Here lie the remains of Mrs. Rachel Jack
son, wife of President Jackson who died the
22nd of December, 1928, aged sixty-one years.
Her face was fair. her person pleasing. her
temper amiable, her heart kind; she delighted
in relieving the wants of her fellow crea-
lures. and cultivated that divine pleasure by
the most liberal and unpretending methods:
to the poor she was a benefactor; to the rich
an example; to the wretched a comforter;
to the prosperous an ornament her piety
went hand in hand with her benevolence, and
she thanked he Creator for being permitted
to do good. A being so gentle and so vir-
tuous SANDER might wound, but could not
dishonor; even Death when he bore her from
the arms of her husband could but transport
her to the bosom OF her God.

they made quite a party as you can

Then they adventured up in the

a visit upon His Royal Highness, Sir
Skyscraper, who was TO be found in a
big city. They found him to be a
bumptious fellow with a fine opinion
of himself and ambitions far greater
than he could realize. for he had never
