In Memoriam.

Died, at his home in this county, on Sat
urday evening, September Goth, 1894, aftel
painful illness, Mr.. Scott King, in the 43d
year of his age.
AS autumn's chilling blast causes the
leaves to fall and the lovely summer flowers
to fade, SO Death, the silent messenger, has
again invaded happy home, and with his
icy touch has taken from their midst kind
and devoted husband, u fond and loving
father, an affectionate brother, a true and
steadtast friend. He will be sadly missed
not only by those who were dear to him, but
by all whs knew him, for
"None knew him but to love him,
None named him but to praise"
His mission on earth is ended but his life
has made for him monument which will
outlast the marks and scars of time, and
which will shine in spendor through all the
ages OF eternity. Though quiet and unas
Stunning, he was high aud noble in principle,
cheerful and bright in disposition, kind and
charitable in all his acts, with heart full Of
tenderness and sympathy for the suffering
in whatever sphere. God, in His wise prov
idencc, had seen tit to atiiict him for some
years, and though at times troubled and sad
on account of his i'll health, the strong arm
OF Jesus was his support, and often in con-
versation with him he would speak words
OF encouragement to me, and say, "He doeth
all things we'll" Though he had great
desire to live with those he loved yet death
was robbed OF its terrors by the conscious
ness OF a life spent in the service of God,
and the assurance of"sweet rest in Heaven"
10 those whose hearts are almost break
ing at the thought that he will be numbered
with them no more on earth, that his chair
Will be forever vacant, that his kiss will
never greet them more, and that he has
spoken the last good by, TO them let this
thought brighten the dark and dreary way,
that he is now Il bright and shining angel
Tree from all the sutferings, aches and pains,
the troubles and disappointments OF this
life, and that his cross, which at times was
so hard to bear, has been laid down, and he
now wears beautiful crown.
A large circle OF relatives and friends fol
lowed his remains to Salem church, where
he was laid away to rest until the glad res
direction morn, when husband and wife
shall be reunited when father and children
shall meet in loving embrace, and when
friend shall clasp hand with friend, never
more to part.
1--WE shall reach the summer land,
Some sweet day, by and by;
We shall press the golden strand,
Some 81 Get day, by and by;
Oh the loved ones Watching there,
BY the tree oI life so fair,
Till we come their joy 10 share.
Some sweet day, by and by.
AT the crystal rivers brink,
Some sweet day, by and by;
We snail find each broken link,
Some sweet day, by and by;
Then the star that fading here,
Left our hearts and homes so drear,
We shall see more bright and clear,
Some sweet day, by and by.
Oh, these parting scenes will end,
Some sweet day, by and by;
We shall gather friend with friend,
Some sweet day, by and by;
Then before our Fathers throne,
When the mists and clouds have flown,
We shall know rs we are known,
Some sweet day, by and by"
BY HIS oUsIN.
