tain public school. This steady promo
ton to the more responsible positions
indicates the devotion TO her work, the
studious application TO the preparation
for her chosen profession and marks the
ascending grade toward the summit OF
which she was successfully climbing.
Not only did she fill her place in the
school room with fidelity to her duties
and kindness to her pupils. but in the
home she WIS all that could be desired
in the matured judgment and loving
care ind self-sacrificing devotion and
delicate responsibility which of necessity
come to the older Of a group of chile rem
IN a home bereft of father and then of u
mother.
While she had her own battles OF life
to fight she seemed To be giving her life
to others. In their sorrows or sutfeiings
or needs sh. gave the best she had in
every possible way and would not stop
short of this, yet for herself she planned
a respectable economy.

the contributions of admiring and loving
and sorrowing hearts speak in eloquence
beyond the power Of tongue to tell.
That she lived and still lives in our
hearts, these showers or tears gush forth
from the fountain and source of sacred
love as SO many consecrated drops from

From whence came these costly and
both expressive and impressive floral
offerings, and only possible because a
beautiful life has been lived? The only
answer is they came from hearts which
have been blessed by her life and touch
cd into sadness by her death. And
these are the words they speak: She has
done something for me. l want to do
something for her."
Poor Matte is nov walking the flow
cry gardens of Heaven, surrounded with
the ~coronations of the redeemed, looking
upon the beauty Of her dear parents and
the glory of her king.
She was looking forward with great
pleasure to the time when she could be
at home with those most dear to her.
But now all is changed; and oh, how
sudden. So sudden, indeed, that it is
hard to realize that bright and beautiful
Matte is no more; that her sweet voice
is stilled in death; that those bright
eyes are closed in that sleep which knows
no waking.
A young woman OF great promise, for
such she was, has gone to rest--a rest
profound, complete and silent, and when
Byron said, Heaven gives its favorites
early DEATH" he seemed to have spoken
the truth.
