Dear brother no more thy presence
Doth cheer our hearthstones now,
For Jesus He babe thee come
To q brighter home on high.
We miss thee, Obi We miss thee,
We miss thee in our home,
Thy acts Of love and kindness
In many ways to cheer.
We miss thee on every Stde
Our loss 1t is trreparable,
But the goodness of God-'twas greater
To thee, though the hearts bereft
No more thy voice is heard
In social converse here,
By those that fingered nigh
Thy chair that now ls vacant
Thy Joyous laugh no more Is heard
When CLEAN of sunshine broke
Here DER thy darkened path
For It's hushed forever In death.
No more art thou sufferer now,
No more paralyt1c,
For disease thy day had marked
For many years below,
No more wilt thou seek strength in weakness,
For WEAKNESS and pain,
Gods grace to guide thee unto Him,
To keep the narrow way.
Seldom vast thou heard to murmur,
Ger thy afflicted state,
Knowing 1t was thy Father, God
Who chastened thee In love,
Believing in His holy word,
His promises all true.
That gave to thee its blessed comfort
30 oft 1t searched by thee.
In the Lord thou did, trust,
On Him thou didst rely,
Who kept thee by His power,
For the better rest on high.
In the haven of eternal rest,
Thy spirit now IS free,
With thy loved ones forever blest
Where there's no tears or weeping.
Ali In that beautiful land,
Where the loved ones are gathering in,
AS the links on earth are broken,
Uniting now In Heaven.
IT'S there we hope to meet thee,
Where partings unknown,
Where thou hast Joined thy loved ones
Who crossed the river before thee.
Meth1nks on the eternal shore
Joyous band awaited
Who Joined hands with thee
In one eternal union;
Who hailed thy coming with delight
The cripple safely landed
On the deathless, painless shore
OF the better land. 1T

A NEW CAR CoUPLING.-We have recently
been shown the model of freight car coup
ling, invented by Mr.. Chas. Wiber, of this
city, and Mr.. Holmes Harrison, of Lynchburg,
cousin of G. NJ Harrison, Esq, of this city.
To the unprofessional eye it presents the ap-
pearance of completion, being what has so long
been desired for freight cars-a cheap and eff
fective self-coupling. 1t is automatic In coup
ling and is uncoupled by a lever which runs
TO the top of the car. thus obvating the ne
cessity of the brakeman leaving his post. By
a simple lever attachment at the side, it can
be made to connect cars of different heights,
and on curves as well as on tangents. Several
eminent engineers and practical railroad men
have carefully examined the model and pro-
nounce it the most complete and practical in
vention of the kind they have seen, in that it
combines perfection of operation with SIM
pliclty and economy in manufacture Should
it prove success, and all who examined it are
of the opinion that it will not only will it make
the fortunes of the inventors, but will prove a
benefit to mankind in the saving of many val
liable lives. The trial coupling are now be
ing made in Lynchburg and will be com
pleted next week, when they will be applied
to cars on the Richmond & Allegheny Rail
road and fairly tested.

AUGUSTA MALE AcADRMY.-To all who
have sons or wards to educate, we specially
commend, for their careful reading. the adver.
tisement of the Augusta Male Academy, to be
found In another column. This is one of the
most excellent schools in the Union. Located
in a neighborhood famed for its health, Gull
ture and refinement, and under the control
of thorough educator, assisted by an able
corps, it offers advantages peculiarly favora-
BILE, not only for the cultivation of the mind
of youth, but also for the development of those
graces of character 30 essential to success IN
after life. As an evidence of the thorough in
struction impaired and splendid system prac-
ticed at this school, we may mention that its
students take the highest stands at the col
leges to which they go from the Augusta. At
the recent commencement exercises Of the
University of Va, T. ]. s. Coiner, OF this
county who left the Augusta Male Academy
last year, was awarded a diploma in Latin and
French and q certificate of distinction in
mathematics. 1t is rarely the case that these
honors can be won in single session at the
University, and the student who is awarded
them must be finely prepared when he enters
Another student of this Academy, Chas. =
Kemper. of Rockingham, graduated In law al
Washington and Lee University this year
He, also, had spent but a single session OF thu
University.

A FAITHFUL OFFICER.-At the meeting
of the Council last Saturday, Jno. r. Kurtz
was reelected to the offices of Overseer of
Poor and Council messenger. The first of
the offices Mr.. Kurtz has held for seven
years, and although the duties appertaining
to it are both delicate and responsible, yet
we have never heard single complaint
When it is considered that he has to deal
with class which is always complaining,
it is remarkable that his administrator re-
ceives no adverse criticism The Council did
wisely and well to re-elect him. The posi-
ton of Council messenger has been filled by
Mr.. Kurtz for SO many years that no one
can remember when he was elected The
Council itself would look strange if the ia
miliar form of Cinthy were not present at its
every meeting. If every man in this world
discharged his duties as faithfully as Jno.
