"In the midst of life we are in DEATH"
Died. on the 18th day of March, 1871,
Mrs. SABRE E., consort of DIR. John E.
Price.
Less than twelve months ago a marriage
notice appeared in the HERALD AND
TRIBUNE; the above named lady was one
of the party, then bearing upon her fea-
lures the impress of health. How soon
can the blooming cheek grow pallid the
strong and vigorous be subdued by the
conqueror, Death! How c~onsoling is the
thought that as she calmly breathed her
life away. she said to those around, Sing
to me of Heaven"
She for sixteen or eighteen years had
been a faithful member of the Christian
Baptist Church, a devoted Christian :;
nothing vacated her seat in the Church ex-
cept sickness; her voice was also heard in
the Sabbath School and to-day, while her
body sleeps in its silent abode, the %vicini-
ty ir which she lived, abounds with child
rem, having indelibly stamped upon the
tablets of their tender hearts. important
lions in the Sabbath School. Little girls
forget them not and as you visit that time
worn Church in which you nave often met
her, think the more seriously Of the les
sons she has taught you and try to follow
her example.
Age had not matured her for the grave,
but time had ripened her for eternity.
No wonder the Church is bowed in sor-
row for one of her strongest pillars Is gone.
She leaves behind a mourning husband
and an infant child. unconscious of its de-
parted mother. May it meet with kind
ones and be the recipient of such treat
ment as can only be given by a mother.
And while We deeply sympathize with the
husband we would say to him. weep not
you nave a tie In heaven strive therefore
to enter in. B.. w. A.

Woman'S

Or Biographical Sketches of Distinguished
Women. By Mrs. S. j. HALE. With
more than 200 Portraits.
This is a work of great value. A living
book like "Woman's Record" should,
from time to time, be revised and enlarg-
ed. The contents of this book are sure
to be highly valued by all who are capable
of approaching womanly excellence.
The Third Edition has been prepared in
order to give woman her true Saxon
name and to add aSynopssis for Woman's
Record, thus making the work complete.
The Publishers, Harper & Brothers have
done their part we'll.
The book is being sold by subscription.
Agents are wanted to whom liberal com
missions will be paid. Here is a chance
for agents to make money by selling a
book that will greatly benefit every one
who may read it. On the right influence
of women depends the moral improvement
of society and condition of the female scS
decides the destiny of the nation, as is
observed in the introduction of the work.
Sketches of all the distinguished wo.
m en- from the creation to A. ID. 1868. are
given and arranged in four eras.-Each
era contains selections from its authOresses

ITEMS FROM THE CENSUS.

No doubt, many believe that it will be
a long time before the people become full
ly aroused to the Importance of Common
Schools. So many difficulties are in the
way that it looks like a gloomy prospect
for the children of the County. Careless
ness, perhaps, more than anything else,
hinders the progress of education. The
people talk so little, think so little about
this subject that it is very imperfectly I'M
derstood.
In the 4th Civil District (Williams'),
there are 136 persons above the age of ten
years that cannot read, and 255 who are
unable to write. This district has III
voters and a scholastic population of 273.
The entire population numbers sos. Of
the scholastic population (273), 167 at
tended school sometime during last year.
1t will be seen that at least one half the
children attended no school at all. No
interest ought to be dearer to the people
than the welfare of their children. In this
district, are 27S children, some of whom
will soon become voters ard oficeholders,
to take the place of the III voters who
determine to some extent, at least, wheth-
er we shall have a school system or not.
How important that our children have
better opportunities than our fathers!
The School houses of this district are
not such as to attract attention, unless it
be of those who are on the lookout for the
picturesque. 1t has no permanent school.
The people take considerable interest in
schools, but not so much as the welfare of
the children or the prosperity of the coun-
try demands.
Many clever things might be said of the
people of the 4th district. One thing.how-
ever, is certain, the school house is too
much neglected and Common Schools too
little encouraged. The district does not,
however, compare unfavorably with others
n the county.

The Pleasures Of "a school Girl

The Pleasures ef a SchOS Girl.
For the Herald and Tribune.
What a glorious thing is youth Full
of warm condolences, generous impulses
and high hope, flowing from the heart like
the Liquid lapse of murmuring streams"
1t is a period alike interesting to both
sexes, but peculiarly SO to a girl.
See her as she stands on the threshold
of girlhood No fairer picture can b
wrought by the fancy. The smiles IL,

cheeks, chasing the dimples in and out
Love nestles in every soft ringlet. and
Beauty sits enthroned on the soft heaven
of her eyes
To her the earth is full of loveliness
Everything is tinted with the delicate hue
of the rose. Bright hopes lead her on
strewing fragrant flowers in her pathway.
And why should this not be? Life to
her is an untried reality. She has just
begun to study its mystic characters. She
trusts with the simplicity of a little child.
Deception has never poisoned her mind.
Her aspirations begin to dawn she dis
covers her latent powers, and with a hap
Ply heart she commences her march up the
Hill of Science" The way may seem
steep and rugged, but the rough points
are gilded with a soft light reflected from
the animating face of hope.
Her very dreams are to her a world OF
pleasure. Her associations and warm
friendships are never ending sources Of
delight.
With equal jest she plays her pranks, Oh
enters into the solution of an intricate
problem.
Who that has watched her tripping
merrily on her way, or heard the music
of her laugh ringing out on the clear all
like the silvery chimes of a bell 'has not
felt his heart thrill with delight?
