alone and that Alice was gone, couldn't
help telling my people, and there was a
sob heard that went through the congre-
cation. 1t was from an old lady, friend
of hers, who often told me about her and
spoke of her nobility of soul. Alice Cary
once thought of making cap for her, and
she said, Il will make cap for Mrs.
Brown, but her fingers ached SO and her
arm became so tired, she had to drop it,
and the needle is sticking in that unfinished
cap now, just as she left it. She would
have finished it, but they had finished her
own crown in glory, and she couldn't stay
away from her coronation. And we will
keep that cap with care; and l think Je-
sus win remind her of it, and say, Child,
insomuch as you did it to one of the least
ones, you did it unto me- Should speak
for hours, could only tell how loved
her. She came to me in the winter of my
fortunes, when had very few friends,
and loved her, and will revere her men,
ory forever-forever. And now will not
shed a tear tor Alice Cary am glad she
is gone. l felt at once like saying,
Thanks be to God,' when heard that
the pain was over; and is was so delight
full to go and stand over her and see her
face without a single frown, and to think,
She is gone to her Father and my Father
and ints His hands | commit her."

ALICE CARY.

Rev. DR.. Deems, in his remarks at the
funeral of Alice Cary, said
9"There is one thing in Alice Cary of
which we had better remind ourselves
now, because many of us are working
people, and people who work very much
with their brains; and | see number of
young people who are come out of tender
ness to her memory to the church today,
and there may be among them literary
people just commencing their career, and
they say, Would could write SO beauti-
fully and so easily as she did 1t was not
easily done, She did nothing easily; but
in all this that we read she was an earnest
worker; she was faithful, painstaking,
careful Of improving herself, up to the last
moment OF her life. Yesterday looked
into the drawer, and the last piece of MS,
she wrote turned up, and l said to Phebe,
That Is copied, and she said NO that is
Alice's writing 1t was so exceedingly
plain 1t looked like print in large type,
though she wrote very wretched hand.
But her sister told me that when she came
to be so weak that she couldn't write much
any longer, she began to practice, like lit
tie girl, to learn to form all her letters
anew. She worked to the very last, not
only with the brains but the fingers. When
Phebe wrote me last Sunday that she was

the indisposition Of the Italian, was called
upon to sing the part, which he did in
