OBITUARY.

TOMES-Died, at ArcachOn, France, ct IL
Pun, December 2, 1873, SAKAE OTEY TONES,
in tue twenty-third year of her age.
This lovely young woman was the second
child OF Rev. Charles Tones and Henrietta c.
Tones daughter Of the first Bishop OF ennes
see. Their many friends will weep for the loss
OF so much beauty and Wor to the loving
hearts that claimed her affection on earth.
But they must lcok beyond the clouds that
encompass them, and dwell on the immortal
joy OF the freed spirit singing the praises OF
the Redgemer with sainted father and grand
parents, and many loved ones OF the house
hold band gathered in the better land. Her
suderings were intense, but some OF her latest,
difficult utteTances were: " / feel that Jesus
no DIS me in His arms, and shields me nom
temptation, but the Strength does not come
" Give messages of love TO all love, mamma"
Her last words were: " Patience, patience"
Named for the gifted ard beloved daughter
Bishop Otey so m urned, she, like her, was
called away in her virgin purity TO serve in
the courts of heaven.
The precious shrine which held this pure
aud noble spirit is temporarily laid away at
ArcachOn, the scene OF ner last hours. In the
spiing her deeply AFFLICTED mother will bring
her fifth child to lie by the side of their
fathers dust in Mt. Olivet Cemetery, Nash
vile, Tennessee. IN the words for the lesson
for to-day, let US remember, i" the righteous is
taken from the evil TO come V. -. NJ.

CARE OF GoLD PIsH There Gre few
prettier household pets than gold fish,
and perhaps none SO constantly lost
through the want of knowledge how to
care for them. A gentleman gives the
following directions for the care of these
dsh: Use any well, creek or mineral
water that is not impregnsted with mini
ersl. Change the water when the fish
come to the top and stay there and
breath part water and part air. Take
out nearly all the water, leaving enough
for the fish to swim in and fill the vessel
with fresh water. Never take the fish
in your hand. If the aquarium needs
cleaning, make n net of mosquito netting
and take the fish out on it. There arc
many goldfish killed by handling. Keep
your aquarium clean SO that the water
looks as clear rs cristal. Watch the fish
q little and you will find out when they
are all right. Feed them, AS they will
eat worms, meat, fish water or spawn
Take care that you take out all in the
aquarium that they do not eat. Any de-
cayed meat or vegetable water has the
same smell to fish that it has to you in
the air. If your gold fish die it is attrib-
n,ed, as a rule, to one of three caused
handling, starvation or bad water.
