BETTE is dead How strange the sound
To friends who loved her much;
Earth has no purer jewel found,
Heaven has many such.
Fair child, she is gone; God has severed
One link from the loving four;
An angel mother was made to smile
AS she met her on the heavenly shore.
Gentle wife, how sad the blow
To loving husbands life; mo more,
The places that knew her shall know her
"She's gone! Ny poor little witc.'
Loving mother, brave young mother,
Another tie still binds thee here:
Lowly bend thy pure white pini0ns,
Sheltering ever thy baby dear.

From .the Christian Advocated
This worthy minister of Jesus Christ
has been passing through fierce and
fiery ordeal. On the 18th of December
last his left forearm was caught ia a
cotton~gin apa raoat horribly mangled.
Calm and selfpossessed, he extricated
his limb, came down from the gin, walk
ed to a dwelling near by, aud got a
friend to tie the several veins and arter-
les; otherwise he might have bled to
death before the Physician arrived.
Dreadful as was the wound, Drs. Mich
OILS and Joyce concluded to try the yir-
tue of conservative surgery" rather
than amputation. The patient did we'll
until attacked by that almost incurable
malady, tetdnHs, under which he labor
ed for at least week or ten days. Dur
ing this time his friends and physicians
could scarcely entertain any hope of his
recovery; indeed, he was more than ono Q
reported dead. While he was thus
nigh unto death, Brother Jno. =. Nc
Ferrin and myself visited him, in com~
pany, and fO9nd MIN rational, and eX~
ceedingly glad to see us. He gave US
the sweet assurance that he was -" on the
Rock, trusting in Jesus, and looking
for the better home" For some wise
and holy purpose, no doubt, God has
spared the life of his servant, our broth>
er, and Le IS again able to to go up to the

Saturday at the qusrterly~meeting at
Nebo. He and his good wife had walks
ed two or three miles to church rather
than risk the jostling of bis crippled arm
by horsebac1; ride over a billy coun-
try. He was present at every service
during the occasion, both day and night,
and was greatly blessed. His heart
glowed with gratitude to the Eiver of
all good, and ''swelled pnQtterably full
of glory and of God" He now carries
his wounded arm upon pillow, but 1t
is hoped that he will one day haYe pret-
ty fair use OF it. His general health is
comfortable. Long may he live to hon.
