TAFT.--Emmons Taft of Plainfield quietly
passed away to his heavenly home March l4th,
aged sixty-eight years. Brother Taft had been
in feeble health for nearly two years, but had at
tended to his business affairs up to seven weeks
prior to his death. He was at one time resident
OF Barre, but for the past thirty-eight or thirty
nine years has been resident of Plainfield He
was an upright man in all business ira sactions
and was respected by all who knew him More
than that he was consistent Christian man In
his last sickness his Christian experience was
clear He loved the Bible and its Author, the
cause of God and all mankind. To use his own
language, "There is nothing in my heart but
love" SIS this death?" he would say. Precious
Jesus!" His funeral was attended at his home
by Rev. Mr.. Rogers OF Montpelier, assisted by the
writer and Rev. Mr.. Swinerton OF Painfield
Sister Taft is alone, her family having all been
called to the better land but she is in the midst OF
friends who deeply syrpathize with her and who
are ready to aid her at any time. She has good
home. plenty OF this worlds goods, but above
has Jesus Christ as her friend and Saviour. May
he supportlher in this trying time.

DAvIs-wA soN-In Corinth, at the home OF her
daughter-the wife of Hon Thomas Wason-died
March o. Mrs. Anna Fish Davis, at the advanced
age of eighty-nine years and eleven months Mrs
Davis had for more than year been confined to
her bed, the result OF fall. Though suffering al
no time acute pain, she longed to be absent from
the weary body, and be at home, whittier she had
journeyed 30 long At her departure friends
could have no regrets, for II was simply the clos
ing scene Of a long life wel-spent, rest from la.
Dor, salvation finished. While this life was draw
ing TO It's close, In the same home another " slve
cord " was being "loosed" In less than tire,
weeks after the death OF Mrs Davis her son-in
law, Hon Thomas Wason, quietly passed away
March q, at the age OF eighty-two. For soml
time fatal disease had been preying upon him
His strong constitution, remarkably well pre-
served withstood the attack, but finally gave NJ
the unequal contest. Judge Wason was widel,
and favorably known, not only in his native tow
| and county, but also In neighboring counties
| His good Judgment, knowledge of men and affairs
and his integrity, procured for him many position
OF honor and trust in public and private affairs
| lie was keenly interested in everything pertain
| ing to the welfare OF the town. state and nation
| His influence was always on the side of good mel
and good measures. His approval Of the RICH
was hearty, his disapproyal OF the wrong was In
| tense and outspoken Though not member o
| any church, he walked worthily, and we love b
think OF him as entered into full fellowship witt
| the family Of the redeemed. He leaves a wife
| AN aged brother, and four children-one son an
three daughters, all Of whom are worthy Of sue
| a father. j.

Fast Day.

The union Fast day services were held this
year at Bethany church, with sermon by Rev.
d. L. Miller Of Trinity church. The sermon was
upon the Importance of national vigilance in view
OF certain dangers Of an internal character which
threaten us, founded upon Paul's words, watch
ye stand fast in the faith" The speaker con-
sidered this time to listen to Gods Word with
the ear Of the nation. He set up and established
the fact by history that liberty is the genius of
the nation. Whatever would undermine this
threatens the nation. Personal ambition in poll
tics as illustrated In some Of the events of the
past year was mentioned as one of our dangers;
partisan spirit was considered another as seen in
the fact that no great question is ever discussed
in congress high, broad principles of right and
TRUTH but on the low level OF policy and partisan
ship. This was seen In the discussion OF the
Mormon question and the anti-Chinese bill.
Another danger to liberty appears in our possible
inability to Amercanize perfectly and speedily
the heterogeneous masses coming to our shores
with their varied customs and religions. The
speaker would not lock the doors OF the United
States against any, as he had heard General But
Ter advocate but meet all who come with a Bibl
and Christian influence-meet activity in the

tivity. vigorous Christianity must be Guilt
waited and extended il we are to meet the infdel-
ity Of the times, il we are to Americanize and
Chrstianize the heather who come to us, If we
are to save the Indian, If we are to make homes
happy and save the disgrace Of so many divorces.
At St. Augustine's Good Friday services were
held. The morning service consisted in reading
the Passion and the prayers for all classes for the
church, the pope, the bishops, priests the faith
full, pagans and Jews, followed by the elevation
of the cross. In the evening Father Duglue held
devotional service,-the Way of the Cross,
symbolizing the departure Of our Lord from Pr
late's court, and the scenes through which he
passed till his crucifixion on Calvary.
The services at Christ Church consisted of
morning prayer, with the ante-communon SER
vice, in which was included special prayers for
unbelievers, etc. The offerings of Holy Week
were appropriated to missions among the Jews,
which have been actively and successfully prose-
cuted in the last few years, especially. The ser
mon was on these words, "Then answered all
the people, his blood be on us, and on our chill
dren;" st. Matthew xvii: %

WE gladly publish the following letter from a
practical farmer:

"WINDHAM, N. H., December 81, 1881
" Bradley Fertilizer Coin regard to Bradleys
Phosphate think there Is but one question to be
met can farmers afford to pay the price?
think the price is high but | would ask every
farmer II 1t is not as cheap as any manure he can
buy counting the cost of handling Bsrn-yard
manure cannot be obtained In sufficient quantities
Every farmer wants all he can make, and then
does not have half enough. 1t is my opinion that
it pays New Hampshire farmers to buy the Phos-
phate, even at present price. Let every farmer
barrels Of Bradley's Phosphate, and SOW 1t broad
cast upon his fields about the first of April say
five hundred pounds per acre where the grass Is
not all bound out, and nine out of every ten will
say 1t pays 1t will last as long as any manure.
This can show on my farm. You complain of
your pastures. Try Bradley's Phosphate on them
Your cows are poor and not doing well, they are
inclined to chew bones, your father and grand
father called 1t good what Is the history OF 1t?
nice lot of land running back from your barn on
TO beautiful HILL very convenient for the young
cattle from early spring until late in the fall and
the cows have cropped It every summer from your
earliest remembrance; and not one pound OF
manure has been carried on TO it. You have
raised your cattle, fatted your beef had all your
milk, pastured your horses on 1t, and have never
made the slightest return Now, ask you II 1t IL
not reasonable TO suppose that 1t would pay to put
some kind OF manure on your pasture2 And how
can you do 1t any cheaper easier than by using
Bradleys Phosphatep | know it will pay you to
use 1t literally. have stated to you my ideas,
| but | think every one feels more the force of
truth after he has demonstrated 1t for himself
Your farm may be small and your means cramped
| but advise you to buy Bradley's Phosphate, and
| give 1t a fair trial. HORACE BERRY"

TAKING everything into consideration, there is
Iothing better than barn manure for growing
crops; but phosphates do an important work for
the farmer in giving his crops an early start,
while his barn manure natures them. Large
crops are also grown on Bowkers Phosphate
clone, which oftentimes gives better results than
barn manure. Mr.. B. c. Latham Of South Royal
ton, Vt, says: "I procured Bowkers Hill and
Drill Phosphate, guano, wheat, bran, and two
other phosphates, and used them side by side,
and the result was that the Bowker Hill and Drill
