hurtful, and when she could get chance
would smash his bottle. 1t SO happened
one day when he had been cheated out of
his drinks, that he came into the house
in the morning looking very sad and de-
ected. His affectiouate wife discovered
that something had gone wrong, and
earnestly inquired the cause. The old
man said to her, in rather an evasive
manner, that he had dreamed terrible
dream, which excited the old lady to
know what it was, that had produced
such perceptable effect upon him. She
says, pray what is it OH it is some
thing about you, and if tell you, about
it, you will be mad No, l won't do

that this place was very scant on it for
Injuries, but this dont't look like it. This
is victuals, drink and lodgings. Said one,
this is an extra occasion. Our superin-
tendent said we might take this day as a
holiday, as old Mrs. b., was going to
lie soon, and come into the family, and
he thought it was no more than right that
we should have one day to enjoy our
selves, as it would be the last through
all eternity. The old lady bit her lips
and said nothing.

4 OBITUARY.-Dea. Gillian Crane of
Bridport, an old and valued citizen, died
at his residence on Friday the 25th Of
Oct, after a long and protracted illness,
at the age Of IA years. Dea. Crane was
born in cumberland, Ulster Co.. in 1897
Ulster was then, one of the frontier coun.
tvs of the U. s. His father was sol.
der Of the Revolution, of Puritanic
stock, and an earnest and devoted Christ
ian, never having been blessed with ruch
Of this worlds good, yet he was rich in
faith, having the assurance of an inheri-
lance that fadeth not away. Dea. Crane
came with his parents to Bridport in 1907
when he was ten years old, and always
resided there until his death In Nov.
1922, he married Miss Cynthia Holman,
and had his life been spared few weeks
longer they would have celebrated their
Golden Wedding. He was the father OF
thirteen children, eleven of whom survive
4 him. One daughter died in infancy, and
his son Chauncy gave his life for his
country, In the late rebellion.
The subject of this notice commenced
life without patrimony meeting poverty
in the face at every turn, yet with indus
try and frugality, he at length became
one Of the most independent citizens of
the town. His heart was always open to
every object of benevolencc, and the poor
were never turned away empty from his
door. Long will he live in the memory
Of those he succored, in time Of need.
lie has left an example worthy to be i'm
itated worthy to be remembered 20 be
admired. The most noble element that
he possessed was his Christian character,
during the great revival in 1881, he pub.
liciy protested Christ, and in the autumn
Of the same year, he united with the Con.
gregational church. being then in the Wig
or and strength Of God, he made re-.
ligion the every day business of life. He
took an especial interest in the organiza.
ton of the Sunday school, and it was an
object that lay near his heart as long as
he lived. In 1888 he was unanimously
elected deacon Of the church. which of.
flee he filled acceptably for seventeen
years. During his long and protracted
Illness Of more than two years, it was his
daily practice to read several chapters in
the Bible, which he often remarked was
his meat and drink aud his sick room
will attest, that he earnestly prayed for
the salvation of his children the pros.
perity of the church, and the upbuilding
of the Redeemer's kingdom, in the,world.
Being perfectly conscious that the time
OF his departure was near, he arranged
: all his temporal affairs; even 10 express.
ing his wish in regard to his funeral, in
the selection Of his friends as bearers he
then gently fell asleep in Jesus. We
here see the consistency and dignity of a
christian life; and the satisfaction of a
christian hope Such life bears in it a
seli'demonstrating power; such hope is
an evidence of its own priceless value
On that stormy Sabbath, We took his
precious remains and placed them in q
spot of his own selection, there to rest un-

Every year increases the POPULAR
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair q splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
