The wedding breakfast was all pre

bought mo a dozen linen cloths for wip

she said. How little I realized that

many a time since. Mark had come the
night before, and now Helen came in
with her stiff silk and her queenly bear

and the boor was nearly at hand. Then

I only remembered this of that shadowy
service: “Remember, my dear child,

We retched home at last; and Mark’s
sister was thereto receive us. *^he wak
twice my age and regarded Mark as a
little above any one else. - We went all
over the little.bouse';.out in the garden,
and gang fcpd dreamed apd talked like

found us in the arbor, the moonlight

cd land; life was love. Whs* feared we
of trouble? it had not touched us.
Tlie next day Mark went to bis office,
saying, aa be kisssed roe good-bye, “Let
Martha see to the ordering of-the dinner;
just rest;" as if 1 was tired. But I re
solved to surprise lifah.' I would pre
pare the desert. Had I npt seen mother
make such delicato, puddings of snow
with a delicious crust, tlie color of am
lier? Had I not made myself a chocolate
hlanc mong? To beifofo, mother stood
by and told me everything to put in if;
but it was nothing to do. -8o I went to
my piano, uiy very own, which had
ltceu sent from the old home. Tliat
brought up tlie familiar room, and I cried
a little to think of the new life before
me. Then I liegan to pipy. I was pas
sionately fond of music, and my home
sickness was forgotten. I had been
playing some time when I thought of
dinner. There was only an hour. Mar
tha had been ont hi the kitchen all the
morning. She with Chioe, the colored
cook, were about the dinner. My prOj^ baud,
ositiou to prepare the desert seemed to
strike them oddly, but I went bravely to
work, I thought I would make a irplt
pudding. We often had them at home
1 knew Mark enjoyed them. I got the*
flour, the butter and salt, and made
dough with milk and water, and Un
rolled it Into little cakes and spread tpl
peaches. I;told Chioe they were to be
boiled dim-quarters of an boor. They
didn't look, just right,' but I thought
boiling wouhl remedy every defect. The
dinner passed off pleasantly. Mark hod
had a busy day- But.when the dWfrf

tnlliar with the conduct of a home. Many
a dinner was ruined. Mark, like bis
namesake of old, became an apostle til
patience. The only wonder is that he
did not acquire a settled dys]>cp8ia. I
was discouraged, and wept, and then
went at it again. I thought I never
should be able to prepare a well-appoint

The next six months of my married

Powoll’n modesty, have ; prevented
the public from gaining much knowl

JMr. Powell devoted hi® life to toe
of i toe enterprise. In toe
work,- he embraced everything eon*
iucive -to the improvement of the
immunity. Perhaps the best tribute
toihis memory would be toe results of
iris management of bis company-—its
past profits, present condition and fu
ture prospects, and toe fine corps ot
employees living in comfort and con
tentment at High Shoals. Our pride

maintained amongst them should be

are indebted for suoh auxiliaries..

Ppwell, with three associates, pur-
Bhascd'toe property, and managed it
ip to last winter, under toe name of
‘Powell’s Mills.” But his increasing
infermitiea caused him to sell his in
terest.
Jn all toe relations of life he was ad
mirable; a proyidcntnnd devoted bus-
band ; n wise and affectionate lather;
a generous and hospital neighbor; a
liberal and public spirited citizen; an
humble Christian, whose life, illus
trated the profession of Christianity
and adorned the Baptist church of
which he was long a member. It is
not strange that he should have .won
r the reverence of all classes, and tha
the community for which he has done
so much should mourn him as a oom-
benofactor. His ..charities
abounded, and.bta style of living w*®. ,
liberal, but he was eyer modest, anti
simple—detesting efforts at display. ,
