: tribute to
whom tribute is due; custom to whom
CUSTOM. fear to whom fear; honor
to whom honor. Owe no man any
thing, but to love one another: for
he hat loveth another hath fulfilled
the law" Romans 1918.

of God. Atheism SCOTS at the bless
ing of God, and presumptuously de-
ponds IN mere natural means. The
profoundest wisdom, which is but
another name for the simplest faith,
fixes its humble trust in Gods prom
ised blessing on the means He Him
self has put within our reach. Es-
pousing a righteous cause, it prays
for it with strong duplication, and
works and fights for it with might
and main.
"Let it cheer and stimulate every
cody m in our land to know
that our beloved general, whom God
has so often made victorious, has
expressed it as his belief that our
great successes are due not more to
the powers of our men on the battle
field, than to the prayers of our wo-
.gmen at the mercy seat.
"We found our soldiers at Freder-
icksburg all alive with religious ami
nation. A rich blessing had been
found upon the jealous labors of
the Rev. Mr.. Owen, Methodist chap
lain in Barksdale's Brigade. The
Rev. DR.. Burrows, of the Baptist
Church, Richmond, had just arrived
expecting to labor with him for some
days. As I was to stay but
night, DR.. Burrows c~ourteously in
sisted on my preaching. So we had
a Presbyterian sermon, introduced
by Baptist services, under the direc-
ton of a Methodist chaplain, in an
Episcopal church! Was not that a
beautiful solution of the mixed prob
lem of Christian union?
"The large edifce was crowded
with soldiers. They filed the chan
Gel, and covered the pulpit stairs.
After the sermon fifty or sixty of
them, l should think, came forward
with soldierly promptness, at the in
vitation of the chaplain for n
sation and prayer. An inquiry meet
ing is held for them every morning.
At that time it had been attended by
about one hundred persons.
"There are several incidents CON
nected with our visit to Fredericks-
burg on which I would like to dwell,
if time served. We spent hours in
riding over it's great battlefield and
through it's melancholy streets. We
stood at the spot made memorable
by the fall of General Thomas r.
r. Cobb-lawyer, statesman, author,
orator, gentleman, Christian, and
Presbyterian elder. He was struck
by a shell from the heights beyond
the river. A few hundred yards from
the tree by which he fell stands the
house in which his mother was born.
AS she looked out of those windows,
in the days of her girlhood, over this
fatal field, she knew not what a trag-
zeal interest it was one day to have
for her"
While the whole of DR.. Hoge's let
ter is very interesting, I am most
pleased with what he says concern
ing success: hat "it hangs upon two

WILL BUILD. ANYWAY
Mrs. Atkinson, With.H Own.
Means, Says She Will
Erect Hotel.

A new hotel will rise on the cite OF the
old st. Clair property, facing Capitol
Square. Mrs. A.D. Atkinson, that woman
Of remarkable energy and foresight, says
she will build whether the moned powers
of Richmond lend her any assistance OF
not The property at the corner Of Grace
and Ninth streets belongs to her, unen-s
numbered. with a clear title back to the
seventeenth century, and if it is impossi-
BILE to get the financial support to erect
modern, up-to-date, fire-proof structure,
hotel Of less proportions will be built.
Mrs. Atkinson says the need of new
hotel is almost imperative, and a 81 to 50
a day hostelry would prove lucrative
investment With a s25O,0oo fire-proof
structure, with 24O rooms, the net profits
should figure near $4,000 year. These,
she says, are not wild figures, as she has
based them on what she now makes at
the Lexington, on Main street. Murphy,
she believes, now clears probably sl0D, 00v
yearly. with from 2S0 to 240 rooms, while
in the Lexington, with 80 guest rooms the
profits are proportionate. So sure is Mrs.
athllSOn OIL a pTOutaUle investment lIdt
she will stake her last cent on the enter
prise.
What is believed to be needed in the
city is a fre-proof hotel Plans were
made for one to cost $4,000 The plans
call for structure having ground space
of 165 by $50 feet, with a height of eight
stories. In this proposed hostelry there
were to be 240 rooms. strictly modern in
conveniences, including a public ball
room, banquet hail. sun-parlor, and pri-
vate dining-rooms The site already pur-
chased by Mrs. Atkinson is acknowledged
to be one of the finest In Richmond, hav
ing on the east the open green Capitol
Square, and on the south historic old ST.
Paul's. Beside the cost of the hotel
proper, the furnishing would amount to
probably $4,000 or $4,000. Besides the
property, for which Mrs. Atkinson has
been offered $4,000, she has on hand con-
siderable cash to carry out the enterprise.
Mrs. Atkinson says Richmond financiers
now are mostly tied up in. railroad stocks,
and while they told her they felt sure the
prospective hotel would pay they were
too much involved to lend her any finan-
cial assistance. Other rich men are con-
tent to draw dividends on safe investment
stocks.
