States to the Sandwich Islands. He was
there four years, and returned last sum-
mer with a cancer upon his under lip,
which has now eaten out the whole lower
portion Of his face and into his throat and
has destroyed the power of speaking and
masticating food; and yet, true to his ''ru-

cles every week for his old paper, the
kenebec Journal,
From the same paper, we copy the close
of a feeling obituary Of the deceased.
He could communicate with his family
only by writing; and the last words he
ever wrote were on his dying bed under
circumstances which showed the prepared
ness of his soul for it's ascent to the spirit
land. Reckoning his daughter to his side
with faint hand tracing the request upon
slate, he signifed his desire that she
would sing. The request was affecting,
and she asked what, if anything in partic-
ular, he most desired her to sing? He
seized the pencil, and with trembling,
dying grasp, wrote:

One can conceive how amid bleeding
hearts and weeping eyes dutiful child
nerved hrrself to soothe the departing
spirit of fond father with the meleody
of that affecting song. At its close, he
beckoned to faithful religious brother,
who stood by him during all his sufferings
since his return to Augusta, to kneel at his
bedside and pray. He did SO; and God
heard that prayer. Luther Severance is

THE DEATH OF A GOOD MAN.

We announced, a few days since, the
death of the Hon. Luther Severance of
Maine. He served his apprenticeship as
printer in the Office of the National Intel
kgencer, at Washington, and soon after
settled in Kennebec, Maine, where he es-
tablished the Kennebec Journal. We here
copy from the Rural I'stelIigencer::
"He printed and edited his own paper
setting the types at his case from the
thinking machine of his head. He proved
to be the ablest editor that Maine ever
had. In less than. five years the people
forced him into seat in our Legislature,
then holding its temporary sessions in
Portland. Afterward he was chosen to
the State Senate again. and again; then he
was forced into Congress, and in less thar
twenty years saw the poor apprentice boy
that left Washington in 1926, seeking his
fortune ''d6wh East" now member OF
the national Legislature in the same city,
one Of the most talented, efficient and hon

he conducted his paper with as much read
mess and fidelity DIS ever. He never
sought Office supremely modest-it was
always forced upon him, and the favor
was done by him to the public, not by the
public to him, whenever he accepted a
public trust. It was he that made Mil;

Mr.. Jones broke the seal and read as
follows:

Drowned, to deep chestnut color, and
not burned, as that destroys the life of
coffee, giving it a bitter and disagreeable
taste. Grind it not too fine; then break
an egg into it, and stir it till the particles
adhere, and then turn it into the pot boil
ing water, and let it boil twenty or thirty
minutes. After taking it from the stove,
turn into it few spoonfuls of cold water,
to settle it. This, with sugar and sweet

The Brides New Home.

Far from her childhood's sunny bowers
A new home meets the fair young bride;
New duties claiming now the hours,
And stranger scenes on every side.
But when the twilight hour has core,
And memory's holy depths are stirred,
Sees she not then the dear old home,
Where late her step and voice were heard J
And thinks she not of childhood's dreams,
That thrilled her with her witching spell;
Of youths more wild, romantic schemes
She loved to foster all so well
And sees she not those absent friends
Who miss the dear ones gore from them,
With each of whom some memory blends,
Now treasured as priceless gent
But the deep sense of loneliness
That weighs so heavily on the soul,
When thoughts like these upon her press,
Yields to affections sweet control
That strong affection which incites,
To almost any sacrifice,
Which is to those whom it unites
An antepast to Paradise
The brides new home! Religion there
Should ever have her sacred shrine,
And morning praise and evening prayer
Be breathed for every gift divine
Poor human love will never wane,
Nor idolize its objects here,
Where pity it has reared a fame,
And the heart offering is sincere
The brides new home, peace be within,
And every hallowed grace employed;
mothers prayer an answer win;
A fathers blessing full enjoyed. -
A sisters wishes realized
brothers hopes fulflment find;
Each dear friends benediction priced,
The brides Few home Let music wane
Her soak entrslzItiiis, s measure sre,
And melancholys dirge ne'er brgts
In darkening cadence on its air,
Let loves perfume its halls pervade,
That echo but to gentle words,
So shall the brides new home be made
The fairest dwelling earth affords.
