Therrs was a holy mission, and the soldier will aver bear thera in kind remembrance. The hour . made them strongs and to the wounded sufferers they became miniaterinr; angels, indeed.' ITara the head of a Federal soldier was raisd, and as he felt the soft touch of a woman's land upon his brow, the lips moved, wki! the eyre gre 1 glassy, and he fain'tly umrinured words of luve names dear iu his far off Northern home.
