She Always made AHoE,e Happy.
I'm an old church-yard stood stone,
Weather-narked and stained;
The hand of time had crumbled it,
so only part remained.
Upon one side could just trace ~.
''In memory Of our mother"
An epitaph which spoke OF ''home"
Was chisoled on the other.
I'd gazed on monuments of fame,
High towering to the skies;
I'd seen the sculptured marble stono
Where q great hero lies;
Bnt by this epitaph paused,
And read it DER and DER,
For had never seen inscribed
Such words as these before.
"%hc always made home happy" What
noble record leftl
4 legacy of memory sweet,
To those she loved, bereft.
And what testimony given
By those who knew her best,
Engraven on this plain, rude stone
That marked their mothers rest.
1t was an humble resting place;
/ knew that they were poor.
Bnt they had seen their mother sink,
And patiently endure.
They had marked her cheerful spirit,
When bearing one by one
Her many burdens up the hill,
TIL all her work was done.
So, when was stiled her weary heart,
Folded her hands 30 white,
And she was carried from the home
shed always made 80 bright.
Her children raised monument
That money could not buy,
Az witness Of noble life
Whose record is on high.
a noble life but written not
In any book of fame;
Among the list of noted ones,
None ever saw her name.
For only her own household knew
Tho victories she had won.
And none but they could testify
How well her work was done.
Better than costly monument
OF marble rich and rare,
IL that rude stone whose humble face
Such words of honor bear.
Oh may we chisel on the hearts
Ofthose of whom we love
An epitaph whose truth may be
Witness for us above.

Our beloved brother, Harris Foster, ofVas-
saiboro, departed this life suddenly on the Sd
of January, 1870, aged 10 years. Although
We feel that beautiful character might be
drawn from his lie, yet we propose only to
give some brief outlines, as a tribute Of love
and respect due to his worth, knowing, as We
do, that his unobtrusive mind would recoil
from bordering in any way on eulogy. He
was man endowed by nature with good in
tcllectuai powers of mind, cultivated and re-
fined by well chosen studies, blended with
many amiable traits of character which very
much endeared him to his friends. But above
all the christian graces shone most conspicu-
Gus by elevating his mind and heart in all the
domestic and business relations of life; and
truly it may be said of him, THAT to do JUS
tice, love mercy, and walk humbly before
Cod, was his high endeavor. He bore phys
composure. When mcditating on the last ag-
onizing scene of his life, then, and then only,
can we find consolation, in endeavoring to
bow in submission to the will Of heaven, and
rejecting that his purified spirit, freed from
the turmoils of time, 10 now reposing in the
bosom of Jesus. In early youth his heart was
deeply touched with commiseration for the
poor, African slave; the wrongs, and woes,
unjustly inflicted on them, he bewaiied in SOL
itude, and was one of the first in this town to
subscribe and take the Liberator, then in its
infancy; and not long since in conversation
with him, he remarked that he hardly expect
ed to have seen the day of their emancipation,
but thought there remained much to be done
for them. He was member Of the society
of Friends, and supported the doctrine pro.
fessed by them, yet without sectarian preju-
dices; he could commune with the christian
church by whatever name, when he could be-
hald vital religion shedding its benign inHu-
ence around the footsteps Of life's thorny
paths. ,-. T Con-.
