THE OLD MAN ELOQUENT.
biblical Recorder.)

DR.. J. ID. Hufham, of Henderson,
spent the Sabbath with the Tabernacle
church upon the invitation of pastor
Simms. 1t was a joy TO the people to
have their first pastor with them again,
and his sermons were very refreshing.
From an experience of more than forty
years, he spoke of spiritual things in a
way to do all hearts good. A number of
friends from the Legislature were pres
ent, and to see the meeting of old friends
at the close Of the service was a sight
to do ones heart good. The Doctor was
impressed and pleased with the growth
of the church, and seemed to enjoy
the day as only one can who loves
the Lord, and who meets again with
the yoke-fellows of other days-aad to
the pastor and people it was day of
joy. Two received by letter.

Asheville, N. C.

Few regions have been, are richly
endowed by nature than that famous
section of Western North Carolina
practically termed the "Land OF the
Sky" 1t has a climate so dry and
health-giving that it has become known
the world over as natural sanitarium
for the cure of all troubles of pulmon-
ary nature.
Asheville, the centre of this beauti-
full mountain-homed plateau, is the
highest city cast of Denver, and is o
busy, thriving place of $4,000 inhabi-
tants, with all the moderisms of city
life. The city lies just at the point
where the beautiful Frence Broad and
Swannanoa rivers JOIN their crystal
waters.
Within the city or in its suburbs
many people of wealth haye built beau
tiful and expensive homes, most nota-
BILE among them being the chateau Of
Mr.. George W. Vanderbilt, which with
it's great estate, has cost upwards Of
four million dollars.
Asheyille is an all-the-year sesort,
for the great mountains protect it in
the winter from the cold winds, and
its sumner climate is made delightful
because of its altitude.

INGERsOLL'S oRATORY,
Grafton Delivered Over the Grave by His
Brother, Eben IngeTsoll

Brother, Eben IngersOll.
My friends, l am going to do that
which the dead often promised he
would do for me. The loved and low
ing brother, husband and father, friend,
died where manhood's morning almost
touches noon and while the shadows
were falling toward the west. He had
not passed on life's highway the stone
that marks the highest point, but be-
ing weary for a moment, he lay down
by the wayside, and, using his burden
for a pillow, fell into the dreamless
sleep that kisses down eyelids still.
While yet in love with life and raptur-
ed with the world he passed to silence
and pathetic dust.
Yet, after all, it may be best, just in
the happiest, sunniest hour of all the
voyage, while the eager winds are kiss
ing every sail, to dash against the un-
seen rock and in an instant hear the
pillows roar over a sunken ship. For,
whether in midsea or among the break
ers of the future shore, q wreck must
mark at last the end of each and all.
And every life, no matter if its every
hour is rich with love and every mo-
ment ieweled with JOY, will at its
close become tragedy as sad and deep
and dark as can be woven of the warp
and woof of mystery and death.
This brave and tender man in every
storm of life was oak and rock, but in
the sunshine was vine and flower, He
was the friend of heroic souls. He
climbed the heights and left all super
stitions below, while on his forehead
fell the golden dawning of grander
day. He loved the beautiful and was
color, form and music touched to tears
He sided with the weak and with a
willing hand gave aims. With loyal
heart and with purest hand he faith
fully discharged all public trusts.
He was worshiper Of liberty and q
friend of the oppressed. A thousand
times I have heard him quote the
words, 'For justice all place temple
and all season a summer" He be-
lieved that happiness was the only
good, reason the only torch, justice
the only worshiper, humanity the only
religion and love the priest
He added to the sum of human Joy,
and were everyone for whom he did
some loving service to bring blossom
to his grave he would sleep tonight
beneath a wilderness of flowers. Life
is narrow vale between the narrow
peaks of the two eternities. We strive
in vain to look beyond the heights.
We cry aloud and the only answer
is the echo of our wailing. From the
voiceless lips Of the unreplying dead
there comes no word, but in the might
of death hope sees star and listening
love can hear the rustic of wing. He
who sleeps here, when dying, mistaking
the approach of death for the return Of
health, whispered with his last breath,
II am better now.
Let us believe, in spite Of doubts
and dogmas and tears and fears thai
these dear words are true Of all the
countless dead.
And now to you who have been cho
sen from among the many menhe loved
to do the last sad Office for the dead WI
give his sacred dust.
Speech can not contain our love
There was-there is-no gentler
stronger, manlier man,
