Mr.. EDToB,-Knowipe that soma y, non,
| reauers VIII pe interested in a few particulars
of Mrs. Betsy F. Tobe, who died at Bald Hill
New gloucester, aged lOl years, months and
% days, subjoin the following items:
She was born in Stroudwater, near Port
land, on June 9th, 1868. She lost her father
by death when she was six years of age, in
consequence of which she had to toll hard for
one so young She was q spectator of the de-
struction OF Portland by fire, the work of the
British, when she was nine years OF age
:, w hen Brigadier Smith moved with his fam
| ny into New Gloucester, she accompanied
mem .netn and enjoyed their care for about five
years. She often spoke in high terms of the
motherly kindness of the BIioadier's wife
Sne married, in 1890 at the age OF % Richard
Tobie who was about 21, whom she has sur-
vived just eight years-she dying on the same
day and the same month of the wear When
her husband was about forty-fiv years of age
whilst at work on barn he met with severe
accident A ridge pole swung round and
knocked him off and injured his back so that
for twelve months he was unable to render as
sistance to his family and the care fell upon
his wife, who promptly and energeteally did
her duty.
She was not of robust constitution all her
days for she passed through severe ordeals Of
affliction.
She had eleven children and brought up
nine, all now living but tsc0. She had forty
fve grand children, and out of that number
sixteen are now living, with quite number
OF great-grandchildren. During the late war
her sympathy was enlisted in behalf Of our
soldiers, and it took the shape of action, and
she aided in making between 400 and 800 pairs
of soldiers drawers.
About twenty. eight years ago, L. d. Tobe,
Esq, OF Bald Hill, Zone of her sons) took his
parents under his more particular care, and
her daughter Mary Ann has been her constant
companion for the last forty-fve years with
but short absence). She has been unwearied
in her tender care for her mother.
The old lady was great reader of religious
books and constant reader of the Bible
which she greatly priced. For IA years sue
has been in the enjoyment of the blessings of
the Gospel. She retained the use of her fac
ulties and limbs up to the last. She was quite
original and decided in her opinions, and very
expressive in her conversation.
Though it was very unfavorabe weather
quite number of friends and neghbors at
tended her funeral on the Both, when the Rev.
X. j. Langridge of Mechanic Falls delivered
an appropriate address founded on the words
in Job IA; 14-"All the days of my appointed
time will wait till my change come" Rev.
Mr.. Chase of New Gloucester participated in
the exercises. ..

The DiIigent Woman.
BY Q. @. p. MOODY.

III Cs u L. MOODY.
She riseth in the morning betimes. and as
the lark singeth to his mate, so she maketb a
joyful noise in all her house.
She shaketh up her bed, and beateth the
pillows thereof, and like as an eagle stirreth
up her nest, SO she stirreth up the feathers
and spreadeth out the sheets and layeth the
blankets apart.
Her husband looketh upon her and re-
joiceth; she is like young roe of the noun
tains; her breasts are full of milk, and she
giveth suck to her own children in the time OF
their want.
She layeth her hands to the washtub, ant
rubbeth upon the board, making clean the
fine linen; her hands take fast hold of the
wrnser, and by turning the crank the water
presseth out.
She clotheth her family with'pule garments
when she has made them smooth with a hot
iron, and by reason thereof her husband is
made comely when he sitteth among the
chief men, or walketh in the market places
She kneadeth up dough and baketh a
goOdly ceke for her household, and to every
one she giveth piece of bread, and butter
of kine
She provideth her dinner in due season,
and her supper faileth not, when the good
man returneth at the end of the day, weary
with his labors and the strife of men.
She looketh well to the ways of her house
hold, and scorneth the idle woman with del
icate hands who leth in bed and calleth a
servant.
She keepeth safely the heart of her hus-
band. and suffereth not his feet to wander in
forbidden paths, by reason of her discretion.
Yea, he loveth her, and like cooling doves
they walk together the way of life.
Like the busy bee, she continueth diligent
all the day long, and by reason of hard work,
her bones do ache, yet she complainant not,
because she doth it willingly.
She is modest in her apparel, and bringeth
no shame to her husband by reason of un-
paid bills for costly feathers, or mantua stuff
ing, or frizzly waterfalls of dogs hair.
She obeys the voice of nature in the cir
