picious circumstances in that city year
ago, was tried before the court. Henry
Smith, the colored doctor who compounded
the medicines which caused Miss Lambert
sons death, was convicted Friday, and
has since been sent to the penitentlary Tor
his crime. The evidence against Bunting
was insufficient to prove his connection

positively that he had never sold Bunting
any abortive or other medicine helped to
clear him \ verdict Of not guilty was
rendered.

Down deaths lonely, shadowy valley
1 shall wander by-and-by:
tbs the road that all must travel,
Spirit, wherefore should st thou sigh?
IT'S the portal all must enter,
Howsoe'er we struggle, turn;
Death is sure to claim his harvest
Ay he is warder stern.
We must in the final rend'ring
Reap whatso'er we have sown;
We must pass the gloomy valley
Stand before THE Great White Throne
We may live our life with others,
Death we each must face alone;
Lo let us live that, in its shadows,
Christ may recognize His own.
Keep our lamps all brightly burning.
With the end always in view;
Knowing that beyond Deaths portal
Christ will fill those lamps anew.
When at last the journeys ended,
When I sleep beneath the sod,
Would of me it may be spoken
HE trusted in God
