Carinda Houck, wife of Mr. Henry
Houck, after an illness of four weeks,
aged SIS years, II months and ID days.
This announcement records the end
ing of rare woman's life. Natural
ly possessing genial disposition, and
fine social qualities, she was as con-
sequence the much loved object of a
large circle oil friends, and especially
of her family and near relatives. As
a wife she was faithful, considerable.
and gentle, as mother she strove to
guide the steps OF her children in the
way of truth and righteousness. She
was Christian and as a member of
the M. p. church, she had placed her
trust in Jesus, whose help in time of
need is sure. During her illness she
was patient and resigned. She had a
happy home, devoted husband and
children and much to live tor, but
she was not afraid to die; and when
the supreme hour came she was
ready. Peacefully she feel asleep in
Jesus. In the presence of one of the
largest concourses of people ever as
sembled in Harmony church on a
similar occasion, the last tribute of
respect was paid to her earthly re-
mains. Rev. Rush officiated, Mr..
Krepps, funeral director. To the
bereaved husband and children we
extend our greatest sympathy.

Every person has a share in the
destinies of their country; the same
share that the rill has in the rivulet,
and the rivulet in the sea; for should
every little streamlet, tarry at its foun-
tain head, where would be the riverthat
dispenses fertility, the ocean bearing
commerce and wealth upon its never
resting tide' Work for the interests,
welfare, peace and prosperity of your
country; it is your duty; there is
strength in union.
What wife deserves a husband S
generous love. who will not greet him
with smiles of welcome as he returns
from his daily labor. who will not try
to chain him to his home by the
sweet enchantment of acheerful heart,
for there is not one in a thousand
that is SO unfeeling as to Withstand
such an influence and break away
from such home, unless he be be-
meath the level of the brute creation.
How strange it is, in fact it is a
deep mystery, the way the heart of
man turns to one woman out of all
that he's seen in the world, and
makes it easier for him to work seven
years for her, like Jacob did for Rach-
ell, sooner than have any other woman
for the asking; and then occasionally it
occurs, that a fashionable lady is a
rose from which every lover plucks a
leaf, and only the thorns are left for
the future husband.
The man who starts out in the
world for the express purpose of hay
ing good time, as some choose to
call it, will find many persons willing
to assist him as long as finances are
plentiful, but he will be iof few days
and full of trouble, and at the end of
the journey there will be no one to
rise up and call him blessed. There
has not been described the degree of
temptation which a man encounters
almost daily, except in one book and
on one occasion, and that was when
Christ grew weary, and said, Get
thee behind me SATAN RALF.
