SOLDIERS' HOMES.5
Liberal pay and sometimes large bounties were the soldiers' benefits while in service; still it was but money, easily and soon spent. Pensions granted to the maimed and diseased may prove insufficient or may be improvidently wasted, but the National Home is the deserving soldier's "home, " and is a complete and lasting competence which can neither be misspent nor taken away, but remains a heritage from our country, "not for a day, but for all time.
