EDWIN 7. EvANs.-lt is with
feelings of profound sympathy
and regret that we are called
upon to chronicle the death of
Edwin T. Evans, a relative of
the publisher of this paper, and
a former resident of Martinsburg
where he was an engineer of the
B. q O. for several years. He
left his native home in 1876 and
went South engaging in II ming
passenger engine in Ten nessee
and Arkansas for several years
and where he married a south
ern lady, after which he gave up
railroading and engaged in farm
ing. which occupation he follow
ed at the time of his death. He
died on Nov. %, 1892, of jaun-
dice, at the age of AZ years, &c
months and % days. He leaves
wife and seven children at his
home i'll the South, a bereaved
mother, brother and sister and
many relatives and friends in
Berkeley county, w. Va, and
Washington county, Md. He was
a brave, noble, kind hearted and
exemplary gentleman, and his
untimely death just in the prime
of manhood is one of those sad
and mysterious things only
known to the God of the Uni
verse, who doeth all things for
the best. May he rest in peace.

Talking with God.

At a most eventful period in the
iourneyings of the children of Israel
toward the promised Land, Moses
their leader, talked with God - and
in that intercourse, the details o1
which are not fully revealed TO US, 1t is
said that the Lord spake unto Moses
face to face, as q man speaketh unto
his friend"
Is it possible that in the ordinary
course Of life each individual soul may
thus hold intercourse with Jehovah Z?
Ifthis is possible. then life assumes,
indeed, q serious import. Human
reason may not affirm that this is pos.
sible; human testimony may not give
q certain voice in answer TO this ques'
ton. God alone eau settle the ques'
ton with absolute certainty.
This question has been clearly
answered by Himself. He announces
the great fact that He will dwell In
each soul and hold intercourse with
1t.
The great question then is, "Wha'
are the conditions upon which this
intercorse may be maintained 2" The
Scriptures clearly answer this question:
We are to seek his conpanionship
acsnowlege him as our Sovereign /.
i'd, nifty ourselves with his cause
sever ourselves from ull unholy ALLAN.

il she is called from one task to per-
form another, if the children scatter
their playthings, or leave their school
books in the paror, she indulges in
such petulant scolding that gloom
settles over the whole household. she
would consider it no difficult thing to
die for that household, if 1t were de-
.nanded of her. But to control her
irritable temper is task too great to
demand of her. And so the Eden is
destroyed, and the children grow up
eager to get out of the home where
everything is uncor Portable, and the
parents wonder why all their sacrifi-
ces are so poorly appreciated, why their
ch;ldran for whom they have toiled
and saved seem to care so little about
their home, and why they seemed SO
anxious to seek pleasures elsewhere.

Another trifling incident pleased me.
T was drawing the Saone with steam
tug in the foreground, and the tug was
ready to start with its train OF boats.
The captain however saw me at work,
and came ashore to say he would post
pone his departure little If my sketch
was not yet finished.
