Beautiful nights. Bright stars rise on
the altar OF the east and gradually dis
appear In ths west. Fair Luna 240. 900
miles away sheds her mild beams upon

OF ours. What bitter waves break over
heads and shadows gather about hearts
from the time when Luna il seen as adeIi-

Recently the precious immateriaI past
-Spirit-of Mrs. Susanna Bayne, relict OF
the ateCapt. VIC Bayne, was disIodged
rom its habitation Of clay. Mrs. Bayne
was Lille member Ofthe Episcopal church
and the Saviour ofmen through the efficien

oi all her hopes. According to what we
are here, SO shall it be with us hereafter.

Considerable travelling just now. and

When some article Of food il repulsiye
to any ofthe senses il had better be avoid
ell as an article Of diet We read some
time ago of a lady who shuddered when
touching the velvety skin of a peach ;and
we knew n lady in our boyhood days
who would turn pale whenever she in
haied the aroma Of melon. This anti
pathy il so iutense in some persons as to
amount to actual indissyncrasy. For
the benefit Of some of our acquaintance
we wish that antipathy could bedisplay
ed by them at the smell of whiskey and
beer that they would turn pale and faint
even at the sight Of these liquids. How
distressing it is tn see n fellow creature
Use whiskey until it's sudden withdrawal
causes him to see imaginary snakes and
devils oil various sizesi Young men take
our advice and abstain from Intoxicating
drinks. Why do we advise you to do
iou may think that it is not within the
compass of ourd duty to advise you. Well,
it is "A fact that whiskey, beer, etc con-
tains an Intoxicating principle, and it is
just because it contains this principle that
we condemn it and ask you to abstain
from using it. "Wine in a mocker: who
so-ever is deceived thereby is not wise.''
Prov. XIX. i. 1t is not excess that the
wise man pronounced amocker. It's the
intOxicant itself; and it is just by virtue
Of its inebriating quality that it deceives
the unwise soul.
Married and unmarried ladies are bust
ly engaged canning fruit, making pre-
serves and picking various vegetable pro-
ductions.
Fish, principally trout, are caught and
they are packed for winter use
Canneries are in full blast, and cappers
realize $3.50 a day. Messrs Gaffney
Evans and Charles Moore, young men of
Wynne, are expert manipulators Of the
soldering iron.
Merchants continue to do a brisk busi- |
ness. The juvenile wage-earner and the |
man of three score and ten deal with them. |
Mrs. 4. s. Benville is selling at cost as
she cOntemplates retiring to private life |
after thirty years of active mercantile
business at Tall Pine.
Fail is with us. We do not see trees
fresh with beautiful flowers where plays
the wantOn zepyrs tanning with their
ambrosial wings the sweets around.
Their foliage is losing cheorophyl and
soon their bare branches will greet the
eye. Lilies and pinks do not charm with
new sweetness, and the warbling ofbirds
is not heard. Alasi Everything is i'm
perfect, and death and dissolution are
written upon every living thing. De
spair? Mol Mans reason was not given

normal condition always hopes. Evils
which he fears are not objects of hope

vantages, but in it's normal condition 10
