oBITUARy-J JOHN J. DAVIS.

JOHN JENKIN DAVIS, who died at
his home in the Welsh Settlement,
town OF Linden, on July 18th, was
born at Bridgend, . Morganshire,
Wales, March 3lst, 1911. In lS43
he emigratsd to, America, first locat-
ling in Pennsylvania, whore he was
employed as an iron worker until
lS49 or 1850. when he came to Wis
consin, and settled on the farm where
his life ended. In childhood he on
joyed no school privileges, and at
the age of 32 did not know the En-.
glish alphabet. Yet in few years
after coming to the U. s. he mastered
the language so as to speak it readily,
and by hard study and indomitahle
perseverance, sometimes under most
discouraging circumstances, and ac-
quired . good rudimsntary English
education, SO that he was well fitted
to fill the different positions in social
and political life, to which he was
ia after years called. For IL years
he was a justice Of the peace, for
several years . town supervisor, and
for one term a member of the Legis-
lature. In all religious and moral
enterprises he took lively interest
and active part. He was an enthus-
iastic temperance worker, and prac-
ticed total abstinence for over 40
years. At the time Of his death he
was On active member OF the order
OF Good Templars. Early in life he
became a christian, and labored
earnestly and consistently for the
cause. At the time Of his sudden
demise and for years had been su-
perintendent of the fourishing Sab
bath School in i.is. neighborhood.
AS q citizen he was excelled by none,
native or foreign born, in devotion
to his adopted country as a neigh
Dor, the esteem in which he was
held, and the uniformity with which
he was looked to as IN exemplar
and guide by those surrounding him,
most eloquently attest his excellence.
10 let pass no opportunity of do
ing good or giving pleasure to those
with whom he came in contact was
rule of his life.
The circumstances of his death
were substantially as stated hereto
fore. During the day on which he
died he had been as cheerful and
apparently healthy as usual. His
son William, going toward his father
where he was employed, unsuspect-
ing anything, saw him standing !,
approaching within few yards, Mr.
Davis was seen to straighten up,
and heard to say, "Oh, dear" and
Immediately fall. Running TO him,
his son found him speechless, and
after drawing few breaths, died
without . struggle. The funeral con-
course was one of the largest ever
assembled ia Iowa county $50
teams were in the procession, and
each bore load Of mourners.

Let the person whose name you wish to know
inform you in which of the upright columns the
first letter of his name is contained. If it be
found in but column, it is the top letter; if it
occurs in more than one column, it is found by
adding the alphabetical number of the letters Of
these columns, and the sum will be the number of
the letter sought. By taking one letter at time
in this way, the whole name can be aseertained.
For example, take the word Jane. is found in
the two columns commencing with B and II, which
are the second and eighth letters down the alpha
bet; the is ten, and the tenth letter down the
alphabet is J, the letter sought. The next letter,
A, appears in but one column, where it stands at
the top. N is seen in the columns headed B, d
and H these are the second, fourth and eighth
letters of the alphabet, which, added, give the
fourteenth, or N, and so on. The of this table

quainted with the foregoing explanations.

"THE GENT AS WORE THE SHAWL. The man
who always makes guy of himself by wearinga
shawl when cold weather is in town, put it on one
morning last week, and started down Main street.
An acquaintance met him and said:
"Why don't you buy an overcoat! Too pOOrS
I've got a good one, only been worn one winter,
and I'll sell it to you cheap"
The man in the shawl turned red in the face, and
refused to recognize the acquaintance. An Irish
woman came out of a store, little further along,
and seeing him, said:
"Faith, and how the styles do change. Mkt
thing yen see the wimmin wild overcoats."
The man in the shawl pretended not to hear,
and passed by. Just as he was stepping into
store door, miserable looking bOOtblack, who
hangs out at the corner of Exchange, with his
shirt hanging out, spied him, and yelled out, in a
tone of strong sarcasm:
"Oh, LUX at i'm! Why don't yer git on dress
and hustle and be done with il ?"
And the man in the shawl turned round, shook
his fist and danced up and down and swOre. Then
he went into the store and hid the offending shawl
in the cellar, and took solemn oath he never
would wear it again.-Procidence Sunday Dis

A Mite Song.

Only drop in the bucket
But every drop E.'ktellj
The bucket would soon be empty,
Without the drops in the well.
Only a poor little penny,
1t was all had to give;
But as pennies make the dollars,
1t may help some cause to live.
A few little bits of ribbon,
And some toys-they were not new
But they made the sick child happy,
Which has made me happy, too.
Only some outgrown garments
They were all had to spare;
But they'll help to clothe the needy,
And the poor are everywhere.
A word now and then of comfort,
That cost me nothing to say;
But the poor old man died happy,
And it helped him on the way.
God loveth the cheerful giver,
Though the gift be poor and small;
What doth He think of His children
When they never give at all?

POETRY.
Written for the Baltimore County Union
Those Letters Tied Round With
Blue"
BY GEoRGIE.

We raise the lid, and an odor faint,
Like the breath of other years,
Steals out from the little packet laid
Away with our hopes and tears.
With sorrowful sigh we take them out,
Those letters sweet and old,
And bitter pain fills the heart again,
AS their pages unfold.
For they tell story of passionate love
That once heart and soul did thrill;
Even as we read, the feeling DID,
Steals Ger our senses still.
Yet he who traced those burning words,
Now kneels at another shrine,
And remembers no more the letters he wrote,
Nor his love of the "auld lang syne."
So with bitter smilo at the memories they bring
Of that story so old yet so new,
We lay them away-but wo never forget
"Those letters tied round with blue"
