Fell Asleep.
(Christian Mirror. J

On Friday the twenty of March,
1875. Mrs. Ellen W., wife of Wood bury S.
Dana.
Mrs. Dana was long known. III many
Important enterprises she has had prolni-
nent place and large influence. Efforts
whose end was some local benefit and
efforts whose end was service elsewhere
had in her wise and constant supporter.
Spending time and energy in such effort
sue wrought her best work.in the church
and in the family. Within these divinely
appointed institutions she found ample
field for the rare powers which were
hers Doubtless these powers were NEST
effective, where they should have been,
| in the family. To this fact they can
fully testify who were privileged to be
of the same household and it belongs to
them to retain the memories of her life
with them sacred, uDsLared by those
without. A goodly heritage indeed
| But one not standing in the intimate
| relations of the family. looking from a
distance, could not fail to zee the gifts
which distinguished Mrs. Dana. Certain
of the Christian apostles were known as
Pillar apostles.". In church aud state
| are men who seem to be, and are, pillars
They do what pillars do, they support
| and they support all the while. They
are always in their place, always doing
their work. Intitutions do not fall, in
/
underneath them. There always have
been women who were pillars. Many i.
woman is the pillar of the family.
| When she falls it tails. There are women
who do not So much originate aud advo-
cate chemes, as support them. These
women are much sought after by the in
veutnrs of enterprises who feel If their en-
terprises can he devolved on them, they
! viii prosper. The gifts which fit for such
sevice may not be brilliant, but they are
useful and essential, they are such sound
| entities rs good judgment, cOnstancy,
| agreeabeness, frIeIdlness. Women
possessing these gifts unite people, do
not estrange them. They take time to
think, do not rashly devote themsel yes
one, support it in season and cut of seas
on. Such womtD in these overactiye
shifting days are beyond all price, such
a woman was Mrs. Dana.
BY nature she was richly gifted, as u
woman she was "nobly plauned,n formed
on large scale, fashioned after large
pattern. She had mental characteristics
that left man. She had these asso-
ciated with chara cteristics distinctly
WON anly. A Divine touch had reached
| al and the contact imparted force to ono
set of characteristics, sw eetness to the
other, so she came to be the rare woman
she was. So was she enabled in much
quietness to do her good, her beautiful
work. In prosecuting it she gave forth
virtue aud increased her own TIE Lord
spoke good concerning her continually,
/ calling her constantly to difficult con-
ditions and to difficult tasks, and She
from strength given proving adequate,
honored her Lord, served her generation,
perfected herself and when the work WAS
! finished she rested from her lahnrs and
was huried amid children, grandchildren

To the Editor of the PRESS:
I wish through Your columns to say
that q few persons are trying to give the
public wrong Impression in regard to
my position in the recent Normal School
dorlnitory controversy. 1t is almost
needless for me 10 say that no one in
Gorham has given more time and money
according TO their means, since the
question Of establishing normal school
here was first agitated, than myself.
Prominent and practical educators
throughout the country differ in opinion
as to the merits of the dormitory system.
Ii has heretofore been every where conced-
ed that people might honestly differ in
their opinions on public questions aud
yet be respected by their opponents, in
stead OF being subjected to the boycott
OF social osrracism.
l think I can and do respect those who
differ from myself, politically or other
wise.
