LINES ON THE DEATH OF MRS. THOMAS sHEARER,
Who died at Logan, Iowa, Aug. "a, aged H-writ-
ten by her friend, Mrs W. Rhodes.
Dear friend, we will not weep for thee;
Thy sufferings now are DER.
Beneath the shade of lifes fair tree
Thou dwell'st forever more.
Amongst the amaranthine bowers
With angels thou reclinest;
On feet of down fly fast the hours
Where thou in glory shinest.
What wonders hast thou seen what streams
Of pleasure hast thou tasted,
Surprising far the shadowy dreams
Of Earth, from which thou hasted
With gates of pearl and streets of gold,
That city thou hast entered,
Where Jesus doth his grace unfold,
To whom thy love was conferred.
There, where distress ne'er comes, nor pain
Where death can never sever,
Where saints with Jesus ever reign;
Dear friend, we soon shall meet again
To part no more forever

At Rest.

AT Rest.
Mary Fuller Howard was born in
Danville, Sept. %, 1886, and died at
st. Johnsbury, Oct. 8, 1873. Such is
the brief record of life which it is our
privilege to speak of more at length
Although never strong and well, her
vivaciOus and hopeful nature carried
her over all ordinary obstacles, and
until some seven years ago she was as
full of life and activity as any one in
her large circle of friends. About the
year 1871, disease in one hip of long
standing developed, which confined her
to the house, and which grew more
severe and serious until life became a
burden almost unbearable. Under the
advice of physicians, as last resort,
and with some faint prospect of surviv-
ing the operation and obtaining relief,
some five years ago she was taken to
Boston and a section of the thigh bone
entirely removed. In time she was able
to return home upon bed, and al
though the operation was partially sue
cessful, the terrible pain having been
taken away, she never stepped again,
but for these five years has kept her
bed. Within the past year returning
suffering indicated that the disease had
not been entirely removed. Although
aware of the inevitable result, her cheer
fulness never left her, but all through
these years her room has been the sun
niest spot it has ever been our lot to
see-made so by the exuberance and
joyful nature of one over whom disease
and pain and deprivation seemed to
have little power. During all these
years she had the tender and loving
care of her brother and sister, whose
home has been filed with the sunshine
of her beautiful, hopeful spirit. Her
lovely Christian character shone out
with great clearness. Her peaceful trust
enabled her to bear all that was sent
upon her not only with patience and
great fortitude, but with a cheerfulness
truly remarkable. Willing to live and
suffer if Gods will, she yet longed to
go and be at rest. And while very
many will miss her sunny face and
ringing laugh and cordial greeting, it is
with a sense of gratitude that all feel
she is now at rest, "where there shall
be no more death, neither sorrow, nor
crying, neither shall there be any more
pain: for the former things have passed
away"

Sunday School and Y. M. G. A. Con.
ventions.

The State Sunday School Aassocia-
ton met in convention at the North
church in this place, on Tuesday after
noon, State Secretary, A. M. Butler, in
the chair. After short season of sing
ing and prayer, Rev. Henry w. Jones,
pastor of the church, welcomed the
delegates in few choice words, to the
Inequalities of our homes, and was re-
sponded to briefly by a member of the
convention.
President Hubbell being absent, the
secretary called Franklin Fairbanks to
the chair, and the first topic on the
program, "Sunday School Work." was
taken up and opened by an able
written address from Rev. L. H. Elliot
of Bradford. Some points made in this
paper were, so to instruct in the Word
that all scholars may be drawn to the
Saviour ;-Indoctrinate in the Scrip
lures ALI work should be done in
Sunday School in the confident expec-
tation of the conversion of the scholars
not already converted.
The topic, Chow to bring the masses
into the Sunday School," was opened
in an extempore address by Rev. Nick
ersOn of West Derby. He thought pas
tors might help in this work by invit-
ing parents to come aoith their children.
Many mothers are kept at home with
children four, five or six years old,
when both should be in the school. The
pastor should not attempt as general
thing to run" the Sunday School, only
as he could do it through others. He
believed in delegated labor. Pastors
and superintendent should personally
inUite those whom they wish to join the
school. Teachers and scholars should
invite without reference to whether
those invited would go into their classes
or not. Mr.. Shaw of Burlington thought
personal effort would get parents to
stop after morning service NTH their
children. Mr.. Shaw's experience in re-
cruiting school was interesting and
valuable. Rev. G. S. Frost of st. Johns
bury had some very timely remarks at
this point. He thought the superin-
tendent should see to the important
matter of an efficient corps of teachers.
| He must be hearty mana man of

Mr.. David Kinsman moves his family

is much pleased with his new place,
and isn't hOmesick one bit.

a collection was proposed, and the
amount contributed was fifty dollars,
which was given to the society towards
the one thousand dollars they are try
ing to raise this year towards the re-

est reminds us that the entertainment
OF strangers often proves to be the en-
tertainment of angels unawares.

Mesmerism and Death.

Mesmerist Carpenter settled up his
case with the Frenchman Bibeau on
Thursday, and left town on the three
O'Clock train, and young Bibeau died the
next morning. A post norton discov
cred the disease to have been inflamma-
ton of the bowels, with adhesions,
showing the disease to have been of
standing. The physicians could not
say whether the effect of the mesmerism
fastened young Bibeau's death, but
most likely not. At any rate this will
not be good field for mesmerisers for
some time TO come; and if it should
have the effect to close the hall against
one-half the performances" that filch
the public of their time and money, the
community will be the gamer.

A Happy Surprise.


The visiting friends to the Free Will
Baptist Anniversaries, held at Lyndon
Center last week, were obliged on their
return to spend some three hours in
this village on Friday last. Knowing
this, it occurred to the Free Baptist
Society to provide for them a din
ner Accordingly arrangements were
made and good dinner was sue
cessfully served and eaten in the vestry
of the aforementioned Society. But to
the great surprise of the church present
after dinner, Rev. Silas Curtis, of Con-
cord, N. H., arose and said: "We have
had good dinner, now hope no one
OF this party will be mean enough to
sneak off without paying for it. 1 will
give one dollar for my dinner" "And
L, five" responded another. Upon that
