Everett Kelley is dead. At half
past five this morning, as the gray
mists of dawn were turning to bright
tints of day, poor Everett passed from
this world to the dread hereafter.
Through long months of bitter suffer
ing and without the presents Of kind
mother or sister to sooth his feverish
brow or administer to his wants as
only mother could, he bravely fought
against his fate until the angels called
him from his suffering to happier
home above. Cut down in the prime
of manhood and joys of life, and when
the future looked so bright and beau
tiful, it seems very hard indeed. He
leaves many friends to mourn his loss,
who will long remember with kind
thought, the obedient, kind and low.
ing boy, who is no more.
An Oriental Traveller describes
this busy scene, witnessed on historic
shores: t+Our steamer landed on
beach which was the port of Antioch,
where the disciples were first called
christians. There was no town at
the waters edge, no people, no wharf.
The passengers and the merchandise
were put ashore in lighters, which
run up in the sands. A troop of
camels, with their drivers, lay on the
beach, ready to transfer the goods in
to the interior. Among the articles
Tabled were boxes marked DR.. J. C.
Aver & Co., Lowell Mass, u. S. A.,
showing that they contained medi-
cines and whence they came. These
with other goods were hoisted on the
backs of camels, for transportation to
Antioch. Thus the skill of the west
sends back it's remedies to heal the
malidies of populations that inhabit
these eastern shores, whence our spir-
itual mama came. ''-Windsor, IT.,
