consent. throng to the Cemetery and grave
wards 70 Law their floral tribute ofromen'brance
and gratitude on the grassy mounds which
mark the last resting place Of our buried

blasted hopes, loved ones laid low, and joys
forever gone. Yet, not without some gleam-
ing of a brighter dawn in the dim distant fu-
ture do we thus gather round these cherished
ashes. As for them the prospect Of bright
resurrection day cheers our saduess and enGyens

loved better than their own lives, there arise
mid storm and clouds, indications Of a brighter
sunshine than it has ever yet known, and ere

A gloom was cast over this whole commune
tv on Thursday morning last by the iuteili-
gence Of the sudden death Of Mrs f. L. Ton
llxsox. wife Of Mr. Benjamin Tomhnson, who
expired at half past one in the night after an
illness Of only a few minutes. having retired
TIE previous evening in unusually good health
and spirits.
The death Of this estimable lady will be
most severely felt not only by her sorrowing
family, but by the large circle of friends who
knew her intimately and appreciated her true
worth and many good qualities. For a num-
Der Of years she had been a most exemplary
Christian and devoted member Of the NJ E.
Church, whose interests lay very near her heart,
and from whose communion she win be sadly
missed. A faithful and aAectionate wife, a
loving. tender mother, a constant, unlailing

A Family Medicine.

We call the special attention Of our readers
to the advertisements of that favorite home rem
edy, Perry Davis PAIN KILLER: 1t has
been before the public over thirty years, and
probably has wider and better reputation
than any other proprietary medicine of the
present day. At this period there are but few
unacquainted with the merits Of the Pain
Killer; but while some extol it as linment,
they know but little Of its power in easing
pain when taken internally, while others use
ituternally with great success, but are equally
ignorant of its healing virtues when applied
externally. We therefore, wish to say to all
that it is equally successful whether used in
ternally or externally, and it stands to-day,
unrivalled by all the great catalogue of Fami-
~ Medicines. 1t is sufficient evidence of its
virtues as a standard medicine, to know that
it is now used in all parts of the world and
that its sale is constantly increasing. Nocur-
alive ageut has had such widespread sale or
given such universal satisfaction. 1t is a
purely vegetable compound, and perfectly
safe, e+en in unskirful hands.
