Reunion IN ueaten.

Life, all kinds of life, tends 80 cOmpan-
ioDship, and reiOices in it, from the larYe
and buzsing insect cloud up to the kingly
lion and the kiDglier man. 1t ia a social
state into which we are to be introduced,
as we'll as a state of consciousness. Rot
only, therefore, does the Savior pray ioI
His disciples, " Father, l will that those
whom Thou hast given Me be with Me
where I am, that they msy behold My
glory" but those who are III that hea7enlv
recOmpense are said to have come % to
the general assembly and church of the
first-bcrn written in Heaven" Ave.
and better than that, and deaTer TO some
of is, " to the spirits of just men made
perfect"
The recognition Of departed friends in
/ Heaven, and special and intimate reunion
( wit them, scripture and reason enable u'
/ TO inter with almost absolute certainty
! 1t is implied in the fact that the resur
/ TectiOn Is q resurrection Of individuals
/ that it is this mortal that shall put OF
/ immortality. It Is implied in the fac
! that Heaven is avasL and happy society
and is implied in the fact that there il
no UnclOthing of nature that we possess
/ only the clothing upon it OF the garments
of q brighter and more glorious immOr
tality.
Take comfort, then, those of you in
whose history the dearest charities of life
have been severed by the rude hand o
death those whom you have thought
about as lost are not lost except to
present sight. Perhaps even now there
are angel watchers, screened by a kindly
providence from everything about that
would give you pain but if you and they
are alike in Jesus, an remain faithful to the
end, doubt not that you shall know them
again. 1t were strange, don you think
/ if amid the multitude OF earth's ransomed
ones that we are to see in heaven, we
should zee all bat those who we most
fondly and feTvently long to see? Strange
if, in some Of our walks along the golden
streets, we never happen to light upon
them? Strange, if we did not hear some

some clear-ringing voice that we have

Dcnth OF Gen. Forrest .

Gen. y. g. Forrest died ut half past
seven o'clock last night, at the residence
Of Col. Jesse Forrest on Union street.
His disease was chronic diarrhea aud

cal IL August nc was reported dying
at Hurricane Springs but he rallied,
and was a few weeks anerwdrd able to
return to Memphis The disease, how
ever, had taken TOO firm hold on his
system. lie gradually grew worse, until
at last even his once powerful frame and
indOmitahle will succumbed 10 the de-
strOyer.
The events which have made General
Forests name familiar 20 the whole
civilized world occurred but as yesterday.
It seems but a short time since the great
soldier, whose deeds of matchless daring
won for him the sObriquet of the
- Wizard Of the Saddle" threw aside his
sword for the implements Of peace
abandoned the field OF bloody war Tor
the quiet pursuits Of the citizen. It is
not necessary to print an outline of his
military career. 1t II part Of the his
tory of the late war. There were few
important events in the southwest east Of
the Mississippi river in which he was
not a conspicuous actor. In many of
them the brilIiancy Of his genius and the
weight Of his mighty arm turned the
scale.
General Forrest was without military
education. When he entered the con
iederate army he knew absolutely
nothing of military lie. Yet these de-
fects were without influence. lie sue
cecded where Others, trained TO military
pursuits, failed. All things considered,
he was probably the most remarkable
nan the war produced. No one else

The Tesrs OF Chrisf.

From three passages of Scripture we
learn that Jesus wept, when He was
with us upon earth, three separate
times twice did He shed tears tor the
woes of others, aud once for Himself
At the death of Lazarus, Jesus wept.
When He looked upon the Holy city
and knew of the woes that would beiall
her, He wept; and in the garden OF
Gethsemane, in agony of soul and BODY
at the trial which awaited Him, the God
man again she'd bitter tears.
The three occasions when the tears Of
Jesus are recorded happened during the
latter part of His life upon earth. First,
the tears came from sympathy with our
sins second, from pity for our sins, aud
third, for the awiulness of sin. We
doubt not that Jesus wept when He
went up the steep path Of Calvary, aud
when He saw the bitter tears of those
whom He loved the chords Of His sym
pathetic heart were swept with grlef,
and tears of pity fell from the eyes OF
the Son Of God. Jesus seated upon Hs
throne loves just as He loved then ana
He Il lust As human, because lie j. IuSl
as divine. Again, Jesus shed tears OF
pity for the sinner. Scarcely thre'
months had passed since the miracle
Lazarus had stirred the little vlilag"
when Mary, Prompted by mFryeiou-
sympathy, annointed jesus for H.
burial. :" The whole multitude Of d.s
ciples began to rejoice and praise God
with A loud voice fer all the mighty
works they bad seen. And when j..
was come near and beheld the city b.
wept over H." 1t was the suffering OF 4

Pour Strange Girls.

II will be a small drop Of consolation
to the thousands OF honest housewives
who look upon servant girls as nUisaDC5s
to learn that there are four working girls
IN the city of Detroit whose plans and
deeds are worthy of public mention
One of them, the oldest, came to this
country from England about seven
years ago. She was followed alter a
time by a second and a third aud a
fourth, ana during the last three years
the four have held places in families IN the
same neighbOrhOOd. Each one began
saving money from the first. They have
made every effort to please the families
employing them, aud have consequently
been paid extra wages. Every garment
purchased by them has been iOT comfort
and long wear, instead of for show and
style Two of them have never seen the
city hall, though living III the city nearly
three years. None of them have yet
had Il beau or had occasion 10 go to the
stores in the evening. Each one can
sew, patch, darn, put up fruit, make
preserves, cook any dish, tack down 4
carpet, put up a stove, harness hOTse,
make her own clothes and trim her own
hat. Each one has bank account, and
for several years past all have had an
object in view. That object is now al
most accom- pIlSll6O. n lew weeks ago
tney united their savings and purchased
lot in the northern part of the city,
4Ox1gO in size. They then contracted
with builder for Il cottage, which was
ready for occupancy only two or thTes
davs ago. The eldest sister then gave up
her situation and moved in. The fUrui-
| ture was bought here and there, where
! cash would secure bargain, and Il good,
! if not shewy. Many little things were
! contributed by friends, and the little
! home Is as neat as 4 pin.
The eldest sister Will now become q
laundress, having already more work of
that kind than she can do in four days Of
the week. She viii keep house, and be
| a mother to and make n home for the
rest. All own a share, and if sickness
comes to one of the three still acting as
servants, she has place to go to and
! some one to care for her. They will be
| planting trees, setting out vines and
planning improvements as the weeks go
| bv, escn gOOd-naturedly striving TO do
/ more than the ether, and5the little home
will keep their hearts pure and their
minds free from giady thoughts. Each
! Sabbath day they viii gather there to
! feel that II Is home, and to visit with
| and advise each other, and letters from
! father and mother across the wide ocean
! will be opened and read again and again
! through fearful eyes. Are there IOur

WAR NOTES.

The bomhardmento of Plevna continues
in desultory way.
A special dispatch from Shumla says
SIistria is threatened with investment, but is
exceedingly strong in defenseS and full
armed. The garrison is commanded by
Salama Pasha, one of the ablest Turkish
generals.
Skobelef, the Russian general, swan
the Danube on horseback to show it could be
done, and has had five horses shot under him
during this campaign. During one of his
recOnnOissances near Pievna he came in view
of delicious spring of water, apparently
inaccessible, however, because of the hail Of
Turkish bullets that pattered round it. The
soldiers shrank back from facing almost GER
tain death, till SkobeleE dismOunted, leis-
usely walked to the fountain, drank freely Of
its waters and bathed his face and hands.
SJung by this implied taunt the soldiers
rushed forward to shield him; Skobelef or
dered them under arrest for leaving their
ranks and calmly walked back.

the available space, including the recep-
tacles Tor the cable, was filed with grain.
The Great Eastern, Of 10, 900 tons burden,

shipper: &" England is preparing for

America for her food. The Black sea Is
closed. Only the Prussian provinces on
