word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the meaning of anoth-

past. So it is with nervous diseases, as
they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Bilious
ness, and all are caused by troubles that
arise from a diseased condition of the

DEATH OF Mr.. MATHEWS Mr..
James Mathews, one ofour oldest and
best known citizens, passed quietly
away Wednesday night, at the age of
IL. He was native of Martinsburg,
and one of its lifelong citizens. With
his brother, who yet survives him,
they were early thrown upon their
own resources, and from childhood to
old age they fulfilled the divine in
junction to labor and pray; for they
are the pioneers of Methodism in this
section, and have not only labored for
man but for God, in building up the
Church and raising their families in
the fear of the Lord. In we olden time
Mr.. Mathews was halter by trade,
before the invention of machinery. He
was once Mayor of Martinsburg about
the war period, and always took an
active part in public affairs. In poll
tics he was strong supporter of Har-
rison in his time, and looked with
pride to the coming election day
when he could again vote for later
representative of present and bygone
principles, but God willed otherwise.
For some time his usual vigor had
left him, and he was ripe for to be
gathered into the barn of his fathers,
and waiting for the summons that
would call him to his reward.
In this age of excitement and ambi-
tion we often feel discouraged because
there is nothing for us to do to gain
worldly fame and favor; but young
men can take a wholesome lesson
from lives like this, of a man grown
old in the quiet service of state, of re-
ligion and of family. There was no
bitterness in his cup of life, no disap-
pointment or failure. He did what it
was appointed for him to do with all
his strength, and was satisfied, trust
ing not in perishable things, but stor-
ing UP the treasures of life well
spent where the unseen Hand guard
ed them from danger.
His funeral took place yesterday
afternoon from the M. f. Church.
