SOLDIERS' HOMES.6
These "Homes" are the greatest boon conferred upon those who bared their breasts to the bullet and became crippled and infirm in the service of their country. Many of them will pass their last days in those quiet and beautiful retreats in peace and comfort, meeting death while imploring God's blessing upon those who in their warm and humane hearts devised so much of good for the aged and enfeebled soldier, and will then be borne by their friendly comrades to their graves in green and retired spots, beautifully improved and adorned in the shades of the native forest.
