Write without fear without fee, TO Dr.
r. V. Pierce, Buffalo, \. Y.
Dr. Pierce's offer of free consultation
by letter is not to be classed with the
spurious offers of free medica advice
made by men or women who are not
physicians and cannot legally practise
medicine. Such advice is not only worth
less, but may be dangerous.
In little over thirty years, DR.. R. V.
Pierce, chief consulting physician TO the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, II. Y, assisted by his staff Of
nearly score of physicians, has treated
and cured hundreds of thousands Of weak
and sick women.
The offer of DR.. Pierce puts at the free
service of women, not merely medical
advice, but the advice of a successful
specialist in the treatment and cure of
diseases peculiar to women.
Sometimes a dealer tempted by the
little more profit paid by less neritorious
preparations, will offer a substitute for

MOTHERS HOUR.
A Time for Confidence and
Counsel.

When the children's hour is thing of
the far away past, because there are no
more little ones to have their evening
frolic or bedtime story, the hour once
devoted to them becomes the mothers
hour. 1t is an hour in which the young
woman takes her old place at her moth
er's knee as she was wont when she
listened to the evening story. But now
she tells the story to the mother; the
story of her day, her fears, her hopes,
her ideals. Happy is that daughter who
can come to her mother as her best
friend, as sure of her compassion as of her
counsel.
1t is often so very different. The
mother does not invite the shy conf
dence of the growing girl. She comes
to womauhood and between her and her

The history of those eventful days is
the history of the illustrious parsonage

As the chief of fallen cause, Jeffer-
son Davis must bear for a season that
burden which the Fates ordain for
those who sink beneath their frown

that our leader should have surrender

was against us. But we must remem-
Der that to his steadfast and heroic soul
there was no middle ground between
right and wrong. He stood for the lib
critics of his countrymen-for those
rights which men of our race must
have Or perish in the attempt to attain
them!
And even If the Invader had asked
the terms on which our chief would
cease Resistance, the spirit Of his reply
could have been only that which old
Cato sent to all-conquering Caesar:

Jefferson Davis knew, as no one else
knew, the real nature and magnitude
of the crisis which the South had to
confront.
He was dealing with revolutionary
faction which was not amenable to the
ordinary dictates of reason and Of right

Union, and reviled the Constitution

took its passions for its conscience, and
its freakish tancies for abiding princi-

triotic appeal for Constitution and I'm

tion as it ought to be'-a faction which
no cOmprct could bind, which no obli-
cation could restrain-a faction which

The old simplicity and the old integ-
rity of the republic have passed away,
The ancient temple of our liberties
rested on many pillars, and thence de-
rived its safest strength. But those
stately pillars-their soverei5n virtue
gone-have become as the slime into

ed the nondescript which they now be-
hold-this thing of shreds and patches
this mock of sovereign states this
federation of political nOnentities
which no two statists in the land can
agree upon, or define alike.
Potential classes are now longing for
a change; they are earnest in their
desire for what they call "a strong gov
eminent" And it may be that their
warnings will not be in vain. The cor
ruption of a republic is the germina-
tion of an empire. A period of domes
tic turbulence or foreign war would
render usurpation as easy as the repiti
ton of a thrice-told tale. Political
speculations would then reassume their
old'names-incivism, sedition, construc
tive treason-and the familiar remedies
would be applied-press censorship, the
star chamber, lettres de-cachet, and bu-
reaus of military justice

was wonderful.
At the battle Of Fredericksburg,
company 1, of 2lst regiment Missis-
sippi Vols, we're on picket duty in
Fredericksburg on the bank of the
Rapahannock river from the railroad
bridge up in or near the centre Of
that noted city, then all the winter
after the first battle of that city until
spring, or until Hooker made his
boasted move on to Richmond, he
Shelled this town all day, burned sew
eral buildings with the shells, killed
several Of men laying fat on the bank
Of the river with no protection what
ever. Then we lay until dark when
the news came that the enemy had
rOped the river below and above
town, had laid pOntOon bridges under
the protection Of 100 pieces Of artil
lery which doomed all day. Fred
ricksburg was riddled, we were then
ordered up town and had quite bat
tie in the streets, About one O'Clock
at night we were ordered out of town,
fell back and let them have the city.
We took our position ON Mayre's
Heights, dug with our bayOnets, pits
which protected us much. Hooker,
Lee and Jackson were into it at
Charlottesville, the roar of artillery
could be heard by US. Sedgwick had
been left, and we put a brigade Of
about 1.200 men in his front, he got
his men over, artillery, etc, and COM
menced his attack on US early in the
day.; we held him until about II or 1
O'Clock, when he broke through the

COLONEL CUSSoNS' ADDRESS.
Colonel Cussons as soon as the ap-
plause subsidized, said:
Friends, Comrades, Ladies and Gen
tlemen:-On the 18th day Of March,
1861-thirtY- seven years ago today-a
nation was born. Calmly, unobtrusive-
ly, majestically, it came into being by
virtue of the unconstrained political as
sociation of seven sovereign States
which had withdrawn their adhesion
from the Federal Union. At that time
no publicist of note denied or doubted
the absolute right of those sovereign
powers to thus exercise their vital func-
ton of sovereignty.
On that fateful day 1 sat on the por-
tico of the State Capitol at Montgomery
and noted the sedate, yet earnest faces
of that magnificent assemblage of gen
tlemen who had been delegated by
their several States to adopt a Confed-
crate constitution.
There was no bravado there; no spir-
it of wanton defiance, either in word or
act. Their deliberations were marked
by a grave and temperate earnestness,
by realizing sense of the momentous
occasion which had called them togeth-
er. They met the demand of the hour
with the patient diligence, the stead
fast and serene fortitude of their race.
And l said
"If the Lincoln government hall at
tempt to despoil these people of their
inherited right to govern themselves by
lawful methods, in their own way, then
must there come conflict which will
not cease while the power of resistance
remains-a conflict which will either
vindicate for ages yet to come the great
American principle of peoples God
given right to self-government; or else
that principle, wounded in the house Of
its friends, will become byword and a
mockery throughout all lands, and to
the remotest times.
Four years later, the drift of events
had borne me again to the banks of
that same river, and made my lonely
camp with a little remnant of Forests
gallant men. But there remained in
all that region no trace of any familiar
thing. The nation had perished. Four
years of mortal strife, of immortal
glory, of unfading renown. Four years
of fortunes tickle moods, her smiles and
frowns-of hopes and memories, and
binding tears and sorrows which
would not be assuaged. The nation
had perished. Her armies, worn and
wasted by victories, were reduced to
fragments which could no longer form
battle line. Her opulent cities were
