The Cure of Shyness.

A shy disposition is misfortune to
its possessor. 1t causes him to shrink
from meeting others. and when he can
rot help nesting them it makes him
stlif in manner and awkward in speech.
Archbishop Whateley was very shy in
his early life. His friends counseled
him to initiate the example of polite
men' He tried, but tho effort made
him think so much of himself that he
became moro shy than ever After a
time he said to himself II am. and

and not think much about it, and make
up my mind to endure what can't be
cured. Acting on this resolve he saws.

"With us their names shall live
Through long succeeding years,
Embalmed with all our hearts
Can give, our praises and our tears"


At her residence in Bridport, VT, Feb. -,
1889, Mrs. Mary j., wife of Joseph II. Crane,
in the 55th year of her age.
On Wednesday, the 18th, the community
was panied to learn of the death of Mrs. Jo-
seph II. Crane of Bridport. The intelligence
brought sorrow put not surprise, as she had,
Tor several weeks, been ill of what proved to
be an incurable affection of the heart. She
suffered much, the disease eliminating in n
period of intense distress during almost the
last hours. Her kind heart, cheerful DISPOSE
ton and sterling worth endeared her to a
large circle of friends and neighbors, who
filled the house in attendance on the funeral
service. She was long n consistent and very
efficient member OF the Addison Baptist
church, whose loss in her death is very deep
ly felt by its members. She leaves sorrow
ing husband and two sons to mourn the loss
OF a devoted wife and mother; also two broth
ers and large circle of relatives. The scrip
ture isaiah xii p upon which she requested
that her pastor should speak at her funeral,

Her funeral was at her late residence on Sat

OBITUARY.

MRS. LUCY W. wOLCoTT.
Died. in Shoreham, January IL, Mrs. Lucy
Wells Wolcott, wife of Dea. Almon Wocott,
aged so years.
In the passing away of Mrs. Wolcott, the
home has lost most endeared wife and moth
er, the church one of its warmest sympathiz-
ers, and Christ has had a true disciple in all
her profession of faith. For nearly twenty
years her pastor, have often seen her in
tears, anxious for the well-bemg of her be-
loved family, especially during the week OF
prayer, and frequently all these years she has
expressed live sympathy for the welfare OF
the church. Such mothers in Israel are not
accidents, but the effects OF divine grace. And
of all that her companion, her home and
church now love to cherish as to her memory,
as making the noble wife, mother and helper
in church and society that she was, we can
but say. at is all of grace, all of grace" New
er did she seem so joyous and hopeful for her
children as when during the evident nantes
tations OF the Holy Spirits presence. Then
she was burdened for them, and may the good
mothers prayers and anxieties be so many
voices calling them to their Fathers house
and may all her home circle be gathered with
her, an unbroken company. in His realm of no
sin, no sorrow, no death.
"Ohl tor the death of those,
Who sumber in the Lord
oh, be like theirs my last repose-
Like theirs my last reward"

CREAMERY MATTERS.

Editor Register 1T seems as though
Douglas & Sons epistle of week before
last must be very consoling to his pat
rons, although they are little short :;
but with the small amount of butter man
ufactured at their factory, with so good a
demand and perfect satisfaction of quail
ty and uniformity of their goods, it seems
strange they should have the least trou-
BILE in dispOsing of their butter at the top
price. But provided there is shortness,
Douglas q Son are not the losers in this
case, as | understand; for the butter that
is now in market was made by the pound
and the patrons must be content with
what is left after the expense of making
and marketing is deducted. which is at
least six cents pound, which according
to the market for held butter and his
patrons own story provided the butter
is first class) will leave them rather
short of what some of their neighbOrs
have done who have sold their cream
and received their pay monthly. This
plan is a benefit to most farmers,
and good share of them would rath-
err have their pay in advance; at any
rate, farmers in general depend on their
dairy for their running expenses during
the season, as it is the only steady income
they have. When they sell their cream
they do not have to leave the quantity OF
butter for their share to the somewhat
questionable veracity of the butter max
err, but they can know the exact value OF
their product themselves and in that way
test their own milk on the right plan
by testing it every day-for every dairy
man must know that the value of milk
will run more uneven than the quantity.
1t is universally admitted that this is the
only way farmer can patronize fac
tory and get the full and exact benefit OF
his dairy. But after so prosperous yeal
as this has been to Douglas & Son, ac
cording to their story, their patrons may
take courage and hope to realize more
from their diaries the coming season.
