MISS TEMPIE QU 1 GU — 1 — YI e copy the following tribute to the memory of the good girl whose name heads tnis article and whose body now lies cold in our cemetery, from the At lanta Constitution, and exiend to sore > bereaved family our most sincere sympathies. ihe death cf Miss Teni]fie Q iigg, so young and fair, bright, wiftjt dhd sparm iing, has cast a cloud of sorrow over this eniiit community. She was a member of the senior class in the Georgia Meth odist fehiate co lege t'bvingtou. Ten <lay s ago she came to her father s sick with 1} pho-maltirial fever. The best medical skill find most watchful care weie impotent to check the rarnges of thb fell disease which wkssapping her young life. On Sabbath evening last, amid the tears and sobs of father, mother, bnly remaining sister, brothers and friends, she calmly fell tslcep in Jesus. “Calm on the bosorhof tHy God, Fair spirit rest th>-e now ; Evenwhil on earth thy footsteps trod, Lis seal WaS oh thy 1 row ” As a ma ’ k of high esteerh. President Bonnell suspended the exercises ,,f the college, and with every n ember of the facu tv, and a very large delegation of the young ladies, carrying iheir floral ofierin 8-as a tribete oi love, attended the sad and solemn obsequies in the Presbyterian chinch. President Bound) said in his eulogy from the pulpit, “that ks soon as - he had croesed the co' lege threshhold-he excited the admiration of faculty a-M studer.tsas being a young lady of dignity, culture and refinement; that she possessed rare ability as a stu¬ dent, and above all, was devotedly pious. And pressed upon the young to follow her example.” Our town predicted when she left for college that she would takb the first honors of her cl„8S. In God s mysterious providence she is indeed already crow ned with royal honors. She was a v«ry loving and dutiful child, kind and ob’ig ing to all her seoolinaWfe. “None knew her but to love her none named her but to praise.” Tn face and features, mind and manners she was the image of her father, Dr- Quigg. To him she was peculiarly dear. When his own ia boiSof the day were <wer, lie made it his pleasure for yeurs'to spend an hour or two on her instruction. Near her last she threw her dims af iund her fa ther’s neck saying, ‘Darling father, am your pupil.” She was one of the best scholars of her age. She was just turning seventeen. She read the higher classics, si.ch as Horace arid Homer, well, She had also acquired some knowledge 6’f French and German); She performed admirably upon the piano’ and wds learn fug thfe guitifr. She was a punctual member of the Sabbath school and a consistent member of the church o’f her father She was the light of the home and the joy olfond parent ’8 hearts: This affliction comes with crushing effect upon the bereaved parents in as much as they have now lo t within less than live mdaths, two lovely daughters'. May God give them the grace cf resignation under ti e afflictive hand of infinite love, who doetli all things well.. Fond parerjts, dry your tears, von will .meet your be¬ loved Tempie and sainted Lizzie by crys¬ tal sea, where n<» tears are shed and sor¬ row never comes.
