Editors are supposed to be fortunate people.
| They get specimen of the early potato, apple,
&C., and passes on the railroads. Mr.. Bundy
| tells good story about boy who was asked
| what business he would like to follow when he
| became man. He said he would like to be a
stage driver, sitting away up on the seat, with
| the lines in one hand, and the whip in the 9TH
er. If he could not be stage driver he would
like to be an editor, as editors always got tick
cts to go to the circus, and they did not have to
tell the truth anyhow.
But there are drawbacks in all professions.
| One evening recently Mrs. Sutherland brought
| to our residence one of the richest bouquets
have seen this year, and presented it to Mrs. M.
We told her we thought she might have given
it to us. She said gentlemen did not appreciate
flowers ladies did. We replied that that
might be true generally, but we claimed to be
more refined than gentlemen in general and
so appreciated the beauty of flowers. She then
said she did not like to give editors anything
as they were always putting it in their papers,
So we had to promise her not to put it in the
paper, before she would give us the bouquet,
and that is why we do not mention it.

BLAKE.-ln Salt Lake City, U. T., William
Tenant Blake, son of John Blake, deceased, of
Wyanet, Illinois, was born in Greenbrier coun-
ty, West Va, Feb. Is, 1878. He had been in the
mining business, near Salt Lake, for the last
eight years. His physician writes us that on
the sixth of April, 1879, he was stricken down,
and suffered until the 18th, when he passed
from earth, we trust and believe, to the man
sions above, for the last words were that he
knew where he was going, and that his suffer-
ings would soon be over; and knowing him to
be always gentle, kind and true, in every sense
of the word, also a firm believer in the Bible
truths, we hope to meet "beyond the river,'
where parting is no more.
'There is no death in heaven,
For they who gain that shore,
Have won their Immortality
And they can die no more"
N. BLAKE.
LACKEY-Mrs. Nancy Lackey, wife of Adam
Lackey, died of cancer at her home in Bloom
field township, Jackson county, Ohio, July Is,
1879, aged 81 years and days,
When about fifteen years old she Joined the
NJ. E. Church, of which she remained a devout
member till her death.
She was woman of an even and patient
spirit. She suffered long and severely, but en-
dured her suffering with marked Christian
submission. She said to me: "I do not under
stand why have to suffer much, but know
it is all right. Her funeral was preached in the
grove at Union School House, from Heb tx. 27.
She sleeps in Jesus. w. H. GIBBONS.
