WOMEN'S WORK.

We used to think that the work of
woman was to keep the house, rearing
the children. do the sewing and arrange
things generally for mans comfort and
convenience. That was long time ago.
Of late she gets ahead of man in some
ways-many ways indeed A young
lady, resident of Louisa county not
many years ago-she may keep it up
still-made good deal of money rails
ing violets and shipping them north,
where they sold at handsome profit.
Raised under glass in the mild climate
of Virginia they were grown with little
care. A more delightful occupation could
scarcely be imagined and the profits
were good.
Some time ago we were talking with
an old lady of neighboring county.
Said she, cit is usually thought that a
woman left alone is poor manager.
was left widow at the close of the
war, my husband slain on one the of hun
dred battle-fields of Virginia. widow
with three small children and mort
gage of 81. 900 on this farm. l have
paid that debt and given all my children
a college training with my own exer-
tions on this farm" And we know of
others who, left helpless and almost
homeless at the close of that dreadful
struggle, have battled with what seemed
a hopeless fate, and carrying the burden
of large family, have raised and
educated these and acquired COM
potency meanwhile. War is indeed
cruel, but out of it came in numberless
instances exhibitions of character, of
dauntless courage, of endurance, fore
thought, skill that accomplished more
than money could have done. For while
doing the work of making a living and
acquiring means for the education of
the family, it established a character
worth a world to her children. So
much is this true that it has seemed to
us that if child is to lose one of the
parents it is better to lose the father
than the mother. If one will look
around he will see many illustrations of
the truth of this-see that some of the
best of our young people have been the
children of widows left in what seemed
helpless states, and the very chance
that placed them thus gave them endur-
ance and tenacity of purpose.
