II brevity is the soul of wit, one
Of the wittiest speeches on record
was made by woman, says the
Philadelphia Record. Mrs. Briggs
lived in the northern part of Indiana,
a long distance from any village.
Hearing that Rev. Mr.. Goodwin
was to preach in a township some
twenty miles away, she resolved to

it showed that at the close of the
sermon he mentioned the fact to the
congregation and called upon Mrs.

'I booted it."
Then she sat down again.

and loved her dearly. She stood by
me in my Affections. Many times
she has come to me when life was
at Its hardest, in the form of an
angel of mercy. She was a loving
wife and a devoted mother.
She always looked on the bright
side of everything. have often
heard her say that she dreaded to
cross the dark stream of death, but

on her still, white face, she looked
so calm and peaceful, | fancied l

She wanted to get well and visit
me again, but God knew best.
