“ LIKE THE RAINBOW OF SUMMER.”
In Memory of Mrs. On Hie L. Smith.
JiV MRS. ELIZABETH O. PANNELLY.
Gone a the rainbow f&deth,
Like a mist from the roseate skies ;
Gone like a dream, like a vision.
As ever the bemtiful dies ;
Leaving a sense of sadness
In the loss of the good and the true ;
We miss from the arching heavens
The bow in its matchless hue.
As the rainbow, in colors so varied,
Adorns the cerulean dome.
So, her virtues, tho* brighter and fadeless,
Encircled her beautiful home.
As the bow only oorrows its beauty
From the rays of the dazzling sun,
So her virtues were but a reflection
From the face of the “ Crucified One.”
She *? gone a the rainbow fadeth
From the gaze of admiring eyes ;
Yet hope, like that -token” of promise,
Still brightens our dark’ning skies:
For she dwells wh-re a halo of glory
Like the bow ever circles the throne ;
Where nothing is transient *> r fleeting ;
Where Jesus receiveth his “ own.**

THE YOUNG ASTRONOMER.
SEPTEMBER 19.
To-night, at eight o’clock, the Moon wil!
be in Aquarius, a few degrees south of the
triangle of little stars forming his Water Pot.
To morrow night at this hour, she will be
still in Aquarius. A straight line from Mars
then towards the North Star, will pass near
ly over the western side of the great Square
of Pegasus. The Moon and the planets Mars
and Saturn will make a fine picture Ihe
Moon passes a few degrees above the planets.
On Friday evening the Moon will be in the
constellation Pisces, a very few degrees from
that unmarked, but remarkable spot in the
sky from which Astronomers count longitude.
A straight line from the Moon, then, toward
the North Star will pass through the Great
Square, and when near the North Star, will
pass a little to the West of Cassiopeia. Low
down in the South, below the Moon, you can
find Fomalhaut, the eye of the Southern
Fish, the only bright star in that portion of
the sky. A straight line from the Moon to
the southern point of the horizon, will pass a
little west of the tail of the monstrous Whale,
which at an early hour is now rising in the
East. Looking overhead you can see now a
fine group of striking constellations, Lyra,
Northern Cross, Eagle, and Dolphin. They
are assuredly there, whether you know them
or not. J. H. C.
A STORY FOR THE LITTLE FOLKS.
PANTS [
Something mysterious was going on. That
night, when Tommy climbed into his crib,
mamma told him that when he waked in the
morning be would find something very nice
in the chair beside it. lie thought it would
he very hard to wait so long, hut it, only
seemed a minute or so before he waked up
and heard the robins singing wilh ail their
might out in ihe cherry trees. Mamma was
brushing her hair, moving about very softly
so as not to wake baby, and Tommy sat right
up and loolfhd about him, rubbing his eyes
with his fat fists. Sure enough, there was
“ something" on the chair where he had left
his plaid dress and ruffled panties. Anew
dress? No, not a dress at all, but the pret
tiest little suit —jacket and pants of soft, gray
cloth, buttoned with shining pearl buttons,
and trimmed with braid. Tommy could
hardly believe his eyes, but he was on the
floor in a twinkle, laughing and chuckling,
and trying to put his pants right on over his
long night-gown.
“ Just like a man.” giggled Tommy,
thrusting his hands into his pockets, and
baby lifted her precious little head from the
pillow and stared at him with her great,
blue eyes, as if she wondered who that boy
was.
•• She don’t know me,” said Tommy, in
still greater delight. “ She won’t never
have pants; will she?” he added, in a tone
that was partly pity and partly triumph.
“ I suppose you won't care about eating
peanuts and candy any more,” said Uncle
Jim, as he went away.
Tommy was walking about with his hands
behind him. trying to make his shoes squeak,
lie stopped and looked at Uncle Jim to see
if he was in earnest. There was a twinkle
in his eye that reassured Tommy, so he went
on squeaking his shoes, and wondering what
Billy would say to him. He determined to
go over immediately and see, but mamma
spoiled that plan by telling him not to go
outside the gate on any account, or do any
thing to soil his new clothes, because his
papa was coming home that very morning,
and Tommy must look his best.
Tommy’s papa brought him a music-box
that would play three tunes, and a set of toy
horsemen rode up and down to the tune of
‘'Captain Jinks” when you turned the han
dle of the box they stood upon; so, of course,
he had to go over after dinner to show his
treasures and his new clothes to Billy. The
result was dreadfully disappointing, so far
as the new clothes ware concerned, for that
young gentleman sniffed tip his nose at them
in decided disapproval.
‘•Hoi” said Billy, “titer's most like a
girl ; only come to your knees, and no
galluses. I don’t have my clothes that
way.”
Tommy stared with his big eyes, and won
dered what l> galluses” migtit be, but had not
a doubt that there was but one proper way to
make clothes, and that was just like Billy’s.
Now, Billy’s mama never troubled herself
about the spring fashions, or any other fash"
ions. She had half a dozen boys, aud when
the older ones outgrew their clothes, she just
cut off the iegs a little, patched the knees
and elbows, and passed them on down the
row. Billy’s present pants happened to be a
little long and a little baggy, but that was a
fault time would remedy; so, after inspecting
them a moment, Tommy unbuckled his little
trousers at the knee, and stretched and
smoothed them down over his scarlet stock
ings. It was no use, at the very best they
would not reach his aukles.
“ Tell ye what,” said Billy, “ if ye had
some galluses them pants would reach
down."
“ Y-e-s,” said Tommy in bewilderment.
The inventive Billy went directly to work,
and manufactured a pair of suspenders out
of some old red reins. The short trousers
were unbottoned from the jacket and let
down to a desirabla length, the ‘‘galluses”
fastened on with pins and twine, and then
Billy surveyed bis work with triumph.
To be sure, there was a noticeable gap be
tween the top of the trousers and the bottom
of the jacket, but the red suspenders bridged
it over, and Billy remembered to have seen
the same lack upon Jake, the hostler, so both
boys were satisfied.
“ There, now,” said Billv; “ now you look
something like.”
He didn’t say like what, and Tommy didn’t
ask; but they played with the soldiers till
Ellen rang he bell for tea. Then papa and
mamma, looking out at a parlor window, saw
a funny little figure coming across the yard,
with gray trousers dragging over its feet, red
suspenders stretching down in front across
a puff of plaid tiannei shirt, and a gay little
plaid banner streaming bravely out in the
rear. Tommy’s papa laughed and shouted,
and felt like rolling on the floor, and he
called Uncle Jim, and he laughed too ; but,
though Tommy went to the window the min
ute he got in, to eee what the fun was. he
couldn’t see anything at all.— From “ Wliat
Tommy Did,'' by Emily Jlvntington Miller.

ROOT CROPS FOR FEED.
There are no experiments on record that
can befullv relied on to show just how many
pounds of beef can be made from a bushel
of tnrnips, carrots, or beets. It is true
enough that trials have been made to test the
question, and results have been reported ;
but thus far, such results have been too
much at variance to be confidently accepted.
The amount of beef that can be made from a
bushel of corn, is quite another matter, and
is much better understood ; though in either
case the result depends, of course, very ma
terially on the breed, and condition of the
animal.
From the large precentage of water con
tained in the turnip and otherroots, it is easy
to see that the feeding value must be relative
ly very inconsiderable. If we take 00 lbs.
as the weight of a bushel of these roots, it
will be found that the quantity of water in
each bushel is about 48 lbs. for carrots, over
50 lbs. for beets, and nearly 55 lbs. in a
bushel of turnips. It is, therefore, very evi
dent that the amount of nutriment left in
each bushel, after the water is eliminatad, is
but small in comparison with other kinda of
feed.
The statement has been made by an Eng
lish Agricultural Society, that it requires
150 lbs. of either turnips, carrots, or beets,
to produce a single pound of beef. But this
is contrary to the general experience of farm
ers, and is palpably incorrect. According
to another statement widely published, it re
quires 50 lbs. of carrots, or 100 lbs of turn
ips for a pound of beef. In both these cases,
the figures are evidently the result of some
little experience, added to a considerable
amount of guess-work.
It is a matter of surprise that this problem
has not yet been more accurately solved.
But in the absence of more exact experi
ments, and reliable results, the farmer may
be very sure of one thing : Though neither
beets, carrots, nor turnips, if used alone in
feeding, will he found to pay, yet each of
them, when properly combined with other
elements, is at once increased in value, and
gives anew value also to the whole mixture.
This fact illustrates the principle so often
overlooked, that variety in feeding, is the se
cret of success. When roots are fed exclu
sively, the result is poor beef and small pay;
but when they are given in connection with
grain and good hay, if the proportions are
right, the nutritive value of each element is
improved, the health of the animal is pre
served, and the profit of the business is large
ly increased. The man who depends solely
on roots in feeding, will never find them a
profitable crop. But when they are skill
fully blended with other feed of various kinds,
their real value is developed, and the farmer
discovers that he cannot afford to be with
out them. — Correspondent Rural New York

WHEAT.
Now is the time to fajlow for wheat. If a
remunerative crop is to be expected, certain
cunditions must be respected. First, clean
the field of briers and hushes. The laud
should be a clover field, or good sod field,
with the grass having been pastured close.
Plow the ground six or seven inches deep
and harrow over directly. This mast be
done ip time to let the turf rot by the first of
October. If weeds and grass spring up run
over with a Thomas’ Smoothing Harrow, or
with some other implement to kill the weeds.
The last week in September cross plow and
horrow and use any fertilizer you choose.
From the first to the tenth of October drill
in five pecks of prime wheat per acre. The
wheat should have been soaked iu a steep of
salt brine or copperas, and dried in slacked
lime or plaster. After the wheat is sown, if
the land be light, run over the roller. In
January or February sow over it, if no fer
tilizer had been used, 4bushels of salt mix
ed with two of plaster to the acre. This
would be of great benefit, even if fertilizers
had been used; but both outlays on the same
crop, precarious, as wheat is, but few farm
ers are willing to incur.
If the field intended for fallow-wheat be
not in the condition as supposed above and
not in good heart, then it must be fertilized
highly if a good crop be looked for, and the
land improved at the same time.
The fertilizer we should use would be 200
pounds bone dust, 5 bushels ol salt and 200
pounds superphosphate rich in nitrogen and
potash ; the whole cost would not be over
$0 per acre, and would require, say an in
crease of seven bushels per acre to repay the
outlay, leaving a handsome balance of profit
in the improved fertility of the soil or in the
increased product of the grass crop that
might follow the wheat crop. If wheat is
sown after tobacco, and the tobacco crop
had been fertilized, we should only use
the salt and the ground bones, leaving out
the superphosphate.
GOOD HEALTH.
If you wish to enjoy good health, keep
your feet dry and warm and your mind calm.
When the feet become cold and clammy, the
blood will be chilled, the head will suffer,
and the whole system will become deranged.
A watchful care over the condition of the
body and the disposition of the mind, are
both necessary to the enjoyment of good
health. We should as carefully guard against
a sudden outburst of passion as against ex
posure to cold and damp clothing. We
should cultivate feelings of kindness toward
all mankind. This will bring sunshine and
cheerfulness to your own heart and lift you
up from the gloom and selfishness, which is
always attended with more or less of mental
depression and is injurious to health. If
you have mountains before you in the jour
ney of life and cannot get around them, al
ways go up on the sunny side of the moun
tain, and if clouds gather around you, re
member the sun is just above the clouds and
will soon burst with its full light upon you.
And if your path should be rocky and steep
and beset with briers and thorns, you will
get through them all, much safer and better
by taking it calmly, than by fretting and
grieving over calamities, over which you
have no control. —Sunshine and Health

PLEASANT BEDROOMS.
There is nothing more indicative of refine
ment and a genuine culture in a family than
bright, cheerful and tastefully decorated bed
chambers. Tasteful decorations do not ne
cessarily mean expense, and it is possible to
make a chamber look very pretty at a very
small outlay. Indeed, in many instances, no
outlay at all will be required beyond what
would be incurred under any circumstauces.
The women of a family, especially, are apt
to pass a good portion of their time in their
bed chambers, and in some households the
sleeping apartments are used alike for sew
ing-rooms, sitting rooms, and nurseries. It
is worth while to obtain all the innocent
pleasure we can find in this life, and there
can be no doubt that life is pleasanter if most
of its hours are passed in cheerful-looking
apartments.
SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE.

Sarah A. Broti.es, daughter of Rev.
Alexander N. and Edna Harris, was born
near Jonesboro, Washington county, Tenn.,
June 2, 1847: and Hied at Nola Cbucky, in
said county, June 24, 1877.
She joined the Methodist Church in her
early youth, but though always devotedly
pious, made no open profession of religion
until her 20’h year—at which time, under
the preaching of the Rev. C. A. Evans, near
Kingston, G j., she was soundly converted.
From that period till her death, her faith
never wavered for a moment. She was mar
ried, August 19, 1808, to W. N. Broyles.
Esq , of Washington county, Tenn , and
with her husband went to reside at Nola
Chueky, in that S*ate. Here, after nearly
nine years of domestic happiness, she was
stricken down hv that fell destroyer, con
sumption. She lay for fourteen months, suf
fering the most excruciating tortures. Her
splendid constitution gave force to life’s ef
forts in the Serce an'agonism wjth death.
She struggled to live for the sake of her hus
band and her children; yet no murmur es
caped her —no word of reproach—for she
trusted in God. Nay more, her higher
moral sense, convinced that all was for the
best, overcame the flesh, and often enabled
her to shout aloud for joy at the near pros
pect of deliverance from suffering, and of
admission into the glories of Eternity. A
short while before she died, in that dim,
trance-like state that precedes dissolution, a
vision of her home above was vouchsafed to
her, and the forms of her father and her
children —gone before —seemed to bend down
towards her from the skies. In eloquent
strains she described to her w-eping listeners
the bliss that, awaited her in the splendors of
that upper Home; and as the end drew near,
she seemed to catch the light of eternity,
streaming across her poor failing vision, from
the turrets and domes of the God built city.
She died with a smile on her face. Never a
brighter testimony—never a happier end.
She leaves behind her an afflicted Christian
husband and tour small children—nearest
mourners of her untimely death. In her
social and domestic life she was one of the
loveliest characters that ever smiled in the
lace of care. Tender-hearted, gentle, and
affectionate, her virtues of womanhood bore
the fruits of perfect peace to her household.
Kind to everyone, full of charity to the poor,
abounding in good works, her nobility of
heart found a response in her husband’s
heart. Her gentleness left its spell upon her
children, and in them is the prophecy of a
manhood and womanhood of worth and hap
pines3. Devotion to the sanctuary, love of
the ordinances of God’s house—inspirations
first caught from the example of a sainted
tatber —t hese were some of the leading marks
of her short but happy life. A true mother,
she never neglected the home altar, and in
her husband’s absence took up his work, and
opening the Book of Life, morning and eve
ning led her children in family worship.
More than this—every day at 12o’clock, she
carried her little ones into her secret closet,
where she dedicated their young hearts and
lives to God. It was her dying request to
h-r daughter that when her mother was gone
she should continue each day and at the
same hour, this sweet closet exercise. Her
friends and neighbors bear testimony to the
beauty of her character—to the purity and
self sacrifice of this wife and mother in Israel.
Side by side the writer passed with her through
a childhood of trial, and yet, in all the long
vears spent beneath the same roof he never
knew an impatient word to escape her, and
never saw an angry flush on her cheek. The
angel of the household—she disarmed im
patience by a ministry of kindness, and
soothed the sorrows of childhood with the
sympathy of a heart fre“ from guile, and the
tenderness of a soul full of love. We sorrow
not for her without hope. In the hearts and
homes of her family and friends her memory
will linger as of one too good for earth —and
yet only through Christ’s sufferings fitted for
heaven. Her Brother.
Mrs. Mart Barbara Cosby, wife of Mr.
Wm. A. Osborn, and daughter of Mr. Thom
as and Mrs. Rebecca White, died in the full
assurance of ber acceptance with God, near
Palmetto, Ga., August 10, 1877.
Death had no terrors for her. and when
the Bridegroom came she was found ready
with her “lamp trimmed and burning,” having
given her heart to the Saviour in the mim
ing of her life Reared by the hand of wealth
and endowed with a superior intellect, she
grew up a lovely type of womanhood, and
among the varied scenes through which she
was called in after life, sustained herself as
none but a true woman can. In 1854 she
graduated at Madison Female College, re
ceiving the first honor in her class. On re
turning to the parental home she seemed to
realize at once, the duiies incumbent upon
her as a daughter and sister, and in each ca
pacity she did her whole duty. Ere many
months had passed away she stood beside
fhe altar, face radiant with joy, and heart
buoyant with future hope, the blushing
bride of Samuel Arnold. Time passed
swiftly, happily by, and a little “ birdling”
tell into the parent nest; but soon, ah! soon,
the Reaper with “ sichle keen ” cut, down
this tender bud ; and while the mol her was
weeping over this, her first great sorrow,
the strong arm upon which she had hoped
to leau through life, lay pulseless before her—
ablow which almost crushed heryounglife,yet
her trusting heart looked up to “Him who
doeth all things well,” and with Christian
zeal she pressed onward to life and its duties,
giving to her friends and the Methodist
Church, of which she was a devoted member,
the love and energy of her nature. There is
a limit to adversity as well as to prosper
ity, to grief as well as to joy, and after
years had passed away in loneliness and
tears, she found in one, a heart in which
she could trust, and was again married to Mr.
Osborn of Kentucky, with whom she lived
most happily till the day of death. In this
new relation, though called to fill the difficult
position of stepmother, she not only won the
admiration of the community, but also the
esteem and love of her adopted chudren, by
her uniform kindness and untirinjplevotiou
to their interest. Her husband’s children,
as well as her own, rise up and call her
blessed. The writer takes pleasure in ad
ding her testimony to that of others as to her
true womanly character and excellence. I
knew her when the dew of heaven was fresh
upon her cheek ; I knew her when a happy
confiding wife, aud proud boasting mother ;
I knew her when widow’s weeds covered her
sad brow; aud from first to last, I never
knew a nobler woman or purer Christian
than Barbara Osborn. E. J. S.
David S. Ramsaur, son of L. R. and Har
riet E. Ramsaur, was born January 20,1860;
and died August 22, 1877, at Fairmount,
Gadsden county. Ga
He was given to God by baptism in infancy,
and was the object of an affectionate mother’s
prayers, who died years ago in the full pros
pect of a blissful immortality. He professed
religion and joined the Church under the
ministry of Rev. A. C. Thomas, in 1875, and
maintained a consistent hope of Heaven. It
is but a feeble eulogy to say that David pos
sessed unusual personal attractions, a soli
tary of mind that was heightened by culture
rarely found in those even of far maturer
years, a heart, great, disinterested, affection
ate, delighting to alleviate suffering and dif
fuse happiness. He was a true and intimate
friend of his preacher, and his frequent visits
to the parsonage on errands of benefaction
and lovecan never be forgotten. He gave his
pastor satis actory evidence cf his acceptance
with the Saviour, a few days prior to his
death. His sickness was peculiarly and in
tensely painful, yet his patience and resigna
tion gave indubitable testimony of the tri
umphs of grace, and fruitful instruction that
faith can prevail over pain, disease, and mor
tality. Though so young and genial, his
golden sun ot life has gone down below the
horizon of human sight, yet the reflected
light, of his lovely character wili ever linger
among cherished hopes and undying mem
ories. Heavenly hope shakes her soft wings
and tells us that if faithful, by and by with
life’s sweet relations all renewed, we shall
be numbered with the blest and join him in
our home above. P. G. Reynolds.
Miss Mary Harden, was born in Monroe
coumy, Ga. ; and died July 18th, 1877.
Joyous, loving, beautiful—she has been
called away at early morn, before tasting
earth’s pleasures, and before the panorama
of earth was fairly sketched out before her.
In presence ot so sad and inscrutable a pro
vidence, we can only rest upon the declara
tion of the Master, ,l What I do thou know
est not now, but thou sbaltknow hereafter.”
She “ lived for those who loved her,” and
eying has left a large circle of relatives and
friends to mourn her depaiture. Chief
among those bereaved by this sad blow, is
the fond mother, the affection between whom
and the departed loved One was most beauti
ful to behold. A comparative stranger lays
tins tribute upon the early grave of the de
parted, and with profound sympathy sends
up the prayer that the God of the fatherless
nod the widow may comfort those who sur
vive. C. C. L.
Mrs Annie Bessent Carroll, wife of
Jesse Y. Carroll, and only ehild of Mrs. V.
F. Bessent. of Edgewood, near Atlanta, Ga.;
died July 24;h, 1877.
Her death-bed scene was a grand triumph.
Young, beautiful in person, lovely in char
acter, with a beloved husband and child
clinging to her, and the world spread out in
an inviting prospect before her, she turned
from them all and cheerfully met the last
enemy, assuring her friends that Death bad
lost its sting and the grave its terror. Her
illness was protracted and her suffering in
tense, but from the first she had no feeling
but the most perfect resignation to her
Heavenly Father’s will. The before her
death, as her husband wept be* she
said, ” I've no dread of death before I
go, I want you to promise me that you will
be a Christian, and follow me to heaven.”
The prom’se being given, she looked at him
with ineffable sweetness and affection, and
sad: “I love you a thousand times more
than ever, and this promise has done me
more good than all the doctor's medicine. 1
am so happy.” She th“n arranged for the
care of her infant daughter. A few hours
before her death, her mother knelt beside
her and said : *• Annie, my darling, you are
dying; tell me, before you go, if the grace
whic-n we profess is sufficient to sustain you
in this trying hoar, and can you testify to the
reality of religion.” She replied: “It is
real —all real ’ Then, said her mother,
‘Tell me if von feel any fear, and if all is
well with you?” She answered: “I feel
no fear —all is brigh' and beautiful.” Then,
raising both hands, trembling with weak
ness. she exclaimed: “ I am-so bappy !”
Frequently, during her illness, she spoke
of the happiness of meeting her father
and brother, who had gone , before. Ae
the final hour drew nigh, she turned to her
tiusbani, who sat weeping beside her bed,
and said: “My dear, don’t cry; I will be
your guardian angel, following you all the
time. My every breath almost has been a
prayer for you ever sincere*.. ive beim sick,
and 1 will not fo r get you' at’wi
She seemed to have au insight Tf* ftue spirit
world, for she exclaimed, ‘ I believe Buddie
is bringing them all with him; there is my
dear father, and grandpa, and grandma, and
grandma's mother!” Soon after this she
became speechless, and beckoned to her
mother and husband, and as they bent over
her, made a motion to each of them for a
kiss. A moment after, a beautiful smile,
perceptible to all in the room, played over
hpr features, and she resigned herself calmly
into the arms ol Death. Her dace in the
family circle can never be supplied. She is
also missed and mourned by a large circle
of friends. L.
Sidney William (Aii-.i..-, in of Rev.
Samuel W. Capers, and Mrs A. H. Cap- rs,
of Camden. S. C., was born Sept. 22, 1838 ;
joined the Church when he was about twelve
years old : was married to Jessie, daughter
of John T. Dirby, January 18, 1859, and to
Edith daughier of Bishop W. M. Wightman,
April 21, 1874 ; and ended his eart lly course
in peace, at Camden, S. C., August 6, 1877.
He was a man o‘ fine sensibility, which
made him susceptible of the most exquisite
enjoyment and the most acute suffering.
Though life gave him much of happiness, it
also inflicted much of pain and sorc-jw upon
him. What another might bfflt-e borne with
callousness, was to him a clwse of agony.
Few could appreciate the intense suffering
under which lie groaned during the closing
months, and especially the closing weeks of
his life. We seldom witness a parallel to
them. If be shrank from suffering it was no
wonder. Tne cause ot the suffering that
ended his hie, migm have been resisted in
definitely by another, but his sensitive nature
succumbed af era comparatively short strug
gle. Though his condition wi h most dis
tressing for weeks before his dah, his faith
in Christ was strong and assuring. In his
youth he was taught the way ot eternal life,
but he did not exsiibit, those shining graces
that adorned bis Cliristian character until
about four or five years ago. Then he be
gan, and continued to be an active and use
ful member of tiie Church, until failing
health retired him to tne sphere of suffering.
With full consciousness of the issue of his
disease, he awaited the approach of death
wi’h resignation and hope. Ilis faith, catch
ing the rays of light trom the heavenly
world, kindled amid the clouds that gathered
upon his evening sky a beacon resplendent
with the hope of immortality—assuring us
that his gun went down with usdimmed radi
ance to rise upon an eternal and cloudless
world. The voice of praise wa3 mingled
with his groans, and a blissful smile lighted
his countenance as he was taking his fare
well of this world. We lai(l s .dtn among his
departed kindred to await the resurrection
of the just. A. J. Stokes.
Mrs. Candace Daniel, wife of Cordy

She leaves but three children : Mrs. L. E.
Stark, wife of Rev. W. F. Stark, of Jack

and C. H. Daniel, of Henry county. The
latter were with their mother, and were in
defatigable in loving attention. Mrs. Daniel
professed religion at a camp-meeting in
Clarke countv, and joined'the Methodist
Church over fifty years ago. In every vi
cissitu fe of life she has remained truetoher
profession. Indeed, through those long
years she had a rich and loving Christian
experience. Until her sight was greatly
impaired, the Bible was her constant com
panion, and it was to her a fount of con
stant comfort and delight. Tiie nature of
her affliction admonished her to be ready for
the summons at any hour. She expressed
her readiness, and even perfect willingness,
to depart and be with the blessed Master.
She sweetly and peacefully passed away,

Rev. S. G. Gilbert, a member of the
Mulberry circuit Quarterly Ponference, was
born in Jackson county, Ga., March 30,
1838; and died in the neighborhood of Ins
birth on July— 1877.
Bro. Gilbert had been a member ot our
Church about eight vears, and a preacher for
about five years. While he was not as pop
ular a preacher as some, yet we hope his life
was useful. He always loved to talk of his
hopes lor Zion. He was much interested in
getting anew church built near his hou.se
this spring. Before it was entirely complet
ed —though it was in use —he was called to
his reward. His disease was of such a char
acter that visitors were not admitted. I wa3
not allowed to see him. therefore know noth
ing of his dving testimony. We however
mourn not without hope. He leaves a fam
ily of several children. May the blessing of
God rest on the bereaved, and may they
meet him in heuven. *M. H. Eases.
David L. Tompkins ? 9 ;lB46;
and died in Alachua Fla., June 1, 1877*
He was a son of James aud Mary Tomp -
kins, of Orange Like —the friends of tne
Church aid of the preachers. He joined
the Church when young and tried to live a
Christian life. When he was sick unto
death he called his children'around his bed
and had them to kneel down on their knees
and promise him they would try to be good
and meet him in heaven. He rejoiced, and
declared that he loved Jesus, and that his
way was clear. He left a wife and four chil
dren to mourn, but who live in hope of meet
ing him again. His father and mother,
brothers and Bisters, believe he is at rest,
and are trying to meet him. O. Eady.
Mrs. Mary D. Martin, wife of John R.
Martin, was born in Abbeville District, South
Carolina, September 6, 1818; and died in
Madison county, Florida, May 26 1877.
She joined the Reformed Presbyterian
Church in early life, but not being conven
ient to any church of her profession after
moving to Florida with her husband, she
joined the M. E. Church, South, of which
she remained a faithful and worthy member
to death. She was fully prepared for death
and her home above. Her aged husband,
her children, and many friends, who mourn
her loss, may patiently wait m hope of meet
ing her where parting will b>Rg more.

f Miss Elizabeth Gray wan born in Abhe
vilte District, S. C , April 18 1814; and died
at her brother-in law’s, J.R Martin’s, in Mad
ison county, Fla., from cancer, July 13, 1877.
She joined the M. E. Ct.urch, Soutn, in
1862. I visited her several times during her
suffering, and always found her calm, pa
tieut, and resigned —willing to live and suffer,
or ready to die and rest from labor and pain.
Thus prepared for death, she passed over
tbe river to meet the good and the loved be
yond. May her weeping friends below look
up and follow on till all meet above.

medical authorities concede their superiority over all

Being strongly Anti-Bilious, they expel all humors,
correct a vitiated state of the system, and, being
purely vegetable, they do not, like other pills, leave
the stomach and bowels in a worse'condition than
they found them, but, on the contrary, impart a
healthy tone and vigor before unknown.

THE BIFFALO LITHIA WATERS.
THE GREAT STOMACH WATERS
OF THE
American Continent.
THEIR GREAT POWER IN NERTODS PROSTRATION.
Case of Miss M.„ of Prince Edward Cos., Va., as stated by Drs. John Johns and T.
J. Owen . of that County , dated Meherrin Depot , Fa., February , 10, 1877.
‘‘At the request of MLs M., of Prince Edward County, Va., who was the sufferer, wa make you
the following statement, showing the astonishing efficacy of the Lithia Waters in one of tht most re
markable cases which we have ever witnessed :
‘‘Her disease was Nervous Dyspepsia, complicated with some congestion of the liver. When called
to prescribe for her we found her in an ex remely critical condition, with all the probabilities against
her recovery, ami she remained in thi-t situation for several months. She could not touch any ordi
nary water cold, and what she drank had to he warmed, while coffee a lone of article of nief scenic i to
disagree with the stomach, yet anything and everything taken into it affected the brain, aud eating, how
ever moderately, was frequently followed by delirium, accompanied by a j rofu.'C, clammy perspira
tion, which continued at me time for thirty-six hou-s. Fearing to eat or drink, she took- m rely enough
to sustain life, and her sufferings both from hunger and thirst were most intense. Emaciation, great gen
eral debility and c• mnlete nerrou * *\c> austion followed. Such was her prostration that, at times, it was
with great difficulty that she could articulate. She could not read, and company c<u and not be admit
ted to her room. Finding that medicines afforded her no relief, we pur her upon the Lithia Waters.
The use of the Waters for some months has been followed by a gradual, steady improvement in her
condition, until she is now able to be engaged constantly about domestic affairs, is looking as well as
we oversaw her, with every probability of complete restoration to health. When she first went into
society, after her long exclusion from if. .-he was received by her friends almost a one risen from the
dead. We regard the Lithia Waters in most forms of chronic disease to be without a riv.tl among
mineral waters, especially in derangements of the digestive organs.”
It is not pretended that these Waters work miracles, but it is confidently claimed for thorn, that
wheu laintly tested ihey will prove one of the most powerful of known remedial agents in all affec
tions ot the Stomach.
These Waters in cases of one dozen half gallon bottles are delivered at the Richmond and Dan
ville, R. R., at §5 per case in advance.
