A DAY OF SUMMER BEAUTY.
Out in the golden Summer air,
Amid the purple heather,
A woman eat with drooping head,
And hands close-knit together;
Never a bitter word she said,
Though all her life looked cold and dead—
f old in the glowing haze that lay
Over the fair green earth that day,
That day of Summer beauty.
Far, far away, where leafy woods
Touched the sky, cloud-riven,
A thousands birds rang out life’s bliss
In jubilee to heaven;
How could the poor, old, withered throat
Carol echoes to each soft note!
3?very soul must pay life’s cost —
Her deepest silence praised 'tod most,
That day of Summer beauty.
Too dulled her soul, too worn to feel
Summer delight acutely;
While earth was praising God aloud,
Her patience praised him mutely.
Her narrow life of thought and care
Not life to live, but life to bear;
> nntented that her soul was sad,
While all God’s soulless things were glad,
That day of Summer beauty.
And where she stayed, a dusty speck
In gorse and heather glory,
A weary spirit watched and read
The pathos of her story;
A spirit, donbt-oppresserl and worn,
Had found another more forlorn,
That, trustful, stayed, nor sought to guess
Life’s meanings, which are fathomless,
Through all the Summer heauty.
Good Wards.

LULA’S MISSION.
BY HESA.
How many of my little friends have ever
witnessed a death-bed scene; the grim mon
ster as he draws the scythe to lay the
victim low ; the struggles, and groans, as
the clammy dews burst forth on the marble,
icy brow?
But although death is dreaded by all in a
natural sense, yet it is often welcomed as a
deliverer, a from the evils and wickedness
a depraved world. The heart is often so
saddened by affliction and grief, that it wel
comes death as an open gate to abetter and
a brighter world.
So it was by Mrs. Lassiter, a widow lady,
living alone with an only child, a sweet lit
tle girl, scarcely nine years old. She was a
pale, sad-looking lady, with a patient, re
signed look, that indicated great sorrow, but
softened by the consolation of religion, and
faith in God. She had come suddenly to
the quiet little village of Brownsville, and
secured a small house for herself and child,
then a toddling little creature scarce three
years old. By her needle, and other employ
ments, she managed to eke out a comforta
bleliving, although the many tempting luxu
ries and delicacies that are lavishly bestow
ed on the rich, were denied her little blue
eyed Lula.
The Christian influence of Mrs. Lassiter,
was soon felt, and her pure example imitated
to a great degree. A lady of great in
tellect and well cultivated mind, she could,
and did carefully instruct her child at home,
for she was not able to afford the expense
of sending to the village school; and besides,
her little darling Lula was of such a sensi
tive organization, she shrauk from exposing
her to the often rude and inconsiderate re
marks of school children. But nevertheless,
at the age of nine Lula is a universal favorite;
all loving the intelligent, thoughtful, and af
fectionate child.
The seed of disease that had been laying
dormant, has now germinated, and Mrs.
Lassiter lies dying. The scythe in the skel
eton hand at last descends,and she lies dying
in the triumph of Christian faith, perfectly re
signed to lay down her armor, and theburden
of life; willing to leave her unprotected child,
to the care of that Being who “heareth the
young ravens when they cry.”
But a spasm of pain convulsed her brow
as she beheld the weeping child almost heart
broken, kneeling by her bedside. Feebly
laying her transparent hand on her bowed
head, she tremulously said:
“My child, my darling Lula, do not weep
so my precious one. I grieve to leave you be
hind to battle with the world alone; for in it
are many pitfalls, and thorns growing in the
path of life. I would if it was my Savionr’s
will, fold you in my arms and bear you safe
ly over the dark liiver and lay you at his
feet. But he wills it not so. You have a
mission, a work to do on earth, or else you
would not be spared. Listen, my child, I
have a story to tell you ere I die. I would
never before reveal my sad history, for I
did not want your young life clouded by the
sable pall that enveloped mine, although
now, on my dying bed, I thank God that I was
permitted to endure affliction, for through it
I was brought to see my own wickedness,
and dependance. Raise me up my darling,
and give me a sip of wine, I feel my
strength is fast failing.”
“Long years ago when I first married your
father, we were rich and happy, we loved
each other fondly, and life seemed all bright
ness before us. But about a year afterwards,
a cloud scarce larger than a man’s hand,
appeared in our horizon, and that cloud,
my daughter, was the wine cup. I saw Har
ry’s growing fondness for it, but it gave me
no particular uneasiness, until you were
born, and I saw with alarm that too often he
remained until very late, reveling with his
friends ; and great was my humilation and
sorrow, when my noble husband was brought
to me in a state of intoxication.”
“I will not relate the scene that occurred,
fop we were both passionate, and I often
think that if I had acted differently, my in
fluence over him would have been greater.
Neither will I my child, enumerate the times
he broke away, resolving to reform. But the
serpent that lurks in the ruby wine was fas
cinating, and he fell. Matters grew from bad
to worse. The affectionate husband and fond
and devoted father became a peevish domes
tic tyrant. Soon having to sell our home to
satisfy creditors, we were compelled to move
to a hovel, and to drink the dregs of poverty-
You soon learned to talk, and often I was
shocked, to hear bitter oaths uttered by you,
having heard them all your life from your
father and from his friends.”
“One night I fled with you in my arms,
covered with bruises, inflicted, by my infuri-
ated husband, resolving to leave him and
come here with you. Several months after
wards I learned that a man by his name had
committed murder.and was placed in a felon’s
cell. I have often desired to find him, but
feared he would wrench you from my arms.
And thus for years I have not seen or heard
from him. He may be dead, but something
seems to tell me he is yet alive.”
“And now, oh ! my child, this is the mis
sion I ask you to perform. Search for him,
and, if alive, endeavor to bring him back to
honor, and perhaps through your instrumen
tality he may turn to the living God. Fare
well my child, may the blessed Jesus be your
friend.” And the meek Christian passed
away, leaving the bereaved child to com
mence her mission of finding her father, and
then trying to win him back to the paths
of honor and temperance.
The mother was buried in the old Church
yard, and Lula taken to a kind lady’s house,
as her home. But one morning Lula was
missing, and great consternation prevailed
in the village. Nowhere could she be found,
and at last it was decided that she was
drowned, as it was her habit to walk alone
to a stream near where their little cottage

MAKING BUTTER FROM ONE COW.
Many people in the city, town or village,
keep a cow, and as it is of the utmost im
portance to them to be able to obtain milk
and butter in the winter season, a time when
they are dearest and most difficult to obtain,
while at the same time food for the animals
costs but little (if any) more in winter than
summer, they prefer, or at least ought to
prefer, having a cow to calve in the fall rath'
er than in the spring. But they often find a
difficulty in the way of success to obtain
good butter, either from want of knowledge
or from the carelessness of servants. First
place, the cow should be fed on good clover
hay, and get besides, abundance of water,
a little salt twice a week, and in addition,
from one to two quarts per day of some grain.
The grain should, if possible, be crushed or
ground whole, mixed with water, and given
in the form of a thick drink. Now for the
case of the milk. When it is brought in from
the cow, as much as is wanted for breakfast
or tea should be put by, the rest strained in
to small, shallow tin pans ; one pan full of
milk is then placed on top of another full of
hot water, on the stove. Let it stand till the
milk is just scalded, no more; then remove
to a place where it can cool down, but not
get too cold. The cream will rise and cover
the milk with a thick coat that can almost be
lifted unbroken; before taking the cream
from the milk, sprinkle a little of the finest
dairy salt over it. Put the cream in a stone
ware cream crock, holding about a gallon.
As soon as that is nearly (or quite) full, it
should be placed near a stove to get slowly
warmed up to a temperature of Go to 70 deg.
stirring it occasionally ; as soon as warmed
enough, it is to be churned ; and the butter
may be expected to come in ten, fifteen, or
twenty minutes. Care must be taken that
the cream is not kept over too long before
being churned, or the butter will be apt to
taste bitter, a very common fault with that
made at farm houses in winter; from keep
ing aoth milk and cream in cold damp cel
lars instead of moderate temperature. It is
an easy matter, and requires very little ex
tra trouble, to get good butter in winter,
where but two cows are kept, if the hang of
the thing, as some would say, i3 once prop
erly understood and carried out. And a
good cow—no one should keep a cow in
town unless she is a first rate one —will give
far more than will compensate twice over
for her cost of keep and trouble given, in the
plentiful supply of-wholesome milk for the
children—so much to be preferred to that
swill stuff carried rouud by milkmen—and
rich, sweet, fresh butter for the table. The
great point to secure success in winter but
ter-making, is to feed the cow well, keep
her clean and comfortable, and get the cream
thoroughly warmed to G 8 degs. before put
ting into the churn. — Canada Farmer.
BEE-RAISING.
Bees are as useful as chickens, and as easily
raised. They afford us a luxurious food;
healthy, and might be cheap. Bees need
little feeding, little expense and attention.
They want only a comfortable home, cover
ed from the storm and sun, and protected
from the marauding miller. They will make
their own living, and do considerable to
ward the living of the farmer. Not many
swarms can be kept prosperously in one
place, but every farmer may raise honey for
home use and a little to spare. Every gard
ener, every villager might do it. A single
swarm of bees, well attended to, will soon
produce as many swarms as can be success
fully kept in one place. All that bees make
is clear gain. They get their treasure from
the flowers. We should have bees enough
in the country to have one always sipping
at every flower. The flower is all the time
producing honey. The bee should be all
the time gathering it. If we had a bee all
the time at every flower, honey enough
would be procured to supply the world It
is a means of health, wealth, and pleasure.
Let bees he cultivated ; let every farmer have
them. They are as useful as cows, and far
less troublesome. A little attention will
teach one to manage them.— Rural Sun.
Fancy Farmers. —No class of men have
been ridiculed so much, and there are none
that have done so much good, as those who
are denominated fancy farmers. They have
been, in all times and countries, the beue
factors of the men who have treated them
with derision. They have been to farmers
what inventors have been to manufacturers.
They have experimented for the good of the
world, while others have simply worked for
their own good. They tested theories while
others have raised crops for market. They
have given a dignity and glory to the occupa
tion of farming it never had before.
Fancy farmers have changed the wild boar
into the Suffolk and Berkshire ; the wild bull
of Britain into the Shorthorn ; the mountain
sheep, with its lean body and hair fleece,
into the Southdown and the Merino. They
have brought up the milk of cows from pints
to gallons. They have lengthened the sirloin of
the bullook, deepened the udder of the cow,
enlarged the ham of the hog, given strength
to the shoulder of the ox, rendered finer the
wool of the sheep, added fleetness to the
speed of the horse, and made beautiful every
animal that is kept in the service of man.
They have improved and hastened the devel
opment of all domestic animals, till they
hardly resemble the creatures from which
they sprang. —Chicago Times.
Delicate Apple Pudding. — Scald or
steam, and then pound in a marble mortar,
or grate, as many sour apples as will fill
your pudding dish about three inches deep.
Stir to the apple the grated rind of one
lemon or orange, and sweeten to your taste
before putting it in your dish. Mix half a
pint of milk with the same quantity of cream,
and the beaten yolk of one egg. Scald these
together, stirring all the time. Do not let it
boil. Sweeten ; take from the fire and set
aside till cold, then pour over the apple.
Finish by spreading over the top nicely
whipped cream or frosting. One or two
nice oranges thinly sliced, seeds removed,
cut in small pieces, and mixed with the ap
ple, is even nicer than the grated rind of
either lemon or orange.
Summer Fruits. —The hygienic effects of
summer fruits cannot be well overstated.
The cravings of the system for vegetable
acids are a natural indication "of the necessi
ty to the human organism. This is pecu
liarly the case on the approach of the sum
mer solstice; and at the very season when
nature comes to the rescue, offering the ear
ly fruits which are characterized by that
happy admixture of the saccharine and the
aciduous principles which render them so
universally acceptable to out palates. The
digestive apparatus accepts the grateful off
erings, and fortunately there are few excep
tions to the axiom which may be announced:
That well-ripened fruits, when freshly gath
ered, are among the most wholesome arti
cles of the materia alimentaria.
Borax Used in Washing. —Quarter of a
pound of refined borax to five gallons of wa
ter ; powder the borax ; dissolve it in boiling
water in the above preparation, and use. It
is an excellent bleacher, and may be used
for the most delicate laces even ; it also saves
soap. A little pipe clay, dissolved in the
hot water, cleans very dirty linen with half
the soap required without it.

Sidxey Toxey was born in Forsyth, Mon
roe county, Ga., August 26, 1847 ; and died
at the same place, May 21, 1876.
Blessed with a kind-hearted father and a
deeply pious mother, and favored with pro
per Sabbath-school instructions, he grew to
manhood under strong and abiding convic
tions of divine truth, and with no little con
cern about the salvation of his soul. He
had a very high regard for parental author
ity, and was ever obedient and affectionate
as a son. He had a brave heart, and was a
faithful soldier in the cause of his country.
When the struggle was over, he returned to
His native State, and on the 6th of February,
1868, was married in* Doughterty county,
Ga., to Miss Annie Patat, formerly of Sa
vannah. His wife was a pious member of
the Baptist Church, and on the 16th of Au
gust of the same year, having found peace
in believing, he united with his wife in
Church fellowship in Baker county, under
the ministry of Rev. W. H. Clark, and lived
and died a consistent and highly esteemed
member of the Baptist Church. Brother
Toney was a man of fine moral character,
and of good business qualifications, and
won for himself many warm and true friends.
For some years before his death he suffered
from consumption. During my stay in For
syth it was my privilege to visit and pray for
him in some of his spells of prostration, and
I always found him calm and peaceful, firm
ly trusting in God. His faith never faltered
and his end was triumphant. From Friday
evening until Sunday morning, between eight
and nine o’clock, when his happy spirit took
its flight, signs of spepdy disssolution were
evident to himself and all around him. On
Sunday morning his pastor, Dr. Hillyer,
whom he loved very much, was sent for.
Finding that he was fast sinking, he deliver
ed his dying charge to his family, relatives
and friends present, and exhorted them all to
meet him in heaven. He kissed his three
children an affectionate farewell, and assured
his wife that Jesus was precious to his soul
He asked those present to sing for him, and
said “Jesus can make a dying bed, Feel soft
as downy pillows are.” “Sing,” said he,
“ ‘There is a happy land, Far, far away.’ ”
This request being complied with, he said,
“I am going now,” and again bade all an af
fectionate farewell ; and said, “ I’ll soon be
at rest.” The last words uttered by him
were, “ The beautiful river.” These beau
tiful words were sung to cheer him to the
other shore. Just before he breathed his
last Ms wife said to him, if you feel that
Jesus is precious to your soul, press my hand,
lie pressed her hand, and fell asleep in
Jesus. Thank God for such testimony!
May all his loved ones meet him in heaven.

Mrs. Anx Wilder was born in Onslow
county, N. C., February 6, 1794; moved to
Florida in 1824; and died in Quincy, Fla.,
June 25, 1876.
She and her husband were among the
earliest white inhabitants of this country,
and made the first settlement where Quincy
now stands, several years before the town
was laid out. She was, at her death, the
oldest inhabitant, and perhaps the oldest
person in the place. For forty years she
had been a faithful and exemplary member
of the Methodist Church. She loved the
Church. Before she was prevented by age
and infirmity she was constantly at her place
in the house of God ; and though for sev
eral years she was debarred the privilege of
public worship, her heart was ever with
God's people in the sanctuary. She was
always glad when the ministers and other
Christian people would visit her, to talk
about religion, read the Scriptures, and pray
with her. On these occasions she would
often become very happy and shout the
praises of God. It was indeed a privilege
to visit her. I have often felt my soul
strengthened by the triumphant faith of this
aged pilgrim. As she had opportunity she
was kind and charitable, and many of the
poor will bear her in grateful remembrance.
She brought up with a mother’s care quite a
number of orphan children. Her greatest
desire was to see the last of these able to
care for themselves. This desire was grati
fied ; and having faithfully met this last ob
ligation, she felt that her life-work was done.
For some time before her death she was a
great sufferer, and expected at any moment
to be called away. But she looked upon
death as a happy release from her sufferings,
and often when speaking of her approaching
decease wonld exclaim, “ What wait I for?”
There was indeed nothing more in life to
make her wish to stay. She was ready for
death, and feared not its terrors. On the
holy Sabbath she calmly, peacefully, passed
away. She has entered into the rest that
“ remaineth to the people of God.” And
as we committed her body to the earth, we
truly felt that for her, “ death was gain.”

Mrs. Matilda Lundy was born in Hous
ton county, Ga., March 27th, 1843; married
Mr. Alexander Lundy February 15th, 1870 ;
and died in Greene co., Ga., June 26, 1876.
She was converted at Fort Valley in 1867,
or 1868, and joined the M. E. Church,
South, and in after life, exemplified the
genuineness of the work by a consistent life.
Possessing naturally a kind heart, which was
sanctified by the grace of God, she gathered
around her many warm friends. It was only
to know her to admire her. She was faith
ful in all the relations of life —as a wife she
was all a grief-stricken husband could de
sire. In the Sunday-school she was an effi
cient worker, and the superintendent re
marked at her funeral, that to a large extent
it was through her zeal that the Sunday
school was kept up through the winter
months. Asa member of the Church, she
was full of zeal, always in her place when
it was possible for her to attend. She was
ill for several weeks, and bore all her suffer
ings with Christian patience. It was thought
best by her physician to move her from her
home, and her last days were spent at the.
house of Dr. Albert Jernigan. A short
time before her death she said to her friends
—“ I am almost gone —blessed thought;”
“ I will soon be done suffering; ” expressed
gratitude to her friends for their attention,
and then quietly passed away to the “ rest
that remaineth to the people of God.” S.
Philip M. Boyd was born in Bradly coun
ty, Tenn., March 24, 1852 ; and died at the
same place June 27, 1876.
He was a model boy and young man. His
older brother remarked to me that he had nev
er heard him use an ugly expression, or any
sort of by-word, and that he was always in
a good humor. Unlike most young men, he
preferred the society of old, or religious per
sons. Toward the close of the late bloody
war his father was killed, and from that
time Philip assiduously devoted himself to
the service of his mother and sisters. None
could be more devoted to a mother than was
he. Yet when visited by the sickness which
terminated his life, he had not made a satis
factory profession of religion ; but several
weeks before he died, he sought the Lord
with all his heart, and was powerfully con
verted. With calmness and resignation he
talked about dying. I was with him often
during his illness, and never have I seen
one more resigned to the Divine will, nor
more confident of eternal happiness. Iwo
weeks before he died I received him into the
Church. Doubtless it is well with him now.

Mr. Jesse B. Huxter was born in Wash
ington county, Erst Tennessee, September
17, 1805; married Miss M. C. Rutledge of
Blacksburg,Va., November 11, 1836; moved
to Mississippi in 1837; joined the Methodist
Church in 1841; moved to Micanopy, Alach
ua county, Fla., in 1850; and died June 8,
1876.
He was county surveyor for many years,
and will be remembered by many as the pio
neer surveyor who marked out the site of
Gainesville. He moved to Orange Springy
Marion county, Fla., in 1856, where he pery
manently located and pursued his vocation
as mechanic. He was a good neighbor,
one of rare stamp ; one who would minister
to the wants of the stranger as well as to
those of his best friends. Whether the
world went well or ill with him, he was al
ways cheerful and happy and tried to make
all around him pleasant and agreeable. He
was blessed in living to see his children (four
girD and five boys) all nearly grown. They
and their mother—excepting one who was
far in the West—were around his death-bed
ministering to his wants with peculiar at
tention and the tenderest care. When the
Bridegroom came he was not asleep and his
lamp untrimmed. On his last birth day hfe
approached the breakfast, table, and before
being seated, said to his family that that
would be the last birth day breakfast he
would be allowed to eat with them ; that his
three score and ten years had passed, and he
was quietly waiting the summons. How
true the prediction 1 How cheerful, how
trustful that heart must have been to be
“ quietly waiting.” When the long lookqd*
for summons came it found him ready to de
part. He bore his affliction with Christian
fortitude to the end, which was peace. He
was fearless and joyful to the close of life.
He is now with Christ. That Saviour whom
he loved so dearly and served so long, has
wiped all tears from his eyes, and in the joy
of His presence he forgets the trials and
troubles of the journey. Let us follow his
example as he followed his Master, thaj like
him, we may be ready to meet death with a
cheerful smile. S.

My son, William Archer Adams, died
June 21st, 1876, at the age of twenty-three
years.
Before his sickness was considered dan
gerous, he stated to me his impression that
the attack would result fatally, and no argu
ments or assurances in the least affected his
settled conviction. He requested that absent
members of the family should be sent for,
and gave some directions as to his burial.
He stated that he had tried to live right, and
that his Church membership and regular etSf
tendance, his attention to prayers, and his
recent connection with both a morning and
evening Sabbath school, were not for mere
show, but were sincere and intended to let
all know that he was on God’s side ; that he
was resigned and prepared to die, and felt it
hard only to leave his brother unconverted.
When the unequal contest with disease was
near its close, he called for certaiu appro
priate songs, and joined in the singing with
feeble but distinct voice, and with face radi
ant with joy. He called on my sainted
father, as though he saw him present, to
lead in prayer, and he evidently engaged in
and enjoyed prayer and praise as was wont
with him in health. He finally passed away,
gently as the breeze when the storm is past.
Of course I can only remember his many
virtues, and forget his few faults—themselves
the excess of virtues —but I have long con
sidered him the most disinterested, obliging,
and sympathetic person in my acquaintance
—the tenderest son to his mother—tbf
dutiful to his father—the most devoted to his
sisters. His parents cannot remember an
act of disobedience or a hasty word of tem
per to us, in all his life. He honored his
father and mother, loved the Church, the
ministry, all good people and enterprizes,
and we believe God has rewarded him—not
with length of days here, but wiih eternal
life in the better land. Asbury A. Adams.
Mbs. M. A. Davis was botn in Camden,
S. C., August 14, 1818; and died near Flor
ence, S. C., April 27, 1870.
She was at the time of her death widowed
for the third time. Her maiden name was
Dean. She was first married to Dr. W. S.
Murphy; after his death, to Mr. S. P. Coop
per; and subsequently to Mr. P. F. Davis.
For a number of years she was a resident of
Darlington, and a faithful member of the M.
E. Church, South, at that place. In 1858
she removed to Jacksonville, Fla., and re
mained until the opening of the late war.
She then returned to Charleston, and
was her home until a few years before her
death. In all these places she was well
known, and beloved for her many good qual
ities. Her whole life was a beautiful exam
ple of Christian faith—of charity, patience,
and endurance. A great sufferer, she bore
her affliction in silent submissiveness. Her
generosity was not confined to any denomi
nation, but her home was open alike to all
servants of God. In the days of prosperity
her house was always the home of one Or
more orphan children. Some of those reaped
and educated by her, remained with her as
long as she was permitted to live in her own
home. Failing health demanded a change,
and she came to Florence. Her death wa.i a
glorious triumph. She often spoke of the
swefet rest she anticipated, and sa td mere
than once, “I am ready when the Maser
calls.” She entreated her friends to meet
her on the “ bright eternal shores,” and her
dying words wefe a message to an absent and
loved daughter. “Tell her,” she said, “not
to neglect to live close to God. She has
been a dutiful child here, and I want to em
brace her there. She must not grieve lor
me. lam perfectly ready, and happy to go
to my Saviour.” Then, without a struggle,
this beautiful life passed out of its frail tem
ple, to join the waiting throng in that land
where “ the weary are at rest.” E. C. C.
Antonia H. Mitchel, daughter of Francis
and Marv B. Kirby, was born in Morgan
county in 1826; married G. T. Mitchel in
1853 ; and died in Floyd county near Coosa
River April 25, 1876.
Through the religious training of her ex
cellent parents she was converted in early
life and joined the Methodist Church, of
which she was a faithful and exemplary
member until her death. Of a strong and
well-balanced mind, she exerted a salutary
and restraining influence on her household
Next to the Bible, in which she was well
versed, her reading consisted mostly of Wes
ley’s Sermons, Clark’s Commentaries, and
Memoirs of Carvosso. During the greater
part of her life she enjoyed good health, but
it pleased her heavenly Father to lay his
hand upon her and cause her to pass through
the fiery furnace. For more than tliree
years she lay upon the bed of languishing
and pain, yet not a word of complaint was
heard to escape her lips against Him who
“points the clouds their course,” and who
“ doeth all things well. Some time before
she died she selected the text from which she
desired her funeral sermon preached : “ Be
hold I have refined thee, but not with silver;
I have chosen thee in the furnace of afiiic
tion.” She exemplified the religion of the
Bible in her active life, upon the bed of suf
fering, and in her death. Few persons have
ever been called to suffer as did our beloved
sister, but grace triumphed over pain, and
enabled her to hold fast to her profession,
and to say, “ O death where is thy sting ' 0
grave where is thy victory?” Some few
days before she died she called her family
around her bedside and gave each one her
dying counsel and bade them farewell. She

her consistent Christian life that their loss
is her eternal gain. May they be enabled,
through grace, to meet her in the better
land. I. N. Wilsox.
Rev. James Gault was born in Union
county, S. C., January 7, 1810; was con
verted and joined the M. E. Church in Octo
ber, 1838 ; was licensed to exhort in 1840,
and to preach November, 1867 ; and died
June 25, 1876.
His early education was very limited ; but
his mind was naturally strong, and being
supported by a sound body, he was pre"
pared for considerable mental improvement
when he entered upon his official course in
the Church; and although much hindered
by secular duties—he having no other means
of support than his own labor —he was
sound in doctrine and often expressed, in
his original way, some rich truths in his
sermons and exhortations which have long
been remembered by those who heard him.
He was strictly industrious and frugal, al
ways possessing a happy spirit, and never
speaking evil of but one thing— evil. He
hated sin but he loved the sinner. He was
reared, lived, and died in one coummunity,
and every one who knew and ever spoke of
him said he was a good man. During his
last illness, which continued for more than
a year, I visited him several times, and al
ways found him with bright hopes and strong
faith. Several times just before his death
he said he was ready to die. He spoke
words of love to us concerning his brethren
in Jonesville Circuit, and specially those of
Wesley Chapel Church, where, as long as
he was able, he preached. Brother Gault
was not at all emotional in his religion, but
his light was always shining, so that “though
dead he yet speaketk.” Thus a good man
lived, and thus in triumph he died. May
his many relatives live his life of righteous
ness, and die his death of triumph.
J. B. Wilsox.
Mrs. Wixfred Hogax, wife of James Ho
gan, and daughter of Roily and Keziah
Wood, was born in Chester District, S. C.,
in 1810; married in 1851; and died in Paul
ding county, Ga., April 18, 1876.
She professed religion in 1859 and joined
the Church in 1860, under the ministry of
Rev. Clayborn Trussel, and continuing stead
fast in the faith and grounded in love, she
kept the vows then entered into until she
was called to her reward. Hgr last illness
continued for three months, but in the
strength and love of her Saviour she bore
it in meek and humble submission to the will
of her Father. About three days before her
death she said to a friend who was with her
—“ My dear bro’her, I will be at rest Tues
day evening, and free from this suffering,”
and when Tuesday evening came she called
her friends, her husband, and children, to
her bedside, and after telling them good-bye
she gave them an exhortation to meet her
in heaven, and then calmly folding her
arms upon her breast, fell asleep in the arms
of Jesus. She leaves a husband and two
children to mourn her loss, but they are not
as those who have no hope, for they feel
that their loss is her gain. Living with Je
sus she found that he was with her even to
the end. May our kind Father comfort the
bereaved family and help them so to live
that their last end may be like hers.

Mr. C. J. Cobb died in Live Oak, Fla.,
June 24, 1876, aged twenty-four years.
He has left a large circle of friends, and
gone to become a citizen of the New Jerusa
lem, and to unite in singing glad anthems to
the God he loved. His death was bemoaned
by all who knew him. He joined the Meth
odist Church several years since, and has
led such a truly pious and exemplary life
that his Christianity was questioned by none.
He was kind and obliging, cheerful and
happy, persevering and untiring, young and
noble; always giving cheer wherever he
went, %ven to the saddest heart. He was
also an active officer of the Christian Associ
ation and Sabbath-school, always perform
ing his duties in such a zealous manner as to
give entire satisfaction to others, and reflect
honor upon himself. He has indeed won
for himself unfading laurels; and his words
and deeds of kindness, and the many lessons
of good that he has faithfully endeavored to
instil into the hearts of the young, cannot
fail to bring forth blessed results. He has
sown his seed, gathered and garnered his
sheaves, and gone forth to receive his re
ward. He has borne the cross, and he shall
surely wear the crown. M. A. Coxxer.
Miss Jui.i*. A. Harris, daughter of A. G.
and S. J. Harris, was born August 6, 1857 ;
and died June 26, 1876.
She, with three of her sisters, was convert
ed and joined the Church in 1874, at Level
Creek Church ; and from then till her death
she was always in her place at Church and
Sunday-school. She was meek and retiring,
making no great pretensions or loud profes
sions, but quietly and meekly endeavoring to
obey the Master —never fretting or murmur
ing. She was always a good, obedient
daughter, but especially after her conver
sion was it noticeable. She was sick only
about nine days, and was not thought to be
dangerously ill until a day or two before her
death. About two hours before she died
she spoke as though talking to someone un
seen by those around her dying bed, and
said, “Take me home;” aDd soon she
passed to her eternal home. Showing no
signs of fear, saying she had thought of dy
ing before, without a murmur she fell
asleep in Jesus. This is a sore bereavement
to the surviving loved ones, this being the
first time a physician was ever needed in their
family. May God bring the entire family to
Julia’s home. M. H. Eakes
Joseph W. Gunnin, son of Nathan and
Mary Gunnin, was born August 15, 1855 ;
and died April 21, 1876, near Mikesville,Co
lumbia county, Fla.
He had just attained to manhood when
cut down by the relentless hand of death.
Though the younger of two brothers, the
care of the family devolved in part upon
him, and nobly did he fill the responsible
position in which the providence of God
had placed him. Asa son he was ever duti
ful to his widowed mother; as a brother
affectionate and kind; and as a young man
just entering society, his gentleness, courte
ousness, and affability of manners, endeared
him to all who enjoyed the pleasure of his
acquaintance. His last illness was short,
during which he sought, and we hope ob
tained, the pardon of his sins. We trust
that his immortal spirit was purified by the
blood of Jesus, and is now happy in the
mansions of the blessed. S. E. Phillips.
Tribute of Respect.
We, the members of the Quarterly Con
ference of Jonesville Circuit, South Carolina
Conference, herein give expression of our
appreciation and love of Rev. James Gault,
who for many years lived and labored among
us :
Resolved 1, That in the death of brother
Gault we lose a faithful member of this body
—a man of sterling integrity and consistent
piety.
2. That we tender our heartfelt sympathy
to the bereaved family, and commend them
to God’s grace, which is sufficient for them.

ON THE FIRST DAY OF M iY. 1876 •‘THE
CHARLESTON PUBLISHING COMPANY”
will issue the first number of a Daily Morning
Newspaper to be called
“THE JOI HNA L OF COMMERCE.”
This newspaper, as its name indicates, will de
vote a large portion of its space and influence to
the development and extension of the Local Com
merce of the. City of Charleston, and the general
improvement of the material interests of South
Carolina. It will endeavor to represent, in a
faithful and enlightened manner, the best ele
ments of the community, in which it looks for
patronage, socially, industrially, and politically.
It is the aim of the projectors to make it highly
and equally valuable to the family, the voter, the
merchant, the farmer, and manufacturer, and to
fulfil, as far as possble, every requirement of an
advanced modern Journal. Its news columns will
be supplied with the latest and best information
attainable, and special care will be bestowed upon
the preparation and elaboration of its market re
ports.
Its columns will always be open to communica
tions of a proper character from responsible par
ties, and the redress of public wrongs and griev
ances, will always find in it a willing and sympa
the ic medium.
In politics, TIIE JOURNAL OF COMMERCE
will be Democratic; keeping abreast of the most
advanced and progressive views of the party. And
in its financial policy, advocating the speediest
possible return of the country to a inetalic curren
cy, consistent with the safety of its business inter-
Three editions of THE JOURNAL OF COM
MERCE will be printed—a daily edition, which
will be printed every morning, except Sunday; a
semi-weekly edition, which will be printed on
Tuesdays and Fridays, and a weekly edition,
which will be printed on Saturdays. These edi
tions will be delivered by carriers to city tubscri
bers, or sent through the mails to non-city sub
scribers, postpaid, at the following rates:
Daily, strictly in advance $8 00
Semi Weekly, in advance 4 00
Weekly, in advance 2 00
As THE JOURNAL OF COMMERCE will start
with the assured countenance and support of the
business community of Charleston, and with a
large subscription list, already ootained, it is obvi
ous that it will be able to offer unusual inducements
toadvertisers. Circulating in nearly every commer
cial establishment, and read in nearly every home
circle in the City, and appealing to a large and
constantly increasing country patronage, its col
umns will furnish the best of means for our citi
zens to make their business wants known to each
other and so the world.
Advertising rates will be made known upon ap
