July 22nd, at his residence in Athens
township, JOHN w. WATSON, in the 10th year
Of his age,
Mr.. WATSON was an excessively hard labor
ing man, and in putting up his harvest receiv-
ed slight scratch on his hand, which in a short
time developed itself in o~rysiplas. Doubtless
the disease was in the system prior to the
scratch on the hand, it only giving it an oppor-
tunity Tor development. lie was much respect
ed in his neighborhood as an honest upright
man, of which there was ample evidence in the
attention and solicitude manifested by his neigh
bors. Yet, though attended with the best of
medical advice, and the warm sympathy and So
licitude Of friends, the mmo came and he
had to obey. lie seemed to be fully impressed
with the idea that his disease would terminate
in death; and as he drew near the dark valley,
he expressed himself frequently to his wife, as
waiting and anxious to depart. Having his
mind comfortably fixed on Jesus, death seemed
disarmed OF tcrror. He leaves his aged parents,
a wife and three children, besides relatives and
friends to mourn his ~loSs--to him doubtless in
finite gain. Such instances of mortality ought
to make strong and abiding impressions upon
all. lie was cut down in the prime and vigor
of manhood, with bright prospects ahead. Read
or, heed the warning, and "be ye also ready"
DIED-At the residence Of hor father in
Hopedale, SEMIRAMIs, little daughter of DR.. A.
w. and NJ. Ellen Ramsey aged 2 years and Is
days.
Another loving child has departed. She re-
turned home on the 1st inst, from the northern
part of the State, where she had been on a visit
with her mother and little brother, quite sick.
The fell destroyer had token hold of her. The
disease inflammation Of the brain,) baffled all
medical skill. Her little frame fast wasted
away, until the morning ofthe 9th, when the
hour of her departure having come, as peaceful
as a flower closes its leaves at sunset, her pure
and gentle spirit unfolded its wings, and flew
away to be forever at rest. The little bud tina
was just beginning to unfold its leaves on earth
has been transplanted to heaven, to bloom for
ever there. Kind ~neighbors and friends, never
so dear to us as now, came to our house o
mourning and sought with kind words to com.
fort us in this our sad bereavement; and follow
ed with us the little departed one to the grave
and wept there. The little loved one is gone
and would not call her back to earth again
since we can look away to a better laud, and
see our departed child, with other loved one
who have gone before, walking upon the "bank
Of the river of life" and joining in the 'new
song'' which ascribes glory and honor to Him
that sitteth upon the throne and to the LAM
forever.
May our Saviour teach us also, by faith to SCI
the golden threads Of Thy love, in the darkness
of this our great sorrow; and may we SO live
that in Thine own good time, we may hear TIL,
voice saying to us "Arise! go and meet her,
Fare thee we'll, our young and fair one,
Dear, sweet SAMARA fare thee well;
God who gave thee, hath recalled theo,
Back with film and His to dwell.
Il.
