Obituary.

Arminda Nj. Warner, widow of Junia
Warner, one of the early settlers Of this
county, departed this life Nov. 2lst, 1888, at
the residence of her son j. 9. Warner, Paw
Paw, Mich. The deceased was born III the
town Of Litchlield, Herkimer county, N. Y,
April 18th, 1904, nearly so years ago. She
was united in marriage to Junia Warner,
February 20th, 1926, ar Litchfeld, the place
Of her birth. In 1886 they removed 10
Michigan and settled III Almena township,
Van Buren, county. Here, being one of the
first settlers, they became well and favorably
known by their hospitality, noble christian
bearing and labors. Before removing to
the west, MIR. Warner had been member
of the Oneida conference, n. Y, of the
Methodist Episcopal church, but was COM
pelled to take certificate of location, on ac-
count of the failure of his health. He con-
tinued his labors, however, after coming to
this new country, preaching all the way from
ST. Joseph to Prairie Ronde and Schoolcraft
Sister Warner rendered valuable assistance
to her husband in this department. of his
work and was highly esteemed by all. After
the death of her husband she remained upon
the farm giving direction to affairs and keep
ing a home for her children, until they
reached the years of their majority. The
deceased was the mother OF nine chndren,
six of whom survive her: Mrs. L. l.. Palmer,
f. l.. Warner, and j. G. Warner, of Paw Paw,
Mrs. L. L. Hoyt OF Petoskey, Mrs. Nj. A. Sir
rine of Waverly, and w. +. Warner of Grand
Rapids. The last fifteen years of her life she
was an invalid and at times an intense sufferer
with rheumatism. Sister Warmers religious
life and experience was clear and satisfactory.
Converted at fifteen, she never had any
doubts of her acceptance with God, and as
she said TO the writer of this obituary, her
religious experience was growing better and
sweeter all the time. Her last hours were
hours of holy triumph. IL was all glory,
glory, glory, praising God for all the pas1.
rejoicing in the present salvation, and in a
blessed prospect of heaven and immortal
glory. Her funeral was held at the NJ. Il.
church on last sabbath and was attended by.
a large concourse of old friends and acquaint.-
ances.

WHO LIVED HERE BEFORE THE 1sDrAssY

Have we any references to Esquimaux
dwelling in regions significantly south of
their present habitat? If there are such.
then it Is at once evident that the weapons
and domestic implements of such people
must now be buried in the dust of their
ancient southern dwelling. places, and,
these same spots being subsequently ten
anted by the Indian, his handiwork must
also be mingled with that Of his predeces.
sors. The literature of this subject can
be sufficiently outlined by reference to two
authors. Major w. H. DALI in "Tribes
of the Extreme Northwest" remarks:
"There are many facts in American ethnol-
ogy which tend to show that originally the
Innuit of the east coast had much the same
distribution as the walrus, namely, as far
south as New jersey" L submit the rude
argillite arrow-heads found in certain To-
calities in such abundance, and at sig
nifcant depth, as an additional fact, tend
ing in the same direction. In Rev. B. F,
Costa's admirable resume of Icelandic lit
erature there is given abundant evidence
ay, proof-that the people dwelling along
the coast of Massachusetts,, 900 to 1000 A.
d, were not the same race that resisted
the English on the same coast six centuries
later. The descriptions of the people seen
by the Northmen show that, of whatever
race, they were well advanced in the art of
war, and used net only the bow, but hatch
cts and the sling. They were "men of
short stature, bushy hair, Eude, fierce and
devoid of every grace" Ii need. there
fore, only be remembered that the rela-
tionship between the true paleolithic i'm.
plements and those of more advanced fin
ish and design is evident to every one who
carefully examines a complete series. At
the same time, the student is confronted
with reliable historical evidence of the oc-
cupancy Of the Atlantic sea-board by the
Esquimaux as far south as New Jersey,
Does not the impression derived from
strictly arche illogical studies, that all the
stone implements of our Eastern sea.board
are not of one origin, go far to confirm the
position of the historical student that an
earlier race than the Indian once resided
here? De Costa remarks; "During the
eleventh century the red man lived upon
the North American Continent, while the
eastern border of his territory could not
have been situated far away from the At.
lantic coast. In New England he must
have succeeded the people known as
Skr@llings. Prior to that time, his hunt
ing grounds lay toward the interior of the
continent. In course of time, however,
he came into collision with the ruder peo.
pie on the Atlantic cast, the descendants
of an almost amphibious glacial manic.

READY-MADg NOVELS.

Any one ambitious of producing work
OF fiction has only to read the newspapers
to find in their columns the most thrilling
plots, which, with due expansion, can be
developed into novels quite as good as
those of Miss Braddon or Wilkie Collins,
This, at least, is what one is given to un-
derstand by the newspapers themselves, in
which it is no rare thing to see uuarsef

anything the ingenious authors before
named have done in deyising strange com.
plications of human affairs. When was
young, and my first great work of fiction

sistently remained-I made an extensive

a failure. l have tried the excerpts for

EPIrAPHoLoGY.

People often ask us for appropriate in
scriptions for the graves of their dead. They
tell the virtues Of the father, or wife, or
child, and want US to put into compressed
shape all that catalogue of excellencies OF
course we fail in tae attempt. The story Of
lifetime cannot b chise~d by the stone
cutter on the side CT q marble slab. But it
ls not rare thing to go few months after
by the sacred spot and find that the bereft
friends, unable to get from the pastor an epi.
taph sufficiently eulogistic have put their
own brain and heart to work and composed
a rhyme. Now the most unfit sphere on
earth for an inexperienced mind to exercise
the poetic faculty is in epitaphology. It
does very well in copy books, but it is most
unfair to blot the resting place of the dead
with uuskilled poetic scribble. It seems to
us that the owners of cemeteries and grave
yards should keep in their own hand the
right TO refuse inappropriate and ludicrous
epltaphs. Nlne-tenths of those who think
they can write respectable poetry are mis-
taken. We do not say that poesy has passed
from the earth, but it does seem as if the
fountain Hippocrsne had been drained off to
run ssw-mill. 1t is safe to say that most
OF the home. made poetry of graveyards is an
offense to God and man. One would have
thought that the New Hampshire village
would have risen in mob to prevent the in
scription that was really placed on one of its
tombstones, descriptive of man who had
lost his life at the foot of vicious mare on
the way to the brook:
"As this man was leading her to drink,
She kickd and killd him quickr'n a wink"
One would have thought that even couserva.
tive New Jersey would have been in rebell-
ion at child's epitaph, which, in a village
of that State, reads thus:
"She was not smart, she was not fair
But hearts with grief for her are swellin':
All empty stands her little chair,
She died OF eatin' watermelon"
Let not such dissertations be allowed in
hallowed places. Let not poetizers practice
on the tombstone. Our uniform advice to all
those who want acceptable and suggestive
epitsphs is, take passage of Scripture. That
will never wear out. From generation to
generation it will bring down upon all visit.
ors holy hush, and il before that stone has
crumbled the day comes for waking up all the
graveyard sleepers, the very words chiseled
on the marble may be the ones that shall ring
from the trumpet of the archangel.-IDr. Tai.
