DIED, in Richmond, July ~, of Cholera.
Mrs. SOPHIA, wifi of Mr.. Tnox,s Hanna,
and daughter of Elisa and Elizabeth Harring-
ton, late OF Spencer Massachusetts.
The memory of tie just is blessed" and il
becomes the melancholy duty as also the priv
lege of friendship tcyarner in the heart the to-
kens of departed worn, and emhalm in our re-
membrance their writes AMI heavenly graces,
thereby enriching GU souls and better preparing
to be heirs togethr ih them in Christ. We
would endeavor to portray the character of our
departed friend, SortA HANNA, in its own chris
tan beauty and excellence, but we feel made
quate to DO justice &c her in this brief notice
Yet the hearts of al those who have known her
long and intimately IAN fill up this outline OF her
virtues.
She was born ii Spencer. Mass. November /.
1901. At the age Of sixteen she experienced
religion aad made ,ublic profession Of her faith
in the SAVIOR; and from that early period until
her closing hour she ever, through variety OF
changes and trials, manifested the spirit of an
humble, devoted, unwaveriug follower Of the
LORI Jesus. She lived near the cross aud delight
ed much in secret intercourse with God, and at
the church, female prayer meeting. rarely
was her seat vacant. She was especially active
in the h.ne,oien enter Prises which came within
her sphere, and in the missionary circle her la
bors OF love will be much missed and long re-
membered
Her mind was we'll stored and highly cutivat-
ed and as a Teacher of Youth, in which en-
pioyment she was engaged many years, she W
pc evering and faithful; and very many, both
in New England and in her new home in the
West will think of her n beloved instructress.
But Il few months since, she was united to her
now sorrowiug companion, and Il new sphere OF
usefulness and happiness seemed open before
her, but G cd, who sceth not man sceth, and
whose ways are past finding out, had ordered
o;hers Use and again hath the pail of desolation
fallen over the lonely hearth and on the stricken
heart of the bereaved. Yet while souls
bowed 18th grief and tears mingle with his,
we feel that for her"to die is gain
1--WE sought to stay. spirit ripe for heaven;
--The Angel of the Covenant
Was come, and faithful to his promise stood
Prepared TO walk with her thro deaths dark vale.
And thus she passed away; but not in gloom
a light from far illumed her face; light
That came beyond the moon, beyond the sun
The light of truth divine; the glorious hope
OF resurrection at the promised morn.
And NEE tings the which ne 'er shall part again"

Mr.. Buckingham, in his ED number
Of the tCroaker,' published i'm the Bos-
ton Courier, briefly notices the hands in
the printing office ia which he was srst
employed in Boston. and speaks Of the
youngest apprentice as follows:
"The third and young est apprentice
has always aoated on the food tide of
prosperity, tide which yet knows no
retiring ebb. His duty then was like
all youngest apprentices to make the
fires, sweep the Office, pick p the types
that were dropped on the floor, distri-
butte pr and tread the pelts. Having
passed through this state of tribuiation,
and finished his time of service, he began
business as printer in State street, at the
corner of Flag alley-a locality which
is now digAifed with the name of Ex-
change Avenue, where he and his part
ner published weekly literary journal,
entitled The Emerald" He removed
to Charlestown, where he published
monthly religious magazine, called "The
Panoplist." Returning after some years
to Boston, pursued the business of prin-
ting and publishing on more extended
scale, and to that business added the
very natural one of bookseller. His
industry was untiring, his friends veal
thy and willing to aid-his publications
popular with large and jealous religious
party, and his profits sure and rapidly
increasing. He could not be otherwise
than rich; and he retired from active
business many years ago, to enjoy the
fruits of his enterprise and perseverance.
But the public required his services. He
represented Boston several times in the
General Court, has been Mayor Of the
city, Lieut.. Governor, and for the great
er part of one year acting Governor of
the Commonwealth He has twice Wis
tied Europe, and spert some years in
London, Paris and Rome. His mansion
is one of the most delightful situations
in the city, and here he lives in an envia-
BILE state of ease, affluence and indepen-
denee. What a contrast is exhibited in
the early and present condition of this
gentlcman And what a contrast be-
tween his condition and that of most of
those who have been his contemporaries
from boyhood to grey headed old age !
Well! his wealth and honors have been
honestly and henerahly aquired. May
he too live long unmolested by the "moth
and rust which 'corMpt earthly treas
ures, and at the close, find all the pages
of his life approvingly registered.
1t is hardly necessary to say that the
person referred to is Lieut.. Gov. Arm
strong.

conscience never Dies.

A jeweler, a man of good character
and of considerable wealth, having occa-
sion to travel, in the way of his business,
at some distance from the place of his
abode, took his servant. He had with
him some of his best jewels and large
sum of money. The master having oc.
casion to dismount on the road, the SER
want took pistol from his masters sad
die and shot him dead on the spot; and
then rifled him of his jewels and money +;
and hanging large stone TO his neck,
he threw him into the nearest canal,
With his booty he made off to a distant
part OF the country, where neither he
nor his master were known. There he
began to trade in a low way at first, that
his obscurily might screen him from OBJ
servation. In course of years he rose
into wealth, married into good family,
was esteemed among the people, had a
share IN the government, and at length
was chosen Chief Magistrate. In this
office he maintained fair character, and
continued to gil it with no small applause,
both as governor and Judge; till one
day as he sat upon the bench with some
of his brethren, criminal ~as brought
before him accused of numbering his
master. The jury heard the cause, the
testimony was full, and a verdict of gull

The JENNINGS Family.

Among the seventy eight delegates to
the convention of the Jennings Family
held in Nashville last week, the True
Wing of that city names the following,
all supposed to be heirs to the large es-
tate in question, viz Dudley S. Jennings
OF jackson, Miss; Rev. H. D. Duncan,
Barnwell c. h., s. c.; James E. Saun-
ders, Esq, Mobile, Ala; VIM. G. Jen-
nlngs, Esq, Rockingham county, Va;
John G. Jennings. Esq, Greencastle, In
diana; johnson Price. Esq, (member
elect to the Kentucky Convention,) Ian
easter county. KY; Chancellor D. G..
Lyon, Moulton. Ala; L. F. Dunlap,
Esq Lancaster eounty, Ky; E. H. Ew-
ing, and the Mesrrs. Woodward, of
Nashville. Among these are number
of naeR Of distinction, and an amount Of
legal talent which gives assurance that
the investigation contemplated will be
prosecuted with energy and ability. The
True Wing furnishes the following more
particular statement as to the facts Of
the Jennings estate, than that recently
published
"Wm. jennings died in England, in
1898, leaving an estate Of $4O.0OO,oOO.
He had no legal representative in Eng
land. The heirs on the maternal side,
there, instituted suit, and were d -feated
by the crown upon the ground that the
heirs on the paternal side were in the
United States. This information came
to branch of the Jesaiags Family in
the Northern and Eastern States, some
fifteen years ago. They prosecuted an
investigation which proved abOrtive, but
elected information which is said to
amount almost to positive proof, that the
Jennings Of the Southern and Western
States are thelegal heirs. They commu
nicated this information to the So"thera
branch Of the family, which led to the
convention Of representatives FROM its
various subordinate branches, convened
in this city, on Saturday, consisting OF
seventy eight delegates from eight States
to take preliminary steps for the prose-
cution Of their claims before the Courts
of England"

Homestead Exemption.

A western paper presents the following
arguments in favor OF exempting a mans
homestead from liability for debt;
There are Two leading reasons which
ought 10 have great weight. The frs, is,
that the direct tendency of exemp'ing the
homestead from deb. is TO preserve the
integrity Of the family, both in society and
properly. 1t will keep the family together
by keeping them home-safe from all the
storms of adversely. IN that, it will great.
ly tend to prevent the family from coming
on the public for support. New, the State
which legislates has deepinterest 10 main.
tanning the unity and prosperity of the ia m
lily. The whole is made up of its paris
Society is founded in the family. If nc
family is driven out TO seek a precarious
support. the State will have no paupers to
maintain. In every state Of society, no
ma.tar what the laws, the solvent must
ma intain the inSolvent. In both the Nat
ural and Christian state of society, il is
the duty of the members of family to do
this 10 one another. II. then, the family

able 10 do IL.
Thare is another reason almost equally
strong, and which concerns the political
health. There is no Independence strict.

pie who have neither homestead, nor the
means of getting one. Many OF our labor
ers do get homesteads, saved from the pro.
fits Of their labor. This should be encour-
sged-,hewhole community should be made
independent, If possible.

Il am glad that the fate Of Rome was

would have been done all over Europe if

The Dying Neither.

We were weeping round her pillow,
For we knew that she must die;
1twas night within our bosoms,
1t wac night withinthe sky.
There were seven ofus children,
the oldest one of all,
So I tried 10 whisper comfort,
But the binding tears would fail.
On my knee my little brother
Leaned'his aching brow and wePt,
And my sisters long black tresses
Ger my heaving bosom swept.
The shadow Of an awful fear
Came DER me as i arod,
To lay the burden Of our grief
Refore fhe throne Of God.
"Oh, be kind to one another"
Was my mothers pleading prayer,
As her hand lay as snow fake
On the baby's golden hair.
Then a glory bound her forehead,
Like the glory Of crown,
And in the silent sea of death
The star of lite went down.
Her latest breath was borne away
Upon that loving prayer,
And the hand grew heavier, paler,
In the baby's golden hair.

The Deserted Road.

The Deserted Road.
Ancient road that wind'st deserted
Through the level Ct the vale,
Sweeping toward the crowded msrket
Like stream without sail;
Standing by thee, l look backward,
And, as in the light Of dreams,
See the years descend and VANISH,
Like thy whitley :ented teams.
Here l stroll along the village
As in youths departed morn:
But miss the crowded coaches,
And the drivers bugle -horn-
Miss the crowd Of jovial teamsters
Filling buckets at the wells,
With their wsins from Cenestoga,
And their orchestras of Bells.
To the mossv way>sde tavern
Comes the noisy throng no more,
And the faded sign, complaining,
Swings, unnoiiced, at the door
While the old decrepid tollman
Waiting for the few who pass,
Reads the melancholy story
In the thickly sprlnging grass.
Ancient highway, thou art vanquished;
The usurper of the vale
Rolls in fiery, iron rattle,
Exultations on the gale.
Thou art vanquished and neglected;
But the good which thou hast done,
Though by man it be forgotten.
Shall'be deathless as the sun.
Though neglected, gray and grassy,
Still pray that my decline
May be through az verbal valleys
And as hest calm as thine.
