ORWELL


s'The bells of timeare ringing changes fast;
At each fresh peal tie Is broken here,
Only to be welded over there.
A little more than week ago. Mrs. Per
melia Flower of this place, moved in our
midst, labored with her hands, was at the
bedside Of the sick and afflicted, whispered
words of counsel and comfort in the ear OF
the distressed and bereaved-but death
called and won her. After brief though
severe attack of typhoid pneumonia, which
baffied the skill Of our best physicians, on
the 18th of April she sweetly fell asleep
in Jesus. Though only in her J2d year. 81
of them had been devoted to the work Of
the Master. She took the Bible as her only
creed, and exemplifed its teachings in her
every day walk and conversation.
Her loss is most keenly felt, not only by
her husband and son-Dr. Wallace Flow
er of Shefield-but by the entire commu-
nifty. She was buried in Rome cemetery,
by the side of five of her children, to await
the morning of the resurrection.
In 1860, her brother, c. R. Stone, then
living in Indiana, wrote the following
LINES TO A SISTER.
Sister, in faney's mind oft have painted,
Those little ones you loved so well;
Whose spirits were too pure-too sainted
Long on earth, mid sin to dwell.
But little while they called you mamma,
Called at morning noon and night
For the angels waiting for them,
Took them TO their homes so bright.
This cold earth-it was too chilling
For such lovely Flowers TO bloom,
And side by side, saw them filling
Three little collins, in the tomb.
That spot, dear sister, visit often,
Our Elien's grave you'll find near by,
And as a tear their mound shall soften,
Give one look for absent "Cy.''
And while those graves you are beholding.
To Jesus lOok-our elder brother
With an eye of faith see Him enfolding
children who long to call thee mother

Two days ago, two car loads of veal
calves went to the Pittsburgh market, the
umbilical cords of which, we believe, had
become quite dry. Boarders who complain
of tough meat, would have no occasion
for grumbling.
Spring fever, that usually attacks a fell

in the household. HIG.
