Some of, you, perhaps, may have already made, and seen, -and sent these to your soldier friends. Others may rot, and would like 'te know how they are made, and something of thi.ir contents. = Well, some are made of oil.eloth,..With 'various pockets: and to fold up much after the -fashion of a pocketbook.

A much less offering will be both usefUl and very acceptable. One little girl sent her photograph along. I saw the soldier afteinrards who received it It seemed to, please him very much. Here, there are no little girls; and it is refreshing to, soldiers, who have littic' tors at home, to see even the pictures' of such; In each one of the comfort-bags there was a letter. A.Ohaplain has lately pub-. lished an article speaking of what home 'friends can do for , the soldiers. He calls at tention especially to two things—prayer, and the writing of letters. The soldiers ought never to be forgotten in our prayers. A captain, the other day, said he thought the preservation. of so.many of his company, ihrough so many •and great , dangers, was in answer to the prayers of friends at-11mile. Oh, remember the soldiers at a throne of grace 1 And much also maybe done for them by writing good letters. There. is a . kind of army correspondence that , does not de serve encouragement. But good letteriare a pleasure, and, in many eases, have been a great blessing to our country's . kite de fenders.
