Sing n song softly. tcndcrly. lovingly.
Sing song softly, your loved ones asleep;

Think what that means and your sorrow re-

Near the White Throne and the fair crystal

To the ..housc where the mansions arr. many
and free.
Think OF all this. and your sorrow shall tighten
And lift up your souls an heavenly height:
Tears are for those who go down in the shadow
And never for those who have entered the
light.
And better than marble and white carven let
To mark the lone spo, OF his last long rest
out of his mc,kucss. his patient endurance
Fashion a jewel To wear on the breast.
And-sing song softly. tendcrly. lovingly.
Sing song softly, your loved ones asleep;
Sing song joyfully. gratefully

Mention has been male in these col
umns of the death of Mr.. James f. Reed
on the :Id OF last month. Mr.. Reed was
"a years of age when he died. lie was
great but patient sufferer from terrible
cancer
Everything that skill of physicians
could do was done but the insiduons dis
ease. like vampire, clung closer and
closer, sucking the strength and life from
the wasting frame. Everything that love
of wife and children could do TO alleviate
or lessen his suffering was done. But
naught availed till the Great Physician
came with the sunset of the glorious Sab
bath Day, and laid his healing hand on
the throbbing heart and poor weary face
and-gave His beloved Sleep
A protesting Christian for many years
the years Of his aiiliction drew him closer,
yet closer to his Heavenly father.
lie was very afTectionatc in his family,
and the children will sadly miss the
annual home coming that was so blithe
and gay, when the loving father was
there TO add his welcome 10 that of the
gentle but now sorrowiul mother
Oan | speak word of comfort to the
sorrowing ones All, would that could
know that not all the worlds philosophy
Can make death otheSwifc than what IL is
The sundcring of soul and mortal frame,
And the sunlcring for time. at least. of ties
That seem too dear for sunderiug.
But oh. bcrcaved ones. through thy tears
Read softly what the Prophet tells is here,
And surely il shall make thy heavy grief
Less grieyous to he borne
..Iic hath borne our gricfs" and all our sor-
rows carried.

NEWARK.

The Newark and Berlin base ball clubs
here yesterday which was witnessed by
nearly all Of our people. The umpire de-
cided IT draw Berlin was first at
the bat and closed their inning with two
runs Bowden pitched and Spence caught
for Newark for two innings when Cos
den twirled the ball and Will White back
ed him up in such an effective manner
as to completely rattle the Berlin boys.
They took Tingle out of the box and put
in Zed Henry, who was hatted So hard
that he suddenly took the cramp aud re-
tired TO short stop. Five innings were
played and our boys made great mis-
take in not asking in the start Tor iull
though Berlin had runs 10 Newark's 4.
yet Newark was in the hest trim aud was
rapidly gaining. Tom Trader played II
good game on first base and Sid Powell
played ball AS good as any man on the
field. We understand the Wilton boys
will challenge the Berlin club.
The festival held here by the NJ Il.
Church was success in every particular
The cream was good and an excellent
supper was served. We were glad to see

THE CAREER OF A FARMERS SON WHO
ROSE TO THE OFFICE OF CHIEF MAG
ISTRArE OF PENNSyLvANIA--A
SCHOLAR, LAWYER AND SOL
DER

Ex-Governor Henry Nj. Hoyt died
at Wilkesbarre, Dec. I, surrounded
by his family and circle OF SORROW
ing friends.
Ex-Governor Hoyt was a son of

AT ,he outbreak of the civil war he

The Spring Elections.
WHEN NOMINATIONS MUST BE MADE
UNDER THE NEW BALLOT LAW.

1t must not be forgotten that here
after all city and township elections
will have to be held under the new
Baker Ballot Law, and its require
ments will make some radical changes.
1t has heretofore been the custom
to make these nominations only a
few days before the election. The
new law requires that for all officers
other than National and State officers
Except township and borough) GER
tifes shall be filed with the County
Commissioners AZ days before elect.
ton. The nominations for the city
Offices to be filled at the election to
be held on the third Tuesday in Feb.
ruary must therefore be made pre-.
vIous to the 10th day of January.
In the townships and boroughs the
nominations need not be held as early
as the city nominations, the new law
only requiring that for township and
borough Offices the certificates be
hled with the township and borough
auditors 10 days before election.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1892-12-09

1t is understood that the governor
will devote considerable space in his
message to the next Legislature to a
discussion OF the good and bad
features OF the Baker ballot law. He
is pleased with the voting feature OF
the law and will say SO in his message.
The governor has intimated to a
number Of friends of the act that he
will recommend that certain changes
be made as to the time of certifying
the nominations to the county com
missioners and the date on which the
sheriffs of the various counties shall
issue their election proclamations.

They are still figuring on the vote
in California The latest computa
ton gives the Democratic electors an
average plurality OF a7I.
This makes it probable that while
the highest will have not SIS than
1000, the lowest may fail below the
highest on the Republican ticket and
thus give Harrison one of the cleo
tors.
Fortunately there is nothing de-
pending on these details. If the cleo
ton had been as close as most people
expected, we should not have had it
settled YET.
