now lying at her sons residence in Min

apoplexy. She is quite we'll known to

to her that many sympathizing friends
are filled with sorrow and anxiety in re-
gard to her condition. She has been
"only waiting" the call of the Master,
and to her the waking up in the better
land will only be blissful waking into the
new life which she has patiently longed
for these many years. Her life has been
beautiful all the way for over
eighty years, old age creeping
on so gently, so gracefully. that
the added years have only brought great
er charms, and now when the end, which
must be so near, shall come, she will
Only renew the sweet childhood of her
soul in that land that lies beyond the
clouds and storms, that land beyond the
mystery.

printer. Added to his fine qualifications
as a printer, he possesses, in an eminent
degree, those sterling moral qualities OF

and true to his employers. We say this
much about an honest workman--a credit
to the printing fraternity-because his

him and know his worth, and therefore
