A TRIBUTE OF LOVE.
On August 11th. 1880 there was
sent into the home of Mr. and
Mrs. J. E. Kinnebrew, a gift from
God —a baby girl. They gave her
the name of Mary Idella; but to
them, and every one else, she was
“Pet.” The soubriquet came from
an aunt who died before she was
born, at about fourteen years of
age. But the fact of her being the
“pet” and favorite of, not only
the family, but all who knew her,
came from her own loving, gentle
nature.
All her life I have known her,
and I have never known anyone
more uns°lfish and wholesouled
than Pet. She thought of every
one before herself. Ever thought
ful of, ami helpful to her parents,
ready to shield them from any
thing her little hands could do for
them. To the two brothers and
two sisters liberal and self-sacri
ficing. Her greatest pleasure seem
ed to lie in making others happy.
She loved her friends and relatives
devotedly, and made them feel,
and know it by her untiring at
tentions when about them. She
loved her home so much that she
could not be induced to stay away
from it more than a few days at a
time.
Being the thi rd of five children
it was her pleasure to help the
younger, and do for the older ones.
I have never seen anyone who
hived to give as she did, nor who
was more appreciative of a gift.
No matter how trilling, it was
treasured for tl»e sake of the giver.
On June 25th. 1894, the day her
aunt Della died (one aunt for
whom she was named) she took
her bed, and for weeks she suffered
all the burning tortures of Typhoid
fever, but even in her delirium she
did not forget others comfort, and
would often express regret at hav
ing to trouble those who nursed
her. Hit thoughts dwelt much up
on death and heaven. Once she
looked up at her “Mama” with
one of those bright smiles, which
so often illuminated her face and
said.
“I won’t get homesick when I
get to heaven, will I?”
In her delirium she would talk
rff seeing “Aunt Della” and “Aunt
Pet” waitingfor her in their white
robes on the other side of the riv
er. “Oh, Mama” she would say,
“they will just wrap me up in their
white wings and carry me over.”
She talked of hearing the beauti
ful heavenly music, and the rip
pling of the crystal water—of see
ing the lovely trees on heavenly
shores, and Jesus waiting for her.
Who knows but that even under
the scorching fever that burned
her very life out on July 27th. 1894
that she did not have “a foretaste
of glory divine.”
If she had lived until August
11th. she would have been four
teen years old. But we think of
her now as one of the “lambs of
the upper fold.”
To the mother who was herself
prostrated with Typhoid fever,
and who was denied the privilege
of nursing her “Pet” for two weeks
and of seeing her in death, our
hearts g i out in deepest sympathy.
To the father whose heart bleeds
over the loss of his earthly idol
and the bereaved brothers and sis
ters, we know of no word of com
f >rt we can offer except that found
in our blessed Bible—but that is
all sufficient. My own heart
blseus over the loss of my favor- i
ite, but when 1 look around, and
think of what she has missed of
pain, and trouble and temptation,
my tears dry up, and I can “1: a
the hand that held the rod.” 1
Oh ! My brother and sister take
comfort in the thought, that what
ever the future may bring, your ,
“Pet” is safe from it all. ‘‘Safein
the arms of Jesus. ”

ON THE RIP RAPS.
Proposed Memorial of Commo
dore Maury.
’The Norfolk Landmark and
Ledger both ably argue in favar of
the Rip Raps as the best location
for the proposed monument to
Commodore Matthew F. Maury,
“the pathfinder of the seas.”
That the place has grdat advant
ages isclear. But would the United
States government be willing to see
1 : used for that purpose? We sup
pose the only way to get an answer
to this question is for one of our
congressmen to introduce a bill
conferring upon the secretary of
war the right to grant the Maury
Monument Association the use of
the Rip Raps for this purpose
should they ask it.
We imagine that the association
will select neither a design nor a
site for a monument until they
have made substantial progress in
raising funds, but congressional
action may well precede the asso
ciation’s action.
The Rip Raps is an artificial is
land at the lower end of Hampton
Roads, and opposite Fort Monroe,
made by the government a long
time ago as a fortification.
It was raided by dropping stones
o the bottom until at fast the heap
rose above the water’s level. When
built it was expected that the Rip
Raps would a powerful defense
against any eneiiiy’s fleet which at
tempted to run past Fort Monroe
and enter Hampton Roads wit*
the view of approaching Norfolk,
Portsmouther Hampton, but it is
useless and deserted now.
It may be doubted if ever again
m these days of armored vessels
and long range cannon the Rip
Raps will be used as a fort,
However, the proposed menu
ment would occupy but little space
and would in no wise interfere
with any use the government
might find f«r the place.
The site suggested is h bold and
commanding one fur a monument.
A shaft would be seen from the
deck of every vessel entering the
Roads or going up the bay.
Besides, there is a peculiar suit
about the locality inas
much as the greater part of Com
moder Maury's life was spent in
work to make the navigation of
the seas safer and easier. All sail
ors think well of him.
FINED FOR SNEEZING.
