Words fail me in which TO express
my profound and hearty appreciation
of Mrs Alallory's most wonderful
character. She has had sorrows be-
yOnd the lot Of most women, but she
has borne them brayely and well. She
has been the mother Of twelve chill
dron. Left widow in early life, she
with rare courage, and indomitable
spirit assumed her heavy responsible
tiles. one by one she has seen her
dear ones laid away, never com
planning. and never replning, but with
a firm and lasting trust in Him who
doeth all things well.

lady Her black eyes still sparkle with
the fires Of youth; she is MS quick at
rcpartee, and can appreciate joke

never dcpresses one with list of her
ailments-an alas she has many,
and suffers much from pain and
woakncss-hu ever putting self
aside, che enters into the aitalrs ana
troubles OF others, with a quick and
hearty sympathy
All honor to our deer friend Mrs

pilgrim mothers; brave, indomtable
and heroic. Feeble as she IL, and con-
fined to her bed, she Is still IA mo
always has been. the mistress Of nor
household. and such she will continue
20 be until the end She Is tenderly
cared for ny two Of her devoted chi

ccrtury mark. This tribute to No" IN
ostimable worth and eNcellerae OF
character, ftcble though 1t ", 'lll
touch responsive chord In the hoartF
of her many admirng and loving
