In Westfeld, on the 29th inst, Mrs.
Nancy Hitchcock, aged II years.
In Derby Centre, on the 18th ult.,
Miss Jane A, daughter of E. K. and
Elvira Hammond, aged II years.
She was young lady of much promise, her
pleasing and amiable disposition, gentle and win
ming manners won in life though short, the
love and esteem of large circle Of friends and
acquaintances, though death early marked her
as its victim in the midst of the pursuits of life,
while engaged in her studies at the Academy at
Derby Centre. She was taken with the infiam>
matory fever which baff1ed the skill ofthe physis
clan, and in eight days she fell iH death. Jane,
like too many others, neglected to give her heart
to the Savior while in health. This she very
much regretted when on her death bed, but she
was enabled to trust in Christ in her last days,
and gave pleasing evidence that she was pre-
pared to exchange this world for heaven. The
agonizng and fond sisters bow beneath the stroke
and weep as never before. She to them made
earth's pathway pleasant, but the once happy
home is lonely for the family chain is broken, a
golden link is severed. Community wept at her
departure and sorrowed that she should die 50
Young. but although she mingles no more in the
family circle and around the ireside with those
to whom she was ever dear, nor is met in any Of
the walks of life where her voice was ever music
and her smiles gladdened, vet she mingles in sol
cietv ola higher and holier character, and we
trust that her happy spirit is singing praises
around the throne of God. Her remains were fol-
lowed to the grave May the 18th, by a large pro-
eession of youth Of the town, and their sad coun-
tenances and falling tears told how dear she was
! to them and how deeply they felt their loss.

Opinion Of a UniYersalist.

We learn from the Congregationalist
that the Rev. Thomas Whittemore, editor
of the Trumpet; and one of the most
prominent Universalist clergymen in
Massachusetts, has been attending Father
Mason's prayer meetings in North street,
Boston. He expected to be received
with coldness, if at all, but he was hap.
PLY disappointed. The first day be
wss silent observer. The second day
he spoke, and in manner which drew
forth the hearty "amens" from the sym.
pathizing brethren. The third day he
met Father Taylor there, and he called
Mr.. Whittemore out to speak which he
did, and prayed also. A scene ensued at
the meeting, which Mr.. Whittemore de.
scribes as follows: "A brother rose, IA
perfect stranger to us.) He said he was
from Charleston. He had brought to
the meeting poor fallen brother, he said;
seamen, Swede, for whose salvation
he felt the most feryent desires; and he
wanted him to be regarded as special
subject of prayer that day. The old sea-
man was deeply moved. Father Mason
went toward him, and knelt down, and
said: "Let US all pray for this man, I"
He offered q very feryent petition
"Lord," said he, "lhis poor man feels
that he is sinner; he desires our prayers.
Lord, be has served the devil, and he
feels that he has served him enough. and
now be wishes to change masters. Lord,
take him into thy service. Lord, he
loves rum. ["Yes, yes." said the poor
creature. Lord, he smells of rum" :
CYes. yes." And then the speaker,
raising his voice with his increasing emo
tion. and laying both his hands on the
head of the kneeling, weeping Swsde,
poured out petition for him that pene.

A Tale of Scotland.

A party Of troopers entered the house
of a window, and demanded and received
refreshment. A we'll grown lad, tn 10 wild
ow's son, waited upon them-the widow
Hospitality offering to their wants all she
had to command.
"And how do you live in these troublous
times, Goodey!" asked one of the mer-
cenaries with an air of kindness.
swell ! thank Heaven" answered the
poor widow, "my good man left me a COW
and garden with that bit of field I do
not complain"
"Indeed !" CALCULATED the ruffian. "Cor-
poral Spiedgelt, what say you to try if
Heaven helps her without q COW! '''.
each! mein Gott! der garten is enoof!
Nit it zone verlachen--ha ha !" and the
fellow laughed. "Kill der schuchtern

and ter kase, (cheese !") . ...t.
cay" quoth the fellow, with hoarse
laugh; "and SO it will. So Goody, here
goes with the honors of war-tara! and
he drew his sword.
"What are you going to do ?" cried the
youth, s2ringing forward, with tears in his
eyes and terror in his face. s#.i
"Strike the brat Bod" said the trooper,
as one smote the boy on the mouth, while
the trooper passed his sword through the
gentle breast of the generous home feeder,
the poor cOw-and to add to this DEVILS
deed, moved down all the kale in the gar
den. The trooper then departed.
Widow and child were at once destitute
of subsistence. She soon sickened and
died, heart-broken and the boy wandered
away, and was not seen or heard of for
many year after. .-.'.
During the wars in Flanders, party of
soldiers were one afternoon seated round a
campfire and flushed with wine and vict-
ory were relating some decd ofthe past till
they seemed to take turn in viewing with
each other for the atrocity Of their details.
81 once starved an old dame by merry
Carlisle" said trooper, noted for his fe.
rocity and courage. 81 killed her COW,
and, egad! destroyed her green's. She
said Heaven would Keep her, and faith l
longed to know miracle; but she died
ha,! ha! she died." S.t' ggaa
"And do you not repent Of that deed !"
cried young trooper, leaping to his feet,
with wrathfhl brows. n'ot rt r
"Repent {! Bah what the devil should
! repent for" asked the other, contempt
uously. "Sit down and laugh at the joke"
Do you stand up, you marauding dog
shouted the other; "for in the name Of
that Heaven she trusted in, you shall re-
pent it That woman was my mother ~
and unsheathing his sword, he struck the
ruffian soldier on the cheek with his fiat,
and instantly swords were crossed.
Twice--thrice did the avenging son pass
his sword through the body ofthe destroyer
Of the poor widows living and turning
him over with his foot, as the other lay
writing in the pangs of death, added.
"Had you but repented that deed, had
left you to God; but as you repented not, ]
know that Heaven avenges her in me!

STEUBENVILLE, OHIO, WEDNESDAY JUNE 49, 1865,

comfort depends upon him, to the other
lonely freside, to which his constant
thoughtfuiness imparts its only light, and
to his own home, and the young wife
whose happiness is dearer to him than
life. For this, Margaret, Ralph Hale
gives his days to incessant toll, and will
lingly sacrifices the social pleasures he is
so eminently fitted to enjoy.
| have been in these three homes
With a love that is almost reverence, his
mother and sister speak his name, and
with full hearts thank God for his life---
that life so filed with. the beauty Of self
remuneration. The widow and daughter,
whose hearts he has made glad, tell Of
bis numberless acts of kindness, Of his
delicate and unceasing watchfulness, and
daily ask Gods blessing on him whose
life is blessing to others.
In his own home, the wife, whose love
should bless him. whose gentle ministry
should comfort and strengthen hin, turns
coldly from him, because he prefers the
happiness Of others to his own grati6ca-
ton. because the pressing duties Of life
claim all his waking hours, leaving him
little leisure for the claims of Society, or
for the high intellectual culture which few
attain whose lives are not wholly devoted
to it," ........ ...-
"Oh. Ralph, | have never know you
| have so cruelty misjudged you," said
the weeping wife.
The old man continued: "Some men
talk poetry, some write i! in words, and
some write it in their lives. The true
heroism which poets have less devotion
to duty, which have been their inspiration,
Ralph Hale has lived. The woman who
has won the deepest love Of such heart
should reverenily and gratefully cherish
it as the richest blessings Of her life."
In the twilight of that day, Margaret
was awaiting her husbands return
Amid the bitter selfreproachings that
darkened the hour, cleaned new and
holy light, Higher purposes were arous-
ed within her. In the future she would
make divinely real in her life, the beau.
ti(ul ideals that had filled her heart with
unsatisfed Iongings. She, too, would
live for others, and first of all for him
whom she had so misunderstood.
A hurried step in the entrance hall,
then on the stairs, and the next moment
she was clasped in her husbands arms.
"You have been very ILL.," said voice
faltering with emotion, "but, thank God,
you are safe now, my Margaret!"
"Oh, yes, am safe indeed now," said
Margarets heart.
In that hour all was made clear betwee
them. With new resolves for the future,
with deeper love for each other, and a
prayer for strength, another page Of life
was turned for them.
Years afterwards. Margaret, a proud
and happy wife, wrote: II cannot tell
you how much he has been to me--my
guide when was ignorant, my strength
when faltered, my best earthly friend
always. What do not owe you for re.
vealing The mistake that had almost
wrecked the happiness Of both"
