the manulacturer to take the machine
off his hands; but without success..
At last, being exasperated, he turn

so that I can’t keep it in my enginr

to keep it in tlie middle of the street ’
V ery soon a new wheel Come, and
a letter from the manutac’.urcr ex

OUS to know what his b->ok keeper
had written to bring about this hap

]). Hendry, in Bhuks*iem\ (la., his
wihi, Mrs. Caroline K. llemlry, in
lire sixtieth year of fit!'* age. Sue
was the daughter of George N. and
FliZa-Staley, lWi merly of SavaWnali.
and was born in Savannah. Ga.,
April 2nd lX21>; was married to
Capl. M. D. Hemtry, December 5th,
1S4 i. and lived in Savannah until
18(i«.
Accepting the promise that. *• I’Hc.v

early in life she gave heart to Je.-us
ami Joined the Methodest. Ohufcli,
Savannah, at the age of twelve years
and continued a consistent ar.d stead

eight years, wiiefi taken to the ftp

A more gentle, unassuming Chris
tian, a more affectionate and -devot
ed wile, loving vnv>ther and grand
mother never blessed a home; a more
faithful friend, geLmiU* and kind,
never adorned the walks of social lilt*.
Her piety like her disposition was
unostentatious, but no one who knew
her well could mistake the gentle but
h ire force of her religious lile.
Nature had endowed her with rare
qualities of mind and heart; she pos
sested a sweet 'elev-ftted and refined
chaifteter, a nature cheerful and
bright, w hich loved the sunny side of
lile; she harbored no resentment, she
was I'hII of charity, licC hand was ev
er v>p<-n to ihe needy, and no ono was
ever turned a wny empty from her
door, or was a taVor relnsed to any
one when it was in her power to
grant it.
IShe was a Woman of rare com Won
sense and her'mind Was stored With
a fund of knowledge, and many a
bright gem o thought and lieanlifnl
sentiment fed from her lips; and her
dear heart, that was lull “of the milk
ol human kindness.”
She was the joy and delight of an
affectionate‘family, and I ho beloved
of a large circle of friends.
The swCe'l fragrance of hot memo
