It is stated by intimate friends and neighbors that everything was done for the comfort and pleasure of this patient and sweet woman that the science or medicine and attention of trained nurses could give, The same attention was given to a son. bright. and handsome youth who for F years fingered with consump- ton.
 You say that this husband and father only performed his duty to wife and son. but I ask do we all do that? Liberal ity-I am glad that I do not envy the CTS of wealth, but I commend them, and thank them for the great good that they are doing with their riches. The rich like the poor get sick. and suffer, and have their troubles, and it is these things that bring them more in sympathy with needy and suffering humanity. If we only knew the world as we should, we would find that it is largely made up with kind and liberal people. Just yesterday gentle man who was only few years ago threatened with consumption, but now hale and hearty, made most liberal con- tribution to the camp over the mountain for those afflicted with this fearful tuber- culosis. and he is not a rich man. My friends I thought to write these lines that l might remind you, and be the means of getting some of you to be kind and liberal while you yet have the oppor- tunity. It will not last always.
