behind the stove. Concluding,
we are happy to say that Alex
has become again kind to his
wife. and to have seen them last
night after everything was
Strengthened up. as they sat ont
on the board walk it would have
moved the hardest heart to tender
words and pleasant thoughts.
The moon light lay soft upon the
battlefield and now and then the
bull.frog splashedinto the muddy
creek below and as Alexis arm
stole around Mattie's waist, from
her half parted lips came a muir.
muir like the restful sigh Of a
COW when she lies down TO chew
her cud in the twilight. After
a while they wentiuto the shanty
and slammed the door for the
night, against the cruel world.

In Memoriam.

On Saturday morning, June
Goth, the Angel of Death visited
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Viii.
liam Hannah and took from them
their daughter, Olive, who for
some time had been suffering
from that dreaded disease con-
sumption.
Olive was bright and inter.
esting girl. She was young,
only Is years of age, and had a
bright future before her.
As we looked upon her form
SO composed and still we real
lied that that house had lost q
precious jewel. But she is now
away from sorrow and disap-
pointments and is basking in the
Sunshine Of her Christ whom she
loved. Olive was the sunshine
in her fathers home. Although
she is dead her influence still
lives.
Weep not dear father and
mother your child is in the hands
of God and she is only gone be-
fore, and in short time Won will
meet her again and join with her
in singing praises to him who
died that we might live.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted Saturday evening by Rev.
Murray. who gave a very inter
esting and warning talk to the
young. Mayhis words be guided
by the spirit OF God to the hearts
of young people of Sardis.
A FRIEND.

oh, the West Virginia Hills.
How majestic and how grand.

Is It any wonder, then,
That my heart with rapture thrills,
As I stand once more with loved ones,
On those West Virginia hills 2
CHORUS.

And the friends among the West vir-

Oh, the West Virginia hills.
Where my childhood's hours were
passed;
Where often wandered lonely,
And the future tried to cast
Many are our visions bright,
Which the future ne'er fulfills. .
But how sunny were my day dreams
On those West Virginia hills.
CHORUS,
Oh. the West Virginia hills.
How unchanged they seem to stand.
With their SUBMITS pointed skyward,
To the Great Almighty's land.
Many changes can see,
Which my heart with sadness fills,
But no changes can be noticed
In those West Virginia hills.
CHORUS.
Oh. We West Virginia hills,
l must bid you now adieu
In my home beyond the mountains,
Ishall ever dream Of you;
Inthe evening time of life.
Ifmy Father only wills.
/ shall still behold the visions
ofthose West Virginia hills.

BATTLE IN THE NETHERLANDS.

In the low lands of Clarksburg
along that side of Elk creek
known as Monticello, for many
generations there have lived a
few families whose descendants
have been noted for their war.
like deeds. The following story
is taken from a certain family
history with which the writer
has endeavored to acquaint him
self.
Matte M.-was a pretty
orphan, her father having voted
for his lastpresidentonly short
while previous to the incidents
connected with this narrative,
Matte it might be SAID, however,
was left worse than alone in the
world, for she had a younger
brother to support. This brother
was six feet tall, large of girth
and 1.-the of limb. For a long
while they lived happily togeth-
er, contented with the fact that
the single effolts Of the one were
sufficient for the supEor of both.
But one day adark shadow flop.
ped across the threshold of this
peaceful domicile. 1t was when
Matte confessed to John that
she had atlastconsentedt to marry
Alex, a seemingly noble man of
middle age who had been paying
her attention for some time. John
protested against the marriage.
for he saw his means of support
vanishing from him like the ignis
fatuus and gave his consent only
after promise on the part of
both Alex and Matte that they
would take him to their home and
care for him until he could be
able to earn his first pair of sus-
penders.
So Alex and Matte were mar
ried and true to their promise
they adopted John aud all lived
pleasantly together until Alex
began mistreating Matte. But
in fairness to Alex, will say that
we do not know whether it was
any naturally mean current In
his nature which had remained
dormant waiting omanifestitself
when his love should grow cold
or whether he disliked to see his
hard earnings disappearing SO
constantly in the nav of the
Anaconda that cooled itself. SO
regularly around his kitchen
furniture three times day. But
anyhow it is said that Alex some
times struck his wife and John
concluded to chastise him, SO the
other evening after going up
street and ouckling on his armor
around about two pints of s.brave
drops sailed into his tyrannical
brother-in-law. Now Alex is one
of those changeable voiced gen.
tlemen and his appeals for help
were like a weird concentration
OF sounds and strange ejacula
tons. Matte, however, soon
came to her husbands rescue and
when the case came before His
Honor she like the ever loving
faithful wife testified in Alex.
behalf and he was discharged as
innocent and blameless-cleared
it might be said by the fortunes
of war, while John was tined 81. 50
and besides was barished from
the old fireside. no more to crowd
himself into the corner sea, at
