An EXTRAORDINARY LIFE.
Some Real Romance Disclosed Where
Hardly Expected.

The following extracts from the sketch
Of the life Of the late Mrs Jare School
craft Howard are published by special re-
quest.
The article was written by Rev. Moses
D. Hoge, d. D.. and was published in the
Central Presbyterian December 18th. Mrs.
Howard died on the e5ih of November, and
her hist DRY Is indeed an extraordinary
one:
If is sometimes a surprise and delight
TO discover how much Of real romance
has been hidden In the lives cf some peO-
pie whom We were accustomed 10 meet
day by day In the familiar walks OF life,
and who seemed 10 have had as cornmop-
place an existence as the most OF Us until
some sudden revelation disclosed events
OF almost dramatic interest and strange
Vicissitudes or which we never had sus-
picion. In cities, especially. We frequently
pass houses whose inmates have led, AS
far as we know, uneventful lives differing
in no respect from those Of ordinary NOR
tails. and yet whose history, ii known.
would invest them with an interest sur
passing that Of fiction.
All this and more than this rs true Of
one who recently passed away after a
long term Of useful service in this com

who most sincerely mourned her loss, had

others think even his grandparents in

golden grain and vast meadows of sue
