In menorIan.

On Saturday morning, December p, 1880,
WILLIE B. SMITH died at the residence of
his mother, in Old Hadensville, in the oath
year of his age. He had suffered long and
patiently with disease which vas beyond
the power OF medical skill, and during many
weeks the unceasing care of i devoted
mother and an afTectionate sister, and the
sympathy and assistance of many friends
have been given to his relief, but all efforts
have proved in vain.
"After hfe's itful fae=yer, he sleeps WE'LL
He rests at last, free from all pain, and the
tears of kindred and friends are the tributes
we pay to his memory. So Young, so bouy=
ant, so hopeful; TO die just as the prospects
of life were looking brightest-for he was
treading young manhood's path of pride
nobIy when he fell. While we mingle our
tears in gentlest sympathy with the be-
reaved mother and sister, we feel that their
grief is too sacred for words. In all the
coming years they viii ''sigh for the touch
of a vanished hand, and the sound ola voice
that is STILL" The dutiful son, the kind
brother, the warIa-hearted friend is gone
from our midst, and our hearts are bowed
down with sorrow.
ssThere's something in the sparting hour
Which chills the warmest heart,
Yet kindred, friends and loved ones
Are fated all to part;
But this I've Seen-and many pang
Has pressed ii on my mind
The one who goes is happier
Than those he leaves behind.
God wills it so, and so ii is
The pilgrims on their way,
Though weak and worn, have lighter hearts
Than all the rest who stay;
And when, at last, our dearest ones
/ Lie down to death, resigned
! We feel that they are happier far
! Than those they leave behind'"
! A FRIEND.

''Not lost, but gone before. F"
Departed this life at the residence of his
brother, Thos. H. Lyman, in the city of
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, on the LIST day of Janu-
airy, 1881, EDWARD j. HYMAN, in the And
year of his age.
The subject of this notice was the son of
Mr.. Samuel and Mrs. H. p. Hyman. He was
born in the city of Louisville, KY, May End,
1899, and was happily married to Miss
Eudora McCauley, October 9th, 1869. He
professed religion and Joined the Cumber-
andsPresbyterian Church several years ago,
and was a true member to the day of his
death. AS a christian, he possessed in large
measure the three cardinal graces of the
christian religion-Faith, Hope and Char
ity. His intelligent views of the external
evidences of christianity and the ever-abid-
ing evidence in the soul caused his faith to
be steadfast and immovanle. His feet were
fixed upon the eternal rock. His was a
strong, yea, a sublime faith. Living in the
sunshine of GODS love, he spoke of Jesus in
all his works, and leaned upon the strong
arm of God for support, and endured his
long and painful illness with patient reisg-
nation, and when the hour of death drew
near he was ready. Heaven with its bliss
its rest, its joys, and its endless pleasures
broke in upon his vision, and to those
standing by his dying couch, he would
speak of his implicit confidence in the ALI
mighty goodness of God-revealed in the
person of Jesus Christ as his personal
Savior. And with this strong and abiding
faith in Gods promises and love, he would
say to his devoted companion, who had
nursed him, cared for him through his long
illness with a devotion that claims our
highest admiration: "Wife l will be stand
ing at the beautiful gate, waiting and
watching for yOu," and with his hand
pointing heavenward, he waved final fare
well to earth, saying, 'wife, Pm going now"
his glorifed spirit took its flight and as
cended radient with the beams Immortality
to the bosoW of its God.
calm ON the bosom of thy God,
Sweet spirit rest thee now,
Even while here, thy footsteps trod,
His seal was ON thy brow. W
To the gief-str ickep ones we would say,
"Weep not for him." AS we drop tears of
sympathy oyer the new-made grave in this
''land very dreary," the eye of faith pic
lures him with that throng in the "raptures
of rest" who have "washed their robes and
made them white in the blood of the lamb
sweep not for me, my kindred dearl
! am not dead, but sleeping here
I'm no longer yours, but Christ's alone,
He loved me best and took me home.
I'm gone before, with lifted finger
Pointing to the eternal throne,
At the threshold, 10! linger
Looking back for you to come"
Farewell dear brother, farewell for
awhile
"Yet agatr we hope 20 meet thee,
When day of life is fed;
Yet again we hope to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is she'd" NJ.

A TENENfr;N house has been con-
sumed by fire in New York with
terrible results. On the Sd inst. the
fire took place, caused by the opera
ton of thawing out the gas-pipes.
The staircase was in blaze from

the two youngest out of a three

out himself. They were caught

For the CHRoNIoLE.

This morning the sun rose iI
golden splendor, shedding his glory
over the world, as if to leave pleas
ant recollections of the last day in
the year. And now it's night,
solemn night, the broad eye of day
has closed, and all its joyous sights
and sounds have departed; majes-
tic gloom broods over All things;
night has wrapped in her oblivious
mantle, the golden glories Of days
bright ruler, and naught breaks the
fearful contrast, save the twinkling
of some far-off star, whose feeble
rays remind Us that light has been.
Night is the time for music's soft
STRAIN: its notes breaking on the
stiffness which reigns around, seem
like the voices of far-off angels, and
every pulsation of the heart is in
union with the songs. The mind
too, is then better suited to the re-
ception of holy impressions, and
oft at such seasons we seem borne
away from earth, and stand with
the heavenly harpers near the
eternal throne.
Night is the season for examina-
ton: the acts of the day then pre-
sent themselves before the mind for
judgment; conscience stamps its APP
prevail or condemnation on every
action, and by its impartial voice
we are taught to improve the future
by the follies and errors of the past.
In reviewing the past year, many
hearts will throb with anguish. 1t
opened to them with prospects
bright and fair, which now lie like
withered flowers scattered on the
shores of time. Who has not been
bereaved during the past year of
some dear friend? A shade steals |
over us while we remember their
bright virtues. Some fond mother
is, perhaps, this moment, bewailing
the loss of her first born, who was
snatehed from her bosom ere the
circle of enc short year had flown
over its sunny head. The tear still
fingers on her cheek as she takes up
its little toys, the gifts of affection.
and places them in some sacred
drawer from her sight. 1t is night,
that hushed hour when old and long
memories come thronging
around us, friends that cheered our
hearts in other days return to bless
Us
AT such an hour, how pleasant to survey,
On mem'ry's page, the fiowery paths of
To cast one lingering look away, away,
To purer lands of innocence and truth"
The past, the present, the future.
each claims a share in our thoughts;
he past, sunlight and shadow; the
present, with its hopes and fears;
glorious future, in that land where
here is no more sorrow, no broken
no midnight gloom; and
here the departed friends of our
EARLIEST dreams wait with golden :
larps to bid us welcome. Oh! no,
here are no shadows of darkness
here. May these reflections tend to
emiud us of our former negligence
nd make us more faithful in future.
Then when we are done with the
Gene of life our blessed Savior will
'ear US to that CLINE where years
never end.
Ever and ever the world goes round,
Bearing its burdens and crosses;
,ver and ever the years roll on,
With their tide of sorrow and losses"

The present paper viii terminate
mycounection with the CHRONICLE.
Business considerations which il is
not for me to speak of render it inn
possible for me to occupy any longer
the editorial chair, and l have now
only to write a few farewell words
and retire. In doing so / shall be
pardored, trust, if / take retro
spective glance at the period, nearly
four years, during which / have ed
tied this paper.
The work which has been assigned
me by the course of public events
has been that of advocating the
cause of the democratic party in
two presidential elections, and of
vindicating the credit Of the state
by urging the liquidation of its
bonded debt. If the results aimed
at have failed of realization, | hope
for the acknowledgment of those
who had the same objects at heart
that, so far as my ability made pos
sible, have not spared myself, but
have labOred conscientiously for the
object in view so long as it was
possible one. IfIhave occasionally
diverged from the path of politics to
treat of questions of social, literary
or aesthetic interest, trust that / /
shall not be considered to have neg
lected the objects which were pri-
marty entrusted to me, or to have
entirely wasted the time devoted to
topics of that nature.
! would say very few words to
these whose political views have
been opposed to mine. am quite
aware that the advocacy of my
own views has been uncom-
promising: What l have deemed
right have stated in the
plainest terms, and what | have
wrong have denounced
as such without reserve. will only
ask antagonists to accredit me with
motives in doing so,
as | have myself always done in
their case.
To the few who have been in the
habit of reading my articles with
and discussing with me
the subjects treated of,
bid farewell with regret. My in
with them has been the
happiest circumstance of my edito-
rial duties.
Finally, it is both pleasure and
a duty to acknowledge a debt of
gratitude TO my employers, the
publishers of this paper. Both from
the firms of Neblett & Grant and
Neblett & Titus l have uniformly
the strictest integrity
in business matters and the heart
lest cooperation in the course l
deemed the most conducive to the
interests of the paper and the adj :
vancement of the cause to which it
IS devoted. ! leave them with the :
Tervent wish for their future pros
Derity, and commend them to the
favorable consideration of my
friends as men well deserving the {
pest that can be done for them.
