Fell Asleep

on Sunday evening, August Both, 1893, at her
home, ELIZABETH A. JACOBS, youngest
daughter of the late Thomas A. Hays, Sr.
Though death has removed our darling from
our sight, her memory dwelleth with us like a
pleasant dream, and our Sorrowing is chas-
tened and subdued by thoughts of the bright
land beyond. We give her to our Fathers
keeping, sadly, yet trustfully. Her home, her
children, were all in all to her, and as the sable
lied mother the despairing cry that burst from
her children's hearts told that they were smit-
ten to the earth never again to beat with buoy
ancy of hope and joy. But, oh, the blow has
fallen at last, the arrow was struck home.-
She had no longer strength to endure, and
plying angels folding their snowy pinions
around her tender form, bore her away to rest
and peace. Well might affectionate friends
strew flowers upon her grave. They were en-
blems of herself, she loved them in life, let
them sleep with her in death.
Mourn not for the loved one, for now she is
gone
To a home where no sorrow is nigh;
And the voice whose sweet accents so charmed
us below,
Is joining the chorus on high.
She has gone where the sunshine of happines:
regns,
Where the spirit is loosed from its chain;
Where the bright harpS of angels now hail hel
From aI life of affection and pain.
Dear spirit, adieu. from the home thou hast
left,
The smile of affection has fled;
And the halls where thy footsteps so Otter
were heard,
Will no Ion ger re-echo their tread.

A Literary Treat.

DARLINGTON, Aug. 30.-One of the most
charming and successful entertainments ever
given in Darlington was that of Mrs. Lora W.
Vandegrift, of Altoona, Pa, in the hall, Tues
day night. The audience, which comprised
the most cultured people of the neighborhood,
expressed itself as being highly pleased, and
hoped Mrs. Vandegrift would give another of
her inimitable literary treats. There are many
who have certain appreciation of this style
of elocution, but very rarely we find a woman
with such executive ability. She is unmistak-
ably an artist of great merit.
''VanBibber's Rock Lasca," "An Order for
a Portrait and "Flying Jim's Last Leap"
were exceptionally fine.
Her representation of statuary in the Poetry
of Motion could not be eXcelled.
The musical part of the programme was adj
mirably executed by Miss Katharine Forwood,
assisted by the sweet little pianist, Julia
Whiteford. Miss ForwOod's soft, sweet mu-
sic added very much to the effect of the move
ment in Physical Culture.
