Sister Jennie thou hath left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel
But tits God that has bereft US,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Weep no more for her, dear mother,
She has reached that bIest abode,
In the house of our dear Saviour
King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Weep no more for her, dear sister;
She has broke the ice and gone,
With the banner of King Jesus,
Stained with the SaViour's precious blood.
Let us then march boldly onward,
Till we reach the Shining Shore
There we'll see our Blessed Saviour;
Thore We'll meet to part no more.

more on Friday, August 22d, al
which time and place game of base
ball was played between the Alert,
of our town, and the Atlantic, o.
Baltimore, which resulted in favor O.
the latter club. Score, 10 to 0.
We understand, from disinteresteG
parties, that there were numerous
far fetched decisions by the umpire,
and outrageous conduct on the par
of a great portion of the audience,
which materially aided in securing
the above result, which we hope tht
Atlantics can disprove, as the At
lantics know they have always been
in the past as they will be in the fu
ture, treated with that spirit of fair
ness when visiting our town, and i
would be only common courtesy tt
return the same fair play to our club
or clubs, when playing return game
of ball in your city. l am not
member of the Alert, or any othel
club, and, of course, write only in thu
interest of fair play, and without re
spect to the parties concerned.
