The three burisls here this week
forcibly illustrate that the young,
the middle-aged, the old, all, must
die One day a tender child is laid
IN her little grave and sorrowing
f.iends strewed flowers over the
freshly made grave ; on the next, a
Young mother is followed by her
bereaved husband and loved ones
TO her last resting place, leaving her
child behind one day. later, an
aged man, a grandfather of more
than four score years, Is consigned
with silvery locks TO The tomb.
Their mourners are many, hearts are
bleeding, but He in whose iuscruti
bic providence al must die doth
olso promise that All mas live again.
aud il j. faith in this promise that
inspires the precious, coahdeet
hope that on the shining shore OF
the beautiful beyond We may meet
the loved ones gone.

Death Takes the Tenderest.

Ida HANsELL, daughter of LU
THEIR and MAGGIE McCoRD, died at
the family T, sidence in Pulaski last
Sunday morning at 9:10 clock, of
diphtheria, aged 3 years, months
and IL days.
Three times has the writer been
called upon to record the death Of a
brother child. We would escape
the task if possible, for words are
too cold and tenderest expressions
seem cruel in such relation. Each
time the death angel approaches he
takes the tenderest, and with the
very refinement of cruelty he hest
tates to make the thrust until his
subject has time to wind it's little
arms all around the hearts of the
household. Three times he has
sprinkled the door-posts. Three
little graves, side by side, are the
monuments of his relentless cruelty.
Were it fate, or chance, or man, or
demon, how our hearts would rebel?
1t is Cod He doeth all things for
the best. And yet how wildly the
heart cries out Hearts cannot
reason. They bleed and break, and
could they think perhaps they
might rebel in efforts to escape from
grief. How wise the plan that
made them thus. They bleed and
break and then God picks up the
fragments and heals them and re-
moulds and purifies. Three times
have hearts been smitten in one
household at the tenderest point.
How inscrutable the wisdom that
expresses itself thus. And yet we
are permitted to know absolutely
that each stroke that shattered
hearts made an angel. Light be
gins to dawn here. And still the
heart inquiries in its anguish why
it is not done some other way. We
C mot know; we must yield; but
if we vie d and trust we may know
that it is the best. Our philosophy
exhausts itself in vain endeavor to
fathom Gods ways. Faith is the
key.
The Sunday mornings sun was
DrlSnJly SHINING anu Tie DlruS were
sweetly singing, and the mellow
chimes of church bells filled the air.
Twas the summons to Sunday |
school, and the children went
trooping joyously to the house of
God. While these bells were ring
ing Ida heard the bells Of heaven,
and the sweet spirit gently with
drew from its suffering tenement,
and out of the sound of the church
bells and past the singing birds and
on through the cleaning sunlight
it passed into the Sunday school of
heaven. They buried the little
blue eyed darling so tenderly. o
God, pity the anguish and be ten
der with the hearts Thou hast bro
ken for Thy use, and bind up the
and let these cords
Thou hast drawn from this house
hold to heaven s gate suffice to
hold them until Thou callest them
also through the sunshine and past
,he singing birds into the light of
Thy presence and to the company
Of these three Tn u hast taken to
rhyself.

Rlaokwood rr. Sold.

While in Nashville last week Mr..
| McKimmin sold the black stallion,
Blackwood Jr, by Blsckwood, dam
Belle Sheridan, by Bloods Black
Hawk, to Mr.. Woodmansee, agent
for Commodore n. w. KittsoB, of
ST. Paul, Minnesota. Mr.. Wood
mansee said that he had been in
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Kentucky-in fact over the entire
country, and had looked at every
prominent stallion that be could
hear or know of, and that he liked
Black wood Jr. better than any or
all of them. The price &c. 800 may
not at first seem large for a stallion
of his reputation and qualities, but
there are doubtless reasons for the
sale which, if known, would make
the price appear materially larger.
Blackwo Jr. is now eleven years
Old, and it is to be doubted il there
is another horse the same age in the
world that can compare with him
in all the good qualities that 90 to
make up a successful trotting stall
lion. As a turf horse he always
paid his way, with plenty to spare.
We do not believe that there are
but three stations in the world that
have a better record made at the
same age. These are Santa Claus,
Won Arnim and Gov. Sprague, and
the last of these has never amounted |
to much since race of broken |
heats with Black wood Jr. at PhIla- |
delphis in 1876. Mr.. Woodmansee
said that be had never seen a stall |
lion of any kind, anywhere, that
bred with the same uniformity aud |
success as did his purchase, and |
tits is probably the truth, for all of
this horses colts are large, fine
looking, and all have commanded |
good prices. If there is another
trotting stallion in the world who,
before he was ten years old, has
had two of his colts to sell for $10,-
600 each, and that, too, before they
had shown any greatspeed, there has,
as yet, been no account made of it.
He was shipped from this place TO
last week, and from thence
to the home of his new owner in
who also Owls a young
stallion by his recent purchase that
cost him So 600 as yearhng. The
trade was effected through Mr. w.
H Wilson, OF Cynthiana, KY, the
owner of RavenswOod, one of the
most ardent admirers of this family
Of horses. Mr. McKimmln has
nearly a score of his get of both
sexes, some of them with perfect
crosses, in his stable here, thus
eaving a fine trace of the noble
lorse's blood in this county.

Farmers.

Read this short article while it is
before your eyes. Are we prosper.
ing as a class? If not, why not
We are sensible of the fact that the
farmers of Giles county are growing
poorer every year. Our lands are
depreciating in value, arr growing
less productive, and yet every one
knows they have wonderful recu-
perative power and as great apti-
tudes for every form of rural hus
bandry as any county in the state,
and needs only the employment of
proper methods to make it one of
the most prosperous, progressive
and desirable. Will immigration
supply our wants? If so, let us give
our earnest support to the society
organized in our town for the pur-
pose of promoting it. If not, let US
direct our thoughts and energies to
our condition and determine if pos
sible what will improve it. The
society meets the first Saturday in
each month. Let us attend its
meetings. The discussion of the
subject of immigration will do no
harm, and surely we should not con-
denim the movement until we have
thoroughly understood its objects
and plans. Should the discussion
and investigation Of the questions
involved in it in reference to our
own wants develop the causes and
remedies we are in search of, a posi-
tive good would be the result
Let us meet together and as sensi-
BILE and practical men, put our heads
together and seriously consider
those questions which have SO in
innate a relation to our interests.
The man who will not lift a finger
in behalf of any movement for the
of our interests should
be the last to condemn the efforts
of others. Attend the meeting the
first Saturday in April. The time
it takes you to do it may form one
of the most profitable investments
of your life. OF one thing we are
assured, we cannot awake too soon
from our lethargy. We cannot
afford to be Indifferent when our
best interests, as individuals and
are at stake. Nor can we
act too soon in view of the time it
will take to mature our efforts. II.

Capt. John H. Woodbridge, the
blind hero of Perryville, whose
deeds and misfortunes have en-
deared him to this people, is to be
the recipient of a purse of $500, from
his friends, upon the anniver- airy of
he fatal day that closed his eyes
forever. 1t is a fitting tribute to
his worth and speaks tangibly the
love borne him, and is presented not
in naked charity, but in the charity
of love-that virtue that is even
greater than faith or hope. Through
the long decade of gloom and dark
ness since an enemy's ball passed
through his temples he has been
sustained by the buoyancY of
brave heart and a physical energy
that did not desert him even at the
time of the great calamity that be-
fell him. With both eyes shot out,
still standing, he called upon his
acting lieutenant to take charge of
his company. He stands yet as true
and brave as when he yielded more
than life to his country, and the
people for whom he made the great
sacrifice will never cease to love him
and honor him.
