IL IL evident that the northern wing OF

sed by the speech OF Mr.. Yancy, as his mp.
plauso came ms frequently from their
benches as from those of his own friends.
Nor can there be much doubt that the De-

For tho Express.
A few days since many friends sadly
followed the youthful and beautiful dead 10
her burial. The hands Of affection had
lavishly covered her With the sweet bud
dings and bloomings Of early Spring; and,
as for moment looked down upon that
pale. quiet face. 80 suddenly changed and
blighted by suffering, my heart beat harder
with the irr,pressible thought that she
was gone Too soOnl The dropping flowers
seemed to bow their fair heads. aud fold
their waxen petals, in sorrowful tokening
that alI-howrs aud sweet girl woman
had been ruthlsssly pluckod TOO soon!
No terror Of death, no reckless daring
against the great all Father who blcases us
with rich bounties and care, comcs with
my thoughts they are only In harmony
with n rational and natural value Of the
life which IL given us for great practical
uses aud enjoyment. Very tendcrly and
reverently would I approach tho mention
Of ono now sacred 10 tho memory Of the
astonished aud stricken bersavod. But
the sudden death Of one who was but as
yesterday, buoyant with happy health aud
vigorous life, has fallen 80 like n stunning
blow on the circle where sho was known
and beloved, that they will. perhaps, par
don the privilege we Jake 10 utter the
thoughts thus suggested.
We may not now indulge IN vain regrets
and questioninga whether that dear life
could have been saved. but hop can we
avert The terrible hand Of the destroyer
when II again appears ready to crush our
beloved ones.
To mothers, sisters, TO every woman. aud
not lees u men, SHOULD the Invaluable
suggestion be- urged, Learn To nurse the
sick" Familiar as We are forced to be
with the countless aile which humanity IL
heir to. presenting their ghostly vi-ages at
every turn, II becomes almost imperative
that every one should have some prepare.
ton for the duties Of the sick room. From
childhood TO old age We must witness, or
feel. the sgoniziog torture Of pain. Our
earliest memories are OF n wasted form,
weary aud suffering. at last folded In the
cold embrace Of deathl and Of a sweet
playmate. BEAUTIFUL aud beloved, sDatchsd
from Us, after few hours OF UNDERSTANDABLE
agony, always embiltering thought with
the remembrance that those around were
ignorantly dumb aud powerless OF effort
To relieve. sneh illustrations can every
whore be brought forward, and enforce the
need TO learn the language Of pain. and
how 10 hush IL. Pain IL always tho voice
Of nature warning US Of disease and death
The quick ego Of ~ mpathy and affection
should ever note IL, and ipteIligently en-.
quire how much danger Il points To.
Severe pain is far less to be dreaded
than the insIdious march Of hidden dis.
ease. stealing slowly along through Ian
guild pulses. fading checks. and growing
sweetness aud patience Of spirit. We cry
ont with acute pain, and ask for help
The demand is imperative, and the re.
spouse should be prompt aud active
bealthful hands have no
lime to rest until that pain is relieved.
What shall We do for the suffereri Very
