And another sweet veice is hushed, to be heard no more. Many hopes are blasted, many joys are dead, but another angel rests in the besom of its leving Savior in the Paradise of God. "Death loves a shining and so day by day tbreugh the mystery of God's providence, wo are called upon to lament the departure of some cherished soul to the land of dreams and shadows. Youth and age and childhood fleet; the honored and the blest, of God aii Wait alike the inevitable hour when death shall claim thorn for his own When the flower is broken in its budding beauty and the hopes of the future, like withered leaves, fall thick in life's fateful tempest, we shrink, with fear from that ruthhss hand with its leaden sceptre, from whose power there is no earthly redemption, and in the anguist of our hearts we exclaim "Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at the wind's brath, Ard riars to stbut all, Thon hast nil seasons for thine own. death!"

Thoroughly prepared for the final hour she met it with a oa'mness worthy a soldier of the cross who had faught a good fight and who had finished the course aud who was ready to say of her Commander 1t is the Lord, let Him do what seometh Him best." Her remains were interred in the family 'burial ground at Shawboro Monday evening Our deepen sympathies are tendered the bereaved. Mr.C-D. Payne, publisher of the Union Signell, Chicago 111., writes; I never saw anything that would cure headache like Bradycrotine.

Pure blood Li the best beautifier.

I will reveal a secret to you. -1 have an ambition that I may go up and up the ladder of education until at last I may beprofesser at Bryn Mawr College. I would be a professor of telling anecdotes. This art is not a very high one, but it is a very useful one.

One class of anecdotes is that which contains only words. You begin almost as you please and talk and talk until your allotted time and close when you get ready. I will illustrate this by a story of an Irish and Scotch christening. In this Scotch-Irish village a baby had been born and a large number of friends had collected to see it christened. The minister, thinking this a good opportunity of displaying his oratorical nowers.
