Benj. Brantley Dead.
On Wednesday afternoon
the sad intelligence was p is- j
; sed from one to another that i
Benj. Brantley was dead. Mr.
Brantley had been a great
sufferer for years, though he;
was 011 lv confined to his bed
'before his death about a week.!
He moved to our town about 1
two years ago from Washing
ton comity, and, though a com
parative stranger, lie enjoyed
the full confidence and respect
of Ilia fellowtowiTsnren. His
ag> was.about forty years. lie
leaves a wife, several children
and a host of relatives to
j mourn his sudden taking off.
May the God of all pour a
healing balm 011 the wounded
hearts of. his loved one; and 1
'
help them to bear bravely
! their deep affliction.

The Sheltered D»rc.
Tn the I’itti Palace, at Florence,
are two pictures hanging side by j
side. One represents a stormy i
. sea, with its wild waves, and black :
clouds, and lierc-c lightning llasli--
ing across the sky. In the waters]
.-t human fa -e is seen, wearing an 1
; expression of tin- utmost agony;
and despair. The ot her picture ’
also represents a sea tossed by as,
fierce a storm, with ns dark clouds ;
but out of the midst of the waves
a rock rises, against, which the;
waters dash ill vain. In a cleft j
j of the rock arc some tufts of grass'
and green herbage, with sweet, j
' flowers, and in a sheltered place !
in tli* midst of th se, a dove is •
se- n sitting calmly on her nest, |
quiet and undisturbed hv the wild:
fury of the storm. The first pic
ture represents "Distress,” and;
lit ly shows forth the sorrow of I lie
world, v. litre all is helpless and!
despairing. The other is a beau- j
ti ft: 1 representation o; “Peace.” |
fitly showing forth tile so:rows of ;
