Died, in Harrisonburg, Va, November Nth Mrs.
MARY Bell WALKER, wife Of DR.. B. +. Walker, In
the 40 year of her age
The deceased connected herself with the Mount
Horeb church in the year 1858. She was from this
time until the day of her death, growing, earnest
and decided Christian. Her piety was OF that type
that impressed itself on both the christian and the
unbeliever. She had no doubts on her mind al.
ways confessed that she was poor sinner but ap
propriated Jesus as her own and only Saviour; and
so great was her trust in Christ and his all sufficient
righteousness that her faith grew into an assurance
and there was no cloud over her spiritual vision.
She was great sufferer for many years, and she did
not expect many months before her death, that she
would ever recover again. She felt assured that her
time was short; and she said, 'My only desire in
living is that may be useful to those who are near
and dear to me and that may see all whom love
so much in the flesh, born into the kingdom of Cod
and prepared to meet me in heaven" As far as she
was concerned the day of her departure, was hap
Ply thought, for it would be to her day of release
from her body of sin and suffering and day of Joy
and rest She was always cheerful and full of hope
and she loved to meet with and converse with those
who loved to talk about Christ. Her sick room was
to all her friends an inviting place and all who went
to see her once, et desire to see her again. Her
Elder remarked, that he felt it good TO be with
her and that he always come away feeling spirilu-
ally bsnef ted. Her pastors, and other ministers,
who conversed with her, esteemed it a great privi
lege to minister at her bedside. cuated by feel
ings OF affection for her loved ones who felt the
deepest interest in her. and solictude for her recov
cry, about six weeks ago she visited Harrisonburg
with the hope that some change in medical treat,
ment would prove beneficial, but it pleased the
| Father to take her, while there, to himself. Her
last hours were peaceful and happy. She had no
fear of the last great enemy. When he came, she
was ready; and folding her arms across her east,
she said Nov let me sleep" She fell asleep in
Jesus She leaves an aged mother, devoted hus.

Mrs. ELIZA A. NEU, wife OF the Rev. VIM. Neil,
died at the residence of her son.in law, the Rev j.
g. Rice, D. D., in Franklin, Tenn, November 9th,
in the 66th year of her age.
Her illness was short and painless. Without suf.
fering, the Lord gave her sleep. Without fear she
passed through the valley of the shadow of death.
He was with her. His rod and his staff they COM
forted her. For many years she was a faithful and
consistent Christian-a member of the Presbyterian
church. For more than forty years the wife of an
earnest minister of the gospel, she fulfilled all the
duties of her station; cheerfully going with him
wherever God called him to abor and patiently
sharing with him the hardships and sacrifices which
his calling demanded she strove to do her duty in
her lot. In her long life she knew much of sorrow
and afii ton, which she bore with meekness and
resignation; and which the Lord blessed TO her
spirit She was a woman of rare strength of mind
and character, very tender heart, and refined cul-
tUre. She was slngularly unselhsh. Kind and
thoughtful for all, sacrifice too great to make
for those she loved. She was by nature person on
whom her loved ones depended-to whom they
looked for guidance and support. By her ready
sympathy and wise counsels, she gave efficient aid
to her husband, in his long and arduous labors -
Now in his old age he mourns one who was truly
help-meet for him.
With ge teness frmnesS and wisdom she trained
her children in the nurture and admoniton of the
Lord; and when they grew up aud took their places
in the field of life, they still gave her reverence ana
love- Hers was quiet, unostentatous lite but it
was useful aud many have experienced its benedc-
tons. Her only trust was the merit of the Lord Je
sus Christ. His blood her only plea-Hs grace her
only strength. We thank God that he enabled her
to live such life and gave her peace in DEATH
While the departure of such one brings sorrow it
is a sorrow chastened and frightened by hope For
if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even
so then also which sleep in Jesus will God bring
with him. e" Blessed are the dead which die in the
Lord from henceforth: Yea so tn the Spirit, that
they may rest from their labors, and their works do
follow them" She hath entered into rest.

1t is with men as with trees. If
you lop off their finest branches, into
which they were pouring their
young life-juice, the wounds will
be healed over with some rough
boss, some odd excrescence and
what might have been a grand tree
expanding into liberal shade is but
q whimsical, misshapen trunk.
Many an irritating fault, many
an unlovely oddity, has come of a
hard sorrow, which has crushed
and named the nature just when it
was expanding into plenteous beau
ty; and the trivial, erring life
which we visit with our harsh
blame may be but as the unsteady
motion of a man whose best limb
is withered.-George Flint.

station, among whom was a certain
revivalist of the hard-shell per-
suasion Mr.. RI was intro
duced to this person, and modestly
extending his hand, said:
"I'm happy to meet you, sir"
The hard shell drew back, looked
heavenward, and, pointing with his
finger, exclaimed.
"But shall we meet yonder, sir !"
Mr.. R quitely replied, 81 do
not know; I'm going there myself,
and for a commission, will do what
I can to secure the right of way

A SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENTAL
young man in the east end of q
certain city not over five
hundred miles away, who rejoices
in the possession Of a young and
beautiful but exceedingly jealous
wife, executed a shadow pantomine
for her benefit the other night.
During the absence Of the wife at a
neighbor's, the husband cut out of
paper an ingenious arrangement of
q man and woman whose lips APP
preached a proximity not ordinari-
ly recognized outside Of the family
circle. This article was placed be-
fore the gas light, and the shadow
fell clear and distinct on the cur
tain of n window near the side door
usually entered by the family. In a
short time the gate was heard to
open and close, and the hurried
