Died:

On the list inst, at the homo of his uncle.
Mr. J. S. Burks near Ivan, Haywood NJ,
youngest child of \. K. and Nancy smith, at
the age of years, 10 months and q days
Little Haywood was left an orphan in the
early years of his infancy, and though depriv-
ed of parental affection and sollcituda, the
greatest of all blessings, he was, nevertheless,
fortunate. his lot being cast among kind rea-
TONS who have indeed faithfully discharged
their duties toward the orphan in their efforts
to be to him all that he had lost; and his APP
probation of such kindness was plOyen by his
devotion to them.
An obedient, affectionatc child, ready
pupil, and possessing happy. sunny nature,
he readily won the hearts of all.
In our shortsightedness we are apt to think
the young life too suddenly closed, its work
unaccompIisfed, and yet we know other than
that; that in the direction of our mighty uni,
verse not one error is ever made, and the re-
moval of the dear little one is but in accord
ancc with the decree of a tender, compassion
ate Father of whom He has said, "Of such is
the kingdom of heaven"

A Matter Of Opinion.

A gentleman was greatly surprised
and pleased the other day at the
reply a lady gave to the question :
do you plant Vick's seeds" Her
answer was: II always plant Vick's
SEEDS in the front yard, but we get
cheap seeds in the back yard, which
know is mistake"
Itlays to plant good seeds, and we
advise our friends who are thinking
of doing anything in this line to send
10 cents for Vicks Floral Guide fol-
