| To the Editor of the Standard:
Very few of US are satisfied with our
selves as God made US, but think that it
we had been consulted, we could have
suggested various Improvements. Such
was the case with a lady of this city. She
was forty-nine years of age, and the head
of young ladies school on Michigan
avenue She weighed ovNr 200 lbs. and
pined to be sylph-like. She saw the
Anti Fat advertisement that is to be
seen in all the papers, represented by
two cuts, one shockingly robust, the 9th
er comfortably plump, and entitled BE
fore and After" She bought some and
took it as directed the result was not
satisfactory, then she doubled, and final
ly tripled the dose, taking a glass two
thirds full three times day. This pro
duced kind of stupor ultimately result
ing in her death. If any of your fair
readers are inclined to try this remedy,
let them beware of the size Of the dose,
and be CAREFUL not to take too much,
Fowler's solution, and other prepara-
tions Of arsenic is another means of
changing the human form divine" This
is for thin ladies who wish to look
plump 1t fills out thin faces, makes the
complexion smooth and white, and is a
very pretty way to commit slow suicide.
A young lady who had been using it sat
near me in a street-car short time ago.
She was pretty girl of the brunette
type; that is, she had black hair and
eyes, but her face was waxen white. Ma
ture never made any living being look
that way To render her appearance still
more startling, she had drawn dark lines
with crayon just under her lower lashes.
She was arrayed in silk, velvet and jew
els wore twelve button kid gloves, and
had the appearance of being perfectly
satisfied with herself but she looked like
a beautiful corpse. That young girl must
ere long pay dear price for her pearl
white, satin smooth complexion.
Bleached hair is also quite popular, but
I do not know that any of the means
used to produce it are injurious to the
health Some of it is beautiful golden
tint, and looks natural until one gets
close to it, and sees Nature mockingly
asserting herself by showing the dark
roots. But very often it is struggle be-
tween several colors, brown, red, and
faxen, which might do for grained wood
work, but is rather out of place on the
human head
And now will not some enterprising
man invent color that will adhere to
the iris of the eyer

Dead /!

"While the child was alive, l fastec
and wept: for l said, Who can tel
whether God will be gracious to me, thai
the child may live?
But now he is dead, wherefore should
l fast? can l bring him back again
shall 60 him, but he shall not return to
me'"-[2d Samuel, 12-22-23.
Our dear "Oonie" is dead. She was
our youngest that was living, and she was
the pet of the family. When child she
gave herself the pet name OF "Oonle,
and she was known by that name while
she lived Her life was happy one.
Our home was always an exceedingly
pleasant one, and she contributed her
full share in making home happy She
only knew life on its brightest side Like
her mother, she was always cheerful,
hopeful and happy, and so patient in af-
Fiction. Blessed with a most kind and
affectionate husband, loving relatives
and having all the comforts OF life, it
would indeed be strange if she did not
desire to live; but she was ever calm,
and resigned to her fate. She had not
the least fear as to the future.
Oh how we all tried to save her Drs.
Crumit and Williams went far beyond
what professional duty required of them,
and by their unweared attention sue
ceeded in beating back the awful disease,
and kept her with US for weeks, until
her young life wore out, and when the
final hour came, surrounded by her two
loving sisters, and by her who, for nearly
twenty years, had been almost more than
a mother to her, with midnight in her
eye, but morn upon her face, with
heavenly smile upon her countenance,
and apparently without a pang, she
quietly passed over.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. j. K Gibson, assisted by Rev. c.
F. Creighton, at the residence of her hus
band, on Pearl street, at o'clock on
Sabbath afternoon A very large con-
course of the kind people of Jackson at

In an article last week we stated that
some of Mr.. Hale's goods had been found
concealed in his stable. This was calcu
lated to do Mr.. Hale injustice. We new
er had any difficulty with Mr.. Hale, and
certainly had no desire to do him Unjust
ice. and will now say that our informant
was mistaken as to the place. 1t was in
Esq. Scott's stable, in town, where the
goods were found.
Instead of coming to US. like gentle
man, and giving US the facts, Mr.. Hale
went around like a sneaking coward,
threatening to assassinate US. He may
live to be ashamed of such conduct Esq.
Scott. like an honest man, came and told
us what he claimed to be the facts. He
said his son William, young man not
twenty y-one years of age, had been en-
pIoyed by Mr.. Hale for two or three
years; he had been economical, and saved
his wages, and Mr. Hale owed him con-
siderable amount When Mr.. Hale be-
came satisfied that he would be compell-
ed to make an assignment, he paid Mr..
Scott in goods, and he put the heavier
took the more costly goods to his fathers
house. in the country. Esq. Scott says
there was no concealment, either at the
stable or at the house, and that the
stable had been, and still is, used by
other parties for the storage of goods.

OBITUARY.

Melvina Powell Mackley was born IL, Oak
Hill, Ohio July Is, 1854.
When quite young her parents moved to
Jackson. where she spent the remainder of her
life. She was the object of tender care and So
licitude to her parents and older brothers and
sisters. She enjoyed good secular and religious
instruction, and was prepared for usefuln ess IN
the world.
Her disposition was kind and winning, and
she enjoyed the confidence and esteem of
many friends.
Her health at no time vigorous, began a de-
cline about four years ago, from the effects of a
severe cold. February u, 1878, she was united
in marriage to Mr.. P H. Washam, but she was
destined to a brief welded life. Disease ad-
vanced and while she held out against it hope
fully and courageously, death overlook her
Saturday morning, August H. 1878.
She united with the NJ. E. Church of Jackson
when she was fourteen years of age. 1t was my
privilege to visit her repeatedly during her last
sickness and converse upon the subject of re-
ligion. She received the instructions and
promises of Gods word with ready mind. AS
we read some of the passages which described
the experiences of the renewed heart, she said
that she could adopt them as her own. She
said she trusting in Christ. and desired
that His will should be done. After long and
patient suffering, she passed peacefully to
other world, and has left many friends to
mourn her early death. j. K. GIBSON.
