Mr.. EDITOR-I saw notice in late

Yied lady who left her husband and

barked for foreign land to do mission

that degreeof fervent love which be-
comes every true wife and christian
mother to exercise toward sucn, aud
yet at the same time be- able to leave
them. with the great probability of
of never meeting them again on earth.
One or two questions suggest them
selves to my mind. First-Does the
Lord require, under the present cir
cumstances OF the foreign board of
missions, such q sacrifice from any wife
and mother as this lady has under
gone? Sec0nd-Have We not q suffi-
cheney, and even mole than the board,
under its present embaI rassed condi-
ton, is able to send out of unmarried
,C0nle'l, and also women who are the
wives of missionaries with the hus-
bands to accompany them TO the for
eign field without separating husbsnd
and wife, and taking the mother away
from her tender offspring, over which
God has given her the special care?
am, and always have been, an
earnest friend and advocate Of the

understand this case, that 1t is an ex-

out in the least impugnin: the motives
of this lady-fOr Ihave no doubt she is
truly sincere-yet feel very confident
that there ia a sufficiency OF unmarried
ladies as above stated, In the church,
who are willing to 60, just as soon as
the board can procure the means to

upon it as setting very bad preceden,

Where there is so much rivalry as in the
manufacture of family medicines, he who
would succeed must give positive and con-
vincing proof of merit. This is an age of in
quiry. People take nothing for granted. They
must know the .'whys" and wherefores !"
before acknowledging the superiority of one
article over another. Among the Few prepa-
rations that have stood the test, those manu-
factured by K. V. Pierce, NJ. D., of the
Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y, have for
many years been foremost. The truth of any
statement made concerning them can be easily
ascertained, for DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy
and DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery
are now prescribed by many physicians in
curing obstinate cases of Catarrh and incipi-
ent Consumption. The Discovery has no
equal in curing Coughs, Colds, Bronchial and
Nervous Affections. 1t allays all irritation OF
the mucous membrane, aids digestion, and
when used with DR.. Pie. ce's Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets readily overcomes torpid krer aud
Constipation, while the Favorits Prescription
has no rival in the field of prepared medicine
in curing diseases peculiar to females. If you

OF the past events the most exciting
occurred On hast Friday, 23rd inst
Two of our young bloods, Will r. aud
Albert c., having some time since con-
ceived the idea that their respective
caliings in life were altogether too in
feri0r fer young men of their natural
endOwments, concluded to enter into a
Q co-partnership and start circus in
opposition to Robson and Forepaueh.
D.sdaining such exercises as the tra-
peze and slack-rope, and thinking that
the tricky mule was Indispensable te
every well organized circus, they ac-
cordingly prevailed on Mr.. C. to let
them have his "Jack Mule" to train,
agreeing to remunerate him with half
the net proceeds. First they must see
if the mule would work, SO they rented
a high wheeled sulky to break him in
the sulky was only intended for one
person t. ride in al a time-but they
concluded they could remedy that by
one sitting on the others lap. Every.
thing In rediness they took the lin, .
and told the tea nen, who were holding
the mule, to Let him 60. At first Jack
refused to start, but after considerable
persuasion ia which "hickery" was
predominant he started, they drove out
of town 6on q mile or so and back and
everything seemed lovely when-alas
for human expectations, as they were
entering town, on their return, dog
slipped up and canght the mule by the
heels; for an instant all was huShed as
the mule was seen standing on his
head and the sulky spinning around
like a top. The managers, however,
kept their seats and the mule started
down street with the velocity of light.

loose but the shafts, and the boys were

THE Philadelphia Times conclude.
an editorial article with the following
advice to its Democratic brethren:
The tribunal was born in the sore
travail o! an imperiled Republic, and
though Its offspring be deforined and
prove sharper than serpent's tooth
10 its parentage, it was the accepted
law Of the nation, and its Judgment Il
the lawful Judgment of the sovereign
power 0f the country. Oregon justly
belongs to Mr.. Hayes, and the only
additional wound that the shattered
trust Of the Nation can now suffer,
would be for partisan vote to decide
that State. If there shall be seven
votes against counting Oregon for the
candidate for whom the people admit
ediy voted, it will prove that even
when the gravest problems of law and
Justice were to be solved before the
first Judicial tribunal of free govern
ment, Hayes had a party and Tilden
had q party, but the Republic had
none.

UNION TOWN.

Mary Williams, daughter of DAME
Williams, died of consumption, OF
Monday the 18th inst, aud her body
was inferred in the Friends bury inc
ground near Flushing, on the following
| wednesday. Her lite was a cOLtinHed
preparation for death, and when death
Came he brought to her heart no terror,
nothing but u feeling of rest and peace.
The high regard and esteem felt for her
as lody of true piety and social worth
caused many TO assemble to witness the
last sad ceremonies and 10 express sym:
pathy for those who mourn her loss.
There was prOtracted "sitting," and
as there are times when "speech is sill
yer and silence golden" NJ words
broke the solemn ctillness, but each
cOmmuned with their own heart ip
the presence of Him who hath power
to give life and hath power to take il
away. The funeral cortege was very
large. Before. lowering the coffin In
the grave there was few moments OF
silent service-when the grave was
filed it was resumed and then the
voice of .'sister" rang out clear and
pure, prepare to meet thy Gnd," she
disconrsed for few brief moments moi
of the dead, or to the dead, but to the
living and OF those things which con-
Germ their eternal peace. The wind
went soughing amid the branches of the
oak above-the bright sunshine came
glinting from behind the clouds and
cast glory on the lowly graves, and
as we stood there we recognized the
awful solemnity of death, r-joiced In
our belief in the Resurrection Body"
and recalled to memory the verses oil
Quaker Poet ( Whittier)-
"Alas for him who never sees
The stars shine through his cypress ices,
who hopeless lays his dead away,
Nor looks to see the breaking day
Across the mournful marbles play"
Who hath not learned in hours of faith
The truth to flesh and sense unknown,
: That Life is ever Lord of Death,
And l6Ue can feper lose its o,on.
