If ever Christianity appears in its
power, it is when it erects its tro-.
phies on the tomb; when it takes up.
its votaries where the world leaves
them and fills the breast with i'm
mortal hopes in dying moments. An
impressive and affecting illustration
OF this was given in the death Of this
esteemed Christian young lady.
In the zenith Of Young woman
hood, amid the fras raAue of summer
flowers, and when all Nature is
clothed in vernal beau Y, she sank
to rest peacefully anu quietly, with
out murmur or complaint, and her
pure spirit was waited ON angels
wings to 'faircr worlds on high.r
She was young lady of bright in
telligence and high culture. Poses
sing all the qualities Of mind and
heart which make any retain friend
ships, she was loved and esteemed
10y all who knew her, and when it
was announced she was no more, a
deep pervaaed the whole COM
munity. Yet WHO shall say her de-
parture was not the ordering of In :
finite Wisdom2 lie doeth all things
well, and afllicts not willingly.
She died in the sunlight Of life's
morning, with the shadows still be-.
hind her, and while we mourn that
the silver cord has been locsed, we
can truthfully exclaim:
AS glad dream OF slumbsr VIII ch wakens
in bliss,

and was arrested and LOGGED in Jail

charges, but presume it is the result
of threats made by the Evangelist,

THE Adams Express Office was
broken into on Wednesday night, but
the thieves got nothing for their
trouble. The new freight office Of

concerned. Perhaps they had better
call again.
