A Faithful Worker.

We cannot forbear giving ex'
preston to the admiration and love
we have for that most faithful and
untiring worker, Mrs. Henry B,
Hubbard, our State Treasurer, and
we believe the charge of "invidi-
GUS distinction" will not be made
by those who know her.
Laboring under physical disad-
vantages that most Of us would
consider abundant excuse for not
working, she is instant in season
and out, and to us her calm, spirit
ual face, is an inspiration.
Unable to hear, as the rest of us
do,she sits patiently with us,catch-
ing but few words of our delibera-
tions, but ready, when appealed to,
for practical advice, with a clear,
business brain, a fervent, faithful
heart and lndomitable energy.
What wonder that we thanked
God and took courage for such an
ally?
We wish some of the women who
are saying, II pray Thee have me
excused" could experience the
helptulness of her example.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1885-09-30

and paying a capable woman a
salary to superintend this work,

After enjoying that most indie
scribable of sensations that comes
to a traveller, who, hurrying to
"make a train" sees the last end
of it hurrying around the corner
out of sight, we solaced ourselves
by the cordial hospitality Of the
"List home" and the unutterably
funny exhibition Of Pronouncing
