A most unreasonable thing which
occurred in our neighborhood on Mon
day night.-A party was held at Mrs.
Ann Worton's. Only few steps from
there was young lady lying at the
point Of death. 1t is one Of the most
ridiculous things heard of in this
community. 1t shows what respect
those persons who participated in it
had for themselves, especially those
who claim to be Christians and church
members. Instead of visiting the sick
lady and cheering and comforting her
which is their duty as Christians, they
attend parties and worldly pleasure,
hardly needing the danger they are
heedlessiy going into. X.

Fond parents wipe your tears away,
Suppress your heavy signs,
List while your darling says;
dwell in yonder skies.
Weep not for me, on, parents dear,
But to your Saviour look
Twas He who led my spirit here,
My name was in his book.
Then parents come and dwell with me,
On this delightful shore
That you from grief and pain be free,
Shall be my constant prayer
