DIED.

! BAEE.-Died at Somerset, Pa, on Mon
day morning, the 9TH LAY of September.
IssI, Mrs Lucy 5. Baer, wife OF Herman L.
Baer, in her iiftieth year.
Mrs. Baer was born in Norristown, Penn
sylvania, and was a daughter of General
Wm. Schall, and has resided in our noun
tain village about twenty-six years.
The sudden death Of this amiable lady
was entirely unexpected and produced an
exhibition of heartfelt grief in our commu-
nifty. outside OF her kindred, among those
who knew her that was unexampled.
Her warm heart, aIniable department and
genial manner had won FOR her the respect
and esteem of the entire circle of her ac-
quainfance, which manifested itself by the
large number who honored her remains and
paid them the last tribute of love and re-
spect, when we deposited them in her mar
row home 10 rest forever in the bosom of
her re,lcemer, in whose service she spent her
entire life She became member Of the
Reformed church in early life, and from
then until she was called home she never
faltered moment in her christian depor.
nent or duty.
Calm on the bosom Of thy God
Young spirit rest thee now
Even while with MS thy footsteps trod
His seal was on thy brow.
Dust, to its narrow house beneath,
Soul. to its place on high,
They that have seen thy look in death.
No man may fear 10 die.
Lone are the paths and sad the bowers,
Whence thy meek smile is gone
But O. a brighter home than ours
In Heaven is now thine own"
--Henans. X.
ZIMMERMAN.-At McKeesport, Pa, en-
August 22d, 1881. buried at Stoystown, Pa,
on Agust oath, 1881. John William thinner
man, son of Jacob Zimmerman, Jr., aged %
years, II months, 13 days.
In the midst of life we are in death was
truly verified in the case of this young man
whose sudden death by accident has been
dnly noticed in the papers of the county.
He was highly esteemed in the communi-
ty in whish he lived, being of generous,
noble disposition. A few weeks previous to
his death he saved a man from being crush
ed beneath the cars at the risk Of his own
life lie was in the act of going to the res
cue Of fellow-workman, who was in i'm
miAent danger, when he himself was struck
down and crushed beneath an engine. His
heroic act and the sad result win no; soon
be forgotten.
Baptized in infancy, at the proper age he
did not hesitate to assume for himself the
vows then made in his name by his parents,
and thus was admitted into full communion
with the Reformed church, at stoystown,
by the solemn rite of confirmation, in
which relation he was faithful unto

DRIFTING.

We are drifting-ldly drifting

Through the sunlight, through the Shsdo
Changing, suilttag, rocking, drifting,

And the DARKER shsdOws lifting,

We are drifting sadly drifting
When the storm is past
Bu our hears are all Il qulVer,
For The wihd and waves together,
Cherished hopes enguliad forever,
And our little boat is lighter,
And our mold on lie Is slighter;
IN the shadow, WISER sadder,
Drift we where the orm is O'er.
We are drifting--snrely drifting
on this sea- OF life
And we need Il careful steering,
Smiles OF love, snd words of cheering,
Til the mlsts and rs are clearing,
Aud the sands Of life, in shifting,
Show beyond the shadows Lifting
Close beside us-li hts to guide us
on this sea 10 endless lie.
