OBITUARY.

Deacon ]. G. Walker died at his home
In Brooksville April s, after a lingering
illness, aged ssventy-six years, two
mont BIS and twenty days.
For many years bis health had been
delicate, SO as to require care against
exposure and fatigue. About three years
ago he suffered an attack OF bowel iu-
fiammation, which so reduced his strength
that after q partial recovery he had only
been able to do little light work, plan
and direct bis affairs. The disease seemed
to gain in power so that the aid and skill
OF the best physicians could not check
and control 1t.
He was patient and accomplishing,
trusting in his Heavenly Father, who
doeth all things well. His mind was clear
until few hours before his death. His
wife and his daughter, Miss Emma j.,
have taken care OF him through the win
ter. His con, j. William Walker and his
wife, OF Portsmouth, N. H., reached the
old home Saturday.
Funeral services were held at the house
Sunday forenoon, conducted by Rev. MIR.
Harwood, OF Binehili.
Interment was on the sunny slope in
front OF the Congregational church, Of
which he and all his family were mem
bers.
Mr.. Walker Was good citizen, q kind
husband and father, and will be greatly
missed.

love" is the expression coined for
this bit Of romanticism that, like
most ro~manticisms, is decidedly false

We have no time for either eternal re.

springtime of life; in maturity it
pales, in the most fortunate cases,
into a beautiful friendship, into loyal

The Home Of Cornelia Moran.
Never, in all it's history, was the
proud and opulent city of New York
more glad and gay than in the bright
spring days Of Seventeen-Hundred-
and Ninety-One. 1t had put out Of
sight every trace of British rule and
occupancy, all It's homes had been re-
stored and r~e-furnished, and it's sacred
places re-consecrated and adorned.
The skies of Italy we're not bluer than

Il forget not. my friend. My Joris
sees not me, and I will not see him"
Then the two old men were silent,
but their eyes were fixed on the youth
and maiden, who we're slowly advanc.
ing toward them.
She might have stepped out Of the
folded leaves Of q rosebud, SO lovely
was her face, framed in its dark curls.
Her dress was Of some soft. green ma
terial; and she carried in her hand a
bunch Of danodils. She was small,
but exQuisitely formed. and she
walked with f~earlessness and distinc.
tiOn.
OF all this charming womanhood the
young man at her side was profoundly
conscious. A tall, sunbrowned, mill
t~ary-looking young man, as handsome
as a Greek god. He was also very
finely dressed. in the best and highest
); and he wore his sword as II it
a part of himself. Indeed, all
his movements were full of confidence
and ease; and yet it was the vivacity,
vitality. and ready response of his
face that was most attractive.
His wonderful eyes were bent upon
the maid at his side; he saw no other
earthly thing. With a respectful Gag
erness, full of admiration, he talked
to her; and she answered his words

that might have moved mountains.
They passed the two old men without
any consciousness of their presence,
and Van Heemskirk smiled, and then
sighed. and then said softly

happiness! It is a benediction to have
seen 1t! shall not reprove Joris at
this time. But now l must go back

When their eyes turned to the
Morn house the vision Of youth and
had dissolved. Van Heems-
