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. ” Aunt Alice. Aye»L Sarsaparilla is one of the < ew rtme lies which are recommend ! ed by every school of medicine. Its i strength, purity, and efficacy are too well established to adaiit of doubt as oils superiority over all other blood " rifiers whatever. Ayer’s Sarsapar- i l * ads all. 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. A Berlin Mechanic has to Pay for his Terrible Conduct.
