In Memory or Mrs. Jfcirgaret Mclntyre.
Departed this life February 4tli.
in Walker county, Mrs. Margaret
Mclntyre, wife of T M Mclntyre,
aged about 63 years.
She professed religion in her fif
teenth year, and joined the M tho
dist church. Later in life her own
family having made a profession
and united" with the Baptist church
fbe went with them, and was a
member of the Wood Station Bap
tist church it the time of. her de
cease.
About 1846 she was martied,
had nine children, only two of
whom vre now living.
When first taken sick death had
marked her for his victim, for she
had a premonition that she would
cot recover.
Her character was adorned with
with many virtues, from early
childhood down to the close of ber
life. In the social circle she was
genial, trusting and true.
In the family she was du'iful
kind and loving. She Was emphati
cally a good woman and as a wife,
mother and friend, she wae a mod
el.
She leaves evidence that she
passed away in the triumph of a
living faith. She was followed to
her last resting place, by a very
lare number of Citizens, who were
anxious to pay her tteir Ist trib
ute of respect.
The Rev. A. I. Leet preached her
funeral and performed the usual
relgious cereonocief. Pe.ce to her
ashes and may the whole family
(nine) meet iu the brighter world
on high- Amen. A Fi.IEND.

A Telegrapher’s Tale.
“And von must really go away
and tetnain all night in that nasty
old box i f yours, and leave you
Little Rosebud to imagine al 1 sort”
of horrid things happaninf to h r
poor old boy? Couldn’t you slay
at home just for this one nighi?’
U uldu’t possibly do it, tnv
love,’ said L struggling into my
overcoat.
It was Christmas Eve, and I re
ally wanted to stay at home, but
duty first, ever.
iiy wife lingered by the porch,
foil wing me with her eyes; and so
lens as the house whs in sight I
could, on looking back, sco her
white diosa in the light wliiob
streamed through the open door .
At the time of which I wiits 1
was Telegraph Superin.er.dent op
of railway. Ono of the
clerks w >o war on night duty hid
been taken suddenly ill, and I
bad :aken bis work myself until
stleh time as he should recover. 1
had only been married a few
mouths, and was by no means re
.coucilcd to leaving iny wile to pass
the night in ‘.hat ‘nasty old box,’
as Atig called it. But i was a
nogruiabling ofrnine
could maid the matter.
A drive of about eight miles
brought are to my post; but on
that night my mind was filled with
vague, indefinable feats, for which
I tried in vain to account. 'lhe
uight was clear and windless, and
away in tha northwestern sky the
aurora borea'is was flying-to and
fro in a thousand strange faetastic
shapes.
Ou entering the telegraph
station, the clerk whom I came to
relieve was ready to go.
’You won’t tiayo much work to.
uight,’ said lie. ‘The instruments
are unworkable; no signals have
heal received for the last three
iiburs. G iod night.’
When L was left alone I foui d
that it was as he said. I drew my
Chair to the stove aud taking down
a book which was on a shelf! tried
I I interest luyslf iu the story; hut
it had no power to quiet my wild
wandering thoughts. While I was
turning listlessly ove: the leaves,
t|ie stillness nns startled by a sharp
quick clanging of tke electric bell,
the usual signal to pr'par’ to read
offa mejsage. With a shiver of
alarm I turned quieklv to the in
strument, but soon perceived that
th” bell had been rung by no earth
ly power, for tke vibrating needles
uiuue no intelligible sign, and I
knew that the sound had been
produced by a curient of almos
pheric electricity acting upon the
wires. Smiling at the nervousness
which caused me to start, I turned
from the desk and again sat down
by tiie fire.
But smite as I would, and rea
son as I ahglit, I felt I was fast
succumbing to vague feelings.
Thinking the atmosmphere of the
room, close and hot, might have
something to do with my peculiar
condition of mimi, I flung open
the door and stepped outside, in
hope that the cool air might scare
away the phantoms of my bruin
As I erased the threshold, the
miduightexpress crushed past with
u spied arid lorce which shook
»vei y timber of the building, and,
uttering a lend loud shriek, disap
peart d into the tunnel, at the sum
mit of widen uiy station was
placed.
Winn it had gone there wasstill
ness, stillness broken only by tire
sighing of tee air passing along the
wins, h ard even in the calmest of
nights. From that my mind re
yerlcl to the. earnestness with
which rny wife had asked me to
mnaiuat hoc o that night, and her
ami lien when she hide me good
bye. Wiiet C-uld hr tne meaning
of it all?
Bui I resolved to stay where I
was, and get liirmigii the night as
oest I coo’d. ‘ifiliH goes ou,’en d
Ito myself, as I turned in irte
! again, and poked up the cods
\ with more nun'e than Was necessa
ry—‘it this go’s on n.uch looj-er, I
shiili line o eoroult a do* tor,
it, .l> p wm.' I titled rri}*'iri|e fn\
i lit it. but the weed hut lost i’s
usual ta. q iiliz ng power. Again
[ the bell rang sharply; but as bes are,
no intinlijyibV sign wj.s m ule by
t arnrdbs. I caned n y clbovs
o.i thedibk, and, with my liea I
etwei n rny liaivN, watched their
unending motions. An hour
might have pus-,c l thus, when
once more T was startled by the
c.’ang of the bell.
That line it was lou l*r and
more urgent; m l, it scenic 1 to me
with a jiecullnr unearthly sound,
such ns I never heard btiforr. Jt
seemed a* tfit. mingled with the
meta lie ring no the tone of a hu
man voiea—- the voice of ono I
knew. The needles, 1 now ohserv
el, began to iVi'iko signs which I
understood; and slowly, ns if sqmo
novice were working the instru
ment, the lOttera ‘C-o m-e’ tvvrc
signaled, N > Sooner had I read off
the final *e,’ than, to my amezo
ment tvfld terrar, I distinctly saw
the handle of .nv instrutner t, nl
thouch 1 was hot touching it at
ihe as if grasped by some
invisible hand, move rapidly, and
make tho signal Understood,’
which the rieeivW of a message
'.ransmits at the end of every word,
A cold thrill ran through me. L
felt as if every drop of blood were
leaving my befrt.
And now I cotdld perceive that
another word wt 8 being Bpelt out
Rot so terrill d was I that I failed
to midi the signs. Again niv
handle moved, end this time
made the signal ‘Not Understood. 1
With an overwhelming feeling of
awe, I watched the dials intently
while the letters were again signal
id, and this lime read II o-in-e.
There was a cresatiou of all tmititn.
for a scccond or two, I stood pel
rifled with fo.tr and amazement,
half-believing 1 was in a dreuin,
for reason n fused to accept tire ev
idence cfsense. Could that be a
message for roe? If so. what hand
lad sent it? The hell again soun
d'd with a clangor still inure loud
and unearthly, and after a few un
certain movemeate, the magnets re
peated the words ‘Como home—
come home I’—the handles moving
us befoie. I cou'd remain at my
post no longer. Come wlutl might,
I felt I had no altcruitive but
to obey.
I ran to the. house where the
clerx lived, and on rousing the in
mates, and gaining admission, told
him he must take my place imme
diately, as I had been suddenly call
ed away. 1 1 a nniuu'o or two I
was dashing along tire road on
horse back in the direction ofhonre.
I Bball never forget that ride. Al
though I urged my horse with
whip and voice until he flew rather
than galloped, the pace was far too
slow for my excited mind ; and ut
last breathing and punting, we slat
tered tip the loi g street of tho
village near which I lived. Sud
denly a horse and rider appeared at
the other end of the strsot, and a
hearse v'-iice utlerid aery : ‘ FireT
At the same instant, the church
bell was violently rang, nndntoace
the whole viljnge slatted into life.
Great Heaven! my v.oist fears
were realized. It was my own
home. I choki d down the agony,
and arrived al tho scene ot the tiro,
The house was a large old one, and
when 1 rea died it,smoko was issu
ing in thick, murky volumes from
the windows of the second fiat,
while fierce longues (f llanos were
a ready leaping along the roes. A
crowd of uicu were hurrying con
tuscdly about wi'h bucktls end
pails ofwu’cr “My wife’!’ I ex
claimed, as I rushed forward,
‘where is she?' ‘God knows, air,’
Haid one of the men. Without ut
tering a word, I entered the house,
and ran along the lobby—the wood

blazing und crackling (iuuie. Be

Despair uuve mr slrenuth j and
lifting, 1 struck it violent
ly against one of the lower pane's
of the do ir. A other Mow mid it
was driven in.
‘Maggie I Muggi- I 1 shrUkul,

I gained our bed room d hit. To
my joy, it wih open, end stretched
on the floor I found the oppiirnlly
lifeless form of my wife. [ bent
over her, and on placing tny hand
on her heart, I fotin i it still heat
ing. I lifted her gently and earned,
her in my arms to the window,
which I broke i pen. Os what fol
lowed I ant only dimly conscious;
I have a confused reniciuhmnce of
men bringing a lucid-r, and strong
arms helping us down, and tbo
people cheering; hut it is all v ry
vague, My next reoollpolion is
that of finding myselfin my father's
house all bruised arid weak, with
mv wife bending ovir uie. Wo bad

On the ev ning of the next day,
when the winter twi’ight was (fee
ing round and the enow H ikes Were
falling, Maggiodrow s sloel c’bfe to
the rouch on which 1 lav, 11,i. king
ever the strange events hi re related.
1 had said nothing to nnvnody re
garding the warning which 1 had so
mysteriously received.
Willie,’ pa ! d (he soft voice of
my wife, if joa had not come —’
H sb, darling. Don’t talk like
that.’
‘But it might have been. And
do you know, Willie, I Ipid such n
strange dr.-ani thut nvful night.
You retnemix r,’ sai l she drawing
e'o o er to me,‘the evening you took
Ma ry and me into the te egr ph of
fie, and toM m all about toe bat
teries at.d tilings which we couldn't
ttml rstand. though we pretended
t- 1 do so, lust you should think us
stupid ?'
‘Perfectly.’
And you remember how, when
L said f should like to it ml a mes
sage with my own hands, you
made me take hold of the li indie,
and then you guided it, while 1
sent a mes-agi to your brother,
who was in the cfli • at Lowustolt
then? And the end of it tvus.
•C' me ho no—come home!’which
I repealed ovi r and over, until I
could do it without your help.'
1 turned quickly round, but she
did not perceive my startled look.
‘Well,’ she continued, the n’ght
before las*, when jou were away, I
couldn’t sleep for a long time alier
1 went to bed; then 1 dreamed —
such a horrible dream I 1 thought
I was in your efliee again and I had
fled there becaun I was chimed by
some terrible tiling. I did not
know what it was, but it was close
behind me, and nobody could save
me but you. Hut you wire not
there, and so I seised the handle
and signed the words 'Co i e horn*
—come home I’ as you had taught
me, thinking that would be sure
to bring you. Then when you did
not come, I felt its hot breafli on
ray neck, as if were just goirgto
clutch me in its dreadful armvnd
1 screamed so loud that I s-woko
The rcom was all dark, and filled
with stroke so thick thut when 1
jumped up, I fainted for want of
air. And, Oh, Willie, if you had

might—’
