IN MEMORIAM.

Grand, even in thy ruins, ancestra |
church, the soul is thrilled that sees thee as
thou art, recalling what thou vast. Deep
in the past, when this our cherished home
was in its infancy, thy spire majestic rose,
a beacon in the wilderness, and, pointing
heavenward, it p oudly said: "Come unto
me all who are weary, come all who are
laden with the cares of life and with its
sorrows bowed, come and be comforted and
rest. Here are the waters of eternal life,
drink freely and be satisfied. Here are
the body aud the blood Of one who died
that ye might live" How dear to countless
hearts has been her sweet communion, as
sitting at her table we have he ard, or seemed
to hear, the voice of Jesus say, "Yea =,
freely come.n And now our tears are how-
ing for thee, as memory from thy ashes
brings her volumes Of unutterable things.

An Affecting scene In DR.. A. w. Cal

AN Au6CLlnR SCeu0 IN Ut "a W. Odl-

From the Atldnta (Ga.) Journal
Yesterday morning, among the callers at
Dr. A. w. Calhoun's Office, on Marietta
street, we're two ladies, one the grand
mother and the other the mother OF a
bright, chubby little boy, with rosy cheeks
and golden curls, who played about the
room.
A middle-aged gentleman came in and
took a seat near the two ladies. When he
saw the Ii tile boy laughing and romping
about shadow stole over his face.
my little boy is out there IN the car
riage," ne said to the ladies', with faint
toucn Of pride. 81 brought him to let the
doctor see his eyes. The little fellow was
born blind. and not long ago Dr. Calhoun
removed a cataract from each eye and now
he can see His eyes became crossed, how
ever, after the operation, and another will
have TO be performed, | reckon.
Presently DR.. Calhoun came into the
room and asked the gentleman TO bring the
child into his private Office.
The man went cut and came back. In his
arms he held little boy about six or seven
years OF age. The child's face WAS pinched
and colorless; his eyes rolled about as If he
had no control over them; his limbs were
small and delicate. Tue great strong man
had small weight to carry, but the arms
were wound about the little form as if the
burden was the most precious thing that
earth contained.
When the child saw the faces Of so many
strangers he nestled his head upon his
fathers shoulder, and to quiet the chids
fears the man kissed the white forehead and
pale checks again and again.
"Dil his mother come with himm asked
one of the ladies'
'He has no mother, replied the man. with
tears in his eyes, as he drew the child closer
to him; "his mother is dead"
The physician examined the child's eyes,
and in few days tae boy will again be
subjected to a painful operation; and the
little ones sufferings will scarcely equal the
fathers.
