A correspondent sends a Kansas let

the following is told. Our readers will
ut once recognize the Salina merchant
as ODER:
In truth, a person who waits for

four cents is looked upon with some
thing like scorn in the West. Isyour
bill seventy-eight cents? You pay
eighty, or the obliging shopkeerer says,
"call il seventy-five."
recall an incident which one of
the merchants of Salina related when
speaking of his recent trip to New
York for goods. After making his
preparations for returning he went to
settle his bill, which proved to be
Si0.O3. He paid $40, and was turning
away when he was recalled by tap
on his shoulder, and the three cents
were pointed out
In scornful amaZement he threw
down ten cents, and again started
away.
"Here is your change, SIR" said q
voice, in no wise overwhelmed by his
contempt.
The merchant waved his hand and
bowed.
Keep it, sir. am q western man.
We don't grasp three or four cents
there so closely"

DrED-Of Dropsy of the Heart.
February. 18th, 1880. Maria p. Divil-
hiss, wife of J. A. Divilbiss, aged IS
years and months.
The funeral services were held in
the Methodist Church on Thursday,
February 18th, at 2o'cloek p. NJ. Rev.
VIM. Smith preaching frUn Luke
1912.
Her maiden name was Gardiner
daughter Of Joseph H. and NJ. P. Gar
diner. She was born in Penn Van,
Yates county, New York, August 18th,
1884, and moved with her parents to
Fulton county. Illinois, in 1887. She
was married to her now bereaved hus-
band October 18th, 1853; afterwards
lived in McDonough county, Illinois.
In 1871 she moved to Kansas, and
about three years ago to Salina, where
she died. During her last illness she
suffered greatly, yet she bore her suf-
fering with christian fortituje, and
left the evidence that she was not dis
appointed, but the religion that had
supported her in life gave comfort in
death. She was calm when talking Of
death, and selected the text anu
hymns TO be used at her funeral servi-
ces. First hymn, No. 53l lin Revival
istj-"One by one we cross the River -
Second hynn--"On Jordan's stormy
banks I stand"
She was awakened and converted
and joined the Methodist church at
a meeting held by Rev. $. A. Brink.
in February, 1866. As soon ~ she
identified herself with the church she
became one of its most active men,
bers. In health, she was cheerful, ex-
cellent company; in sickness. she was
kind and sympathizing. The weary
itinerant was welcome guest at her
home. The church has los; one OF its
most useful members, friends kind
neighbor. husband good wife, and
children kind and loving mother.
But their loss is her eternal gain.
Blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord; they rest from their labor and
their works do follow them.
