The flowers Of eighteen summers had shed
their loneliness and fragrance along her
pathway while she grew to attractive young
w~omanhood. To know her was to love and
admire her. She was OF finer mould and
more mature mind than most girls OF her
age. Study was her chief delight. and she
had roved farther and gathered more honey
in the realm Of literature thar many older
minds have done. Her aim was to prepare
herself for some noble calling for the help

upon her vitality for nearly two years, yet
no one expected that the ravages of quick
consumption would 80 soon take her from
u.s.. Her death was most triumphant. She
had q message for each Of the dear family
80 sorely afflicted. She was not afraid to
which to her was very bright" She was
not alone for her Lord was ''just before"
her. her clear memory recalled passage
after passage Of Scripture. She talked
when she could not see and 1t would seem
until her feet touched the other shore. Her
gentle spirit was released without q strug-
gle. Her remains were robed in white and
placed in o beautiful white casket covered
with Hastily arranged flowers, q token Of
the esteem with which she was held In re-
membrance. All who looked upon that
peaceful scene, so much in harmony with
the pure life tina had been lived ont, could
but feel that there Is more OF heaven than
earth in such a life and death as hers.
Frances was the eldest Of FIVE children,
three girls and two boys. Georgiana, the
second daughter, has but a little time to
survive her sister. The doubly stricken
family have the sympathy Of a large circle
Of friends.
The farmer, the mechanic and the bicycle
rider are liable to unexpected cuts and
bruises. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve is
the best thing to keep on hand. 1t heals
quickly, and is q well-known cure for piles.
