No Death For the Christian*
Shall we ever quite fully realize the mighty
and joyful truth that there is no death for the
Christian ? In his beautiful tribute to the
quaint cld town of Nuremburg Mr. Longfellow
makes this mention of its peerless artist:
Em,gravil is the incription on the tombstone where
he lies:
Dead he is not, but departed—for the artist never
dies.
But how much grander the thought that ‘Emi-
grav'd' may most fittingly be the inscription on
every Christian’s tombstone!—not dead, but
only gone before to that blessed land where all
is perfect peace and joy,—a land of peerless
beauty, where blossom unfading flowers, and
everlasting fountains flow. Why should we not
give up the use of the word death as applied to
the Christian ?—for death is the alienation of
the soul from God, not the quitting of earth for
heaven. As the late Dr. Bethune has beauti
fully expressed it in his translation of Malan’s
verses :
It is not death to die,
To leave this weary road,
And, midst the brotherhood on high,
To be at home with God:
‘It is not death to close
The eye long dimmed by tears,
And wake in glorious repose
To spend eternal years.’
And how grandly the glorious truth culmina
tes in the last verse :
Jesus, Thou Prince of life,
Thy chosen cannot die;
Like Thee, they conquer in the strife,
To reign with Thee on high !’
Let every Christian take home this truth to
his heart, remembering that if in the twinkling
of an eye a loved one is called away, it is only
to go to those realms of eternal blessedness
whither we shall all go soon. When Paul left
for Rome, to be offered up, his friends fell on
him and wept, not that his death was near, but
that they should see his face no more. It is
thus that the Cristian weeps as he buries his
dead out of sight, not that he cannot have the
beloved one back again—for he would not have
that—but that he shall not see the loved face
again till the hinges of the heavenly gate shall
turn for him; and it will not be long that any
of us shall have to wait for that, and then—
‘From sorrow, toil, and pain,
And sin we shall be free;
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.’
Mrs. Jenks‘s Clyldhood.
[Meadville (Pa)., Index.]
The notorious Mrs. Jenks, who has been testi
fying before the Potter Committee in Washing
ton, lived in this city about twenty-three years
ago. Her mother was a widow, and for a long
time resided in the old house just north of the
Odd Fellow’s Home, on the Waterford turnpike,
not far from Diamond Park. Mrs. Murdock had
been married in Scotland to a man named
Douglass. Mrs. Murdock was deserted by her
husband afrer coming here, and supported her
self by nursing the sick. She was employed in
the family of W. H. Doughty, and is described
by Mrs. Doughty as being a woman of more than
ordinary intelligence. She claimed to be a grad
uate of a medical school at Glasgow, though she
never exhibited its diploma. While here Mrs.
Murdock was very poor and evidently had a
hard struggle with the world. The little girl,
Agnes Douglass Murdock—now Mrs. Jinks —is
distinctly remembered by many of our citizens.
She attended school at the academy in 1855, and
is called to mind by Professor S. P. Bates of
this city, who was then teaching there, as a par
ticularly bright and intelligent girl. Agnes at
that time is described as a very handsome and
fascinating little girl, keen-eyed and sharp-
tongued, slight in build, fair complexioned,
though not a decided blonde. Twenty-three
years ago Mrs. Murdock and Agnes moved to
Jackson, Louisiana.

of large judgments against her for deficiency in
foreclosure suits brought by George S. Diossy.
The mortgages were upon property in Harlem
purchased in 1870 in Miss Claxton’s name by her

set aside upon Miss Claxton’s affidavit that during
the later years of her married life with Mr. Lyon
from whom she secured a divorce in October,
1877, he was in the habit of conducting a large
part of his business in her name, and she was fre
quently called on by him to sign notes, checks,
mortgages, bonds and other instruments, the na
ture of which she did not know or understand,
and in which she had no personal interest, the fact
being that Lyon used her name because he could
not carry on business safely in his own name on
account of his creditors.

terrible weapon into her head, face and body.
The young woman held her hands to her face to
protect it, but they were stabbed through and

in about 125 different places. Her it juries are
of a terribly painful nature, but not fatal. Her
assailant was prompted by jealousy.
A Bloody Hand.
As the Canada Southern train was entering the
transfer boat that runs between Stony Island and
Amherstberg, oue of the lady passengers put her
hand out of I he window, and a few minutes after,
was startled and frightened to find it covered with
blood. The attention of the passengers, and fin.
ally that of the conductor and captain of the boat,
was called to the extraordinary phenomenon.
Search being made, the body of a well-dressed man
was found on top of the car. He had evidently
been on the car since it left Toledo, and was killed
by being struck on the head while the train was
passing under the Toledo tunnel or one of the low
bridges this side of that place. The body was re
moved firom the car^nd carefully searched.
