Obituary.

Fell asleep in Jesus on the morning Of
February rs. 1889, in her 10th year, Caro-
line Maria Waller. Ready to serve God,
and be helpful to all around her, she e1-
celled most in the passive virtues. las
star fixed in the armament Of home" she
shone with mild and gentle light. Loving
all, and beloved by all the children and
the very servants in the household, hers
was the ornament of a meek and quiet
spirit, and the peace of God was reflected
upon her countenance. In the light OF her
example we understand better those beati-
tudes of our Saviour blessed are the
poor in spirit; blessed are the meek; bless
ed are the pure in heart, for they. shall see
God. blessed are the peace. makers, tor
thew shall be called the children of God"
For her, death had lost its painful sting,"'
and having finished her work, she was just
waiting and longing for the Masters call to
rest. The Saviour will say to her, "She
hath done what she could.n Well done,
good and faithful servant; thou hast been
faithful over few things, will make thea
ruler over many things enter thou into
the Joy of thy Lord
It is not death to die,
To leave this weary road,
And midst the brotherhood on high,
To be at home with God.

Everything is on boom here. We
have already reported several new build
iugs and other improvements that are
being made and to this list we must add
that Varennes Church. which not long

happily journeyed homeward with his
first load Of corn, bacon, flour, ETC., the
following hymn, v.z:
"Lord revive Us, Lord revive us,
All our help must come from thee"
We expect that the same individ-
ual when Hettling day comes will change
his tune to something like the following: !:
sshow pity Lord, Oh Lord forgive
Let poor repenting rebel live."
Two of our young gentlemen got per-
mission from their par ents to make trip
BY themselves to remote city. In order
to show off as big as possible with what
small change they had, they decided to
hire turnout and take in the city. They
wandered into harness shop, thinking
it was livery stable. However, they
found a very fine horse here ready
hitched. It was fine turnout, and, after
jewing, i've know not how long, they
hired it for an hour. One of them was
unfolding the lines preparatory to start
ing, when the other discovered that the
hands were smuggling In their sleeves. It
was wax horse. The boys learning the
