Memorial ServIcea

The Memorial services at the Bap-
fist church, last Sunday were we'll at
tended, the q. a. r., and w. r. c.,
being present in a body. The choir,
Mesdames Stinson and Korns and
Messers Lewis and Strain, furnished
excellent music. Rev. Cox preached
a most appropriate sermon, taking for
his text Psalm. co.: 4. The following
synopsis gives but an imperfect idea
OF the reverend gentleman's thoughts:

After the preacher referred TO the author Of the
psalm, the time when it was written, and the cir
eumstanees, he said that there WAS time when
the public interest OF the nation was in very de-
pora6e state, for the people had largely forsaken
God, but there were faithful few; gnd because

Thoughtful Thoughts.

Nor every sort of industry tends to
wealth.
EVERYBODY can detect an error, but
not a. lie.
A GREAT nature is calm and quiet and
retiring.
BROKEN faith cannot be tied up with
red tape.
1T is the small nature that is inclined
to agitate.
NATURE meant to make woman its
masterpiece.
WHEN trained in the way you should
go-go ahead.
THINK nothing in conduct unimportant
or Indifferent.
DRIVING nails into the sky is rather a
random business.
How MUCH pain the evils have cost US
that have never happened.
SMILES are the higher and better re-
sponses of nature to the emotion of the
soul.
CARRY the radiance of your soul in
your face; let the world have the benefit
Of It.

The Scene at the Last Resting Place at
Mount Vernon.
On Dec 90, 1899, George Washington
was laid in his final resting place, and the
Ulster County Gazette, published at Kings
ton, N. Y, did honor to the great
chief in a write-up of which a copy
is given below The few hundreds of
words that were printed in honor of the
Nations dead meant more at that time
than many columns mean now, and the
mourning borders, poorly printed from
lily cut wooden blocks, were significant
from their width and blackneSs.
WASHINGTON ENTOMBED.
GEORGETOWN, Dec. 2O.-On Wednes-
day last the mortal part of Washington
the Great the father of his country and
the friend of man, was consigned to the
tomb with solemn hOnOrs and funeral
pOmp.
A multitude of persons assembled
from many miles around at Mount
Vernon, the choice abode and late resi-
dence of the illustriOus chief. There
were the groves, the spacious avenues,
the beautiful and sublime scenes, the
noble mansion; but, alas, the august in
habitant was now no more That great
soul was gone His mortal part was
there, indeed, but ah, how affecting!
how awful the spectacle of such worth
and greatness thus to mortal eyes fallen
yes, fallen! fallen!
In the long and lofty pOrtico where
last the hero walked in all his glory,
now lay the shrouded corpse. The
countenance, still composed and serene,
seemed to depress the dignity of the
spirit which lately dwelt in that lifeless
form! Then those who paid the last
sad honors to the benefactor of his
country took an impressive a farewell
view.
On the ornament at the head of the
coffin was the inscription:
"Surge ad Judcium;"
about the middle of the coffin,
"Gloria Deo,"
and on the silver plate,

When the procession had arrived at
the bottom of the elevated lawn, on the

infantry marched toward the Mount, and
formed their lines-the clergy. Masonic

An English Estimate of Washington.

No nobler figure ever stood in the fore
front of nations life. Washington was
grave and courteous in address; his
manners were simple and unpretending:
his silence and the serene calmness OF
his temper spoke of a perfect self-mas-
terry; but there was little in his outer
bearing to reveal the grandeur of soul
which lifts his figure, with all the simple
majesty of an ancient statue, out Of the
smaller passions, the meaner impulses of
