No extended notice of the death of these
worthy disciples of Jesus has vet appeared in
print. This has doubtless been accustomed in
part at least, fro what was believed to be their
wish, VIZ: that no euloglsing obituary should
be pronounced over their graves. Assured of
their heavenly glory. they could afford to Weld
to others whose only hope is in this life, the
praise OF men. Yet the writer of this feels that
1t Will be gratifying to numerous friends and
acquaintance, who knew their worth and an
preclated the excellence of their Christian lives
to have this humble tribute at least laid upon
their graves.
We believe that no two persons ever lived
more unitedly than they, during life of more
than three score years, and in their death it
seemed that 1T was merciful arrangement of
providence that tho so long happily and useful
ly united in life, should not be long separated in
death. Only few days separated them, who
had so long walked life's pilgrimage together.

Wiz. Harriet G. Thoma..

Editors PhgRi1 1t was with sad sur
prise that we read in your issue of the Sth
inst. the announcement of the death of Miss
Harriet G. Thomas at the City Hotel in
Keene, n. H., on Wednesday morning, April
9th. Miss Thomas has long been widely and
favorably known as superior school teacher
Having formerly spent a few years at Gut
tingsville, the place of residence prior to her
coming to Brattleboro, and having the over
sight of the schools in which she was con-
stantly employed as a teacher, we had ia
vorable opportunity for becoming acquainted
with her methods Of instruction and her apt
ness and ability for teaching, where she sus-
tanned the finest, well-eaned and established
reputation as faithful, well qualified and ex-
cellent teacher. And the fact that she after
ward taught 46 consecutive terms of school
in Brattleboro, with its excellent educational
arrangements, and from that position was
then compelled to retire by failing health, is
the highest commentator that could well be
conferred upon any educator The atmos-
phere of the school.room seemed to be the
element in which she delighted to live and
move. Her native love and tact for teach
ing, with long experience in her chosen life
work, eminently qualified her for the import
ant labor in which she was so long and sue
cessfully engaged. II seemed TO be the
height of her ambition TO successfully prose-
cute the work in which she was engaged to
advance 10 the extent of her ability the inter
ests of education, and TO this end she devoted
her life energies. She was a model teach
err for aptness of illustration, clearness of
exposition, facility for communicating and
persistency in fixing facts and principles in
the pupils mind she was seldom equalled,
and never seemed satisfied until she was con-
ident the young, plastic intellect had re-
ceved the right impress with scientific
knowledge intoxicating correct moral senti-
ment, and adding thereto the force of pure
example.
These few remarks are voluntary but
imperfect tribute of respect to the life, labors
and memory of one who devoted her ener-
gies to training and moulding the young
mind and giving it an indelible impress for
after years, aud who sacrificed her life upon
the altar of education, but whose memory
will long be cherished by kindred, friends,
lovers of education and her numerous and
grateful pupils. Her influence will long live
and be felt in the communities where her life
work was done, and extend, though unseen,
indefinitely down the course of time.
.Delightful task to rear the tender thought,
To teach the young idea how 10 shoot,
10 pour the fresh instruction DER the mind,
To breathe TIL enlivening spirit and to hx
The generous purpose in the glowing heart"
