An Agreeable Day.

To one engaged from day to day,
without intermiSsion, in the conduct
of public journal, there is nothin g
more acceptable than the urnortuI /

filed with dry, tedious items" and
threadbare politics, throwing down
the pen, hanging up the scissors,
kicking the paste. cup into Hall

editorial, and seeking a short respite
for OvertaXed nerves and recreation
for brains parched by the fierce sun
of summer, and racked with search
ing in vain for ideas with which to
please the reading public-in short
trip to the country, to the grand ole
forests. and the quiet grOves-"GOd's

The quiet old village is not as

and their descendants still maintain

an air of joyous unceremonious So
liability still pervades its precincts

wife of the late z l.. Nicholson. in her 35th years
The deceased was well known IN this cemu unity,
and many hearts beat in sympathy with her
bereaved mother, sisters and little children in
their deep affiiction. She was an amiable woman
and much beloved by those who knew her best.
She was not a professor of religion, but regular
bible reader-and punctual to her private devo'
tions She remarked to her sister just before her
death, that Gods will must be done and she sub
mtted herself to Him. May we not hope that she
now reaps the reward of the pure in heart?
