But why in the name of common sense
should you burn t?" said Judge johnson.
Are you in the habit of having estates left
to You every day, that you dispose of them
so readily"
Il don't think | quite understand thee,
Friend Johnson said Decker.
But Leah's face frightened like a rose.
Il see. | see!' she cried. Father,
Friend Anstasia has lone right, late
though it be. She has willed the Lennox
farm to thee"
And Leah spoke truly. The dead wo-
man had wrought a tardy PREPARATION in
her last days, and Friend Decker and his
daughter had at last legal possession of
what should long ago have been their
own.
No amount of reasoning or remonstrance
had availed with Miss Akerly but one Of
those sudden touches striking the cleo
trio chain wherewith we re darkly bound, >
which saw the soul with disproportionate
force, and induced her to perform an act
of justice at last.
And the jar OF wild plums, with its
train of associations, had been the most
eloquent special pleading of all.

THE STRENGTH OF THE HILLS.

My thoughts go home to that old brown house,
With its low roof sloping down to the east
And its garden fragrant with roses and thyme,
That blossom no longer, except in rhyme,
Where the honey bees used to feast.
Afar in the west the great hills rose,
Silent and steadfist and gloomy and gray;
! thought they were giants, and doomed 10
keep
Their watch. while The world should wake or
sleep,
Till the trumpet should sound on the iudg-
ment day.
/ used to wonder OF what they dreamed
As they brooded there in their silent might,
While March winds smote them, or June rains
fell,
or the SHOWS of Winter with their ghostly
spell
Wrought in the long and lonesome night.
They emembered Il younger world than ours,
Before the trees on their top were born,
When the old brown house was itselfa tree,
And waste were the fields where now you see
The winds astir in the tasseled corn.
And / was as young as the hills were old,
And the world was warm with the breath of
Spring,
Ana the roses req ANA the HllcS WHitc
Budded and bloomed for my hearts delight,
And the birds in my heart began 10 sing.
But calm i'll the di stance the great hills rose,
Deaf unto laptures and dumb unto pain,
Since they knew that joy is the mother of
Grief,
And emb Il butterfiy's life is brief,
And the sun sets only to rise again.
They will brood, and dream, and be silent, as
now,
When the youngest children alive today
Have grown to be women and men, grown
old,
And gone from the world like Il tale that is
told,
And even whose echo forgets to stay.
-Lonise ChandIer Moait0n.

Recent publications descriptive of Pierre

experience with a landowner several years

of the preacher.
God works in light but man sees only

OBITU AIRY.
By THE RECTOR OF TRINITY CuurCH.
SCOTLAND NECK,

On Sunday = Aug. 18th, 1885,
about 8P. NJ. at the residence of her
devoted husband Mr.. j. F. Brinkley,
near Scotland Neck, the Soul of
Mrs. Mamie L. Brinkley, was tax ell
to Paradise. She had been very i'll
for several weeks, bearing her suffer-
ings with great patience and Chris
tian fortitude, and displaying, to
the last, dutiful resignation to the
will of God. She was in the very
prime of matured life, being p years
of age, "full of faith and of good
work, and thus ripe for Paradise. The
present life had many charms for her
a lovely home, kind, devoted, pious
husband, two bright and promising
children, loving and adoring faith.
er and mother, and many others who
were endeared to her in the ties Of
consanguinity, with an extensive
circle of friends who loved and ed
mired her in life: and to cherish her
memory in death. Such an one
may highly value ''this mortal life!"
but she meekly and cheerfully sur
rendered to the call OF God to sleep
in Jesus, and to leave all behind for
the joys Of heaven. She was faith
full commitment Of the Episcopal
Church, and her body passed
through the building in which she
had long loved to worship, joined
by a large number Of her friends of
several creeds in that beautiful Ser
vice known as "The Order for the
Burial Of the Dead" and thence was
buried in the neat Baptist Cemetery
adjoining Trinity Church Yard, there
to await its Summons, as the tene-
ment Of the precious Soul at the
portals Of the Celestial City-'whose
builder and maker is God" Thus
ends the brief pilgrimage Of this
lovely and beloved Child of God.
Her memory will live-long in our
hearts, let us all thank God for her
life's example, and strive to emu
late it. May her bereaved and afflict.
ed husband and devoted parents be
speedily reconciled, and .comforted:
May the dear children be taught her
virtues, and led tenderly and safely
bv the hand of the Good Shepherd,
in green pastures beside the pure
waters Of life until they are called to
rest in His bosom.
