sure our friends of our ever abid-
ing esteem for such kindness. We
accept the gifts as we believe they
were intended j. e. from hearts full
of sympathy and goodwill. Your
contributions have lightened our
losses, and it is as ray of light
where ali seemed darkness.
Sweet indeed are the uses of

timent expressed in this gift one

ed, "Love We one another"
Always has God been teaching

see already that stern, selfish in-
dividualism being obliterated by
br,therly love and nobler inspira-
tions. Truly it is ENCOURAGING to
fainting hearts to be thus re,nem-
bered by ones friends and neigh
bors.
We bid you God-speed dear
friends, and sincerely hope that

MRS. GENA sHAFFER.

l 6hO<NPSStON hePPSASs
So We felt when on last Friday morn
ing the sad news was first heard
that Mrs, Gena Shaffer had gone from
our miIst. After few short hours OF
severe physical pain, she was no more
| for she had entered into that sleeI
which knows no waking, so far as our
mortal vision can penetrate, and yet
which promises an awakening lin his
likeness" Had she not many times
dreamed and longed for that awaken
ing?
Though to the friends of earth the
separation is an unspeakable grief, does
not the Inspired poet assert, that spre-
cious in the sight of the Lord is the
death OF his saints? She would have
communed with God in the observ-
ance of the Lords supper few days
hence with her earthly friends by her
side, in an earthly tabernacle. but how
much sweeter, how much more glori-
Gus will the communian be in that
heavenly land, with many loved ones
who have long since gone before and
with many who have one by one made
vacant places in her sympathetic and
loving heart! Where could be found a
more tender, gentle, faithful soul than
Mrs. Shaffer, friend to all, kind and
prayerful entreater with the erring, a
sympathizer with the bereayed and
suffering. an earnest and consecrated
influencer of youth, "a friend to chill
dren;p never absent from any place
where duty called, or help was needed.
How we will miss her.
She leaves behind her one daughter,
Miss Isolee Shatfer, to whom all hearts
go out in sympathy, and sister and
brother, Mrs. s. s. Tompkinsof Colum-
bia and Prof. Cuthbert Shecut, of Ma
rion $ c. Many friends will mourn
her loss, but none need grieve as those
without hope for she had long ago
loved the Saviour supremely, and had
made his honor and glory the chief
end of her life, so that she is now at
aHis right hand where there is fulness
OF JOY and in his presence where are
pleasures, forevermore."
"Oh what do you think the angels say?'
Said the children up in heaven
There's Il dear dear friend coming
home to-day,
She is almost ready to fly away
From the earth we used to live in."
"Far on earth do you hear them weep?"
said the children up Ill heaven,
"For their sweet, kind friend has gone
to sleep,
The shadows fall, and the night-clouds
sweep,
O'ei the earth we used to live in"
"God wanted her here where his little
ones meet"
Said the children up in heaven
"She shall stay with us in the golden
street
She had grown too fair, she had grown
too sweet
For the earth we used to live in"
"Fly with her quickly, 0 angels dear"
Said the children MP in heaven
@See! she is coming: Look there! Look
there! /.

Thursday Nights Fire.

On last Thursday night, between two
and three o'clock, our town was arous-
ed by an alarm of fire, which proved to
be the two-story residence Of Col. Hem
ry Addison, in south Edgefield. The
flames were discovered too late to ar
rest their destructive course, the fami-
ly escaping brrely with their lives,
saving absolutely nothing from the
burning building. Col. Addison feels
assured the fire was the work OF an
incendiary, although he has not all
enemy in the word, so far as we know.
Hollands stables, occupied at the time
by b. l.. Jones, were also burned, but
the horses were saved, almost miracu-
lously. The wind veered just i'll time
to save Mr.. Croker's wagon shops,
which at one time were in imminent
danger. In fact all wooden buildings
ON the opposite side of the street were
saved BY the same circumstance. We
hear there was no insurance on the
stables and only $3.50 on Col. Addison's
property-a mere bagatelle. The sym
pathies of our entire community are
with those who are thus made homeless
and bereft at one fell stroke of their
Lares aud Penates as we'll.
