Mrs. ANN SCOTT THOMPSON

When 1t pleases the Father to remove con-
spicuous light from among the redeemed on
earth 1t is meet that something more than a
mere announcement of the event be given to the
Christian world Such a notice appeared in
this paper about the middle of November. rela-
ting to the death of Mrs. Ann Scott Thompson.
wife OF the Rev William S. Thompson pastor
OF Trinity church, near New Canton, Va.
In her life, as in her death, this Christian wo-
man fulfilled every rational expectation that
could be based on her antecedents. her early
training as child of the covenant and her
close relations to the church as wife and helper
to our devoted pastor. Descended as she was
from a French Huguenot family who had en-
dured to the last extremity such "relipious"
persecution as the world has seldom been called
on to witness. After the revocation of the
Edlct OF Nantz this family was exterminated
for conscience sake down to the last male mem
Der, from whom she was descended on the pa-
ternal side: On the maternal side her ancestors
were OF that staunch Scotch Presbyterianism
which has so long been conservator of good in
most OF the States of this land OF religious liber
ty. Her mother died when Mrs. Thomson
was young, but from her father, who was an
Elder IN the church to which she belonged. she
early received the most careful and praverful
training IN plous works and Cody convelsa
ton. No wonder, then, that she soon developed
into that stuff OF which martyrs are made and
evlnced in her life and in her death that steady
devotion to principle and duty-that integrity
and consistency which was the most conspicuous
trait IN her whole character and career. OF her
1T can be truly said that in what she believed
to be right she knew no variableness or shadow
OF turning. Though her flesh was often weak
her spirit was ever strong; and in all that she
was, or ever hoped to be, she gave God the glo-
ry; Amid all the trials and troubles of life.
(who has them not y she had an unfailing sup
port IN the promises of His word and when, in
the closing years of her life, she was called on
to take up and bear the cross of intense and
protracted bodily suferings, [Oh, how great

pie faith saying, " He does it." at is all
right. Her only fear was that she might be-
come impatient rebellious, and against this
she prayed increasingly. Nevertheless, her
strong will was exerted to the utmost that she

she was president in the Sunday School, and in

In which communion he continued till his death
His deafness, though it did not prevent social
intercourse, was so great as to prevent him from
hearing what was said fir IN the pulpit vet it
was nevertheless his custom to ride six miles to
church and reverently take his seat with the
worshlppers of God-that he might manifest his
interest In religion and encourage others to at
tend It's services
Possessed of literary culture and excellent
business sense, he lived retired, but honored by
his neishbors; and whilst not seeking lucrative
ONCE or political preferment, he for long time
acted as Supervisor of the county, and in this
position rendered much useful service to the
community in which he lived.
DR.. White was never married, and his strong
affections were given to his kindred. His devo,
ton to his brothers and to the families of those
who had married was unusual and beautiful.

A Work of Art in Danger.

The equestrian statue of Andrew
jackson. by Clark Mills, which stands
IN the Capitol grounds at Nashville,
Tenn, is said to be in danger of tumb-
ling down, which would insure it's de.
struction. It WAS erected in homer O;
Nashville's centennial thre years ago.
1t appears that the temporary base
which was improvised for it rests on
wooden trestles, the least giving way of
which would, it is said, throw the statue
to the ground and destroy it. 1t was in
tended that it should remain on the
wooden supports only until an appro-
!rlatlon cou.d be obtained from the leg
islature to be used in the purchase of 2
marble base: Accordingly, $1,000 was
asked for that purpose, but the legis-
lature thought that sum excessive. and
finally appropriated 81, 900, the act also
providing for the appointment Of com
m1ttee to carry ont the object designed.
The committee, however, after taking
some preliminary action in the matter.
seems to have stopped there and left th !
statute to take care OF itself. This neg
iect has given rise to much indignant
continent. The people feel that it would
be a pity to have so great work de.

claimed that this statue is the best Of the

UnfulfIIed.

Persons who are in the habit of attach
ing undue significance to what they call
their "presentiments," may learn
something from ALL experience Of the
Emperor of Germany. While inspect
ing the Karlsbad pavilion at hygenic
exhibition he noticed small china cup,
bearing the date 1868, and decorated
with blue silk ribbon. On inquiry, he
was informed that this was the cup from
which he had taken the waters at Karls-
bad in 1868, preserved in memory of bis
visit.
Taking the cup in his hand, the
Emperor said, with smile, "Yes, re-
member that time very we'll. It's TWEEN
ty years ago, and yet it nearly seems as
if only months had passed since then,
my recollections are SO vivid. They re-
mind me Of a small episode which, per-
haps, | may tell you. One night

man handed me cup containing poison.
When | awoke / laughed at this dream,
Tor every morning at the spring L re-
ceived my cup from the hands Of a
charming. girl, and that she had no
desire to take my life felt positive.
InaJ morning, Went 10 inc spring
at the usual hour; but when I found q
man present this time waiting to hand
me the cup, instead of the girl, who was
prevented from coming by illness, or
some other reason, then the memory OF
my dream made me feel quite uneasy
and shiverv for moment. | remained
uncertain for some instants, but then /
suppressed my suspicious. saying to
myself: THE good Karlsbaders cannot
have any thoughts of my murder +.
t.I looked once more at all the pleas
ant surroundings, and emptied the
cup at draugbt! OF :course it did not
harm me. On the contrary, my stay at
Kar)sbad was very beneficial to me."-
