Death of Sister Agnes Weaver in vieksoarg

Sister Agnes Weaver, Sister of Charity from
ST. Joseph's, Emmittsburg, died in Vicks burg,
at the Convent of Mercy, on the 9th of Sep
tember, of yellow fever. She was a native of
Washington, where she was born on the 29th
of jane 1894 The early years of her life were
epent in Virginia and in 1857 she was convert.
ed to the True Faith and joined the Sisters of
Charity.
When Sister Agnes beard of the fearful epi-
demic now ravsgiDg the South she offered her
self as nurse to the poor sufferers. Her ser
vices were accepted and she left Detroit at
once for Vfcksb1rg IN couPany-~itA another
Sister. Those who have nlrsed fever patients
can appreciate the labors to which Sister
Agnes devoted herself, heart and soul, during
the few days tast intervened between her
arrival in Vicksburg and the day OF her death.
After SIX days of the most excrucisting uffsr
ings she gave up her soul into the honds of
her Divine Spouse whom she had endeavored
to serve faithfully daring life. Sitter Agnes
had always desired and pray yed for the COVER
sion of some of her nearest and deares. rela-
tives and friends and for that had off red up
her own life; as her Heavenly Father ac-
cepted her sacrifice we hope she may obtaiu
what she 50 ardently desired.
May she rest in peace.

From late number of the Memphis appeal,
we notice that the greatest number of deaths
for one day this year in Memphis was 1877,
the greatest number for any one day in 1873
being 90. The number of deaths up to the
goth ult. was 2643 The total number of
deaths during the epidemic of 1873 was 2O2,
which shows that more than double the
number have died during the present epidem-
ic than died in 1873. In 1873 the first fatal
case was on the 14th of September, and the
fever continued until the 9th of November.
the largest number of fatal cases being on the
10th of October. The fever this year began
early in August, and if it continues as long as
in 1873, will doubtless carry eff more than o
Thousand more people. The only hope lies in
an early frost.

When the massacre of Mshemet Ali Pasha
Was announced many continental papers, in
cluding the Independence Beige and GaIlois,
wrote up his obituary, including therein all the
the Grand Vizier, who died in 1SG5. This has
induced gossiping writer to recall the fact
that in Louis Philippe's time eight Cabinet
ministers oonfounded Ancons with Civita Vee-
appiauded, Ledru-Rollin called the Adristio
sea the Baltic five times; that the Journal o.
oIaf has placed Lisbon on the Mediterranean,
SHOWN that the 1ncas reiRned in Mexico at the
time of the invasion of Cortez. and that three
Cessets Of the line escorted the bearer OF the

heroes have stood forth, not only from The
old army rolls, but from behind the counte
of the drug store, from the wagon of the
expressman, from the Office of the lawyer
from the desk of the telegraph operator
Death was coming, but they stood forth
Death is called the King of Terrors, but
these men looked him steadfastly in the
face. 1t is true that God has made men
superior to all creatures except angelo
bat how many men maintain the dignity
of their creation These of whom we
write were real men-such as God made
them. Where they were put, there they
stood. There they fell. And they could
all be slive and well to-day.
Again; there were many whom duty
did not constrain but whom tender COM
passion called. Men and women from the
North and West whose hearts were moved
by the tales of mieery, of fever parched
lips without a drop of water and death
struggles without a witness. They fought
the hopeless fight and over their remains a
noble monument might be erected with
the appropriate inscription "Unavailing
Herosm."
But no. There is no such thing as una
vailng heroism. Heroism always does its
work. 1t thrills, it leads, it redeems the
world. 1t touches the sublimest chord in
mans heart and lifts him into the grand
er regions of human nature. These men
and women died-they who belonged here
and they who did not-but society had
looked upon them. The panic c-stricken
spread faster than the baleful breath of
pestilence, and the CAIN of fixed resolution
settled upon the people. Death struck
right and left, but he struck neither cow.
ards nor slaves.
Who will ever know, VINO can ever pic
ture, the thousand battles fought in the
silent recesses of human hearts during these
fearful days3 On the one hand duty and
death, on the other flight and safety. No
banners flying, no drums beating, no ring
ing cheers of gallant comrades to arouse
the failing courage-a battle of silence, of
gloom, of solitude. The poet, the historian,
may never record these great deeds but
God has seen them all-all.
Charity, we know, covers multitude of
Gins, and what greater love can a man
have for another than that he give his life |
for him Many CT these acts of heroism !
were done by persons who were externally |
aliens to the true faith. But-the true faith,
in mystic manner, embraces all who are
in good faith. In fact, there can be no
true charity without faith. The man who
will give up his life because he believes it
to be Gods will, is surely ready to believe
every thing that God shall teach him He
has an implicit faith, o faith which believes
that of which it has not yet even heard.
OF this we mag be sure, that the real
heroes who haze fallen in this battle shall
live forever. They who died because God
called them to post of death can not lose
by their obedience.
