OBITUARY.

Carthage Division has lost a worthy and efficient
member by the death Of Bro. Agnus McCaskill, on
the 10Th ult. His brethren bear testimony, by for
nal resolutions, to his zeal, and consistency as a
Son of Temperance and a christian, and of their
deep sorrow at the loss of one of the best members
of the Division. Resolutions Of sympathy and con-
dolenee with his surviving friends and for wearing
the usual badge Of mourning were also adopted.

A little child, six this Summer, whose curls
yet glitter with tho gold of y~outh-whose
eyes arc clear of manhood's clouds-whose
checks arc red and whose lips are free from
guile, sits under the great locust before the
cottage door watching the flies playing in
the broad belt Of sunbeams at his feet, and
sings:
cor fair sunny glados where the b~uttercup springs
or cool, gushing fountains, of rosetinted wings.
or birds bees and blossoms, all beautiful things"

ACTION

Dreaming, waiting, lingering-is it right
Has the mighty Roll of Fame ever recorded
a single name without laudable e~xertion on
part Of the individual? Has there ever been
one salutary influence sent abroad by those
who grovel and whine in the weeds and dust
Everything in earth and sky calls trumpet
tongued to living men-to action. Never
make n leap in the d~ark-neyer plunge in
the mud, or attempt to hurl mountains from
their rock grit base. Go to work in a prac.
teal, systematical manner, work with ener
gy and show the world that you have a Goa
of the true fire glowing on the altar in your
bosom. In this way you will grow stronger
every day, and better disciplined to battle
with the trials that infest the pathway o.
life, gRd acquire that influence such as your
fellowmen will point at and reflect upon.
when the death beacon leads you away. \
