Died, May 9th 1880, in Moorefeld, w. Va.
Miss MAGGIE s. SHERRARD, daughter of r.
Sherrard, Esq; in the Goth year of her age.
The power of the gospel is seldom more beau
titully illustrated than in the life and death of
this child of the covenant At the age of fifteen
she confessed Christ Joining the church of her
fathers. Naturally endowed with great decis-
ion of character, with strong love for the true
and sincere these became marked features of her
religion The principle which governed her
was that expressed by the apostle, Lord. what
wilt thou have me to do?" She loved the church
for Christs sake; and was devoted to its ord-
nances and to its benevolent enterprises Her
heart was especially set on the cause of Foreign
Missions, and, from the age of fourteen, she was
a Jealous member of one of the missionary soci-
cites of the church
Twelve months ago her vigorous health sud
denly gave way, and she declined steadily The
trials of langor and. weakness she bore with
beautiful patience. And while the ewes of loved
ones watched with painful anxiety her constant
falling she was always bright and cheerful
Her Bible and religious books of practical, in
structlye character, were her constant compan
IONS She grew rapidly in grace, and ripened
fast for heaven. Her dying chamber was a
scene of peaceful triumph which no pen could
describe. To all present it was indeed as al the
gate of heaven" There was no conflict at all
The enemy, death, was entirely disarmed. For
InlfCy hours ne SIood knocking at the door and
claiming her life. And for thirty hours, with
all her mental powers perfectly clear, she rested
peacefully on the arm of her Saviour Instead
of needing to be comforted by others she was
their comforter. So far from needing instruc.
tlon she was their instructor. At one time
thinking, as all did, that her end was at hand
she made signs for one and then another to come
to her. and having hidden each one good bve
with some sweet word of comfort or of counsel.
she quietly folded her hands and said, Almost
home Almost over the river" One standing
by, said, And quiet, gentle passage over, you
are having, Maggie" Yes she answered
" resting on the arm And then pausing from
weakness, the friend added, ION the arm of
Jesus. But she gathered her strength and said.
" On the arm of my dear Saviour" The word
" Jesus" was too general Her heart must a,-
Propriate Him as uy Saviour" At another
time, when one asked if she suffered, she an
swered, B" Oh no. my Saviour is carrying me j.
his arms without pain" She seemed more
anxious about others than about herself, giving
signs often for one to relieve another in some
little service which she feared was fatiguing.
To the children of the Sunday School she sent
message. Tell them to be faithful, for there
my feet first learned the way to Jesus"
Beautiful closing of beautiful Christian life
She tired for Christ and He fulfilled his promise,
" will honor them that honor me-" -

SWINDLING FARMERS.

NGudaia lll.) Democrat.
Thousands Of western farmers are being
swindlcd by patent-right operators under
the law that permits all non.rcsidcnts Of a
state to bring suit in federal courts They
demand relief of congress. They allegc
that they are sued on fraudulen; claims,
and compelled either to pay them or make
an expensive defense before a distant court.
These men are not asking relief as Demo
Gratis or Republicans, but as citizens. There
is nothing Of n partisan character in their
appeal. They find the laws cruelty oppres-
sye, made and administered in the in
terest Of swinders and against the rights OF
honest men, The truth is the province OF
state court has been invaded, the sphere Of
the federal judiciary enlarged, to the mani.
fest peryorson Of justice and oppression OF
the people.

scandalous stories concerning the manner
in which the government has been swindIed
by the men having that particular job in

gence, extravaganza, the pcnsionlng of po-

things which it is deemed worth while to

WHAT FRANK LESLIE ILL. NEWSPAPER
SAYS A good piano at fair price is one
of the wants of the times, An instrument
that is durable, that is substantially made,
and has all those qualities Of tone which
make n first. class piano, can be had from
the MENpELssouN PIANO Co., 81 East Fiji
tcenth street, New York, from $40 to $500.
For over thirty-seven years their factory
has been producing pianos, and adopting
every new invention which has proved itself
to be valuable. They can be compared by
an expert with the instruments of the high
est name and fancy price, and the result is
surprisingly satisfactory. The Piano is
warranted for five years and no purchaser
has ever made complaint. From personal
knowledge and critical examination we can
recommend any one to send for catalogue
to the above mentioned manufacturers.

20 be the possesor of broad views on the
intricate subject of finance by introducing
somebody else's bill and aAixing the glory
to his name. 1t is just little bit singular
that Mr.. Forsythe, with such radical and
broad views on such labyrinthine subject
as he would fcign have the people Of this
congressional district believe by his bill,
has kept quiet during all the debates on
this subject, never leaving anything to
identify him as member Of congress be-
yond its pay roll and yea and nay vote of
the hoase. We say his prolonged silence
makes his present announcement look susp.
cioUs. Mr.. Folsythe has proved himself
to be unequal to the emergency, and it is
certainly incumbent upon the Democracy
