OBITU AIRY.
IN MEMORY OF MARY E. BONDS.

IN MENOhl Ot MAXI E. bONDSs
 One by one they pass away, the hghts of former days are going out; the old land marks are disappearing. Mrs. Mary k. Bonds, after short illness, died at her residence near this place on the 9th of April 1877. She was 63 years of age, and she lived good portion of her life a consistent member of the Cumber- land Presbyterian church, faithful to the calls or duty and obligation. Her home was always pleasant home to the Ministers of the gospel. She was left a widow 25 years ago, with a family of children, for whom, by her good management, she abundant ly provided, and upon whom, by her example, and instruction, she has left her impress for good.
 In performing at her grave the last tribute of respect, l saw evinced as clearly as l ever have, the conso- lations of the Christians hope. Through the tears which flowed freely, was reflected on the dark cloud of sorrow the cheering ''bow of promise. Her tranquil and happy death gave assurance of the privi- lege of meeting again. Oh! that all the aged may thus die. We arc happy that we can sing of Mother Bonds;
 Yes, Mother, thy course is run,
 Ended is the glorious strife;
 Fought thy fight, thy work is done,
 Death is swallowed up of life
 Thou art catered into joy:
 Let .ne unbelievers mourn;
 We'll in song our lives employ Til we all to God return. ROWLAND DoGGETT. Dover, Ark, April 10th, 1877.
