"Of graces named, there are but three
Faith, Hope, and blessed Charity"
"Three more" I said, "there should be,
friend,
Three more to bless US to the end;
May heaven to US this trio send.
And If to listen you'll agree,
Tll tell their precious names to thee:
Love, Patience, and sweet Courtesy"
Love should with Faith go hand in hand,
And Patience wait at Hopes command,
While Courtesy equipped should stand
At Charity's wide open door,
Ana as her ministrations pour
Upon the people, go before.
Yes;- Courtesy should always lead
Prepare the rough soil for the seed,
And bear the cruise of oil in need
When dwelling on fair Charity,
Wethink.mx neighseF, F,JeaHl agres-
Too little of sweet Courtesy.
1t is Of life better part,
The ray to warm troubled heart,
The precious balm to heal the smart.
twill the sternest soul beguile;
Where dwelt frown twill plant
smile,
Itsinfuence speeding many mile.
Then hail, all hail, our graces three!
Send forth their praise DER land and
sea-
Love, Patience. and sweet Courtesy!

A Coffin, a Shrond, a Hearse.
How GraenviIle Man has Arranged
for his own Funeral.

From time to time reference has
been made to the calmness and fore
eight which 4. P. Roddy, Of this city,
has exhibited in making preparation
tor decent and respectable funeral
and burial place. He is determined
that his remains shall have nothing
but respectable and becoming inter
ment and that his grave shall not be
a simple, barren mound Of clay. The
attention which he has already be-
slowed upon tie lot in which his re-
mains are to rest, has been described
Now there is nothing more to be
done. His coffin, his shroud and his
hearse are now secured and arrange
ments for a very nice funeral are
completed. Mr.. Roddy has been ne.
gotiating for some time with L. R
Cline, the we'll known undertaken,
for an outfit for house of clay. Mr..
inquired tae-ftice of coffin.
Mr. Cline told him that he could give
him "a nice one" for fifty dollars.
Mr. Roddy said that..was higher than
he wished to pay. A fifteen dollar
one was suggested, but Mr.. Roddy
still hesitated. He then inquired the
price cf shroud, and was informed
that they ranged from FIVE to ten dol
lars. Mr.. Roddy chose the FIVE dol
lar, one. Then the Lire Of the hearse
was was discussed. Mr.. Cline named
ten dollars. Finally Nh. Roddy in
dicated that he would pay thirty
dollars for the funeral out6t--ffteen
for the coffin, FIVE for the shroud and
ten for the.hearse hire. Metsrs. Cline
and Roddy went into a store on
Main street to draw up the agree
ment and close the bargain. But Mr.
Roddy still thought that bis funeral
expenses were too steep. He sug-
gested, a cheaper co6in-a FIVE dollar
one. The amendment was accepted
and the sum was reduced to twenty
dollars. Then Mr.. Roddy wanted
ten more dollars. deducted, but he
could "scale' the rates no lower ane
he therefore handed over the twenty
dollars. Mr.. Cline gave his receipt
and the trade was perfected. Mr..
Roddy was anxious to have MIR.
Cline's services, wishing no one else
to do his undertaking.-Gresnrtlle

convey the idea that i will be one Of the
handsomest in the coan:y. A short dss-
cription will be in place at this time. In the
front part of the church a gallery has been
bailt in such manner as to maksa small
hall in the center with two stove rooms on
the sides, the whole three practically being
apart OF tas nl:rs OF the church. The
stairs to the gallery, well made and tasty
structure, are on the cast side. On the back
OF the church large lecture room hAs tesn
ba.lt, With a small library and store room
on the north side. These viii be neatly
furnished. Between the lecture room and
the naive OF the church the pulpit has been
built, with folding doors between the two,
arranged in such = way that there will be
one in each room when the do, 10 are closed.
In the coAter of the pulpit is comnodiOus
baptismsl font, which can be entered frem
the lecture room. The pulpit will be very

estimable young woman
''iiss Alma Story has lived in cur city
from childhood. Sns was a graduate Of the
Portland High School class of-79. OF an
unassufaing disposition and possessing those
finer scnsibilities which seem part Of true
womzn's nature, she was the idol Of = very
large circle OF friends. It Is haId to be forced
20 realize that she Is with us no more.
Harder still will i. be, when visiting those
places where she was once 4 constant visitor,
70 miss her familiar face. When We think

acteT. we cAnuot but think she is still with
us in the land OF the living but alas The
fates have decreed otherwise and many will
be the silent tear shed by those whs were
her friends and associates in life. 1t il al

are interested and doubly hard when those
We care for are just budding into WOMAN
