On the Death of a Friend.
l.f CHARLES WJSBUSV.
All worship aud love
To the Father above,
tVho ! atli summoned another his glory to prove ;
Who in pity and grace
Hath shortened his race,
And caught up a worm to the sight of his face.
Onr friend is at rest
In a paradise blest,
Which sorrow and Satan can never molest;
He hath shook oil'his clay,
lie lias wafted away,
And escaped to the regions of permanent day.
Thrice liappy remove
To a country above,
Where all arc employed in the triumph of love!
We thitherward tend,
We, too, shall ascend,
And begin the enjoyment which never shall end.
For tiiis do wc mourn,
’Till by angels up-borne,
We again to our heavenly border return :
Caught up in the air
We soon shall be there,
And our happy, unfading inheritance share.
What joy shall abonnd,
When our brethren around
The throne of our glorious Kedeemerare found!
When our comrades in pain
We embrace them again,
Aud in Jesus’s bosom eternally reign.
With loving surprise
The whole company ewes,
llow strangely at last are we met in the skies!
What a wonder of grace
Transcending our praise,
That we should he seen in this holiest place!
Poor sinners below, .
Acquainted with woe,
How Heavily once with our load did wc go 1
In trials severe
flow oft do we fear
We should never hold out, wc should never come
here!
Fellow-prisoners beneath,
Onr sorrowful breath
We wasted in passionate wishes for deatli;
Our evils so rife,
So painful our strife,
And so long did it seem the sad moment of life!
That moment is past!
We are landed at last,
We are safely arrived, where onr anchor was cast;
On imraannel’s land
With a numberless hand,
Os cherubs anil seraphs exulting we stand.
For a moment of pain
We on earth did sustain,
An eternal reward we in heaven obtain :
Who governs the skies,
Hath banished our sighs,
Ami the Lamb he hath wiped all the tears from our
eyes.
No uneasy alloy
_ Shall sully our joy,
While our harps in Immanuel’s praise we employ,
Not a dissonant string
Shall he heard while we sing,
With the chorus of angels, onr Saviour and King.
Our Saviour we own
Who sits on the throne,
Salvation ascribe to the Father and Son !
We are saved by the Lamb !
Let all heaven proclaim,
Let all heaven bow down to the wonderful inline.
'Our Jesus surround,
With majesty crowned.
And Amen to our praises, ye seraphim sound :
• bo! He shows us his face!
Ye seraphim gaze,
Or fall, and adore in the spirit of praise.
Thus, thus let us lie,
’Till raised by his eye.
Hallelujah, again hallelujah we cry !
Progressively move,
And in rapture improve,
And eternity spend to the praise of liis love.

How to Distinguish ttie Truly Liln
cutcd Woman.
The following extract is from tlio .Baccalau
reate sermon of the accomplished President
of Yassar College, John H. Raymond :
In what ways, then, you will ask, aro lib
erally-educated woman to distinguish them
selves as such and so conciliate the conli
dcnce of mankind for tho cause of high wo
man culture ? Many suggestions spring to
my lips in reply, but time is passing, and I
will restrict myself to two.
1. And first, I would say, by serious aims
and dignified pursuits in life.
The name of woman is widely identified in
the popular mind with tho idea of frivolity.
I t is the fashion with many to regard her as
constitutionally weak, shallow and light-mind
ed by the decree of God. And (alas, that we
must confess it!) there lias been, and still is,
too much in the habits of many of your sex
that gives a color of plausibility to the doc
trine. When wo consider what constitutes
tho staple of ordinary femalo conversation,
the character of the reading of which women
are the greediest dovonrera, tho utter trifles
on which, when not compelled to drudge,
tlioy often mkiiijge to spend their energies—
when wo. think especially of their devotion
to dress and personal decoration, and thev*
thraldom to fashion in all its monstrosities
of taste, indecencies of suggestion, and in
finite pettinesses of detail—a thraldom to
which so many of tho best submit, and would
almost seem to love their bonds—it is enough
to shako tho faith of the stoutest believer in
woman’s capacity for high intellectual cul
ture.
-I’radically, it is no answer to these patent
facts to retort that there aro just as many
shallow and silly men ns there aro shallow
and silly women, that it is the influence of
men that makes women trifling, or that, if
on tho whole tlio average man has more
weight of character and power of serious
thought than tho average woman, it is be
cause life furnishes him with larger oppor
tunities and moro inspiring motives. This
may bo true, or it may not. It is at best a
matter of opinion, and will weigh little witli
those who look daily on the facts, and with
whose theory of woman’s sphero and mission
those facte harmonize only too well. To
those who regard woman gafctended to be
tho pet and plaything of man, tho mere or
nament of his home, tho minister to his af
feetions and tastes alone, his pretty solace
and diversion from tho graver occupations
of life, and who believo her only serious
functions to bo physical—to bo tho jnother
and nurso of children, the earo-take™of the
house-hold, and the provider for tho bodily
wants of its inmates—to such it will'seem
only fitting that she should bo correspond
ingly endowed, and that her constitutional
traits and tendencies should bo those which
most perfectly agree with a life so singularly
compounded of tho butterfly and tho boast
of burden.
The true answer to this low doctrine of
womanhood is furnished by thoso women
who, by realizing a higher ideal in their own
persons, show that feminino weak minded
noss is not universal, and therefore not con
stitutional, or necessary. Thank God, there
are many sneh. Lifting themselves in vari
ous degrees above the level of ordinary in
anencss, sneh women, serious, thoughtful in
the pursuit of truth and the practice of vir
tue, clad in tho dignity of conscious reason
and immortality, stand up a perpetual refu
tation of that libel on your sex, and the
promise of a better day for woman. Suoh
instances, though perhaps exceptional, aro
by no means rare. Every age and country
has produced them ; every family contains
them. Where circumstances have favored,
they have acquired learning, have shone in
literaturo and art, have organized and di
rected charities (often on tho largest scale)
in peace and in war, and have ruled nations
with a wisdom above that of kings. Oftener,
unaided by conditions, against the current
of custom and prejudice, by tho sheer force
of an earnest intelligence seeking its fullest
development, reaching after knowledge ns
its birthright, and growing by the henltby
exercise of the faculties within the sphere
allowed them, whatever that might bo, they
have attained a largeness of nature, intellec
tual as well as moral, and a potency of influ
ence, which all acknowledge and must ad
mire.
Tliese arc the truly educated women.
Though they may never have sat at the feet
of masters, or seen the inside of school or
college, they have attained all the ends of a
true culture by as much as they have ac
quired breadth of information, discipline of
faculty, and power of soul. And every sys
tem of female education must be tried at last
by its power of producing such women. I
care not with what show of outward accom
plishments or what dexterity of social art
the young woman may have been taught to
glitter in crowded saloons and win the ap
plause of fascinated admirers. I care not
what school lias awarded her its diplomas,
how long the catalogue of pretentions
“branches” she has nominally pursued, nor
how great the eclat with which she figured
in class-room or on examination day. If her
accomplishments have left her poor iu intel
lect and feeble in nature, if she lias not
la trued to love knowledge for its own sake
and to pursue it with a life-long interest, if
she has not become an earnest-minded woman,
seeking from choice tho companionship of
tho intelligent and wise (livingor dead), de
voting her powers to noble practical ends,
anil forever escaped from the possibility of
relishing what is petty and shallow, vulgar
and weak, in the life of her sex—she is not
an educated woman, and tljp school or t|Mj
masters who through their
left her in that condition, merit only eSH
tion and contempt.— Ex. and Chrrn.

lesson
“If I were tempted to-day
crime, and I were to have onenMQßMp
down and consider how I would commit the
crime, aud then conceal ruy offence by Cat
ering np nil ray tracks, and if I got up a
scheme as ingenious as ever was put fortli (
in tlio novels or in the miserable trash that,
is spread abroad in the land, and found
among our farmers and mechanics in this,
so called, sensational literature, that is found
in these two shilling yellow-covered novels,
I say, if I should say to myself “ I think I
ci-n conceal this,” when I came to my sober
judgment, I would say, “No, 1 cannot do
it."
Ninety-nine times in a hundred the devil
tempts the man who is inclined to commit
crime, aud will furnish him with ingenious
reasons, but when it comes to be fitted and
investigated in tho presence of a jury, after
the police and shrewd lawyers have had the
examination of it for a few months, it will
be found ninety-nine times out of a hundred,
(and I say this to the warning of everybody)
that tho ingenious schemo lias failed, the
truck has been left somewhere, somo clue is
discovered. It may be aafiifrMp faint, that
most men would not
' men, detectives, .get on tbfrflKpPf-when
once they get on it they follßra[ii ftp as the
hound follows the fox, and follow it up to
the end, and are able to explain tho whole
tiling, nnd expose the criminal.
I have in my mind at this moment a case
of robbery committed of eiglity-six thousand
dollars. Tho robber could prove on tho trial
that ho slept at a hotel ten miles from tho
placo where the robbery was committed,
weut to bed at the ordinary time, put his
horse in tho stable, had him groomed aud
fed, that he remained there the whole night
until lip was called up by the landlord to go
down ; that he washed himself ami took
breakfast, and the whole thing would have
been a case so nice that nobody would ever
have thought of arresting him, yet that man
was guilty of the offence, and tlio way ho
was detected was simply this : This mer
chant who had this money, had collected it
while soiling lumber down tho river, and
coming homo, ho assorted his money, only
tho day before, and put it iu packages, and
of one bill, a five dollar bill, the corner was
torn—a piece no bigger than my thumb per
haps, just held by a thread -a very little.
Ho took that little piece, took out his wallet
and put it in—a thing ho probably would
not have done one time in a hundred. The
idea occurred to him to save that little piece,
and perhaps he would pasto it on when ho
had timo. In scarcli of the robbers the
country was rausaeked, everybody who could
ho suspected of crime, in that vicinity, was
visited, and their whereabouts inquired into
on that niglit until their innocence was es
tablished. About four weeks after this, tlio
merchant was in a neighboring village, some
miles from where lie lived, anil in a grocery
store, when a customer came in and bought
some articles, and in payment drew out a
ten dollar bill. 'The grocer pulled out his
drawer, and for change threw out this five
dollar bill. Tho man saw this bill instantly,
picked it up, took out liis wallet, took the
little piece and it matched. “ Now,” said
ho, “where did you get this money—this
five dollar bill ? ” The grocery man was able
to tell him, ho got it from old Mrs.—, the
mother of tlio man who had committed tho
felony. He followed it up, went to her house,
got on tho track of a portion of tho money,
and, finally, had tho man arrested, and lie
acknowledged his guilt. T mention tills for
tho instruction of the young and everybody,
to show that you cannot form these schemes
so but that you may be detected. Ido not
say that there may not be an escape, once
in a while, but it is so rarejfftnl uncertain
tins forming a schemo by which to escape.-
that I come right around to the old -idjjgßN
that honesty is the best policy.”*’ * (V

The conversation narrated below took
place a long way oil, and near the shores of
thevPacilic, but with a few changes of terms
it might, we fear, be applied to cases nearer
homo. Wo quote the Wiltiermfllc Ju inner,
Salem, Oregon:
Not long sinco wo heard a conversation
something liko tho following:
of the city.—“ Ah! lio\v do-yon do
Mr. .Jolnyjpn? It is sometime since you
havtriSeen in town. What is tlio news in
“ Not much— bad weather and hard
times?”
“ Hard times among farmers? I thought
yon were all doing well. Produce is high,
and there is an active demand for it.”
“ I tell you wo aro seeing hard times in
tho country. No money to be had. I have
not received a dollar for a month.”
“ What have yon done with your wheat?”
“Oh, that was sold beforo harvest. Our
store account took it all, and, you know, if
wo did not pay that, wo would get no more
credit at tho store.”
“ Well, did you raise somo oats?”
“ We have seven horses; all of them are
wanted by tho boys, and we had no oats to
spare.”
“Well, had you no stock for sale, no
sheep or hogs?”
“Our stock lias done mightly poorly.
The grass is all eat out, and we have not
sowed any tame grass seed for pasture. We
sold a hog or two, but they were small, and
did not bring ranch; besides, wo wanted
about all the hogs we raised for tho family.
Wo keep several (Jogs for hunting, and they
have made wayAvith most of our sheep.
Oag -wool is.-fiardly worth takiug to mar
ket.” /
“I notjeod that higfi prices arc now paid
fer potatoes. Have yon them for sale?”
“ We did not plant Inany’last spring, and
tlio boys neglected to ‘take care of them,
wm the hogs broke into the patch and root-
up and oat them, and we have not
Imy for the family. We havo had awful
bad luck, and aro getting disconraged. Wo
can get hold of no money. It is hard limes
with us.”
“ And I think it ought to be. If you do
not see and feel hard times, effects do not
follow causes. According to your own ac
count, you spend your crop of wheat before
yon harvest it; yon raise no moro oats than
you want to feod out to your worthless scrub
horses; you havo no cattle to sell, because
you are too thriftless to provide tamo pas
tures; your pork crop amounts to little, as
you havo nothing to fatten hogs; your sheep
aro killed by your half-starved dogs, and
your potato crop was destroyed, as you were
too heodless and careless to provide a safe
fence against your starved hogs. I think,
according to your own account, you and
your boys are seeing hard times, and I think
yon deservo to do so. Now, my friend, go
homo and turn over anew leaf iu your life.
Yon have neighbors with no more advan
tages than you have, who are making money
and CDjoying all tho good things of life.
These neighbors aro industrious. They are
even now putting in wheat every fair day.
Their fences are all iu order. When the
season for sowing wheat is past, they will
have a prospect for lino crops. They do
not pledge their wheat to the merchants be
fore it is sown.”
How borrowed things are often used is
well exemplified in the case of a boy who
was met on horse-back crying with cold.
Someone said to him, “Why don’t you get
down and lead your horse ? That is tho
way to keep warm.” “ No,” said the boy,
“ it’s a b b-borrowe.l boss, and I’ll ride him
if I freeze.”
A Boston minister says he once preached
011 “The Recognition of Friends in the
Future,” and was told after service by a
hearer that it wonld be moro to the point
to preach about the recognition of friends
here, as ho had boen in tlio church twenty
years, aud didn’t know any of its members.
Almost everything lias its bright side.
A little girl in West Virginia, busily enga
ged working a pair of slippers intended for
a birthday gift to iier father, said to one of
her playmates : “ I,think you are real lucky,
for your papa has got only one leg, anil you
needn’t work but one.”
A Quaker’s advice to his son on his wed
ding (lay : “ When thee went a courting I
told theo to keep thy eyes wide open ; bow
that thou art married I. tell thee to keep
them half shut.”

Who can tell what a baby thinks*
-When it awakes from its forty winks,
And rubs its face into linmerons thinks,
And stares at the light that comes in »t the chinks
Os its rock a-by nest, and gapes and blinks,
Who can tell what a baby thinks ?
Who has courage to hazard a guess,
As to baby may think of its dress,
Trin"aei»f nlUed to snch excess ?
|Qr% hat ire t)“y may think of the mess
Tor headache, and toothache, and stomach dis
tress.
And for all its ailing*, more or less.
JSfhat does it think, when it wakes in the night,
With all its pretty things out of sight,
And nobody stirring and “ making a,light ?”
Y)oes it think its condition is far from right,
@Lnd that big folks are not at all polite,
And treat their visitors far from right,
And that darkness is meant for a personal slight?
Is that the reason it takes delight
In screaming with all its personal might,
And rousing the neighbor at dead of night?
And what do you think that tho baby thinks ?
Looking around like a mild-eyed lynx,
Watching ihe spoon that tinkles and clinks,
While papa is warming its catnip drinks
Over a candle that glimmers and blinks,
Humming and drumming out “Capt’n Jinks,”
That the children skate to, now at the rinks,
What do yon think that the baby thinks?
Do yon say that Ihe babies are thinkless things.
With no other light than what instinct brings;
Wlt.i brains as downy as butterflies’ wings,
And heads as empty as a bell that swings
Over and under, and rings, and sings,
When muscular motion is working the stiings ?
Did you say that babies arc thinkless things ?
Then w itn does the think begin to grow?
And when does the mind begin to show ?
And when does the baby begin to know
That this, is true, m- that is so ?
Say, when you fin®out, please let me know.

A Story from Andersen.
| The following story is taken from a vol
ume lately published by Hurd & Iloughtou,
entitled “Stories anil Tales,” by Hans
Christian Andersen, illustrated, etc |
FIVE OUT OF ONE SHELL.
There were five pea3 in one shell; they
were green, aud the pod was green, and so
they thought the whole world was green,
and that was just as it should he! The shell
grew and the peas grew; they accommo
dated themselves to circumstances, sitting
all in a row. Tho sun shone without, and
warmed the liusk, aud tho raiu made it clear
and transparent; it was mild and agreeable
in tho bright day aud in tho dark night,
just as it should be, aud tho peas as they
sat there became bigger and bigger, and
more and more thoughtful, for something
they must do.
“Are we to sit here everlastingly?” asked
one. “I'ei afraid we shall become hard by
long sitting. It seems to me there must be
something outside; I have a kind of ink
ling of it.”
And weeks went by. The peas became
yellow, and tho pod also.
“All the world’s turning yellow,” said
they; and they had a right to say it.
Suddenly they felt a tug at the shell. The
shell was torn off, passed through human
hands, aud glided down into the pocket of
a jacket, in company with other full pods.
“ Now wo shall soon be opened!” they
said; and that is just what they wero wait
ing for.
“ I should like to know who of us will get
farthest!” said the smallest of the live.
“Yes, now it will soon show itself.”
“ What is to be will bo,” said the biggest.
“ Crack!” the pod burst, and all the five
peas rolled out into the bright sunshine.
There they lay iu a child’s hand. A littlo
lioy was clutching them, and said they were
fine peas for liis pea-shooter; and he put
one in directly and shot it out.
“ Now I’m ilying ont iuto tho wiile world,
catch me if you caul” anil he was gone.
“I,” said the second, “I shall (ly straight
into tho sun. That’s a shell worth looking
at, and one that exactly suits me.” Anil
away ho went.
“ We’ll go to sleep wherever we arrive,
said the two next, “but we’ll roll on all the
same.” And they certainly rolled and tum
bled down on the ground before they got
into the pea-shooter; but they wero put in
for mil that. “We shall go farthest,” said
they.
“ What is to happen will happen,” said
tho last, as he was shot forth out of the pea
shooter; and he flew up against the old
board under the garret window, just iuto a
crack which was tilled with moss aud soft
mould; nnd tho moss closed round him;
tliero he lay a prisoner indeed, but not for
gotten by provident Nature.
“.What v is to happen will happen,” said
he.
WHJiin, iu the littlo garret, lived a poor
Wivgmn wiio went out in the.day to clean
stoVes, chop wood small, and to do other
hard work of the spine kind, for she was
strong aniljHMkiktnous too. lint sho al
ways renißiiMrpoor; aud at homo iu the
garret lay her half-grown daughter, tvho
was very delicate aud weak; for a whole
year she had kept her bed, and it seemed
as if sho could neither live^y)io.
“She is going to sister,” the
woman said. “ 1 hail two children,
aud it was not an easy mirfTer to provide for
both, but tho good GoiU provided for one
of them by taking her home to himself; now
I should ho glad to keep the other that jvas
left to me; but I suppose theyjaw- ntfl to
reiujiui separated, atiihniy Juck go
to liA- siSfei- in heaven.”
But the siek girl remained whero'sho was.
She lay quiet and patient all day long while
her mother went to earn money out of doors.
It was spring, and early in tho morning,
just as the mother was about to go out to
work, the sun shone mildly nnd pleasantly
through the little window and threw its rays
across the floor, and the siek girl fixed her
eyes on tho lowest pane in tho window.
“What may tlyit green thing be that
looks in at the window? It is moving in the
wind.”
And tho mother stepped to the window
and half-opencd.it. “O!” said she, “on
my word, that is a little pea which has taken
root here, and is puttiug out its littlo loaves.
How can it have got hero into the crack?
That is a little garden with which you can
amuse yourself.”
Anil the sick girl’s bed wa3 moved nearer
to the window, so that she could always see
the growing pea; and the mother went forth
to her work.
“ Mother, I think I shall get well,” said
tho siek child in the evening. “ The sun
shono in npon mo to-day delightfully warm.
The little pea is prospering famously, and I
shall prosper too, and get ;iip, nnd go out
into the warm sunshine.
“ God grant it!” said tlio mother; but she
did not think it would be so; but she took
care to prop with a stick the green plant
which had given her daughter the pleasant
thoughts of life, so that it • might not be
broken by tho wind; she tied a pieco of
string to tho window-sill .and to the upper
Eart of the frame, so that tho pea might
avo something round which to twine, when
it shot up; and it did shoot up indeed —one
could seo how it grew every day.
“Really, here is a flower comingl” said
tho woman one day; and now she began to
cherish tho hope that her sick daughter
would recover. She remembered that lately
tho child hod spoken much more cheerfully
than before, that in the last few days she
had risen np in bed of her own accord and
had sat upright, looking with delighted eyes
at tho little garden in which only one plant
grew. A week afterward the invalid for the
first time sat up for a whole hour. Quite
happy, she sat there in tho warm sunshine;
the window was opened, and outside before
it stood a pink pea blossom fully blown.
The sick girl bent down and gently kissed
the delicate leaves. This day was like a fes
tival.
“The Heavenly Father himself has plant
ed that pea, and caused it to prosper, to be
a joy to yon, and to me also, my blessed
child!” said the glad mother; and she smiled
at the flower, as if it had been a good an
gel.
But about the other peas? Why, Iho one
who flew out into the wide world and said,
“Catch me is you can,” fell into the gutter
on tho roof, and found a home in a pigeon’s
crop; tho two lazy ones got just os far, for
they, too, were eaten up by the pigeons,
and thus, at any rate, they were of some
real use; but the fourth who wanted to go
np into the sun, fell into the sink, and lay
there in the water for weeks andjwoeks, and
swelled prodigiously.
“ How beautifully fat I’m growing !” said
the pea. “ I shall barst at lost; and I don’t
think any pea can do more than that. I’m
tho mo9t remarkable of all tho five that were
in the shell.”
And tho sink said he was right.
Bnt the young girl at tho garret window
stood there with gleaming eyes, with the
roseato hno of health on her cheeks, and
folded her thin hands over tho pea blossom,
tal thanked Heaven for it.
The entire alphabet is found in these four
lines:
God gives the gracing ox his meat.
He quickly hears tbe sheep’s low cry;
Bat man, who tastes bis finest wheat,
Should joy to lift his praises high.

Mk. Stephen li. Wells died in Columbus, Ga.,
July 30th, 1871, aged seventy six years and two
months.
He was born in Mt. Vcruon, Maine, and came
to Columbus nearly forty yeare ago, where he
lived and did business many years, being success
ful and unsuccessful by turus. He tbcu loft here
for a number of years, and resided in upper Geor-"
gla, but came back agalu some two years ago, to
die, being too old and infirm to engage in active
lile, having suffered for a stroke of
paralysis. In the days of bis strength, lie was en
ergetic, and a man of will and decided character.
His own account of himself was, that he was bent
on making a fortune, and lived a reckless life, for
getful of God. But in the midst of his career, the
preaching of the gospel by Dr. Fierce was carried
by the Spirit to his conscience, and he was power
fully convicted of sin, and led to seek salvation
through Christ, lie always said, that Dr. Pierce
“just dragged him, or forced him into the church
against_his wishes, for he wanted and iutcuded
trying to live outside; and that ho should never
cease to thank him for it, to all eternity.” Conse
quently, be had greater reverence and affection for
Dr. Pierce, than perhaps for any one else. He al
ways felt that lie had a hard nature to eonteud
with, and most heroically and earnestly did he
struggle for the mastery, and through grace, not
without the victory, lie was never wont to speak
very confidently of his religious experience, liut
always loved to talk with Christians about it, aud
at times iiis expressions were most earnest, anil
even exultant. During all the years of Ids physi
cal feebleness and inability, he had little else he
couiil do hut read his Bible, and religious books,
aud attend church, both of which he delighted in
very greatly. He had a full set of Clarke’s Com
mentaries which lie read regularly and diligently,
aud on the fly leaves of cariV' volume, lie noted
carefully the dates at which lie began and tinished
the reading of each volume at each perusal; and
throughout the six volumes lie made many mar
ginal notes anil comments. When he returned to
Columbus, he uuiteil with St. Paul’s Church, aud
was a most consistunt and faithful member. Old
and feeble as lie was, lie rarely failed to bo pres
ent at every church service, day or night, rain or
shine. And he seemed to appreciate aud enjoy
visits from his pastor and brethren, more than al
most any one wo ever knew. Some two months
before his death, he caught ids foot some way,
while walking the floor of Ids room and fell, and
dislocated his shoulder, and broke his thigh, from
which he suffered most excruciatingly U]« to his
death, and which doulitlesa led to it. He ex
pressed himself atjtiines during his sufferings, as
strong in faith in God, and as prepared and willing
to go; and on some occasions, even rejoiced at
the prospect. He is no doubt now at rest. He
leaves a widow auil live children for whom he felt
the deepest interest and concern while living,
and never ceased to pray. / A. M. W.
Major (Jiiaki.es Ik by Shelton was born in
Pittsylvania co, Va., and died on 19th Jnly, in
Telfair eo., Ga., iu the 84tii year of his age.
In the last war with (("cat was a
faithful soldier, was prisoner and can
England* and kept in prtaon for six months Hu
moved to Georgia tiftyfour years ago, and settled
in Telfair county, lie was a Deist until 1828,
when lie was traveling up the country and became
water-bound for a week. During his detention he
hid access to a line library and read tome rcli.
gious books, which aroused him to actions reflec
tion on the subject of religion. He entered ear
nestly upon the investigation of the authenticity
of the Scriptures, and sooif became jierfectly sat
isfied as to their divine origin. He immediately
commenced seeking the salvation of his soul und
soon obtained peace through repentance and faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ. He joined the Metho
dist Church about a year after his conversion, and
in a short time obtained license to preach. He
was married to Miss Jane Ashley Boyd, on Lie 2d
Oct., 1826. She' was a devoted and faithful wife
and did all in her power to contribute to his use
fulness and happiness. They raised a large and
interesting family. They lost three piomisingEons
in the Southern army during the late war. Major
Shelton possessed an uncommonly clear and vigo
rous mind. His reasoning was forcible and clear.
He retained his mental vigor in an astonishing
manner until a short time* before his death. All
his acquaintances esteemed him very highly, as a
minister and as a man, and his influence for good
was felt by all of them. He attended faithfully to
the discharge of his ministerial duties as long as
he could travel. For a little over four years pre
vious to his death lie was eonlincd to his bed, and
bore his affliction with great lesignation and pa
tienco. His devoted wife and children did all they
could to cheer and comfort him in his declining
years. During tho last eight years of his life it
was the privilege of the writer to have repeated
conversations with him in reference to his religious
feelings and and always found him
ready and willing to obey*]lie summsns. He wonld
talk with as much ealniuess and composure about
dying as about a trip to macou or Savannah, liis
faith was strong and unwavering. He was calm
and undismayed when called to puss the gates of
death. He has doubtless exchanged the sorrows
of earth for the joys of paradise. May his rela
tives and numerous friends imitate his good ex
ample while permitted to remain on earth and may
they at last meet him in that bright aud happy
land where sorrow and sighing shall forever cease,
and eternal joy and happiness lie the portion of all
God’s faithful children. A. C.
Mrs. Elizabeth M. Tyl.sk, daughter of tlie
late Dr. V. D. V. Jamison of 3. C., died in Co
lumbus, (ia., July 31st, W7l, aged 55 years.
She embraced religion, and joined the Metho
dist Church when- a -girl, and continued stead
fast in her Christian profession and life, until her
death. None kuew her hut to love her. Amica
ble, sweet-spiriteilj cheerful, and full of love and
Christian sympathy and charity, she tried to
make others happy and succeeded. Wherever
sickness or uilliction was known among any of
her friends, or even strangers, if in need, there she
was sure to be found, with sympathizing cheer
fulness, and patient experience, nursing, doing all
she could. Many in her church and community
will miss her kind ministrations, and the poor feel
her loss. To all the duties of her religion and
church, she was devoted and strictly faithful her
self, and ever urged all her family to similar con
sistency. Jfsheorany of her family whom she
could influence were ever absent from any service
of the sanctuary, public or social, the pastor well
knew some providential cause hindered, that
could not be overcome. “The heart of her hus
band did safely trust in her,” for ‘‘she did him
good and not evil alt the days of her life. She
looked well to the ways of her household and he
praiseth her. Her children arise np and call her
blessed, for she opened her mouth with wisdom ;
and in her tongue was the law of kindness.” Yea,
“her own works praise her in the gates." All
this was true of our sister as if she had set for the
wise man’s picture. Though she was subject to
severe aud sudden attacks, which often threatened
death, still when she did at last die, it was so un
expected aud comparatively sudden, that it was a
fearful shock to all. Such was its nature, that it
gave no oppoilunity for dying expressions. But
grateful as these might have been to her family,
they were unnecessary; for her life gave a more
satisfying expression still, than words could be.
She seemed to be living under premonitions of
her approaching end, and communed with God in
his word and by prayer accordingly; and at once
ceased to work and live. What a severing of
heart-strings, and what a loss to her family, none
but the bereaved ones can know, for as wife and
mother few excelled her. But, oh 1 what a
precious legacy her example, love and spirit, is to
them, now that she is gone. Her church deeply
deplores her loss,' Uut would submit to the will
Divine, feeling richer by her life.

Capt. Jsnows B. Fulton was bom in York
Disk, S. C., March Ist, 1830, and died in Peters
burg, Va., July 37th, 1871.
In October 1861, he married my sister, and I
thought I never saw a happier and a more hope
ful couple. They bid fair for a long anil prosper
ous life together. We propose, God disposes.
We, in our ignorance. God, iu wisdom. Con
tracting disease in the aimy iu Virginia, whither
he went as Captain of a Company at the very out
set of the war, his health constantly declined aud,
for the last several years of his life, he was a con
stant and very great sufferer. Capt. Fulton was,
iu many respects, a remarkable man. A well
balanced miud anil au evenly-poised character pre
pared him for popularity aud success in the busi
ness relations of life. His integrity, firmness aud
manfulness gained for him the good opinion of all
who came in contact with him, aud were bringing
their reward in the increasing prosperity which
attended the labors-of his hands. Though uuder
the influence of Christian precept and example, in
his early years, he yet put off a consideration of
the all important interests of hia soul until he was
about thirty years old, when God was pleased to
hear the prayers ami to acknowledge and sanctify
the active effortsof his devoted wife to his conver
sion to God. Thoughtfulness, consideration, re
pentance, faith, holiness, some how in this way
did his heart feel ils way to God. Turning his
hack on his sins, he turned his face fully to Christ
His faith was uot simply an act, hut a state. “ His
life was hid with Christ in God.” Avery short
time before liis death, lie moved to Petersburg,
Va. About a week Before lie died, lie wrote to me
expressing most beautiful Christian ri signution to
the will of God, anil great hopefulness as to the
future, lie lived just one week in his new home.
He died in great pain of body, hut in great peace
of mind. Willing to stay—ready to go, he has
fallen on sleep and is not, for God bus taken him.
My sister writes me. “ the day before lie died, lie
-praised God aloud and said lie was willing to go,
but felt sad at lea\ iug Willie and ine. He would
often sing one or two stanzas of tbe 513 hymn,
and loved to read the 3d chap, of the Ist Epistle
of John. When lie got happy he would speak so
beautifully of the golden streets anil the harps of
gold and the beauties of heaven.” He was buried
with Masonic rites in the city of Petersburg. Hero
his dust mingles with its kindred dust; hut his
soul has gone to the God who gave it. We shed
tears o’er liis grave, and yet smile through our
tears, and lo ! tho rainbow of hope spans our hori
zon. May we meet again and part no more for
ever! Samuel A. Weber.

Sister Elizabeth Sewell, relict of J. L. Sew
ell, died iu great peace in Meriwether co., Ga.,
June 29th, 1871.
She was born iu Gwinnett co., Ga., in 18tC, the
daughter of Zackeiy and Kebecca Lee of precious
memory. She was trained up in the way in which
she should go and when old she did nut depart
from it. Converted early in life she made a useful
member of the church, first at Rock Chapel,Gwin
nett co., and sfferwards at Prospect, Meriwether
co., during all her married and widowed life. For
many years she suffered with bronchial consump
tion, bu tfonnil that alllicaoi.s “ worked good for
her,” chastened her spirit, refined her graces, t-le
vatid her affections and made her character pccu
liaily impressive upon her children and neighbors.
Not ouly is Her scat at Piospect vacant, but the
church feels bereaved, oppressed by the shadow of
a great grief. Tiuly a mother in Israel has fallen.
Sister Sewell was faithful in ali the relations of
life, hut especially as a mother. Her hiißbnnd left
her while yet the children were small—leaving liut
scanty resources and involving the wiiplc burden
of rearing the large household upon her. She made
a heroic, successful struggle against disease and
poverty two mighty foes ; gave her children a fair
education and what is far better led them nearly
all to Clni-t. Although she died intestate in this
world’s good&, yet she bequeathed them all a no
ble legacy of counsels, prayers and faith with Hie
hallowed memory of a spotless life anil pure ex
ample. She endured her last sufferings “as see
ing him who is invisible.” Feeling that her end
was near she asked the physician to be candid and
tell her all. When assured that her lime was
short, she composedly gave directions to her Weep
ing children, about her temporal business and
tbeu lier funeral—she exhorted all nroLiul her lo
piety and one by one charged her children to meet
her in heaven. Then as life’s last duty was done
she leaned back upon her pillow and like a balie
upon its mother’s hie ist slie gently, sweetly fell
asleep in Jesus. R. F. Jonss.

twenty-four hours after the lirst symp
suddenly called, and only twelve years of age, she
was ready 1° To “laved onis" it is a deep
sadness to nionrii her early departure; but to her
an infinite joy to he spared the sorrows of earth,
and to enter so soon upon the eternal life in
heaven. She was a lovely child.
was a little pattern of industry. Cheerful aim
obedient,, she was alight in the bouse, and a com,
fort to her parents. Loving all, she was herself
’“loved of all.” Her earnest piety was as decided
as it was rare. The Bible was the “ book of all
books” to her. She loved it best, and read it
most. Often when missed from Hie fireside circle,
she could he found in the retirement of her room,
“ searching the Scriptures,” and communing with
God. Strango that one so young should be solemn
ly impressed with the conviction that her stay oil
earth wonld be brief; and yet slie often said so,
and was ever engaged in setting “ her house in
order.” Good bye, dear Alice, for a season. Thou

Mus. Makoaket A. Aonew, wife of John Ag
new, was born August 28th, 1816, and died of con
sumption in Walker co., Ga., July 19th, 1871.
She embraced religion and joined the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, in September, 1805. She
possessed unusual mildness of disposition. She
endured her sutlcriugs as seeing Him who is in
visible. She “smiled on death;” she feared not
the stroke, believing it to be beneficial. She was
a fond and devoted companion nnd mother. A
few moments before her spirit took its flight, she
called for her infant child. It was brought and
placed in her arms. Then followed the last bles
sing and farewell gaze of a dying mother—a scene
supaßSing)y touching. She loaves a heart-broken
husband and two children to contend with Uic
struggle and sorrows of life. She was Buried in
the family cemetery w ith her parents and other
dear ones who had preceded her “ to the land of
the hereafter.” Tlio burial service was performed
according to the Discipline. As we gazed upon
the forsaken shrine from which the soul was gone,
and paw it consigned to the cold repulsive caith,
we thought of Jesus and the resplendent glories
of tlie resurrection morn and were comforted.

Sister Maky E. Flemish was born February
20th, IS4O, aud died in Jeffcreon co., Ga, August
2lat, 1871.
She was converted in 1857, and joined the Meth
odist Church, and lived a consistent Christian life
up to the day of her death. She was sick for two.
.years with consumption. For several months pre
vious to her death, she was confined to her bed
but was never heard to complain. The writer of
this notice visited her often through the year and
she always seemed to be reconciled to the will of
God. The day beforc’slie died, I saw her and con
versed with her about her future prospects. She
said all was well—not a doubt on her mind, not a
cloud intervened between her and her Maker. The
last word she was heard to speak was, “Jesus is
coming,” then she fell asleep in Jesus. She died
as she bad lived a consistent Christian lady. Her
neighbors speak in the highest terms of her. She
leaves a husband to mourn her loss, but his loss is
her gain. R. W. Flounoy.
Sister Susan A. Downing, daughter of Jacob
aad Mary Smilie, was born in Montgomery co.,
Ala., Oct. 1833, and died in Alachua co., Fla.,
Sept. 15th, 1871.
She embraced religion and joined the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, in 1847. On the 80th
Jan. 1853, she was married to brother Tlios. W.
Downing, who still lives, with Iheir seven little
girls, to mourn her loss. She was at all times, a
consistent and devoted Christian. She was an
affectionate wife, a kind and patient mother. In
deed the virtues of a genuine Christian woman
were manifest in all the relations of life. Her ill
ness was protracted and painful, yet she suffered
with true Christian fortitude, expressing a perfect
willingness to " depart and he with Christ,”
where she might enjoy that inheritance which is
“incorruptible, nndelilcd and that fadoth not
away.” J. M. Stokes.
Miss Sakaii \Vi*cox, daughter of James D.
Wilcox deceased, and Caroline M. Wilcox, was
bom in Irwin county, Ga., March 27th, 1854, and
died August 25th, 1871, In Montgomery co., Ga.
She joined the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, in 1868, since which time she has lived as
becometh a servant of Christ, and was much loved
by those who knew her, was conscious to the last,
expressed perfect willingness to depart and be
with Christ. Thus she pasted away, iu the bloom
ofyontb, leaving an orphan brother, and siater,
with a widowed mother, to mourn their loss, but
not without hope. W. M. Kennedy.
