woman among us to be ignorant wholly
of the plan and system Of our govern
lnent. to be unable to speak intelligently
of the great questions before Congress,
or to know nothing of what is meant by

her boys something about our army and
navy is. too, soon going to have boys
knowing more than she knows. Nor

intelligent or SO careless Of the vast re-
coil and retrogressige force on the whole
human race by war thar she cannot show
her children the advantages of peace,
even in its most obvious relations, and
