Eaton, where they have ever since been
favorably known. About six months
ago sickness confined sister Reyle to her
room which she never left, enjoying
through her protracted illness the kind
attentions of her family, especially of her
daughter, who kept faithful watch at her
side. Medical aid was early sought. but
in vain. The hour of her departure hav-
ing arrived, her spirit returned to God
who gave it. She was a member OF the
Ev. Lutheran Church. Her funeral vas
largely attended on the 10Th inst, and a
discourse delivered by Rev. G. Baugh-
man. She leaves her kind husband, two
sons and one daughter, besides three
sisters and many friends to MOURN her
death. PASTOR.

An exchange believes "science will
produce a plan yet by which trains of
cars will be enabled to pass on one
track" Science does wonders, but it
will be a cold day when it accomplishes
that feat to perform. Railroad engi-
neers occasionally perform the difficult
job by "telescoping" trains; but it's
mighty hard on the train.
We have often been approached with
the interrogation: "Why is it that you
do not make mention of the many crimes
that are being committed, and enter into
a ~stricter detail in giving account of muir
derers?" Indulgent reader, it is about
this way: There is never any good to
accrue from magnifying mems failures,
and the less you say about such misfor-
tunes the better. 1t seems that there
must be a few people who are examples
of human depravity, and tonly contain
mates the public mind to crafty a NOR
bid curiosity for something criminally
mean. However, we do not wish it UNI
derstood that We uphold misdemeanors
by speaking of such things lightly. But
the strength of our efforts ought always
to be toward the elevation of our fellow
man, rather than by giving him another
push downward. 1t only serves to drive
a man deeper into vice by parading his
faults before the public mind, from the
fact that the people regard him as a de-
mon, and shun his presence. If we would
have less disorder, even in our own town,
we should always endeavor to lift a man
up, and never give him a push down
ward.
People have brains for the purpose of
thinking. No man ever amounted to
anything who did not think! All the
great philosophers, statesmen, histori-
ans, soldiers. merchants and mechanics
were thinkers! "I DID NOT THINK I" has
been the ruination of many a mantle
rock upon which many lives have been
wrecked-the maelstrom which has en-
gulphed many fortunes! 1t is one of the
most unfortunate faults any person can
have, the practice of NOT when
at any business or occupation. Not think
ing will ruin any man in business. 1t is
the most a~ggravating excuse for careless
ness. Men in all stations Of life should
think about their business, because
thought makes them prosperous Or skill
ed workmen. Animals do no think
Men are distinguished from animals by
the faculty of thought. Whatever you
engage in, whether business or pleasure,
you cannot succeed unless % THINK
No mechanic can perform a piece of work
without thinking. Nothing a be done
without thought. Don't say, 81 DID NOT
THINK" but give your mind to whatever
you are engaged in, and you will sue
coed. The men who DON'T THINE are
the unfortunate in this world in every
department of life.

Life in Rural England.
from the London Truth


81 have nothing to do but work and
go to bed. I'd sooner be the ass to a
tinker than 1--we the life I am leading"
This is the language put into the mouth
Of farmers son in letter which came
across the other day in one of the Irish
papers complaining of the unspeakable
dizziness of life in the rural districts. I
am inclined to think it supplies one ex-
PLANTATION of the vast growth of the town
population in our days. Now that people
are getting educated, they find they
can't stand the country. They flock up
to town, not so much to make money as
to live the life of human beings.
Whether they gain much by coming to
town is matter upon which there may
be two opinions. Personally, do not
fancy that should like very much iv-
ing in such place as Seven Dials, for
example. But then neither should I
care to be "ass to tinker" There is, of
course, no reason in the eternal fitness
of things why country life should be as

may be something else to do in the
country besides ''work and go to bed"
