l HE CARROLL COUNTY TIMES. _— r —— ~~ _ i VOL. XIV. auht ibadelihe. BY SIGNOB MAX. “(Jail she’s the only really beautiful eld woman I ever saw.” The speaker was one of a group of men who stood on the steps of a church one Sunday morning a'few years ago in a fair city which we all know. The group had apparently been discussing die woman whose ap pearance called forth the exclama tion. I followed the direction of their looks and found ample war rant for the emphatic utterance which 1 had overheard. The association of old age with uncommon womanly beauty in one person is iarc enoU'zh to excuse the curiosity that impelled me to learn this woman's history. I will not, therefore, offer any apology for what the i coder, and possibly the lady herself, may regard as an im pertinence. It is a fact that I did lead) the story of her life, stranger though I am in the city that is her home. It is not a thrilling tale.— Theie is not one essentially dra matic incident. Yet it moves me to deeper emotion and stirs within me a loftier admiration than the story of many a life that genius has snatched out of the common for immortality. * * Aunt .Madeline (for so is she called by those who love her) would smile in mild reproof if any one were to say to her, “You are beau tiful"—so many years have come and gone since she gave much thought for herself. Ilers is a two fold beauty, being made up of those singular graces of person which attracted the attention of the group at church on that Sun day morning atid the higher graces of a life that is consecrated to oth ers without flourish or pretense of self-abegnation. I shall try first to tell how she appeared from my own point of view. The narrative proper shall be in the words of the pa tor, to whom 1 am bound for ii, as nearly as I can set them down. The figure is tall and the carriage graceful. She walks like one ac customed to free exercise,. Iler attire is undeniably elegant,.. The least practical observer of such things may see at a glance that it came from the hands of a fashion able maker. 1 determine, there fore, that she is not too poor to gratify her natural woman's taste for daintiness of dress. Her face quite battles my powers of descrip tion. It is the face of sixty years. That I have learned; but when looking into it one does not think of its years. I cannot say that it conforms to any establi-hed stand ard of beauty, having neither a “pretty 1 chin nor the “soulful eyes” of which we hear so much in verbid portraits of beautiful women. Nevertheless I am ready to stake my judgement on the general prop osition that it is one of the love liest faces ever seen out of dreams. The nose, I must say, is of perfect mold: the hair is a pure white mass arranged in a Grecian cod at the back, parted in the middle and falling in fleecy waves over the temples, half covering the earsand forming a truly artistic frame for the never-to-be-forgotten face. She speaks to a young girl at her side, and her smile discloses a a mouth full of natural teeth,whose whiteness time has iu»t touched and whose perfect symmetry is un broken. Iler skin is clear and fresh —an eloquent tribute to right living and a sign of freedom from those vani ties of women on which the for tunes of nostrum makers are built. One cannot doubt that she is an old woman, but her years are years of peace, of purity, of sweet pi<dy, <md of wholesome restraints. Ido not marvel that her face is glm-itied. “Aunt Madeline was one ot two sisters,” said my friend, the pastor, in beginning the recital which I am to reproduce. “Her father was a politician, and an honest man. He loved truth for its own sake, and though lie filled many oiiieo* he died pour, having his motherless daught ers nothing in the way of Antune except the "modest home in which t'i' v were be’n and reared. Made line was 20 and Ethel, her sister, !•> when they wore calle.l to meet the world. A livelihood must be plade for both, and it * was clear enough that only one of them could undertake this dubious task. The Hold Ethol j|.s?ma-<]ly was not t’jnipp-d for it. Madeline alone niu-t rull the heavy ttoue up the hill. ”Vfith what i esohde courage ami simple faith in herself she sei to Work, we who have always kivnyi Ina bn.-, understood. She ma le n » feeble appeal* for help. A few of US gave her counsel from time : time, when she asked it, but tl; ’ 1 was all. She ceased t-> ask even - much long years ago, and I, at lc. have many times been proud to to counseled by h< r; for a wiser woo - an 1 never knew. “After her father’s funeral ex penses were settled there may have been fifty dollars in the house— Madeline saw tint immediate -e tion was imperative. What should she—what could she—do to earn an income? It was not hard to answer the question. In her hap pier and leisure girlhood davs she had moderately developed a faculty for writing children’s stories, some of which had found their way into print. She resolved to make a. serious test of her powers in that direction, aid in the course of a lew weeks, urged on by necessity, she produced a small volume of tales. A publisher was found who undertook to put the volume forth and pay Madeline a fair royalty. The venture was moderately pros perous. Others followed, and after ten years of struggle the hard worked author found herself in possession of an income that was more than sufficient for her own and Ethel’s needs It was about this time that Ethel married.— Madeline was now 30 and unmar ried. She still remains unmarried, and on that la-t hinges the noble devotion and tlic single-heartedness of this woman whose life has been a beautiful and constant exemplifi cation of faith in the dear God whom she serves with such, unos tentatious zeaL “In the early days of her strug gle she loved and promised herself in marriage to Joe Bertram. He loved Madeline, too, in his way, and, I do not doubt, meant to make her happy.„ Joe was in profession a! life-—had made a promising start, and we all thought lie was destined to take a commanding place. But good fellowship was his ruin.— When I look back upon it the swiftness of his descent appalls me. The convivial habit, which at first manifested itself in occasional nights of gaycty, soon became un manageable. Ills business suffered from nogloct. The blear look and blasphemous speech of the drunk ard sneaked into the place of g<d lant and high-minded Joe Bertram, and he must once have been all that to have awakened love in a heart of gold like Madeline’s. To look at her placid face now you would hardly believe there was a time when she would have accepted the martyrdom of tire for Joe Ber tiani’s sake —for hei love's sake; but I tell you that love was long the imperious and dominating pas sion of her life. “I do not suppose tlrat this part of her story is out of the common experience of women; but Made line’s was a love that stopped at nothing short of crime. Not Joe’s degradation quenched if; not her loss of respect for him weakened it; not death itself was powerful enough s o lay it irr the dust- — Through degradation, through pity for his fall, through the black shadow of a shameful death, it mounted, a stca Ifast flame; and it has shone undim med upon her pathway during all of her solitary year§. ( ‘‘She loved Joe then. She loves him now. She will never cease to love him, “But how bravely she has lived 1 While her grief over poor Joe’s early death was sorest Ethel died, The husband who had been tender ly attached to her strung- ly disap peared, and two other children had been left helpless but for Madeline Aunt Madeline. as everybody has called her since that time. She gave them more than a mother’s solicitude and care, and all a moth er’s love. Slit- worked for them, reared them, educated them. Now both are inarmed, an I their chil | dron are dally taught to ask God's blc-smg on the dear s unt who waits, but not in idleness, for the Voice of Mercy to proclaim the end of earthly love and luty. Her home is musical with the romp and laughter of happy children; the house cat purs in sleek content; and the scent of flowers pervades the rooms where p- ace broods and Madeline’s gracious presence reigns.” In the soft summer afternoon she sits and dreams.

Faith raised her head from the pillow and faced the situ ation, like a brave girl of fourteen as she really was. Grandma was sici<, and faiths mother could go to care for the dear old lady, for tv miles away. In the meantime, Faith had her share of the burden to bear. Site remembered how her mother’s hand rested on her shoulder, the evening before, as she said, “I am very sor ry foi yonr disappointment, daugh' ter, but the next thing for each of us is clearly shown. lamtogo to grandma, and you are to help Katie till I come home."’ Faith felt very brave then, but now the mother’s loving eyes and tender voice were forty miles away and she was here with Lucy and Fred, to “make home cheerful for them and for father,” as Mrs. Lati mer had said. Not very cheerful did the girl feel, as she went down stairs, the deserted rooms remind ing her of mother, and the thought more than once entered her mind that it was rather hard to be out of school just now. Cm entering the kitphen, Katie stood by the sink, polishing the fan cot. Faith looked on intently for a few minutes, and then said, “It shines now, Katie; isn’t it done?” “No: I like to see my face in it,” said the girl, rubbing vigorously. What was it that brought Miss Moore’s words to Faith’s mind? “Girls, do you remember that verse in Malachi, ‘He shall sit as a rej finer and purifier of silver?’ ” Shn i emembered how, inner winning way, Miss Moore had told them rhat the refiner of silver watched his work carefully until he could see his image in it; the refining was complete. The same lesson had been taught again in Katie's home ly words. Until His image can be seen! Might it not be possible that this home experience which seemed so hard had something to do with her refining. Might it not be that by caring tenderly for Lucy, being patient with Fred, making home cheerful for father, the traces of “llis image” will become more strongly marked? Faith turned to leave the room with a different expression on her face. It was worth trying for; she would make the attempt. And did she care tenderly for Lucy, was she patient with Fred, did she make home cheerful for father? Perhaps, not always. But the decision was made; her life had the right direction, and often in after years she looked back to this exs perience as tlie time when the help pf thp Father in every day duties began to seem a reality to hpr and His presence her greatest blessing. —Selected. Excessive Heat. A view of the record of sun strokes and other no less fatal re sults of the effect cfhcat in the bars ger cities of the country is well calculated to inspire rural inhabi tants with a sense of the superior safety vs the country. At. 12 a. m on the 21st in New York, the mer cury stood at 90 and had reached 95 at Ip. m. One hundred and eighty deaths for the previous 1 b.oms were reported ut the Bureau <>f vital statistics: 69 from diar rhea, 92 were children under five vears old. There were many cases of sunstroke, and twenty three eases of prostration fiom the effect of heat were reported after 3 p. m.

At S minutes after 8 o clock, on the morning of Thmsday, July 23, surrounded by his family and at tending physicians, General Grant passed quietly away. lli 6 death took place at the cottage at Mt. McGregor, N. Y., to which he was removed some weeks ago to get the benefit of the pure air away from the turmoil of the city. THE RESIDENTS ACTION. We clip the following from the associated press dispatches: Washington, July 23.—Shortly aftsr eight o’clock this morninir the president was informed of the death of General Grant, He im mediately directed that the flag op the white house should he placed at half mast. The lowering of the flag was the first intimation that the citizens of Washington had of the death of the distinguished man, although they had been anticipa ting it throughout Sic night, A few minutes after the white house flag was placed at half mast, the flags on all the public buildings and many private ones were plac ed in like position. Tl;e bells of the city were tolled, and the citi zens who heard them readily rec ognixed their meaning. Business men immediately began draping thei’’ houses with iiiogrning, and rpsideneps tn a similar manner, Jiqwr.d esteem for the I’pCDUCO'! While the bells tolled, Presidpib Cleveland sent the following di*- patch to Mrs. Grant, at Alt. Mc- Gregor: “Accept tliis expression >f my heartfelt sympathy in this hour of your great affliction, Tl'9 people of the nation mourn w!:b you, and would reach, if they could, with kindly comfort the depths of sor- I row, which is yoms alone, and which only the r;ty of God can heal” THE I'RESIDEI-. l’s PROCLAMATION. The following proclamation was afterwards issued* by the presi dent. The president of the United States has just received the sad tidings of the death of that tri- us citizen and exxpresident of the united States, General Ulyses S. Grant, at Mt.

In ma king tliis announcement |o fhp people of the United States, the president is impressed with the magnitude of the public loss of the great military leader who was in the hour of victory magnani mous; amid disaster, serene and self-sustained; who in every station, whether as soldier or as chief mag istrate, twice called to power by his fellow countrymen, trod un swervingly the pathway of duty, undeterrred by doubts, single min ded an straight forward. The entire country has witnessed with deep emotion bis prolonged and patient struggle with a painful diss case, and has watched by his couch of suffering with teaifnl sympathy. The destined end has come at last, ’and his spirit lias returned to the Creator who sent it forth. The great heart of the nation that fol lowed him m hen living, with love ami pride, bows now in sorrow above him dead, tenderly mindful of his virtues, his great patriotic services and of the less Ovyasioned by Ins death, Tn testimony of ress ■poet to the memory of Gen.
