some favorite hymns TO be sung. and
told her to be sure and remember them
Tor he found them consoling and edi-
lying TO the disconsolate heart As
the coffin was opened at the school

Wheat, rye and clover all looked

late snow coming to cover it again will
probably prove beneficial, and it is to
be hoped it may remain on until spring
comes for good, In travelling over the

some very fine pieces of wheat, which
covered the ground well, and which
demonstrates the fact that the north
