For the Cnledon ian

On the return of their sister, Qhe late lumented
Miss RACHEL SMIrH) as a corpse 10 the house she
had so loved
Gan is not over with earth's broken tie;
Where where should sisters love f not high?"
Mas. llEMANs.
The tie is broken--the tried love ofyears-
The love Of youth, of age, Of smiles, of tears
Is severed-Earth may never give again
Your sister back to share your joy pain;
Her vsice is hushed and heard no more her tread,
Within your silent home admit the dead
Ope wide the portals where her cheerful voice
Was wont to bid the strangers heart rejoice,
To give her kindred welcome, and TO share
The suffers woe and grant the supplinnts prayer
There in her happy home that toas, she goes
Unfelt, her own-unfeeng others woes
Her own-she has none now-the qui ct sleep
She sumbers in she has forgot to weep;
Nor mourns she more past joys forever fed,
The friends she wept with you amidst the dead,
Who went before her through deaths gate 10 light
The pathway dark TO us-to her now bright.
How, did life still within her pulses burn,
Would her warm heart have joyed at this return;
But now no answering love your eyes may seek,
No glow of feeling color that pale cheek,
No pain awake her from that peaceful sleep
She weeps no more, and ye ye only weep.
fe weep whose memory will wander back
The path ye trod with her-your childhoods track
Whose memory alone recalls each form
That made with s,past hours with gadness warm
And asking where they are! Faith points on high
And answers Heaven uniies Earih's broken tie.

uTHY WILL BE DONE"

This expression in the prayer uttered by our saw
Tor, comprehends all the Christians duty. Ills will
Is our duty. In all situations and under every cir
cumstance in which we mny be placed, we should
be ready to say from the heart, THY will be DONE
His will is happiness best and highest good
in the end If Is bitter at present, it will turn out
TO be our greatest joy and goryir not in this world
in the next II may be His will for 10 have tribua-
ton, SORROW, disappointment, and anguish; but If we
have heaven with all its joy and glory hereafter we
can say with the Apostle, "These light Affections,
which arc but for moment, work for US far more
exceeding and eternal weight Of glory" In this may
Ills will be done His will is the result of infinite
wisdom. II is full OF benevolence, love. and mercy
His proydences may be dark to yet they will ac-
compsh the wisest and best good TO us in the end.
They are less than the dealings Of father to his
children. IF he afflcts il is all right. He does as
Ihe best Of friends not rs an enemy. We should
enquire to know what is His will, and be ready 10 do
il, let il be what mays for in this lies our happiness.
To humbly submit to His will in all things, as His
children, is duty; not because it is unavoidable,
but because it is cheerful and delightful. II we
have orr names cast out as evil and have all
OF evil spoken of falsely for his names sake let us
rejoice and bo exceeding glad, for great is reward
in heaven. 1t is best to do His WILL let it cost what
it may, even though it cost the best of friends,
good name, or all we possess hold dear on earth
He 10 the best friend we have, and more to than
all the world beaide.-John the Baptist.

Mr. EprroR.--We have been expectIng,lor some
time past to see in the columns of your valuable pa
per something regarding the temperance movements
in our town. For be assured there has been some
thing done, worthy the cause which is doing so much
good throughout the country. am happy to say OF
Barnet that where there have been meetings holden
all have showed their good sense, and good feeling
by subscribing to the pledge, and cordially assisting
the committee in their efforts to keep the cause in
motion
Tho committee have been astonishcd at their own
Much praise is due the ladies, for their invaluable
aid-always ready in every good word, and work.
in the cause of tempera they have proved them
selves to be phianthropsts in the literal sense ofthc
term.
Many who have long kept aloor from the causes
have given us their names and influence, and many
wives, and mothers have thanked God, for the good
effects of temperance through temperance societies
The committee would acknowledges their ohlign-
tons 10 the Rev. Mr. Campbell, Of the Scotch Pres.
Church, for his successful labors in their ranks
And may the time come when all our minis
tors may look upon intemperance in its true bear
ings, on individuals. and churches, and remember
that they are wachmen set to sound the alarm of
the cnemy's approaches.
Our town, believe, is free from grog shops a
small scale, but it must be acknowledged, that one
store in town yet deals in this fearful destroyer Of
human happiness But temperance people look
ing for better things in that part of the town and that
speedily.

feeling AT the north in favor Of AnnexOton-TIE NRy

RALEIGH, April II, 1914.
GENTLEMEN: Subsequent to my departure from
Ashland, in December last, received varons com
munications from popular asseuIbages and private in
dividuals requesting expression of my opinion up
on the Annexation of Texns to the United States. I
have forbornc to roply to them, because it was not
very convenient, during the progress Of my journey,
and FOR other do think it proper, un-
necessarily, TO introduce at present element
rnong the other exciting subjects which agtate and
engross the public mind, The rejection Of the over
ture Of Texas, some years ago, to become annexed
TO the United States, had with general acquies-
cence Nothing had since occurred materially to va
nv the question. l had seen evidence Of desire
being entertained the part OF any considerable por
ton Of the American people, that Texas should be-
come an integral part of the United States. During
nv soiouru in New Orleans, I had, indeed, been
greatly surprised, by information which | received
from Texas, that. in the Of last Fall, voun
tary overture had proceeded from the Executive of
the Uaited States the Authorities of Texas TO
clude treaty of Annexation; and that in order to
overcome the repugnunce felt by any of them to ne
gotiation upon the subject, strong nd, as believed
erroneous representations had been made to them of
n Of opinion in the Senate Of the United States
favorable to the ratification Of such treaty. Ac.
cording these representations, it had been ascer
tanned that number of Senators, varying from thirty
five to fory-two, ready to sanction such trea-
ty was aware, too, that holders of Texas lands
and Texus scrip, and spectators in them, were ac
lively engaged in promoting the object of annexation
Still, did not believe that any Executive Of the Uni
ted States would venture upon grave and momen-
tous proceedng.uot only without any general man.
Hesitation of public opinion in favor OF it but in direct
opposition strong and decided expression of public
dsapprobation. But it appears that was mistaken
To the asonishment of the whole nation we are now
informed that treaty of annexation has been actual
ly concluded, and is to be submitted TO the Senate
