The widow's Mite.

--A Southern matron writes to the Mobile Evening News, as follows: Hearing that a public loan is to be subscribed for, for the protection of our Southern homes, and the maintenance of Southern rights, and being a widow, poor, and, alas! unable to contribute even the small sum of fifty dollars from my limited means, I take the liberty of sending you with this note six silver spoons — relics of once prosperous days — as a free contribution to the Government, hoping that although of little value, they will be received from one who (did her means permit) would cheerfully give thousands for the support of a cause so patriotic and so holy. I beg you, Mr. Editor, to devise the means necessary for forwarding my humble gift to its proper direction.
