those things which conccro Christ's

be pleased to know something of this

few minutes this pleasant moruiug iu
writing of these things.

under the chargo of ladies whose duty
it is to see that the food is properly
prepared and of a suitable quality for
the sick languishing ones. We have
plenty of help—willing, able men—
detailed for that purpose. Our sup
plies, as far as possible, are drawu
from the commissary otherwise, are
furnished by the Commission and
thus many a delicacy reaches the
bojra which could aoi in any other
way.
We prepare everything which appe
tite could crave or fancy suggest.
And I think that, in reality, the pa
tieute receivo better care aud better
food than they would at home, or mat
ny of them at least. All that the at*
tention of skillful surgeons and faith
ful nurses cau do for their comfort
and recovery, is checrfully rendered.
All things are neat aud orderly.

Many have said aad still say, that

dictions and prayers follow her daily.
Her name must bear a high luster' in
the annals *f history. From what I
have learned of her, I am certain that
many ill-natured things have been
written and said of Mrs. W. which
were quite without foundation. Iowa
may well be proud of her.
I have learned more of the realities
of life and death since I tave been
here than I could in many years at
home, and it seems to me that if our
friends at home could realize an iota
of the suffering which I see every day,
they could uot be so carelessly happy
that they would strive to lay some
sacrifice npon the altar to relieve it.
There are bnt very few Iowa soldiers
here—but there is one, or was, in whom
I have felt a great interest. 1 saw
him yesterday afternoon aud ho was i
already on the journey up the shining
path which leads to tlie pearly throne'

and all because it is for the country,
for our dear flag, for the rights of this

There aro many things of interest
here but wu go about very little, there
are so many things which need to be!
done that we caunot allow ourselves
much recreation. 1 have visited the
cemetcry to see our soldiers' graves.
They ate in rows, close together, with
the uame, Company and Kegimcnt
marked on a board at the head. The!
graves are all grown up to weeds
the slabs arc falling away, and soon
there will be no marks by which an
anxious friend could ideutify the grave
of a loved one. I saw the grave of:
the rebel General Zollicoffer, and ma-i
ny very fine vaults and monuments. It!
has been a very beautiful place, but
is now sadly neglected. I am desir-j

Saving Seed Corn.
If there is one thing that will bear
repetition every year, in the calamus
of a newspaper, it is the exhortation
to farmers in this corn growing coun
try, to pick and care fur their seed
corn in due season. Nothing can bn
more vexatious than the result of
planting poor seed, and it is soms
tliing, in ninety-nine cases out of
up the ears, aud hang up where it

ia
not tbs
shadow of un excuse. Yet nothing
is more frequent thau the necessity of
a second planting, of missing hills
all over tho field. It is a loss of time,
a joss of seed, aud a loss iu the yield.
The time is fast approaching when
seed coru should be gathered. The
amount needed by most farmers is
not large, and of course it caunot con
sume any very great amount of tims
to do tho woik of gathering iu proper
I season—uot half so much a» to
r*»
i plant where poor seed fails to grow.
Aud this matter of having good seed
corn is a very simple one. Go early
iuto the field, aud select the ears upon
which the husk has first ^rowu brown
and opeued. Take ouly such as are
well filled out at the cud, and on which
the kernels are hard and flinty, and
generally large aud well formed.
Strip the husks back, and trace

doing, uot only the best corn may be
selected, but it is cared for so that
it will not heat aud mould as Corn
in
the bin is always liable to do.
Such
seed corn will always germinate.
