Obituary..

Died at her home in Sanilac, May
9th, 1895, Mrs. Jane White, aged 80
years, 10 months and 2 days. De-
ceased leaves behind her six children
four sons and two daughters, the hus-
band and father having crossed the
river twelve years ago. During her
illness she suffered very much but
now
The long, rough road Is ended,
Her weary feet have pressed
How rough to her weak footsteps
Perhaps we never guessed;
But with the weary journey
She'll be no more distressed,
The face we bend and softly kiss
Bears no impress but that OF bliss.
We gaze at her dear features
Within the casket bound.
Aud think that she Is dwelling,
Where changeess peace Is found,
That partings, change, and doubtless
Her loving heart doth know
And weeping children left alone
Must say goodbye dear mothers gone.
Although it was hard to part with
an atfectionate mother, yet it is com
forting 20 the sorrowing children, &c
know that mother is in Heaven. The
funeral was held from the NJ. p
church, Rev. 5. Windrem officiating
and the remains were laid to rest in
Elmwood cemetery where the relatives
and friends assembled to pay theil
last tribute of love and respect.

modern Instances.

The papers have recently recOrded
the suicide Of three children-two Of
them only nine years old. One little girl
killed herself because of the harsh re-
proaches of her father when he found
that she had appropriated a penny
from some household money, and the
other two children took their lives In
order to spare their mother a poor wild
ow, the burden of their support. All
belonged to the class whose life is more
or less of a struggle from its begin
ming, and probably, therefore, were not
endowed with unusual constituencies.
In commenting upon these incidents,
Kate Fields Washington gives word
Of warning to thoughtless parents who
do not realize the dreadful suffering
children often endure, silently, for some
chance remark, exaggerated either
carelessly or to pint moral. Habitual
inaccuracy Of speech is not taken ac-
count of by children, unlearned in the
ways of this world. A serious, sensi-
tive child naturally believes the letter
of the law, and will brood for weeks
over hints of pecuniary or domestic
trouble which the father and mother
forget ten minutes after they have ut
tered them. The certainty that he Is
powerless to avert misfortune makes 1t
all the more terrible in prospect. Older
people know what 1t Is to "enjoy poor
health and understand the luxury
Of being miserable" hear rumors Of
bankruptcy and warnings Of danger
with tolerable complacency; but chill
dren should be spared this unnecessary
torture. "Childhood'ss happy hour" is
balanced by many an hour Of real dis
tress, and the 5-year-old who announc-
ed In q moment of gloom that this
world isn't any better than an old shan
ty, anyhow" Is not alone among his
contemporaries. The retrospection Of
the old, In which childhood figures as
l period of unceasing pleasure, takes
account Of the gains without the losses,
and the weather of the past Is always
sunshine in the mature memory; so
that children have very little apprecia-
ton or sympathy given to their sor-
rows.

Glucose.

A short article going the rounds of
the press, and recently published In our
columns, states that glucose is the great
est Of all adulterants, and is used for
making cheap candy, sugar, jellies and
syrups. According to "Confectioners
Journal" this Is untrue. Glucose Is
used in some candies, but 1t is not 1.-The
greatest of all adulterants," nor an
adulterant at all. 1t Is simply an in
gredient and does not differ in this re.
spect from molasses, and is just as
harmless. Although the assertions
made in article quoted from distinctly
apply to cheap candies, and have no
reference to the honestly made article
we gladly correct statement which,
1t seems, has no foundation In fact.
