MISS MARY FRANK IVY.

Miss Mary Frank Ivy died al
the home of her sister, Mrs. Haz-
zie Graham, Abbeville, Miss,
August 10th, 1903.
She was in the 65th year of her
age, a native Mississippian, a
staunch member of the Presby-
terrain church, and strong Chris
tan character, always foremost
in church work SO long as her
health had permitted. She had
been i'll for SO long her death was
not unexpected, but none the less
sad to her friends and loved ones,
many of whom watched over her
so tenderly, till the last lingering
ray of hope went out.
Most of her life was spent in
the school room. In her earlier
days she figured conspicuously in
the establishment of some of the
best schools and colleges in the
state. She took high rank as a
writer of both prose and poetry,
being a frequent contributor to
the Sunny South" even after
her health had failed. "The
Origin of Indian Summer" which
recently appeared in that journal,
stands foremost among her best
poems.
We like to erect monuments to
the graves of our dead, with fit
ting epitaphs carved thereon, but
the good influence she has left is
far more lasting than any marble
shaft, and in many of the lines
she has written her character can
be read more plainly than could
epitaph delineate. In taking a
retrospective view of her life we
find so many virtues to emulate
that we can but mourn she is no
more. The grave has robbed US
of her body but it cannot blot out
her memory. Death has depriv-
ed US of her counsel but it cannot
lessen her sacred worth, for down
in the depths of our hearts her
name sits enthroned forever.
A fond farewell to one we loved,
Whose home is now beyond the skies.
just owe the hill not far away,
IN a lonely grave her body lies.
We think of her and sometimes wish
That we might call her back again,
But why should we ere grieve for
those,
Whose journeys DER in this world of
sin.
We cherish her kind words and
noble deeds as good seeds sown
down in the heart. God grant
that we may join her where
Owed ones meet to.never part.

Faithful Dad.

We happened in a home the
other night, says the Stevens
County, (Ill.) ReveiIle, and over
the parlor door saw the legend
worked in letters of red, "What
is a home without a mother?
Across the room was another
brief, God bless our homel"
Now, what's the matter with
"God bless our dad?." He gets
up early, lights the fire, boils an
egg, grabs his dinner pail and
wipes off the dew of the dawn
with his boots while many a moth
er is sleeping. He makes the
weekly handout for the butcher,
the grocer, the milk man and the
baker, and his little pile is badly
worn before he has been home an
hour. He stands off the bailiff
and keeps the rent paid up.
II there is a noise during the
night, dad is kicked in the back
and made to go down stairs to find
the burglar and kill him. Mother
darns the socks, but dad bought
the socks in the first place and
the needle and the yarn afterward
Mother does up the fruit; well
dad bought it all, and jars and
sugar cost like the mischief.
Dad buys chickens for the Sun
day dinner, carves them himself
and draws the neck from the ruins
after every one else is served.
"What is a home without a moth
er?' Yes, that is all right, but
what is a home without a father:
Ten chances to one it is a board
ing house, father is under a slat
and the landlady is a widow. Dad.
here's to you! You've got your
faults-you may have lots Of
them-but you're all right, anc
we will miss you when you're
