God, and retained her mind up 10
The last. She said that her mother
and two children had come after
her, and that she saw a host OF an
gels on the other side OF the river,
and that she was going just as soon
as God gave the command She
died about . O'clock p. IN, Satur

her death she wanted to hear the
writer Of this imperfect sketch
preach, and during the service SIZE

hand that they would meet her la.

last days for uncle X. y. Thomp-
son to come and sing and pray
with her. nrs. l.. b. Dean and j.

her. When child NJ. II. Hays

Why the Editor swore.

With a terrible cold in the head,
And eyelids heavy and sore,
An editor sat in his rlckety chair,
And bitterly, earnestly swore.
A youth had dropped in with a
poem,
A man was there with a dun,
And a man had dropped in to tel
him
How the paper ought to be run.
An irate subscriber had told him
His sheet wasn't fit to be read,
While another carefully promises
He will punch the editors head
The foreman was yelling for copy
And the wind whistled in at the
door
And this, with few other reasons
Is why the editor swore.
But the angel that took 1t to heav.
"Rocorded his verdict there:
"1'he jury finds in the present case
Twas a justifiable swear"
