| tie, daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. james
| Usher, departed from its earthly ten
ement, after short sojourn OF nine
years, three months and sixteen days.
Again the dark angel has entered the
home OF Mr. and Mrs James Usher, to
leave another vacant place in the family
circle. Just two weeks after the passing
of Baby Alice, Neva has been summoned
was taken sick, and few days later it
was found she had contracted Scarlet
fever. Complications Of every kind pc
culiar to the disease developed, and as
fast as one thing was overcome, another
would confront. Thus the little form
weakened day by day, while patiently
she bore her suiferings. Her vigorous
constitution resisted vahantly, but the
struggle was unequal and her strength
was exhausted
Neva was a bright, intelligent little
girl. full of animation, and was popular
with the children of the camp, and pet
ted and cherished by the older folks as
well. 1t will be difficult for her little
friends of the past summer to rea ize
that Neva is no more, for her voce was
the happiest and her smile ,he NE siess
that echoed among the flowers.
This added burden of sorrow il bard
for the parents to bear up under, and in
their sad bereavement the LANCE joins
with all their neighbors in extending
sympathy.
Like frosts of autumn withering summer
flowers,
That have been blessing loved in
brighter hours,
Comes the sad message that Neva has
gone before,
To dwellI beyond the river all hope to
cross DER.
Dead. No, there is no death for one SO
pure and fair
In heart and soul; She is happy with
angels there
| As youth is innocent, her Soul il pure
and bright
And It's our hope to meet her, robed in
Heavens white.
We feel that she is waiting to welcome
| US at last,
| As we cross DER the river when life's toll
| is past.
In future we'll Oft kneel by mound OF
Crystal Sod
To commune with Neva and offer pray
ers to God:
Ask to have our footsteps led the Heav-
enly way,
That we may meet and greet her in the
judgement Day
Greet her within the portals where she
now shall stand
Waiting for our coming, with Alice, hand
in hand.

house and at the grave, and she was
laid to rest in the Crystal cemetery in a
grave beside her three sisters last resting

Mr.. Frank Sweet of Carbondale, and also
by friends at Marble and were woven
into wreathes and garlands, and the
people of the camp. had made a pretty

In different countries, the marriageable
age varies greatly. In Austria man"
and woman" are supposed to be capable
OF conducting home of their own from
the ages of fourteen. In GermBny the
man must be at least eighteen years Of
age. In France the man must be eigh-
teen and the woman fifteen; in Belgium
the same ages. In Spain the intended
husband must have passed his fourteenth
year, and the woman her twelfth. In
Hungary, for Roman Catholics, the man
must be fourteen years old and the wo-
man twelve: for Protestants, the man
must be eighteen and the woman fifteen.
In Greece the man must have seen at
least fourteen summers and the woman
twelve. In Portugal boy OF fourteen is
considered marriageable, and woman OF
twelve. In Russia and Saxony they are
a little more sensible, and youth must
refrain from entering into matrimony till
he can count eighteen years, and the
woman till she counts sixteen. In Switz-
erland men from the age of fourteen and
the women from the age of twelve are
allowed to marry. In Turkey any youth
and maid who can walk properly and can
understand the necessary religious SER
vice are allowed to be united for life.-Er
