residence of her father at Ridge Spring
$. c., little CARRIE BRIGGS infant
daurhter of Mr.. and Mrs. M. W. WAT.
SON. aeed,on year and3 days.
She came as scintillation from the ex.
istence of God, and passed through hel
little tenement of clay up to Him who
gave her being, to shine as star in the
presence of Jesus and to bask In the sum
light on His love. May the hearts of the
afflicted parents be turned to God, who
is able to wipe away all tears from their
eyes.
The little bud has gone to bloom
In Gods eternal loves;
To shed its fragrance all around,
In that bright world above. ;. ,

+. DIED, at her father's residence, IN II
tus county, Texas, On 11th May, 1s13,
Miss LONIE E. SMITH, in the 23rd
year of her age. 80
In this sad atf1iction the poetic aphor-
ism, 'tDeath loves shining mark" 1s
strikingly exempIi6ed, orin her were
exemplifed all those characteristics that
mark the true woman. In early life
" she chose that good part, which ever
shown .taBohts her like a halo Of glory.
In all the;duaes osafe She Manifested
that Christian for bearanc ce& &meekness and
charity which are the fruits of righteous
ness.
That fell disease, consumption, clutch
ed her in its grasp, and for fiveAand q
half long months she bore all its pangs
with christian resignation. ~
Fully conscious of the approach of
death, she manifested no fear, for to her
"the path to glory. seemed as clear as
thenoonday sun. qsJust before her death
SHE called her father and %mothef.te'her
bedside, and told them that she soon
would be with shining hosts above, With
trembling hand and falterfng voice she
babe them last farewell, then gently
reclining on her pillow shefell asleep In
the arms of Jesus. '.f-.
Thus passed away an affectionate sis.
ter a dutifu1 daughter and a devoted
christian.

ignated them, (torging note of hand and

jury he didn' like their looks, so he prepared
an affidavit for continuance, setting forth the
absence of principal witness. He read it in
whisper to the prisoner, WIN, shaki ing his head,
said: Squire. | can't swearto that dokyment."

SOMETHING WoRTH KNowING.-M Medical
men advise that salt be taken with nuts, espe
cally when eaten at night. Zone time, ~ saws
a :, writer, whilst enjoying a visit from an
Engllshman, hickory nuts were served in the
evening, when my English friend asked for salt,
stating that he knew of the case of woman
eating heartily of nuts in the evening, who
was taken violently i'll. The celebrated DR..
Abernethy was sent for, but it was after he had
become rather too fond of his cups. He NUT
tered salt, salt, of which no notice was
taken. Next morning he went to the place,
and she was a corpse. He said that had thew
gwen her salt it would have relieved her. If
they would allow him to make an examination.
he would convince them. On opening the
stomach the nuts were found in mass He
sprlnkled salt on this, and Immediately it dis

Lent commenced Wednesday week-called
Wednesday from u custom in the Roman
Catholic Church Of sprinkling ashes on the
heads OF penitents who began penlnce on that
day-and the usual services of the "holy sea-
son" are being held in the Episcopal church.
1t is said that the origin of the observance of
this season of humiliation is generally attrib-
uted to piuus regard for the words of our
SaviOr-"Ihe day shall come when the bride
groom shall be taken away from them, and
then shall they fast in those days" Originally
1t was the custom to observe the hours inter
vening between the afternoon of the day on
which was cOmmemOrated the Cruciixion and
the morning of the following Sunday, on which
was celebrated the resurrection of Christ.
This fasting period has only about forty hours.
After time the observance was changed to
much longer periods, and finally a period
dating from, aud including the Wednesday of
the seventh week preceding Easter Day, was
settled upon as an annual season for special
fasting, humiliation and prayer This period.
by excluding the Sundays, which were always
feast days, from fasting days, left just forty
days for the fast, number chosen in cOmmem-
Grafton of the forty days for the fast of Christ
IN the wilderness. In some respects also it
was probably following of the example of the
Jewish Church in fasting forty days before the
Passover, the Great type of the Sacrifice of
Christ upon the Cross
