R4iul A. Irvine, daughter of A. G.
and 11. C. Morton, born in Rockingham
county, North Carolina, June 4th, 1838,
educated at the Sail m Moravian Semi
nary, married W. T. Irvine September
Jsl b, 1861, professed religion September
30tli, 1880, joined the Bethel Presbyterian
church October 24th, 1880, died Septem
ber 14th, 1884. and was buried at Bethel
September 15th, 1884, just twenty-three
years from her bridal day, aged 40 years,
3 months and 10 days.
She was an affectionate daughter, a
tender mother, and all that is compre
hended in the word wilt*. She had a fine
mind, well cultivated and polished. She
was always cheerful and hopeful, friendly
in all the relations of life, and was worthy
to he loved. Fjr a long time sho was
afflicted with a diserfse which chattered
her nerves, made her less calm in dtffi
ouities than sho desired, and finally
terminated her life. Her evidence of
change of heart was clear, yet in all her
Christian life she was too modest, and felt
too much reverence for sacred things, to
make loud protestations of piety.
Some weeks previous to her death she
felt sho was not discharging her whole
religious duty with reference to thd
training of her children, ahd was trying
to amend, but death came too soot to
accomplish her desires.
From Hie nature of her illness she was
prevented fr.-iu testifying as to her feel
ings and hopes with reference to eternity,
but simply expressed no dread of the
coffin and the grave, and went out with
feeble hut trusting heart. Hers was not
the boasting prayer of the righteous
Pharisee, but the penitent petition of the
contrite Publican, who went down justi
fied.
Save her life, she left no token hut
some memoranda of her feelings and
desires, n ade a shot t while alter uniting
with the church. God pity her dis
consolate husband and children, left
without her kindly benedictions, and
answer all her prayers, so feelingly offered
for him and them.

SIfiUTS ON A SOUTH SEA ISLAND.
Teetec Ilouhon, from tho South Sea
Inland, says ; "I uiyselt, before I was
converted to Christianity and bad min

now it requires all my resolution when
the craving comes upon me to resist
knocking down every plump maiden 1

When Fijians want to build a temple or
boat, or at the launching of a canoe,
chiefs have been known to kill several
men for rollers, so that ti e canoe could
be more reodily launched, aud the rollers
were afterward cooked and eaten. There
was one chief who killed a man for the
keel and one for every plank that was
put in. nnd they were eaten as food fur
the carpenters. They used to have an
other custom —thut of murdering men to
wash the deck of tho canoe with fresh
blood, but the missionaries have induced
the natives to coa e the practice. At a
battle once at Moourna the supply of
prisoners was greater than the warriors
could cou-utuc, so they were piled up
between two coeoanut trees, and it took
two days to cook them, 'i be valekaruea
or trunk, was thrown away, as rt would
not keep. lo 1851, sf) bodies were
cooked at one time at Matuena. The
heads, hands and intestines were thrown
away on that occasion, but in times of
great scarcity there i no waste.
“When the bodies are being arranged
for the oven they have a peculiar beating
of tho drum. One of the natives strikes
the water wilh a pole in a manner that is
understood to mean that they have a
hakolo, or oorpso, to eat. When they
get near to shore they begin their war
dance, and the women on shore respond.
When the boat lands the body is drag
ged ashore by a vine attached to tho left
hand. Then it is dragged by two men
to the town, while the rest go in front
brandishing their weapons, throwing
(heir clubs ah ft an I singing their weird
and shrill songs. The body is dragged to
the chief, who directs the chief priest to
offer it to the war god. Then the body
is taken to the oven and carved. The
carving instrument is a slit ham bon, aid
the several members are cut off joint by
joint. A long, deep ga.h is na le down
the abdomen and all around the neck to
the boue, and the head is quickly twist
ed off. It is not often that bodies are
baked whole, hut when it is covered
with a black powder, the body having
been placed in a silling posture. When
it is boiled the flesh is taken from the
bones.
“When I was a hoy, Loti, a chief,
killed hi* wile and ale Iter. Sho went
with him to plant taro, and when the
work was dono he *ent her to gather
wood to make a lire and eollect leaves tu
line the oven with, and to procure a bam

good wiffl willingly obeyed, and when
everything wa* ready he seized, di*em
bowehd her, cooked and ate her, calling
in friends to a**i*t. The woman was lus
equal, an i he had no complaint to make
against Iter.
“Fite heart, the thigh and the arm
