TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

The following Preamble and Resolutions were
unanimously adopted by the Teachers and Pu-
pills of the /" Wesleyan Female Institute"
Whereas: God, All-Wise, and too good to be
unkind has taken from our midst our Friend and
Teacher, Miss Emily Arnall-therefore Resolved,
That as school, we desire to express the high
esteem and sincere regard, in which we hold the
memory of the departed. How inscrutablo are
the ways of Providence How often do we meet
with congenial loving hearts, make friendships,
form ties, and ere rejoiciugs over. that q
bright flower has been added to the g wreath of
Affection" the flower fades, droops, dies In the
few short weeks that have followed the advent of
1870, we learned to know. to love and lose this
dear One, whom none knew, but to love. Her
memory is precious. Around her name are
twned all the virtues that adcrn woman. Low
ing, gentle, self-sacrifcing, persevering and
kind, she could not fail to win hearts. We shall
never forget her, never forget the bright smile
and loving welcome that greeted all who APP
preached her. nor the noble spirit that prompted
her to attempt the discharge of duties that health
and strength refused to meet.
| I'd. That we tender our sympathy to the af-
ficted mother sisters and brothers, whose hearts,
| bleeding from recent bereayements, SO severely
suffer. Whom the Lord loveth, He chasteneth, -
is surely written fer the bereaved, and although
| dark clouds of sorrow now wrap their souls in
gloom and force their spirits to hover about the
dark, cold tomb, the Lord God merciful and gra-
cious the Lord God abundant in loving kind
| ness, reigns above the clouds. Our beloved dead
dwelleth with Him, exempt from all suffering
Their sleeping bodies, the fair casket, that once
contained all we so much love, feel no pain, as
they return to mother earth; they heed not the
cold, damp clods of the Valley, the tramping Of
feet, the hum of stranger voices, but sleep calm
ly, sweetly, hopefully, awaiting the Resurrection
morn, when in glorious Immortality we can agair
meet. Daughter, sister, Friend, we may ther
take thee again to our loving embrace and par
no more God grant it.
Sd. That as member of our Board of Teach
ers we deeply mourn her death and cherish hel
memory. She adorned her high position in THU
Institute with those gifts of mind and graces o
heart which gave the fairest promise of a usefu
and noble career as a guide and Teacher of tn
young. Her chair is vacant, but around i
the sweet memories of her beautiful life will clus
| ter forever.
4th That these proceedings be published il
the Staunton papers and copy be sent to thu
| bereaved friends.

When the sun his rags were shedding

And watched the streamlst glistening,
As entranced there was listening. M

Lo! l. saw fellow being on the grounds
Though no other feature shifted

Where no ray Of sun was shining,
And frequently l wondered at the words the man

And that some hidden history

KosKoo.-This medicine is rapidly gaining the
confidence of the people, and the numerous testi-
monials OF its virtues, given BY practitioners of
medicine, leaves no doubt that it is safe and
reliable remedy for IApuRIrY OF THE BLOOD. &C.
The last Medical Journal contains au article
from Prof. r. S. Newton, NJ. D., President of the
E. Medical College, city of New York, that speaks
in high terms of its curative properties, gives a
special recommendation of Koskoo to the prac-
titioners of medicine This is, we believe, the
first instance where such medicines have been
officially endorsed by the Faculty of any medi-
cal colleges and reflects great credit upon the

effected to put the enterprise i'll motion, by a

and cogent reasons therefor, but Ills enough to
say, that familiar as with the topography

selves, that very large proportion of the owners
of the lands on this route will grant free right
of way to the company, as well as be disposed to
subscribe literally its stock. In adopting this
line the road will pass thro section entirely cut
off from access to any Railroad, and will be from
