We met when thy life was aglow, Tom,

But their beautiful voices are hushed, Tom,
Their messages unexrressed.
Few the years that have told thy life, Tom,
But with love they crown thy name,
Ere Azrael broke the hour. glass, Tom,
And swift transition came.
Not thine to know life's burdens, Tom,
Or see its beauties fade.
Before its sorrows found thee, Tom,
Our light had turned to shade.
Thy tender, bright eyes were yelled, Tom,
To pass through eternal light;
Death closed mortality's portals, Tom,
And hid us from thy sight.
But your laugh and your CHEEKY voice,
Tom,
Echoes on in its happy tone,
Linking memory, life and us, Tom,
To thee in the vast Unknown.

Blaine represents American

qucntly is hated by free traders,
generally and by Englishmen, spec
tally. He has more brains in one
corner of his Uranium than has
Victoria's combined cabinet. To
show the meanness Of their spite
they are caricaturing Mr.. Blaine

out that this cartoon is the work
of an English hireling. The New

unworthy tattooer:

is an Englishman. Evidently
neither the native born, imported

ever forgive Mr.. Blaine for his

church, who died in East Tennessee,
in 1868.
Mrs. Palmer was born in Smyth coun-
ty, Va, where she continued to live
until after the war Very early in life
when not more than ID or IA years old)
she united with the church. Her hus-
band, who was of New England birth,
came to Smyth County, whilst still a
young man, and became pastor Il a
church there where for quarter OF
century he preached the Word, and
struggled with adversely, but he laborei
not in vain. After removing to Tennes-
see, he labored in connection with the
Bible Society, preaching also as be found
opportunity After his death, one of
two sons whom be left behind him, was
dro Hned in the river James, at Richmond,
Va, where he was engaged at the time in
business. With her remaining son,
Mrs. Palmer afterward moved to Texas,
where they resided for several years. But
being very DESTROYS to return to her native
heath, she persuaded her son to close up
his business there and bring her back.
After spending some months in Pennsyl-
vania, Mr.. Palmer came to our city and
purchased a house on Maple Avenue and
made his preparations to open drug
store, on Queen st. and had brought his
mother to their new home, where they
had everything nicely fixed around them,
y hen suddenly, without moments
warning and whilst alone in her house,
the summons came, and when Mr.. Pal
mer came home to tea, he found her lying
on the floor, sweetly sleeping in Jesus.

get out of order and in very short
time prove utterly useless. Mr.. L..

ANY DIFFERENCE

sSince Blaine has been nominal
ted we want to hear from the Hon.
Fl. G. Is he with us or ''fornenst"
ms, as people generally believe
If he is against us, let him resign
the position of delegate to the
Democratic National Convention,
to which he never should have
been chosen Wetzel Democrat.
All this because Mr.. Blaine and
Mr.. Davis happen to be friends
and business associates. This is
very tart way to 90 after man
whose purse has been at the ser
vice of the Democratic party in
West Virginia.-Hart in Hntelli-
gencer.
Any difference, Mr.. Hart, in the
principle or its application? The
Arthur gang, aided somewhat by
you, claimed that man couldn't
be postmaster and be associated
in business with democrat. Ii
was even asserted that a man
should not be continued in office
and be an editor Of an independ.
ent paper. But, hurrah for the
man who carries his sovereignty
under his own hat. That is the
principle that is growing in this
country and will be maintained.

GoDEY's LADY's Book for July
is an especially good number, and,
considering the high standard of
this excellent magazine, this is per-
haps as generous praise as could be
bestowed upon it. The book is just
entering upon its fifty-fifth year, and
celebrates this mature anniversary
in a fitting manner. The original
design for crazy patchwork which
accompanies the book furnished the
illustration for a story by Dulcie
Weir, in which the trials of two
young ladies who start out to make
a quilt are amusingly set forth.
The poems this month are especially
good, and there is a full quota Of
short stories and sketches. That all
may be able to see how beautiful the
book is, the publishers u. Ii. Haul

the new volume (six months) to any
