Trying Times.

--The large number of ladies employed in Government service must find it very difficult to support themselves on their limited salaries. Some of them are the wives of soldiers in the army, with small children to take care of and heavy house rent to pay. Ought not their more wealthy neighbors to look after them this winter, and see that they have food and fuel? And will not the public stores supply them with necessaries at moderate prices? Many of these ladies are highly educated and intelligent, and prefer to suffer rather than make their situations known. Not being of that class who jump at every benevolent offer, whether they are needy or not, they get no assistance from the public, and will get none, unless those who know their real wants will make them known. Soldiers' wives must be provided for, and every benevolent association should see to them first of all.
