pleasant interview with number OF
the citizens, in which he expressed him
self as being very favorable to Martins

way consistent with their mutual inter

of wood on hand which we will use up

DEATH OF Rev. Dr. ANDRKws.-
The daily papers of Baltimore have al
ready announced the death OF Rev. G..
w. Andrews, D. d. of Virginia. This
distinguished gentleman has for num-
Der of years been Rector of the Episco-
pal Church of Shepherdstown, hut he
died at Fredericksburg. He was on
his way to the Convocation of the State
which was about to assemble at Rich
mond, but was overtaken by violent
attack of pneumonia, and after short
and painful illness he died in the Goth
year of his age.
DR.. Andrews was a native Of New
England, but came to Virginia when
young man and has spent the greatest
part Of his useful life in the service of
bis Parish at Shepherdstown. He led
life of unceasing labor and energetic
piety in the small sphere in which he
prepared to pass his life, and although
he had long been eminent in the coun-
ellis of his church and had gained rep
utation tor learning which gave him a
national prominence as an ecclesiastical
list, he steadily refused all temptations
to change his residence and all calls to
wealthy Parishes in various cities. He
lived among people who were devo-
ted to him personally aud as minister
and where his influence was SO great as
to be almost incalculable.
DR.. Andrews while attending faith
fully to the active duties of his Parish
and the constant demands made upon
his time by the community in which
he lived, he was close student and
the author of number of works and
newspaper articles on subjects connec-
ted with the church. He was the re-
cognized leader of the "Low Church"
branch of the Episcopal Church in the
South and bis ability and sincerity were
acknowledged and appreciated by bis
opponents of the High Church party.
He was a terse writer, avigorous think
er and his writings were characterized
by a close and logical style.
1t would be almost impossible to
over-estimate the value of DR.. Andrews
life to the people among whom he spent
It and the heavy loss of his death. That
community will in all probability "nev.
er look upon his like again" Having
gained a reputation for purity and high
integrity of character, earnest piety and
unfaltering industry, his labors are en-,
ded at last aud he is at rest in the midst
of q people whom he so nobly served,
and who will cherish his memory for
long years to come.
DR.. Andrews was buried in the Gene
terry near Shepherdstown, on Wednes-
day afternoon, while ten of mis- fellow
clergynen conducted the funeral SER
vices and the great gathering of the
people around bis grave testified to the
love and respect which his holy life had
won for him.-HagersfoUn Mail.

at very low prices, and country mer-

low as at any Wholesale house in the

Short Story for the Girls.

A bright little girl was playing cro-
quet, and knocking her ball with the
intention of placing it in position so
that she could pass through the wicket
when her time to play should come
again, was somewhat displeased to see
it roll too far, so that she was still out
of position. Without uttering a word
of complaint, however, she walked quiz
city to the ball, and with her foot roll
ed it to the place where she had EN-
dcavored to have it sop. Another en-
gagged in the game saw il, and kindly
reproved her; told her it was wrong,
and if she learned to do things which
were wrong in small things, like game
of pleasure, she would lie more likely
10 do so in large things when she should
be thrown into the greatest struggles
of life. To this she readily responded,
why, ! saw grandma place her ball
before the wicket the same way awhile
agoT Aud no argument seemed to
convince her but that it was right to
thus take advantage of her playmates,
because she ''saw her grandmother do
the same thing"
Thus an innocent little girl CHANGED
to be the observer of an act by one to
whom she looked for an example, aud
thus little mind was poisoned which
was perhaps as pure as the fresh-fallen
snow. In this way seed is often sown
in the child which must sprout and bear
fruit. "Oh! what must the harvest BET
How careful We should be to avoid
the appearance of evil, and remember
that in the smallest deed the eye OF
some person looking to us for An exam
pie may be upon US.
