Obituary.

Died, Monday, 2sth September, ult., Miss Sabila
A. Stone, In the Goth year of her age. The days of
her years were prolonged far beyond three score
years and ten, yet through the loving kindness of
her Heavenly Father "their strength was not labor
and sorrow" fine constitution, preserved by tenn
perate and regular habits, almost uninterrupted
health, competent means, length of days. exemption
from the infrnities of old age, uncouded faculties,
the auectOnate ministratons OF relatives and
friends, we,e the temporal blessings she received
from her Heavenly Fathers benencenJ hand From
the eXhaustess treasury of His grace she received,
as we trust and believe the richer blessings of an
ingenious repentance, living faith. the lndwellipg
of the Holy spirit and acceptance In the Beloved.
Her ample means were liberally bestowed in un-
ostentatious charity. NO appeal by the really DIS,
tressed was ever made to her inVain The poor and
the wretched she regarded as the representatives
OF her Savior upon earth appointed by Himself IN
those touching words ''as much as you have done IL
to of the least of these, you have done II unto
me-" Not few persons who have attained distinc-
tion and wealth remember with gratitude the as
sstance they received from her ut their outset in
life.
was shed abroad through His Holy Spirit, she pos
sessed refined taste and keen relish of the
beauties of nature. She looked with exquisite
pleasure upon beau iful landscape, gorgeous
sunset, the lOveliness OF flowers (wth which she
was constantly surrounded and whose unfolding
beauties she delighted to watch because she looked
up through them to Natures God
.Ihe weight of 90 yea rested lightly upon her.
With the exception OF dulness of hearing, she had
none OF the inImites either mental or physical, OF
old age. An accident which happened her some
years ago confined her since 10 her room. Here her
friends were received with pleasant smile and q
cordial greeting, here cases OF distress were heard
and relieved, here her Bible was constantly read
and frequently marked and noted, here she COM
muned with her Heavenly Father here was none OF
the petulance OF mbecllity nor the murmurlngs OF
ingratitude. but trus ful and grateful commital
of her way to Him whose loving kindness and ten
der mercy had attended her all the days of her life
here, too came her summons home, and here, min
istered unto with devoted affection by relatives who
loved and venerated her as mother, she departed
to be- as we believe, forever with the Lord.

employment for women.

Discoveries of fit and profitable occupations
for needy women are always to be noted with
satisfaction, Intelligence of pleasant industry
for women comes from Cincinnati, where many
have learned wood-carving in the McMicken
School of Design. The details of this work, 10
full of delicate beauty, gave them more delight
than trouble, and they have grown rapidly to use
their own taste and invention in design and con-
structon. The results of this employment may
bs applied to furniture or to ornamental and less
useful articles. instruction in designing tile
decorations is now given in the school, and the
tiles are baked in the city. In tha school OF de-
sign of the Maryland Institute, in Baltimore,
many young women acquire proficiency, and

Personal.

Mr.. Gardner Brewer, the well-known Boston
merchant, died at his residence in Newport, r..
f., yesterday morning.
1t was rumored at Richmond, Va, yester-
day, that a duel was imminent between General
William Malone and General Bradley Il. john
son. Both Malone and Johnson were reported
to have left the city. 1t appears that during a
primary election for State Senator, on Monday,
circulars were distributed by the johnson party
severely rejecting on Malone, which caused
the doughty Malone to "demand an explana-
ton" from the redoubtable johnson.
