life. A natural tendency TO regard others better
than herself, and a disposition TO retire from
prominent positions, did not in the least prevent
her from developing christian life firm, intelli-
gent and Joyous in character. From her Bible
she took hose great truths that guided her in
hcr course. The well read, the thoughtfulfy
pOndered, word ofGud was her guide in the joys
and in the frequent bereavements of her unset
fish career. The Masters voice. "Freey ye have
received" had deep meaning, and cheerfully
responding she freely gave. The far-away mis-
sionary was made glad by her gifts, while the
most needy individual nearest her home shared
her bounty. The rough way of the student was
made more easy by her timely favors. Every
church bcnevolence received its due considera-
uOn, while those in our midst most liable to be
lieved by her. These gifts came without ostenta-
ton and the reel ient knew only that the bounty
came from "a friend"
a rare appreciation of flvors great or small,
conferred upon her, whether without or within
the family circle, made the giving of these pc
culiar satisfaction to friends. After acknow-
edglng them, and then by many ways repay ing
them, she would still regard herself dehior and
insist that the remainder must be made up in
| love she freely gave.
A tender thoughttuness for the welfare of
others was constantly expressing itself, not by
words but by constant speaking acts
rctlrl T. winning way characterized all her
intercourse with her friends AS in nature there
are forces the most powerful, so under the qnet,

there was powerful unseen current bearing

themselves within its influence. And this cur
rent does not cease with death, but Its influence

FRIDAY. DECEMBER 81, 1888.

The experience of Brandon in the mat
ter of water works is interesting, in
view of what is proposed here. Their
system, complete. cost about $40 200, and
was paid for ty the issuance of bonds
to that amount, bearing per cent inter-
est. The interest charge, therefore, is
now $4,000. The first $1,000 of the
bonds becomes due on January l, 1854.
This year the income from water rates
has been $1,000, so that in order to pay
the interest and the 81 900 it has been
necessary to raise by taxation only
81 POO. The income is steadily incTeas-
ing, while the interest decreases as the
bonds are paid. 1t does not require much
calculation to show that before a great
while the income will pay both interest
and bond ($1,000 becoming due at the
beginning of each year,; and then there
will be no tax. In 40 years the place
will own the works. The rates charged
are low namely Family of persons, S.
year; each additional person, 81 /; COW,
81 horse. 81. 80; bath-tub, SO. The major
ity probably pay the lowest rate. So, less
than ten cents a week. Neither the tax
nor the rates are burdensome there; and
there is no reason to believe they would

We gather as christian community, a band
OF neighbors and friends, at the burial of chris.
tan We come to bring loving tribute to the
memory of one of our number whe has these
years gone in and out among u.s. We come with
sadness, with tenderness, with awe, and yet We
come with hope and consolation. With sedn Be
we come, for the heart is affected and the eyes
overflow as We think of parting with one and
bidding n long farewell; with tenderness, for hu.
man hearts are much alike and we feel for each
others grief5 and bereavements; with awe, for
the mystery OF death which we are all to solve
has just been solved by one who was so late with
us. The veil parting the visible and invisible
has been put aside for our friend, and we feel
hushed into silence and reverence in the pres
ence of the dead.
But above all we come to a christian burial
with hope and consolation, which grows even in.
to holy triumph. The Masters voice has been
heard and the servant has been called from ser
vice to reward, from bearing the cross to wear.
Ing the crown.
Could the words of our loved friend be heard
we shonld be adm nished that our words of com
mendation should be few; but for our own com
fort and help we may in this presence speak rev.
1rently OF the virtues OF the dead
The seal of saintship is put upon the name OF
our departed one, for "Precious in the sight o
the Lord is the death ofhis saints" Our glOrifed
sister early heard the Fathers voice "GIve IA
thy heart" and she responded " II |, have il
thine" This first and greatest of LIES questions
being settled, the long line OF christian graces
blossomed in rare beauty ami fully fruited in hei

A good deal of anxiety is being mani
tested among the farmers in some parts
of the town because of the scarcity of
water. Many wells are dry and springs
that have never failed are nearly dry.
The Lime company have raised the

The stone is now dumped from the cart

tors and leading them to wish for snow

otherwise, as the,ground is so hard and
frozen.
Mr.. A. B. Huntley, who is living with
his son, o. G. Huntley, at the Junction,
had very narrow escape from death a
few weeks since. Being quite old and
nearly blind, he fell down the stairs
leading from the chamber to the outside
of the house. He fell with such force as
to break the outside door off the hinges.
When found he was insensible and re-
manned so most of the time for several
days. He has nearly recovered, and
with a fair prospect of regaining his
| former health.
The employees on the lime ledge still
persist in throwing stones out OF the
quarry just little too far to be altogeth-

thrown several hundred feet in the air

force it would inevitably have gone
