In Memoriam.

WHEREAS, Our heavenly Father,
in his divine will and providence,
has seen fit to remove from our midst
our beloved friend and classmate,
little Ethel Damon, an earnest and
consistent member of Glass No 4,
Union Sunday School, Crofon, KY,
who departed this life Oct. %, 1886
and
WHEREAS, We, her teacher and
classmates, do deeply deplore the
loss of one so young, pure and prom
Using; therefore be it
ReSolred, That we bow in humble
submission to the will of our Father.
"The Lord giveth aud the Lord
taketh away. Blessed be the name
of the Lord" And be it further
ReSolved, That we offer our sim
cere and heartfelt sympathy to the
bereayed family in their aflliction.
''she died in her innocence and purity.
Ere sin could blight or sorrow fade,
Death came with timely care,n
We would say to the sorrowing
ones, put your trust in Him who,
alone can heal the broken hearted,
and rejoice that it is your privilege
to meet your little one, in a brighter
and purer world "Where pain and
sorrow visit not, and Deaths dark
hand hath no control"
Resolred, That these resolutions
be sent to the SOUTH KENTucKIAN
for publication, and copy be sent t.
the family of the departed. .

"Not Complete Without IT,"

1t affords me great pleasure to GER
fifty to the value Of Goocl's Mexican
Syrup, having tried it during the past
winter and Spring. My four chill
dren, ranging in age from 2to 8, took
severe coughs, and after doctoring
two months without any benefit, and
the youngest growing exceedingly
worse, was advised TO try Mexican
Syrup, and | am happy to state that
after using three bottles all were
cured, and l checrfully recommend
it to any one suffering with cold, or
weak lungs. We would not feel our
household wants were completed
without bottle of Gooch's Mexican
Syrup. Respectfully,

Manager Sagendorph Iron Roofing

Mr.. Tilden's Prophecy.


Senator German once said to Mr..
Tildren with reference to the election
of 1876: "The general verdict was
that our friends did not display
enough firmness on that occasion,
and we lacked sufficient nerve to de-
mand our rights"
THAT was perfectly natural" re-
piled Mr.. Tilden. "Yet, do not re-
greet our conduct on that occasion, for
within eight years every reasonable
person will recognize that it was not
possible for our party to take any
other course, as the country was just
recovering from the effects of great
civil war, and it would not have been
wise to disturb the peaceful relations
then existing between the people OF
our land. l will live to see the day
when every Republican who has any
self-respect will be heartily ashamed
of the part he played in that politica
drama"

GIVING.

The great and good Martin Luther
loved to give. The fact that he was him
self poor did not hinder his giving.
" God is rich; he will provide for our
wants." he would say, when reproached
for giving away what seemed to be need
ed for his own comfort Once a poor
student came to him who was about TO
leave Wittenberg. He had no money and
was in great need. Luther longed to
help him, and in real distress looked
about to see il there was anything he
could give. His eyes fell upon silver
cup which had been presented to him by
his king, the Elector of Saxony. His wife
was present and looked her disapproyal,
but Luther seized it, and crushing the
sides together, pressed it upon the young
man, saying, 81 have no need OF silver
cup" God always gives to those who
give to his poor. If we viii trust bin he
will never let us suffer on account of
gifts made in the spirit of love. The lit
tie child can give love and kind words
and helpful deeds, and by-and-by, as
God sees the willingness to give, he will
trust his child with other, though no
larger, gifts to distribute. = Sunday

A GOOD MANS TENDERNESS.

Boys are sometimes tempted TO think
and unmanly. Yet the tenderest heart
may be associated with the strongest
and most forcible mind and will. Take,
for example, the story told of him to
whom we owe our wonderful railway sys
tenn George Stephenson went one day
into an upper room of his house and
closed the window. 1t had been left open
a long time because of the great heat,
but now the weather was becoming cool
er, and go Mr.. Stephenson thought it
would be we'll to shut it. He little knew
at the time what he was doing. Two or
three days afterward, however, he chanc-
ed to observe bird flying against that
same window, and beating against it with
all its might again and again, as if trying
to break it. His sympathy and curiosity
were aroused. What could the little
thing want? He went at once to the
room and opened the window to see. The
window opened, the bird few straight to
one particular spot in the room, where Ste
phenson saw nest--that little birds nest.
The poor bird looked at it, took the sad
story in at a glance, and huttered down
to the floor, broken hearted, almost dead.
Stephenson drawing near to look was
filed with unspeakab!e sorrow. There
sat the mother bird, and under it four
tiny little ones-mother and young-all
apparently dead. Stephenson cried aloud.
He tenderly lifted the exhausted bird
from the floor, the worm il had SO long
and so bravely struggled to bring to its
home and young, still in its beak, and care
fully tried 10 revive it, but all his efforts
proved in vain. 1t speedily died, and the
great man mourned for many day. AT
that time the force of George Stephen
sons mind was changing the face of the
earth yet he wept at the sight of this dead
family, and was deeply grieved because
he himself had uneonsciously been the
cause Of death. Manchester Times.
