At F est,

| rIolh Her reSlueDce, SouCn OF lola, or
Friday evening, Sept. 2, 1881, passed
into paradise, Mrs. Mary Ann Tite
there to rest until the resurrection
moru shall complete the reward of the
earnest christian life. She lived a life
Of christian usefulness and resigna.
ton to her masters will, and passed
away Gin the confidence of q certain
faith in the comfol ts of a reasonable,
religious and holy hope; in favor with
God aud in perfect Charity with the
world" The burial service was read
at the Presbyterian Church on Satur-
day at 2 o'clock by the Rev. Charles
Hahn, and her body was given back
to mother earth in the sure hope of the
resurrection, with which the church
coDsigas the body of each faithful
child, to its last resting place.
Mary Ann Pidding was born in
Dorsetshire, England, Nov. II, 1920,
and in May, 1850, was married to
Christopher Tite, with whom she came
to this country during the following
year. They settled in Huron county,
Ohio, where they remained until the
year 1878, when they and their family
removed to Kansas. Mrs. Tite was
baptised in the church of England and
confirmed in the Protestant Episcopal
Church by the Bishop of Ohio. The
church in lola deeply feels the loss
which has come to it in the removal
of this sister from the church militant
to the church in Paradise; and the af-
f1icted family are bowed down with
grief over the absence of kind and
loving wife and mother. But heaven
is more real to them now than before,
and another link is added to bind
them to it, that in the end they, too,
may be numbered with the saints in
glory everlasting.
The following lines, which were IA
vorite ones with Mrs. Tite, fifty de-
scribe the feelings of her bereaved chill
dren:
"Oh! many lips are saying this,
Mid falling tears to-day;
And many hearts are aching sore,
Our mothers passed away.
We watched her fading year by year
AS they went slowly by,
But cast far from us e'en the fear
hat she could ever die
She seemed so good, So pure, so true,
10 Our admi-ing eyes,
We never dreamed this glorious fruit
Was ripening for the skies.
And when at last the death stroke came
So swift, SO sure, so true,
The hearts that held her here SO fast
Were almost broken too.
How sad the heart mid daily tasks
Wemiss our mothers prayers.
We near shall know from what dark paths
They may have kept our ieet;
Yet, holy will their influence be
While each fond heart shall beat |
And, as we tread the throng away,
Which her dear feet have trod,
Ever shall feel our mothers prayers
Leading us up to Cod"

he is an old and intimate friend of
mine and for fear he may think 1 am
treating him with silent contempt, 1
will tell him what my first thought
was on reading his article and that
was that he and an old fox hound

A orlorn Hope,


Otto J. Doesburg, proprietor Holland City
News, Mich, writes:-"A bad cold settled on
my side and back, kidney trouble, liver and
rheumatism combined; suffered terribly,
though was obliged to move about and attend
to business. tried local doctors, but received
no relief, and as forlorn hope tried your
THOMAS EcLEcTRIc on; have only used half

Mr.. Blankit sat looking at the baby, trying to
think of the usual idiotic. unmeaning and I'M
meant things that people say about new babies,
and at last, in a spasm of originality, remarked
that "the baby had its fathers complexion"
Then they all sat and looked at the rich cardi-
nal hues that made the wrinkled countenance
of the unconscious infant glow Ike mountain
sunset, and nobody said anything until feeble
voice from the adjoining room said, 'It was
good thing the baby had it naturally, then, as
it required about fifteen years steady practice
and the cooperation of three scientific clubs
and five political campaigns to acquire it"
Then sad quiet stole over the room again,
only broken by the hard breathing of the ba-
by's father, looking at the thermometer to sec
what time it was, while Mr.. Bankit, feeling
that he could add nothing to what had already
been said, stole down stairs, softly whispering
to himself about some fool, but the company
couldn't catch the name and didn't know who
he meant.-BurliDgton Hawkeye.
