The death angel called for her as a thief in the ^ night, but found her prepared to t meet her God in peace. She is but a rose bud taken from this earth and ( carried to heaven to bloom, where it d will never wither, nor lack for anything. She was loved by every- t body that knew her and especially by t her dear father and mother, but v now she sits by the pearly gates 1 watching and waiting to welcome father and mother there. She will always be ready to welcome her loved ones in heaven. We cannot understand why such a lovely bios- ( som is taken from earth, but God j understands.

For as the "Baby of the House" his first three months in Congress have brought him an acquaintance that many members of long service have not acquired. ' Indeed Mr. Lever has taken rank with those celebrities whom the Capitol guides point out to the viei1 r\r*a liorn -frrvm oil ATTOr VUIO UtAO li VLU Uit V?V* ?MV country. Representative Landell was recently acting as guide for several young ladies, and, on coming to the House gallery, in due time he pointed out the "Baby of the House" to them Whereupon the young ladies, daughters of a well known Southern Senator, expressed a desire to meet the young South Carolinian. Mr. Landell went in search of him and presently returned with Mr. Lever in tow. As it was about lunch time Mr. Landell asked his guests to lunch with him in the House restaurant and, turning to Mr. Lever, he said: "And we shall be glad to have you come down and take your Meilin's Food with us?or perhaps you prefer condensed milk.'' Mr. Lever was soon demonstrating to the party that his appetite was not as 3mall as his years were few. Do Not Be Afraid To look the facts squarely in the Face. That cough, racking and persistent, accompanied by tightness in the chest and spitting of sticky mucus, is a sign of consumption. Common sense dictates the use of illems LuDg Balsam, an honest remedy, since it contains no opium: m efficient remedy, since it heals the rritated, inflamed throat and luDgp, ind so prevents a deep-seated cold !rom running into incurable forms ion8umption.

Washington, March 10.?The bill to classify the rural free delivery service and place the carriers under the contract system, which has been debated in the house for over a week, was passed today but in a form that nnmnlpfplv phflnoroct tfio nnrn/ioo fr\r ' r? j ~ which it was framed. Before it was passed the bill was altered radically by its opponents. All the provisions relating to the placing of carriers under the contract system were stricken out and the salary system was not only continued, but the maximum salary of carriers was increased from $500 to $000 per annum. The amendment to fix the salaries of rural carriers at $600 was offered by Mr. Swanson of Virginia and adopted without division. An amendment offered by Mr. Fleming of Georgia, was adopted to allow carriers to do any express package business where it does not interfere with their duties. A motion offered by Mr. Williams, Democrat of Illinois, to recommit the bill with instructions to report back an amendment providing for the diemissal from the service of carriers who should use their influence in favor of any particular party or for my particular candidate, was voted 3own, 96 to 141.
