Death Of Dr and Mrs Boyd.

morning last to learn of the death of
DIR James Green Boyd. He was the
oldest physician in the county, and one
of the ablest. He had been the post
master at this place for many years,
and was also a prominent Odd Fellow.
He moved from Virginia to the neigh
borhood of old Shady Grove near Mi
Ian at an early age and grew to mans
hood, lived and died in the midst of
the people of his adoption. A man OF
stalwart frame and strong constitu-
tion, he devoted himself with ar.
dor and enthusiasm to his extended
and laborious practice, until succumb-
ing about four years ago he was strick-
Ell with paralysis, since which time he
has been much enfeebled. During
the past summer he has suffered much
from malarial influences, and when
last week he was seized with bilious
fever he fell an easy victim to a dis
ease which, under other circumstan-
ces would not probably have proved
fatal. Perhaps no man, in person.
al capacity, ever enjoyed to a higher
degree the confidence and love of his
neighbors and acquaintance than did
DIR Boyd. He was the friend of eve-
ry one, the poor were his flock, the
needy never left his door unfed, the
afflicted found comforter, and, to
friend and stranger his practice, his
time, and his medicines were almost
gratuitous. He was liberal to fault.
Careless of his own pecuniary interests,
he lived the life Of the..poor in his old
age. His life was devoted to the heal
ing ofthe sich. To our people, knows
ing him as they did, his memory is
something to be loved, honorcd and
cherished. If purity of daily life, if
IostentatiOus charities, if lDve for his
fe lows shall count for ought in tha.
| f. beyond to which he has gone,
his future is not void of that reward
promised by Him who has said, 1.-THE
greatest of these is charity" Several
years ago he was con nverted and join
ed the church, since which time he has
been in the full enjoyment of the
Christian life. During his last illness
he spoke with great difficulty, but
made known to those around him that
he was thinking of the great wealth
OF happiness that was awaiting him
beyond the grave" We feel assured
that he now enjoys the full realization
Of his favorite song, Nearer Ny God
to Thee"
We have had in our midst, in the
death Of DR. and Mrs Boyd, an exams
pie of that wonderful love between
husband and wife, which binds them
together through a 10 .g and eventful
life, and which separated them not in
death. Depending upol each other
solely for love and sympathy they had
often prayed that neither should be
left to mourn the other, and beautiful
indeed was the fulfilment of their
prayer. "They were lovely and pleas
ant in their lives, and in their death
they were not divided" When sick
ness laid its heavy hand upon her hus-
band this devoted wife exerted all her
strength to nursing and caring for his
every want, until overcome by excite
ment and grief she fell helpless by his
side, lingering only few hours after
his death for the summons to join him
beyond the grave. Mrs Boyd was for
many years an invalid, but she was
widely known, and only to be loved.

Not vsstigo of chimney is found in

believe that they were known in ancient time.
They had fires, however, and with them
smoke which seems to have escaped in a some

the roof" 1t was serious Inconvenience to
them. and in order to get rid Of it they peeled
the bark from the wood, soaked II in lees of
oil, ETC., but all to no avail. Tho Oldest mem
tion made of chimneys, as present used. Is in
a Venetian Manuscript which states that some
were thrown down by an earthquake in l347
In England they must have been itroduced
later, since Hollinshed, who wrote in the six
teenth century, alIudes to them more in an
ger, as among the growing Injuries and cor

brazier with fire on it was carried wherever
fire was wanted, and the smoke escaped in
the best way it could. Fireplaces and stoves
were unknown.

A SAD MISTAKE WITH CHILDREN The
grand blunder which almost all parents and
nursemaids commit is that when tho child
takes aswhim against doing what it is wanted
to do-will not eat his bread and butter, will
not go out, will not come to his lessons etc.
they, SO to speak, lay hold of his hind ley,
and drag him to his duties, whereas a person
of tact will almost always attract the child's
attention from its own obstinacy, and in a
few minutes lead it gently around to submits
sion. Many persons would think it wrong not
to break down the child's self will by main
force to come to battle with him and show
him that he is the weaker vessel; but my
conviction is that struggles only tend to
make his self will more robust. If you can
skillfully contrive to delay the dispute for a
few minutes and hitch his thoughts off the
excitement of the contest, ten to,one he will
give up quite cheerfully, and this Is far better
for him than tears and punishment.

GROWING OLD.---How strangely our Ideas
of growing old change as we get on in life. :
TO the girl in her teens, the ripper maiden of
twenty-five seems quite aged. twenty-five
thinks thirty five ian old thing" Thirty
Eve breads forty, but congratulates. herself
that there may still remain some ground to be
possessed in the fifteen years before the half
century is attained, But fifty docs not by
any means give up the battle Of life. 1t feels
middle aged and vigorous, and thinks old age
a long way in the future. Sixty remembers
those who'll done great things at three
score and one doubts If Parr, when be was
married at one hundred and twenty, had at
all begun to feel himself an old man. II is
the desire of life within Us which makes us
feel young SO long.

The life principle, or the central man, is sliak-

persons who indulge therein. The bloo,t
moves more rapidly, and conveys > different
impression To all ths organs of the body, as i;
visits them on that particular mystic journey
when the man is laughing, from what it does
at other times. For this reason every gons.
hearty laugh in which a person indulge
tends to lengthen his life, conveying, AS it
does, new aud distinct stimulus to the Wit i
forces. Doubtless the time will come when
physicians, conceding more Importance than
they now do to influence the mind upon tho
vital forces of the body, will make their pre-

and less to drugs for the body and will in $"
