The Cary Sisters Old Home.

The old, but picturesque farmhouse at
Clover Nook, the homestead of the gifted
Cary sisters some eight miles north of Gin
cnnati was consecraied Saturday to their
memory by large delegation Of the Society
of Friends and others of the admirers Of these
two distinguished writers. The home and
grounds had been purchased by Mr.. Alex
ander Swift who thus intends to preserve
the place sacred as the spot that inspired the
sweet voiced sisters. Mr.. Swift was induced
to address the assemblage. and went on to tell
how 43 years ago he made his first visit to the
Cary homestead. where he found father
four daughters and two sons how III years
ago he stood up with the oldest girl, Susan,
in the best room, and was married to her by
the Rev. George Rodgers, divine Of the
Universalist denomination. and how, many
years after, he welded the youngest girl,
Elminn, who is also numbered with the dead.
He read "Our Homestead" and stopped be-
tween lines to point out the ''apple boughs
that almost cast their fruit upon the roof"
The cherry tree whose limbs creaked against
the pane, the deep old we'll, the sweetbrier
bush and grand old well-sweep and damask
rose beside the gate were gone, but their
places were known, and they were called up
before the listeners. The early struggles of
the sisters their going to New York; their
| success there. and their graves in Green Wood
Cemetery, where they lie side by side, were
| told Of in tones that touched the hearers to
| tears. and almost overcame the speaker.
Pbebcs hymn, Nearer Home" which was
| written by her when Mr.. Swift was in New
York, and was inspired by a sermon deliver
ed by DIR. Cheever, was recited by Mr.. Swift,
and afterward sung by Ms niece, Miss Carrie
| Brintnall. Mr.. John B. Peas'ee. Judge Car
| ter, Prof. Venable, Benjamin Hopkins, and
| others made appropriate remarks and read
extracts from the poems of the sisters. Mrs.
| Mary Woods and William Lippincott also
read selections, and Miss Annie Marsh, Mrs.
Mary Hartman of Hollidaysburg, Penn, and
Nr. Luther Parker sang some of the sweetest
songs of the sisters, to which they added
other selections. .'iIome, Sweet Home,"
was rendered by the whole assembly, and
| was the signal thst all must start in time 70
reach the homeward- bound train.

Fire" There is no disease which com
pletely disforms and disfigures the visage Of

a red mask thrown by mocking demon over
the human face. Ii is almost as dangerous
as it is repulsive. Arising from a variety of
causes, running its course with paint often
ends suddenly in death, The old treatment
consisted of blood-letting and the use OF
strong drastic purgatives. The substance OF
the enlightened modern treatment is all con-
tanned in DIR. Kennedy's ''Favorite Remedy"
Use this, and you have taken the essential
total of all the best physicians in the land
could prescribe for Erysipelas. A case in
