THE FAMOUS PREAcHER's pm PORTRAIT OF
OF HER DEATH.
| never write or speak to a woman but
my mind wanders off to one mOdel-tbe
aged one who twenty-four years ego, We
pus away for the resurrection.
About eighty years ago, aud jnst before
their marriage dsy, my father md mother
stood I'D in the meetiDg-bou at SOmer-
| vile, New Jersey, and took upon them the
VOWS of the Christian. Through long life
| of vicissitude my mother lived harmless'y
and usefnlly and came to her end in peace.
No child of want ever came 70 her door ard
was turned empty away. No one came to
her in sorrow but was comforted No one
asked her the way to be saved but sue
pointed him to the cross. When the angel
Of life came to q nsighbor's dwelling she
was there to rejoice at the starting OF an.
other immortal spirit. When the angel OF
death came to that dwelling she was there
| to rc..o the departed for the burial.
We had often heard her, when leading
family prayers In the absence OF my father,
say 80 Lord, l ask not for my children
wealth or honor, but I do ask-tsac tsieayyA- tsiieayA-
may all be sabjects OF thy comforting
grace !" Her eleven children brought into
the kingdom of God, she had but one more
wish, and that was that she might see her
| lOug absent missionary son; ana Wnen tna
ship from China anchored in New YoIk
Harbor, and the long absent one passed
over the threshold OF his paternal home.
she said SNOW, Lord, lettest Thou thy
servant depart in peaoe, for my eyes have
seen thy salvation"
The prayer was soon answered.
| 1t was an autumnal day when we gather
ed from afsr, and found only the house
from which the soul had fed forever. Sae
looked very natural, the hands very much
as whom they were employed in kindness
| for the children. Whatever else We forget,
We never forget the look of mothers hands.
As We stood by the casket, We could not
help but say: "Doesn't she look beauti-
ful?'' 1t was cloudless day when, W b
heavy hearts, we carried her out to the -
resting place. The withered leaves cru
bled under hoof and wheel as we pass
and the sun shone On the Rsritan River
til it looked like fire; but moIo calm a
beautiful and radiant was the setting 81 q
of that aged pilgtim's life No more to
no more tears, no more sickness, no mo
death. Dear mother Beautiful mother!
Sweet is the slumber beneath the sod.
While the pure spirit rests with God."
With such a mother as an example, is it
strange that should always have cherish
ed the most exalted estimate of woman an
womankind?-T. De WITT TALMAGE,
January Ladirs' Home Journal.

His work on earth is done;
With patience he al censure bore,

And Southern h arts are bowed with griet
For him our once loved president.
Bravely he fought and faltered not

WELDING his sword as heroes do
For the land held so dear.
Sleep on, brave soldier, sleep;
Honored shall ho thy name
While veterans round thy grave shall weep
Partakers ofthy fame.

Into the weary world of strife
To battle with its woes.

AIHEN they find how rapidly health

indigestion made my life burden
and came near ending my existence.
For more than four years suffered un-

skeleton, and hardly had strength to

distressed me, and only the most deli

the time mentioned several physicians
treated me without giving relief. Moth

WHO FoUGur THE WAR.

Republicans who fought the war

important at any time, have all

he insisted, in this connection,
that proposition that minority

reason why any Democrat sbould

In 1880 the farmers Of the Unit
ed States shipped to France alone
68,OOO,OOO pounds of pork, and
last year only $1,000 pounds. And
so it runs with other countries and
other farm products. French aud
German embargo did not begin
against our farm products until
our embargo tariff had been kept

until Great Britain is virtually the
