OBITUARY.
F. G. ADAMS.

On the morning Of the 9th inst, at the residence
Of her father, In Clark county, Ohio, Miss MARY
ANN SwAYSE sweetly fell asleep in Jesus.
Gifted with a mind Of no ordinary cast, Miss
Swaype was untiriug In the acquisition Of those
treasures which adorp, and polish, and refine the
intellect her matured judgment enabled her to
Gull and garner the gems Of literature, while her
chastened taste led her to reject all that was ephe.
neral and enervsting. Naturally reserved and
retiring In her general intercourse with the
world around her, she was sometimes deemed
cold--nay, proudly those who knew her not ;
but around the paternal hearthstone, or in the
social circle of endeared friends she unbosomed
the treasured hoard OF her young hearts deep
affections; and none who have witnessed her
untiring and unseiGsh devotion 10 the family
circle, or have listened TO her chaste and beautiful
expression Of sentiment, that did honor alike TO
intellect and feeling, but will treasure the remem-
brance as gems, to stud with pure radiance the
Hall Of Memory.

Mr.. EpnoR The following letter, containing
the opinion Of John Jay, concerning the constitu
tionai power Of Congress to prohibit the extension
of slavery, find In @ pamphlet dated 1919, an
nexed TO the speeches in favor Of imposing the
slavery restriction upon Missouri, by Rufus King
in the Senate, and Messrs. Taylor and Talmadge

November II, 1919
DgAR SIR: have received the cory Of crcu-
lar letter, which, as chairman OF the committee
appointed by the late public meeting at Trenton,
respecting slavery, you was pleased to direct to
me on the 9Th instant.
Little can be added to what has been said and
written on the subject Of slavery. concur in the
opinion that it ought not TO be introduced nor
permitted in any of the mem States, and that II
ought to be gradually diminished, and finally aool'
ished in all Of them.
To me, the constitutional authority Of the Con-
gress TO prohibit the migration and importation
Of slaves into any Of the States, does not appear
questionable.
The fya article OF the Constitution specifies
the Legislative powers committed 10 the Congress
The 9th section of that article has these words
"The migration or importation Of such persons az
apy of the nom sristing States shall think proper
TO admit shall not be prohibited by the Congress
prior to the year 1905, but tax or duty may be
imposed on such importation, not exceeding ten
dollars for each person"
| understand the sense and meaning OF this
clause TO be, that the power Of the Congress,

THE CHILD At THE FOUNTAIN.
by the side Of a sparkling Fountain
lovely infant stood,
Who golden bowl was holding
In careless, merry mood
Dip ing It Oft in the waters,
Aud draining it in mirth;
For the fount was a mortal fountain,
And the child was a child Of earth
The Sun from his azure pathway
STOPPED unto the waters low,
And wove with It's snowy spray-wreAths
A beautiful lris-Bow-
While flowers grew up by the fountain,
or every radiant hue,
Which the infant gathered gSily,
And up 70 the rainbow threw;
Laughing u'syer rainiJ ------ -.-- -.
lie looked to see them there,
But taw them fall 10 the waters,
Or lodge in his sunny hair.
50 day unto day succeeded,
And the happy one was blesi
As Merriment was near him,
Or left him unto rest;
But a cloud cane over the sunlight,
And the Iris.Bow was dim,
And the voice Of the darkened fountain
Became pens We hymn.
Then the infants eyes grew fearful,
And he laid his wearisd head
On the tufted emerald margin
That oft had been his bed
And looking through tears above him,
He caught through the parted cloud
glimpse of the brilliant rainbow,
And beneath II an infant crowd
Who Arouud throne we're gathered,
Each bowling it's little head,
And receiving it's crown Of blessing
From Hand that once had bled.
Sweet streams Of music hoated
From the anthem which they sung
An anthem they were learning . e''.
In new celestial tongue
The infant heard with rapture,
And longed 20 dee away,
But a silver cord was round him,
Still binding him to clay.
Then with his efforts weary,
No more be longed to drink
And his golden bowl had fallen
Over the waters brink
by the troubled waves twas broken,
And sunk In the signing deep,
As the child, still upward gazing,
Had gone TO his final sleep;
For an Angel came from Glory,
To sever the silver cord,
And bear the infant sleeper
To the bosom Of his Lord.
