The modern custom of employing
extravagant eulogy in obituary notices
originated in aD improper conception ol
, the maxim: “Say nothiog but good
of the dead.”
A brief, truthful presentation of the
msoy .virtues manifested in his life is
all that is required for a just tribute to
the memory of the late OLIVER
PORTER DANIEL.
He was born io Greene county, Ga ,
on 11th of April, 1821, and died, sud
denly, within a short distance of the
place of his birth, on 6th of March,
1882.
Following the esatnple of his faihar
who was “a gentleman of the old
school," owning a large landed estate
aod many stares—he preferred the in
dependence of a planter's life to tho
more exacting luties of a profession.—
Ho resided a few years in Greenesboro’,
but, (true to his early tastes and trail
ing, he longed for the unrestrained
freedom, the Hocks and herds, the
green Gelds, and the pleasant, uore
!#§ined intercourse with kind neigh
bors, he had enjoyed so much at his
old country home. Before leaving
Greenesboro’, Providence kindly gave
him a Christian helpmeet, in the per*
son of Miss Victoria Cone, the only
daughter of the late IJon. F. 11. Cone.
She was, from the day of their -mar
riage, a helpmeet indeed to him,
“doubling his joys and his cares divid
ing." Guided by her Gne taste, the
old-fashioned house, by remodeling and
additions, was soon transformed into
an inviting, lovely home, within which
was dispensed a generous hospitality,
that ouce enjoyed, can never be for
gotten.
Returning from the Confederate
artny, which he had entered in 1861.
ns Captain of a company composed of
the brave and noble sons of his native
oounty, he repaired to that dearest spot
00 earth to him, where he and his de
bited wile, happy in each others love,
gathered what they could from the
wreck of his large fortune, and again
with cordial welcome, open hearts and
lavish hands, received and entertained
’ their many friends.
The daily walk and conversation of
bis pious life could not fail to have its
influence on bis mind and heart. Aided
by a few neighbors, hut mainly with
bis ! own means, he built, in a lovely
grove, near his home, the beautiful
little church, “Oakland." In answer,
uouh less to the prayers of his wife, he
j>Vessed conversion in 1877, became
yVte’nn that church and was sub
fluently ordained a ruling elder.—
From that time, until his death, he de
T-rted himself, in great, humility and
earnestness to the service of his Maker,
lookiag'Carefully after the interests,and
responding cheerfully and liberally to
the demands ef the loved little church.
He was deeply interested in the meet''
ings of Presbytery, and enjoyed these
asloniy the consecrated Christian can.
••••scorn early manhood, indeed from
/* yymth, he had the respect and con
£3e*ce of his fellow men, and discharg
ed all the duties of citizenship, faith
fully, intelligently aud conscientiously.
Seeking no official position, his UDi
form kindness and courtesy were but
spontaneous expression of the
promptings of a sincere and noble
heart. Genial, frank, free from all
duplicity, generous, honest, honorable,
05f manly and true, he was a favorite
wit! all classes, while his broad Chris
nr.' charity and true benevolence en
leared him to those who knew him
best
But it was around his own tirade
and within the hallowed precinct! of!
the homo cifcle that the excellence of
his character shone forth most contpi
cuously. The kindness of his hi>art
beaming in his countenance, the cheer- \
fulness of his spirit displaying itself in 1
his bright, entertaining and oftentimes
uieriy conversation, dispelled all that
tended to gloom or depression, while I
the genuine sincerity of his natureland 1
the thoughtful, tender consideration I
for the pleasure and comfort of otters, 1
made his a bright and happy hftne. j
From this home, so attractive and so
dear —from the wife, so devoted,' so
true, so fondly loved—he passed 6ud„
denly away and sank into his final re:t
as calmly, as peacefully, as the innocent
babe falls on sleep.
His loss falls heavily upon those
among whom he lived, and is kceuly
felt by hosts of friends throughout the
State. But in the heart of the devot
ed wife, there is ‘‘an aching void the
world can never fill.” Her faith will
sustain her; her trust will bring resig
nation, and ere long there will be a
happy reunion in that glorious Heav
enly home, where there shall be no
parting. J. A. B.
IX lIFIIOItiATI,
MRS. HATTIE HUTCHISON,
wife of Mr. Tollie S. Hutchison, who
departed this life January 19th, 1882.
Through an inscrutable allotment of
the Divine providence, 6he was sub
jected in her childhood years to the
discipline of conflict and trial, her
father Lawrence Hutchison, having
died away from home, battling in the
defence of his country’s freedom, leav
ing her a bcljaigss child, tho c re and
solicitude of a widowed mother, in
the opening years ol her girlhood she
chose the Lord to be her God, dedicate
ed herself to His service, and realized
the fullness of the promise, ‘ they that
seek me early shall God me. 11
The unfoldings of her life gave evi
dence of capacities for great usefulness,
which had already begun to be ac
knowledged, and were inspiring still
greater hopes in the minds of her
friends, when lo ! in the fullness and
flush of womanhood, insidious disease
laid hold upon her strong and beautiful
form, and in two short weeks
“She in a sacred calm resigned her breath
And as her eyelids closed she smiled in
death.”
She was untiring in her attentions
to her devoted husband, who had been
lingering between life and death for a
long time, until borne from his bed
side, with a fresh impressed kiss upon
his sunken cheek, never again to look
upon his pale ar.d wasted form.
At a late meeting of the Sunday
School at Walker’s Church, of which
she had long been a faithful member,
the following preamble and resolutions
were adopted.
Whrueas, It has been the good
pleasure of our Heavenly Father, since
our suspension, to remove from our
midst our beloved sister Hutchison,
thus demonstrating the faet that “death
loves a shining mark,” we feel that tho
Church has lost one of its most promis
ing members, the Sunday School one
of its most earnest, active and success
ful workers, and society one of its
brightest ornaments. Pure in heart,
blameless in life and resigned in death,
we feel quite sure that her beautiful
spirit is now at rest in that land “be
yond tho sunset’s radiant glow." While
our bereavement as a Sunday School is
great, and the sorrow that weighs us
down is heavy, it is not comparable to
that desolation of heart which the hus
band and mother of our deceased sister
have experienced, and hence we tender
them our sympathy and offer up our
prayers in this their sad affliction :
Resolved, 1 That a page of our roll
book be left blank, with her name, age
and date of death inscribed thereon.
ltisolved, 2 That a copy of this
Memorials with preamblo and resolu
tions be furnished each the husband
and mother of our deceased sister, and
that the Greenesboro’ Herald and
Geo:gia Home Journal be furnished a
copy with request to publish the same,

Old Fashioned Mother.
Thank God, some of us have an
old fashioned mother. Not a wo
man of the period, enameled and
painted, with her great chignon,
her curls and bustle, whose white,
jeweled hands uever felt the clasp
of baby fingers; but a dear old
fashioned, swoet voiced mothet,
with eyes, in whose clear depth the
love light shone, and brown hair
ljust threaded with silver, lying
smooth upon her faded cheek.—
Those dear hands, worn with toil,
gently guided our tottering step 9
in childhood, and smoothed our
pillow in sickness, ever reaching
out to us in yearning tenderness.
Blessed is the memory ofanold
fashioned mother. It floats to us
now like the beautiful perfume
from some wooded blossoms.
The music of other voices may
bo lost, but the entrancing memory
of hers will echo in our souls for
ever. Other faces may fade away
and be forgotten, but hers will
shine on. When in the fitful pauses
of busy life, our feet wander back
to the old homestead, and crossing
the well worn threshold, stand once
more in the room so hallowed by
her presence, how the feeling of
childish innocence ami dependence
comes over us, and we kneel down
in the molten sunshine streaming
through the open window—just
where, long years ago, we knelt by
our mother's knee, lisping, “Our
Futber.” How many times, when
the tempter lured us on, has the
memory of those sacred hours,.of
that mother’s words and faith ami
prayers, saved us from plunging
into the deep abyss of sin Years
have filled great drifts between her
and us, but they have not hidden
from our sight the glory of her
pure, unselfish love.— [Ex.
Words lo Young
Senator Bayard in a recent let
ter to the Christian Union, on
“success in public life," writes
some golden words for young men.
“Success,” he says, “in obtaining
official place aud political power,
suecesss in gaining wealth or fame
or that notoriety that some times
passes for fame, may all be achiev
ed by the sacrifice of every princi
pie that keeps life sweet, and at
the cost of manly self respect, sim
ple truth, modesty and personal in
tegrity. We are not without ex
amples of such ‘success,’ which has
caused many worthy men to feel
that ‘the post of honor is the pri-<
vate station.’ ”
Young men, in ordinary politics,
too often strart with the idea ob
tained from examples that unscru
pulous methods and trickery are
the foundation of a reputation for
shrowdness and capability for sue
cessful political life. Wo have
known men of long experience in
politics, in their ordinary life al
most models for integrity and mor*
als, who the moment|they step over
the dividing line between private
and public concerns abandon the
rule governing them in one direc
tion and go as far as the unblush
iu" rascal in tho other in coante
nancing bad means to accomplish
political ends. These men will at
tend prayer meetings and pray
unctuously to be delivered from sin
and temptation, and go from thence
to the political caucus and with a
smile cbildlik and bland, encourage
the practices which lead to the
characterization of party politics as
“a dirty mess.”
T. X (To.—This
great firm, whose senior was for many years
the foremost merchant of the world, is

Dimensions of Heaven.
The following calculation, based !
on a text of Revelations, is both
curious and interesting. It is co
pied from the Charlottsville Jeffer
sonian, ami will suggest thoughts
for those who think: “Revelation,!
xxi chapter, 16th verse: ‘And he
measured the city with a reed,j
twelve thousand furlongs. The •
length and breadth and height are
equal.’ ”
“Twelve thousand furlongs—7,-
920,00(1 feet, which being cubed is
943.088,000,000.000,000,000,000
000, cubic feet, and half of which
we will reserve for the throne of
God and the court of Heaven, half
the balance for streets, and remain
der divided by 4,096, the cubical
feet in the room, sixteen feet
square and sixteen feet high, will
be 30,843.750,000,000 rooms.”
“We will now suppose the world
always did and always will contain
900,000,000 of inhabitants, and a
generation will last thirty three
and a third years —2,700,000,000,-
000 persons. Then suppose there
were 11,230 such worlds equal to
this in number of inhabitants and
duration of years—then there would
boa room 16 leet long, 16 feet
wide and 1C feet high for each
person, and yet there would be
room. [Ex,
A Youth who Jlissrd a
Fortune.
[Virginia (Nov.) Chronicle.]
A tired looking yonr.g man sat
in a C street saloon yesterday with
his elbow resting on a beer table
and his chin in his hand. lie
gazed moodily through his tobacco
smoke and Jager laden %awdust.
“Hullo,” cried a friend, ‘what’s
wrong with you, Bob? You look
blue.’
‘l’ve been thinking,’ said the
third and melancholy young man,
‘how different my life would have
been if I’d been horn with a tail.’
* With a lail ?’
‘Yes, with a tail. If it had been
my luck to have a tail I’d boen
rolling in wealth tm-day instead of
sitting here half tired to death
with hard work.’
‘But how in the name of zoology
would a tail help you out? t asked
the friend, in amazement.
‘Why, can't you see? Whenev
er I needed money all I’d have to
do would be to go into a cage or
onto a .stage and exhibit rnyself.—
A man with a tail would paralyze
the public and sot all the science
sharps wild. Do you catch onto
the tail ?”
*1 do,’ said the friend respectfuL
ly, ’and I wish to goodness I had
ODe myself, see’n the way you put
it. Will you have a glass of beer?’
‘I will,’ replied the tailloss young
man, in a gloomy voice.
Wanted a Pool.
A New Yorker, who had busi
ness in one of the mountain villages
the other day, was followed to tho
depot, when ready to take the train
by a native, who confidentially in
qnired ;
“Are you an undertaker?”
“Oh, no.”
“Didn't know but ’you was on
undertaker looking for an opening
here, and I’d like to pool with you.
I own the graveyard here, and we
could run the business to suit our
selves. Are you a doctor?”
“No.”
“Didn’t know but you was. I’ve
got the best place in town for a
drug store, and I’d furnish the
medicines and you do the doctor
ing, and we’d pool. Maybe you
are a lawyer ?”
“No, my friend.”
“I thought if you was, we could
fix it all right, one of my brothers
bcin<* the Justice of the Peace and
the other the Constable. I’d be
the silent partner and sue every
man in town to make business.—
Like enough you are a preacher?’
“ Wrong again.”
“Well, l'tn sorry. I’ve got a
mortgage on the best church build
ing here, and if you was only the
right kind of a preacher, we'd pool
in, and in less’n three months we’d
have the dead wood on every soul
worth saving!” [Ex.
An honest farmer’s attention
was called the other day to a cotton
chopper, a recent invention for
thining out the rows. After stu
dying it for a while ha was asked
his opinion of it. Spitting out a
mouthful of tobacco juice, he sen
tentiously remarked; “Ef it was
fixed so as it would cut down all
the cotton and then plant con in
the drills, it would be one of the
darndest best things this country
I has ever seed.” And he walked
off, leaving the profound conviction
in the minds of hearers that ho was
about right—[Ex.
