the earth will give one fearful sbudder
and the door OF the family vault, With
out being unlocked, will burst open. ana
all the graves Of the dead will begin 70
throb and heave like the waves Of the
sea, and the mausoleum Of princes will
fall into the dust, and Ostend and se-
bsstopol and Austerlitz and Gettysburg
stalk forth In the lurid air. and the ship
wrecked rise from the deep, their wet
locks looming above the billow, and all
the land and all the sea become one
moving mass Of life--all generations, all
ages with upturncd countenances--eom
kindled with rapture and others blanched
with despair, but gazing in one direc-
tion, upon one object, and that the throne
Of resurrection.
On that day you will get back your
Christian dead. There is where the COM
fort comes in. They will come up with
the same hand, the same foot and the
same entire body, but with perfect
hand, and q perfect foot, and perfect
body, corruption having become incor-
ruption, mortality having become i'm
mortality. And, oh, the reunioni Oh.
the embrace after 30 long an absencei
Comfort one another with these words.
While / present these thoughts this
morning does 1t not seem that heaven
comes very near to us, as though our
friends, when we thought q great way
Oh, are not in the distance, but close by?
You have sometimes come down to q
river at nightfall, and you have been
surprised how easily you could hear
voices across that river. You shouted
over to the other side of the river, and
they shouted back. It is said that when
George Whitefeld preached in Third
street, Philadelphia, one evening time
his voice was heard clear across to the
New Jersey shore.
When was little while chaplain in
the army, i remember how at eventide
we could easily hear the voices of the
pickets across the Potomac Just when
they were using ordinary tones. And
as we come today and stand by the riv-
or of Jordan that divides us from our
friends who are gone it seems to me we
stand on one bank, and they stand on the
other, and it is only narrow stream.
and our voices go, and their voices come.
Hark! Hushl l hear distinctly what
they say, "These are they who came out
Of great tribulation and had their robes
washed and made white in the blood Of
the Lamb" Still the voice comes across
the water, and / hear, "We hunger no
more: wethirst no more. neither shall
the sun light on us, nor any heat, for the
Lamb whichis in the midst of the throne
leads US to living fountains of water,
and God wipeth away all tears from

There was q shaded chamber,
A silent watching band,
On low couch suffering child
Grasping her mothers hand.
But mid the gasp and struggle
With shuddering lips she cried,
Mother, oh, dearest mother,
Bury me by your side."
Only one wish she uttered
As life was ebbing fast,
"Sleep by my side, dear mother.
And rise with me at last"

Referring 10 the passage Of the bill
by the House of Representatives for
the admission of the Norfolk and
Western Railroad into the District Of
Columbia, the Roanoke World says:
There have been three surveys made
of the proposed route TO Washington.
One is from Berryville, the second
from Front Royal and the third from
Luray. This last is the only one that
has had any special consideration
thus far and is the one that will prob
ably be selected The approximate
length Of this line is seventy
miles, which would make the distance
from Roanoke TO Washington over
the new road 225 miles This is Il saw
ing Of fifty-siN miles over the present
route, via Shenandoah Junction, and
about twenty-five miles by the way
of Lynchburg." The Front Royal

say that the route from that place TO
Washington has definitely been de
cided upon.

Ihe Cancelled Stnnp Business.

The Cancelled stamp BUSINESS
The collection of Cancelled postage
stamps is just now engaging the at
tention of many school children and
Young women. There is a steady
market for such stamps at prices
ranging from $3.50 to So for each
$4,000. Certain firms in this city and
in Chicago make use Of old postage
stamps for decorative purposes, and
they have quietly advertised their
desire for stamps among the school
children. Although it would seem
that the collection of $4,000 stamps
was an interminable job, it is a fact
that one young woman, who is EN-
ploved in wholesale dry goods
house. has made $40 since Thanksgiv
ing by selling cancelled stamps at

Two Residents of This County Suddenly Called
from Time to Eternity. = Other Deaths.
'Tis the twink of an eye. the drsusht OF
breath,
From the blossom of health to the stiffness OF
death.
The truthfulness of these lines OF
William Knox have been strikingly
exemplified during the past week in
this community.
Mrs. Alice Engle, wife OF Mr.. John
H. Engle, died very suddenly last Sat
urday afternoon about four o'clock
at her home near En- giles Switch, this
county. Mrs. Engle had been appa-
rently in her usual health, and in the
morning Dir. Engle went to Harper
Ferry on business, little thinking that
when he returned home few hours
later he would find her dying. About
o'clock a neighbor called on Mrs.
Engle, and shortly afterward she was
seized with severe spell Of coughing
which continued until her death oc-
Cured a half hour later. Her hus-
band returned just about the time
she expired. We are Informed that
her physician attributed her death
to heat disease, bat there is little
doubt that it was in great measure
due to grief over the loss of much
loved son, who died few months ago.
Mrs. Engle, whose maiden name was
Reel, WAS a native of Sharpsburg,
Md, and she was 80 years Of age.
The grief-stricken husband, who was
so devoted to her, and the little boy
who is too young to know what it Is
to lose his mother, have the warm
sympathy of the people of the COM
munity. The funeral service was
held at the house on Monday by Rev.
Charles Ghiselin, and the remains
were inferred in Elmwood Cemetery
Last Friday William Taylor, an
aged man living on Rocky Lane, a
couple of miles south of Shepherds
town, came to town to purchase some
supplies. He walked, as was usual
with him He started TO return to his
home about o'clock in the after
noon. Less than an hour afterward
he was corpse. When about mile
and a-half from town, near the resi-
dence of Mr. Frank Stanley, the old
man became sick. He quietly
stretched himself at full length across
the road, placed his head upon the
bundle he had been carrying, and ev-
identity died in few moments with
out a struggle. \ little later he was
found dead by Mr. Al Hendricks, who
came driving along in his buggy. Mr.
Hendricks placed the body in his bug
gy and brought it to town, where it
was placed in charge of Undertaken
Hoffman. DR.. Butler said the cause
Of death was heart disease. The re
mains were inferred in the graveyard
at Scrabble on Monday. Mr.. Taylor
was u most quiet and unobtrusive
II. an, and was by occupation a shin
gle-maker. He was about "a years
old.
Mr.. Henry H. Keedy, one of the
most prominent lawyers in Hagers-
town, died at his home in that place
last Sunday, after a long illness from
