Obituary.
How sad il is to know,

"Deat' comes into the home, and hurts
Hi, sharp end fatal dart
And streams Of sorrow fad bed
Within lhe human heart"
But TIM it must be. All the
human race must bow submissive
ly to the Will of Omnipotence.
The subject of this obituary is
Mary Clark Cupples, daughter of
j. NJ. and Alice Oupples; born
March Is, 1886, and died Nov. 7,
1899, after a brief struggle with
that grim and silent, but none the
less certain death-dealing agent,
paralysis.
"The golden thread was broken,
The spirit took its fight;
From its gloomy earthly prison,
Far above to shine SO bright"
Though, so young in years, Ma.
ry had protested faith in Christ
and joined the church and lived
consistent member for over two
years. The most beautiful trib-
ute that can be paid TO her mem
DRY would sound as fathomless
echo to those who knew her best
Her life was so pure and chaste
she scarcely knew evil. AS a
daughter, she was "Mary, child OF
love" devoted, tender and obedi'
ent. AS q sister and friend
true, self.sacrificing and faithful
twining her sweet christian infu
ence alike around all who knew
her. Her remains were inferred
in Pine Grove Cemetery. Rev
Proctor conducted the funeral
services.
"Their angel child now seems link tina
will bind
Their heart-love more strongly to heaven.
No more should they grieve for their lovec
and their lost
Who lives with the angels on high.
Faith bridges the valley their darling ha
crossed
| And anchored her soul to the throne"
Where angels harps trenbe to the songs o
loved ones gone before,
And It's sweet to think of meeting wher
there's parting nevermore.
A FRIEND.

all right and which he offered to The Cen

Ida Aheborn Weeks, made fun of his liter

tho fall which lay in wait for his vanity.
In due time, however, an acceptance came
from the magazine, accompanied by a
check for $40, and then that man began to
lord it over the woman.
Finally she got mad and declared that
she could write better poetry than he with
one hand tied behind her, and, to prove it,
she indited piece and sent it to The Cen
