IN MEuOVIAM

"a Wv" N"NiJ N'V'Oi "OhN
MAnoNEY, father of the Proprietor of
Sthe Herald and Tribune, departed this
ghte. lie was born near Harpers' Ferry,
Eva, July 81, 1901, removed with his
Swidowed mother to This county when quite
"a youth, and resided in the same settle
kmcnt where tdey first located up to the
of his death. Last December he
ewas stricken with paralysis in the left side,
Ssince that time nc hal gradually declined
Gill he breathcd his last. Although at
$tlmes suffering intensely, be was never
&kpown to complain, but bore his affection
great patience and fortitude. About
Aforty years ago he united with the NJ. f.
sChurch, and during the greater part of
sthe time since his connection with the
gchurch he has been a faithful and regular.
Eattendant. His scat was seldom vacant
Swhen he was able to attend. That seat
Els now vacant forever, but it is hoped his
sexampla will not be lost upon the young
sand rising generation and hat many
3will Strive to emulate it.
4 Why should We moarn his departure ?
AHe is gone from among us, it is true and
Shis seat in the family is vacant, but
sstrom the assurance he gave us, his spirit
gis gone to the abode of the blessed in
SHeaven where the wicked cease from
Ntroubling and the weary are forever at
&rsst." But there isa hope beyond the
Sgrave that we shall meet again. We live
EiouriSh.and fade s.the leaves of the forest
IA long life is but as fleeting moments.
&Henerations of men appear in quick sues
4 cession and the countless multitudcs that
Athrong the world to-day in a very short
Ntipe disappear and are only remembered
&by the family circle hat has been broken.
@lIow seldom is it That we think of death
Suntil shadows fall across our own paths,
&and takes from us loved ones.
q The subject of this sketch was a kind
kand indulgout parent, q true Christian
land faithful friend, as such he cndeared
8himself to all who came within the circle
,of his acquaintance and while we feel his
Floss and mourn his departure, we are con.
asoled by the thought that the kind and
Sihdulgent acts of his life will cause his
!. memory to remain ever green in the hearts
gof his relatives and friends, who will
Sdeem it a sacred duty to strew his last
I resting place with the flowers of affection
Sand bedew it with the tears of fond re
Sgret.
n Death is the crown of life
q Were death denied, poor man would
a live in vain.
81 Death wounds to cure we fall. We
81 rise, w reign;
II Spring from our letters, fasten to the
" skies,
n Where blooming Eden withers from
n our sight
a This King of ~terrogs is the Prince Of
N peace.

@Fine Saddle.

8know but Mr., Keebler was going to take
ain a house keeper, but on enquiring learn

The PcninsuIar ship Canal.

Col. Forney writes from London that the
project OF the Maryland and Delaware Ship
Canal is now being pushed in financial circles
there, with the view Of selling its bonds. lie
says: s r HH
In this connection the project of constructing
ship canal across the peninsula OF Maryland
and Delaware, uniting the waters OF the Chesa-
peake and Delaware bays, has been much DIS
eussed in London commercial circles. Inns
scheme, which was the subject OF resolution
of Senator Cameron last session, will open up
an immense tract of country to settlement, and
also an incalculable trade between baltimore
and New York. The route, which has been
carefully surveyed by eminent engineers, Is
called the Sassafras route, and the distance
| from the pont of the Sassairas river to the
mouth of the Blackbird Creek on the Delaware
Bay. is seventeen miles. The head OF the
Sassafras river and that OF the BlackbIrd Greek
meet in the centre OF the peninsula at the same
pont, aud formerly the tides of the two great
| bays flowed within three miles OF each other
| Ii is proposed to cut canal across this PENN
sula, which, under the Delaware character
must be at least 25 feet wide aud II feet il
depth. The Maryland charter requires th'
canal to be at least Is feet deep, aud 60 fee
wide upon its surface and 40 feet wide at th'
bottom. The company created ia 1871 unde
these double charters is composed OF some o
the most prominent men in New York, Mary
land aud Delaware. with full powers to issu
J four millions Of bonds, bearing interest at 81
per cent, and capital stock, and is also allowe
ito own ships. To give some idea of tho vas
> advantages of this proposaly nov most favorB
