NV Muse statutes YOU With genial smile
She strikes her Tyre, moment 10 beguile
The passing hour, and If her song
Should have the MARBLE OF the dinner gong
Don't laugh At her the while she makes her how
And says she feels little bashful now,
But stll, will try to hlGnder through her song
With this emphatic note, won't be long.
Ten years, How passing short they seem,
How like the panorama OF a dream
And, vet, So shaded with exquisite hucs,
As to exercise the infectious blues,
And make eXultant the departing day,
As when some joys upon the senses play,
AND crown with pleasure the remembered hours
AS sweetest fragrance springs from dying flowers
And yet, they span two lives from shore to shore
And say to Memory, wander where you will
You cannot blot from life their good or ill.,
/ The storms may come, but memory shall live
Willie life shall last, and fragrance give
To swceten all the future, and impart
/ Strength, love and courage to the willing heart.
| Advice is cheap but never ont of place,
| SO while tonight look you in the face,
| Please look in mine. and NAV the glow
! Upon your friends a sunny radiance throw.
| In every life the tide must ebb and flow,
/ In every life there must he rain and snow.
| And of the latter, let me softly say
| You've had five feet or more and every day.
i Then max the most of life along the way
! Keep the good angel near you every day;
/ BE strong In faith and love, nor trouble borrow,
| But gather roses for the coming morrow.
4 May life grow swceter, and the marriage tie
Grow strong and stronger as the years glide by,
/ And unforgetful, keep the good and true
Pure and unsullied, closest, nearest you.
No more! my Muse is maynard and inclined
As some good women are. to Rave her mind
| But one note more and then she asks rcpose;
| And so let her galop to close
Our kindest wishes go with you tonight,
| May no rude hand atfection's chaplet sever
And in this prayer we all unite,
| God bless your home forever.

many friends. She made frequent visits to
her old Vermont homes, to visit among tho
friends and scenes Of other days. Last Oc-
tOber she came here with the remains of her
daughter and grandchildren, and saw her
old friends for the last time. About two
weeks after returning to Iowa she was
taken very i'll. Her sufferngs were severe,
but her mind was clear to the last Mrs.
Eastman was a member for many years, and
at the time of her death, of Bethany church
in this place, and was a sincere and devoted
Christian woman. A BROTHER John Powers
of Woodstock, about eighty-Gve years of age,
survives her.
CUMMINGs.-It has been apparent for sew
eral years that Mr.. Lucius Cummings was
losing strength, but the end came sooner
than most of his friends expected, and he
sank away quietly and painlessly last Thurs
day merning. He and his brother Luman
were the twin children, and the youngest Of
the nine constituting the family of the ven
erable Elisha Cummins. OF these only
two, Amasa and LOrinda Mrs. Bowen)
now survive. Mr.. Cummings long life (he
was born in 1879 was mostly spent within
sight of the farm on which he first saw the
light and he was in many respects an ex-
ellentrepresentative of the sturdy strength,
the industry, the thrift, the intelligence and
the moral worth which have given their
good name and fame to the yeomanry of
New England BY a temperate and we'll
regulated life he preserved the inheritance
of sound constitution which he received
from his parents. BY persistent application
he advanced in his studies beyond the
teachers of the schools which he was per-
mitted to attend, and it was his delight to
wrestle with and solve mathematical prob.
| lens which those who had enjoyed better
| opportunities had attacked in vain. His la
bors upon the farm were well-directed and
untirng, until the infirmties of advancing
years assured him it was his right to rest
! awhile, and, knowing the value of money
! through earning it with hard toll, he hus-
banded his accumulatious with care But,
as his means increased, he added largely to
the comforts and luxuries of his home, and
avoiding the pit of sordidness, permitted
himself more and more full enjoyment of
the luxury of giving. Often with his own
hand, oftener still, perhaps by the hands of
others, has he supplied the wants of the
widow and the fatherless, and he carefully
made provision that after his decease the
needy should have occasion to bless his
memory. Beyond all other legacies his
widow and surviving son, and numerous
kindred, have reason to cherish the precious
heritage they enjoy in the assurance that he
was an honest man, who loved his fellow
men and had child-like trust in God
