They must be much more careful to avoid hurting sensibilities, and must do without many little services to which they have been accustomed.

PORTER'S RIDE TO THE FRONT.
For many years she has known and admired Miss Barton and against the advice of her friends had resolved to help Miss Barton in her task of succoring the sufferers in Cuba.
During the second day's fighting Mrs.Porter, escorted by a general whom she has known for many years, rode almost to the firing line.
Bullets whistled about her head, but she rode bravely on until her curiosity was satisfied.

Then she rode leisurely back to safety.

She came back filled with admiration of the colored troops.

She described them as being "brave in battle, obedient under orders and philosophical under privations." Thanks to Mrs.Porter, the wife of the President's private secretary.
Mrs.Porter is one of heaven's blessings, sent as a messenger of "The Ship" earth, to testify in America what she saw of the Negro troops in Cuba.
