Last Sabbath was day uf incxpTesSi
hlc anguish aud SORROW to an aged au,
loving mother, fond sister and two de
voted brothers of this city. That morn
ing the awful message had flashed over
the wires that the youngest member of a
once happy family-PEET NALTY-genial
vivacious, generous, sunny-tcmpercd
Pcct Nalty-who was universally loved
and admired for his many noble aud win.
ming traits of character-lay cold in
death. But the one crushed and anguish
wrung heart of all on that fateful Sab
bath day was that OF young and trust
/ full wife mt her home in McComb City,
| who, until the dread tidimgs came, had
been patiently awaiting the return uf
him who but Il few short hours before had
left her side full of health aud hope
lie had been accidcntly thrown
from moving freight train near French
Station, La, during the darkness of Sat
urday night, and the fall had snapped
the silver chord of life aud left it for
strangers to pick up his rigid form from
beside the track on the following morn
and break the dcath-like news to loved
ones, till now all unconscious of their
irrcparable loss. Sunday night the life
less clay was brought here and clothed in
the labiliments of the silent tomb, ready
on the morrow to he laid away in the 81
lent city of the dead until the trump ct
the resurrection morn shall arouse him
from his drcamlcSs sleep.
Who can interpret the dispensations of
an overriding Providence, and who thar
hath not suffered u like trial can fathom
the agony of those who are thus bereft !
Monday evening came, the solemn fu-
neral knell was heard and long, sor-
rowiul procession, after having listened
to true, eloquent and touching tribute
to the memory of the Il, d by Rev. T. J.
Finn, his friend and pastor, followed the
remains to the tomb.
1t was here that came the sorest test.

for the last time, and hear the cold, dull
thud of the cl0ds on the coffin lid us they
fell and hid forever from your eyes your
beloved dead! Only those who have
passed through such an ordeal can Gppro-
ciate the feelings of that tender, grief
stricken young wife, VI o stood over the
open grave Of an idOlizcd husband on
last Monday evening and fain would have
flung herself into its cold dark depthS to
prevent the separation which, until now,
she had not fully realized must come. Aud
so doubtless felt other loved ones there
How empty and how impotcnt is human
sympathy at such II time as this! yet we
could forget our own sorrow for the
dead in our feeling for the living! God
pity that poor young wife and her help
less little one who has not yet learned to
know its terrible loss! BE Thou truly a
husband to the widow and father to
the fatherlcss.
Farewell, dear friend. May the flowers
ever bloom and the birds ever swcctly
sing above thy resting place, and may thy
virtues live, thy few faults be forgotten.

-:POETRY:--
Abssnce Makes the Heart Grow
Tonder.

IL was early In the summer when NJ,
love and last parted;
She the seasight sought and left me
In the city broken hearted
Ito swelter through the summer. she
on sea kissed shores to wonder;
But her last words gave mo comfort
Absence makes the heart grow
fonder."
How I loved the little letters that
from time to time she sent Inc!
As read, it seemed that they n mo-
mentary sea breeze lent me-
When she wrote OF pic MICS, bathing,
yachting trips; then made Inc
ponder
Well the truth Of that old saw: "Ab-
sence makes the heart grow fond
err"
OF she spoke Of her admirers; how
she made them dance attendance,
Made them carry books and baskets,
and forswear their independence;
spoke OF one she nicknamed Cresus,
who on her his wealth would
squander;
But she added, "Dear old goosie,
Absence makes the heart grow
fonder,'"
to l:worked away, quite happy, thro'
the broiling summer weather,
Longing for the coming autumn, when
we'd walk the world together.
Though her letters were less frequent
still | very often,conned her,
Last one, where the postscript told
NE absence makes the heart
grow fondcr."
Fewer still were now her letters, and
she wrote: "l'm very busy"
I xpostulated d-mildly-with my way
ward witching Lizzie:
Once more came the same old answer
any other seemed beyond her:
Don't you know, you stupid Willie,
Absence makes the heart grow
fonder.'"
One more letter yet..she sent me while
she ut the seaside tarried,
Laughing Mt our mild Irritation, "
telling me that she was married:
And twas thus her note concluded
as read my face turned yellow:
"Absence makes the heart grow fond
er-fonder OF the other fellow"
