It was the writer's pleasure (ac companied by several friends) to vis it the Soldiers Home, near Rich mond, Va., not long since. We were kindly met by the Superinten dent, who, after chatting awhile,, in troduced us to a gentleman, who took us through the buildings. Every thing was in order, both indoors and out. The grounds are lanro and are covered with , nice shade trees and w flowers. When we arrived many of the "old soldiers" were scattered jibout under the trees. (Think there aro 170 inmates -there now.) In the first building we entered, two of the rooms were filled with war relics and cariosities. 1 Gen. Jackson's horse, "Old Sorrel,'' was in one room (besides many Oth er thing9) ; ho is indeed a curiosity ; one could almost imagine him aUyc, bis appearance is so dife like. A pleasant time was spent eisamining different articles from wlrfdh we gained information which was xiotb useful and entertaining. This build ing also contained a readingrooo- for the sdvli?re, besido other raorns. We went 'from t here 'to the Hospital which is a large, airy building. Ye were also ki.iuiiy -welcomed th'fe. It almost mi.'cs one's heart ache wilh.pity to. see some of the'pbftr old soldiers so helpless. One we saw propped, up in Led, was so helpless that he could not eVen feed himself (had 'been so fr along time), greeted us with a smile and seemed perfect ly happy, so much for his religion. Though poor, diseased and helpless, his trust in'Gcxl makes him bear his trials with patience. What a lesson we should learn from him, when we become impatient. We saw another patient, who bail been helpless, for seven years, from Rheumatism, could use only one arm, from his el bow down, even the back of his head Was stiff ; he was indeed an oUjectof pitty. He has every care and atten tion, but he is to be pitied more than theotherone, for no bright gleam of light from love to God finds a dwell ed .. iug place irx his heart to brightcu his sick room, or cheer his darfc hours. Vctvisitcd many other rooms, found them neat, the patients cleanly clad, and the beds as nice and white as one could wish ; saw the soldiers as they went in to dinner, each with his cup, knife and fork. The dining room was clean, the tables nice, and plen ty of goo I wholesome food served. Passed by many of the CoUages, whose doors and windows being open we could see the neat appearance within ; also went through the Chrpel which is a nice building, saw. many other nice things which space will not allow me u write about.

El)J An Inquiry. :fFor the IMrdn aDd Gfcaner.J Tor mariy months yonr correspond ents have -been absorbed by the Third party r,nd by Col.E. G. Ilar rell. Possibly there arc ;omc or your readers that would like to read about something else. A few day e ago, a gentleman -submitted a ques tion to me, which I want to submit to your readers have for some time been expelling every. member who engaged in the liquor business. Thefr reason for doing this A7as, that selling liquor as a beverage was not only in opposi tion to the command of Christ, -but that its -whole tendency was to im pede ami stop the progress ofCiinst ianit3 and that no man could be a Christian and a liquor seller at the same ti oie. My inquiry is this: .Does not the man who ad vocale3' the sale of liquor as a beverage, and assists in estabMi ing the liquor bus:ne3 for the mon- c' benefit that he hopes to get from sells it to hlnr? Are they not bale fellows well met' six davs !n the, weeJr:? Ouht they not to be so' ou the seventh ? Will not the fepiriu that are similar and the natures that are congenial hire be so hereafter ? This inquiry Is submitted to all chareh members, and especially to those who sympathize with, or openly asMst others in establishing the li quor business. n. t. AV. Seaboard, N. C.
