DIE D..


On the 18th ult., Mrs. LAURA j. PERKINS,
wife of Frederick FL Perkins, and daughter
of the late Captain William Waters, Of this
Parish, in the 23rd year Of her age.
When the aged and sinfrm fall into the
grave, we look upon the circumstance only
as fulfllment Of the general law Of nature,
which has stamped the word decay on the
face Of all things earthly. AT the end of a
long life Of goodness aud usefulness. death is
generally welcome visiter, as freeing Us
from the pains to, which our existence is a
prey, and transferring us to another world
where sickness and death are felt no more.
But when the young are taken away from us
in the flower of their youth, we are apt to
complain that they are rnthlpssly torn from
our embrace, and to call 10 question the
ways Of Providence because they are mystic
rious, and lnpxplicable to our understanding.
And yet, we are assured that those Of his
dispeDsations towards Us which seem the
hardest to bear and the most difficult 10 ul-
derstand, are often fraught with the greatest
blessings; and we should reposs IN the couf.
dent belief that He who sufereth not spar
row to fall uunoticed to the ground, will heed
the suferngs of His people, and will not
impose upon them burdens which they are
unable to bear.
The subject Of this notice was struck down
in the spring time of life, in the fulness Of
youthful health and vigor. Just entered in-
TO the sweetest and dearest Of all relations,
she had before her apparently many years Of
happiness and of pleasure But, when least
expected, the Angel of Death came, cut
short all her earthly hopes and put an end
to all her earthly aspirations. But il is
gratifying to her friends to know that the
summons did not find Der unprepared; that
her last hours were sweetened by the conso-
lations Of the Gospel and that she left the
abodes Of earth with the triumphant belief
that she was passing to brighter existence
on high. *.*.*.

CETEBR lated COFFEE.

Whilst trying Coffee of all the various brands,
Remember ,'BBOWNING'S EXCELSIOR
ut the head it stands.
True. it's not like others that are "SOLD
EVERYWHERE"
A little stretch we all do know, good goods
will easily bear,
But a stretch like this-"sold eyerywhere"-
is very apt to tear.)
Now, ! can safely say, without any hesitation,
There's none like "BROWNING'S EXCELSI-
OR" in this enlightened nation.
Skilled chemists have not found a Coffee from
any store
Possessing the same ingredients as "Brown-
ings Excelsior"
Nor is there any one, in or cut Of the Coffee
trade,
Who knows the articles from which "Brown-
isg's Excelsior is made.
I'm told It's made from barley, rye, wheat,
beans, and peas;
Name thousand other things-but the
RIGHT ONE if you please.
But with the Coffee men l will not hold con-
tention
For the many, many things they say-too
numerous too mention.
Whilst they're engaged in running round
from store to store
To learn the current wholesale price of
"Browning's Excelsior"
Some who know my Coffee gives perfect sat
islaction,
Have formed plan by which they hope TO
cause quick reaction.
The caso-'tis with u few no doubt twill be
with more
10 name their Coffee after mine, GROWN
INGS) EXCELSIOR"
Some say theirs the only brand that will
stand Il ready test.
Now try q little Of them all-see which you
like the best
Three years have passed away since first
sold n store
Never have in your paper advertised before
Nor would now, or ever consent to publish
more,
If like some used by ''eYerybody," "soId
everywhere" in ''cycry store"
A trade like this I do not wish the orders
could not fill;
The Factory all jerseys lard would take
leave not a foot to till.
Ny trade is not 50 very large; still think
have my share;
But, reader, you may rest assured, It's NOT
