MISS ELIZA CATEK, After n Lous: and PalnTa! Illness Iter Lllo 4m Kuileil. nntl Her Soul Hetum* to the Uo?l Who Gave It. Miss Kllza Cuter, died at the home of tlio Misses Otter, in this village, Friday morniug, February 17, lSy.'J. Jntrlug her sIcKness, nud throughout the afllie;iui) of she household, the people of the community were untiring in their utteution and unremitting In tneir kindly offices. These ladles have hosts ol friends In Abbeville, who, while faithful and true atnll tunes, were especially devoted in the days of their , sorrow, ?nd in the hour of their bereavement j they were not unmindful of them. At teu o'clock on Saturday morning, many ' persous responding to the call of the siowtoliing bell assembled In the Presbyterian churcli to pay atTeciionate tribute to the memory of her wbose llle had Just gone oui. The pastor. Rev. J. Lowrle Wilson, D. !>., conuuciea lue luueiui khiuo, m ir?.,Vu paid a beautiful tribute of appreciation and admiration of the life and character of the deceased, who even in Ibe shadow and gloom of death, was cheerful, and being unselfish in her nature, gave little concern lor her own impending doom, but in all tha|,she said or did she evinced a deep anxiety for the welfare of those sisters irom whom she was so soon to take her departure. Dr. Wilson spoke feelingly in saying that Miss Eliza Cater is with us uo more ! Such is the message which drops from the bell-tower Id those solemn and measured tones to-day. It tells us that her wilderness pilgrimage Is ended ; that her weary, way-worn feet press no more its burning sands; that her woman's band readies dowu no more to gather up of its daily "manna"; that her woman's form benos no more to drink of the "smitten rock"; that hur "earthly house of this tabernacle" has fallen, and now lies folded away in you ca>kei-aik, to beset up again when God's dear ones are summoned from their "billowy iiiounds." Gone, gone, gone, rings out the sadly-grating beii-toli?gone, gone, gone, the heartbreaking echo that rolls back Irom one home today. Nay, more; In every home In this community that measured bell-stroke awakens tender, loving, sympathetic echoes ; for surely in the departure of that gentle lorm every home has lost a friend ! Boar with her pastor while he endeavors this morning brletly to render a pastor's tribute tooDeof his beloved flock whom the "Cblei Shepherd" has takea away. Were It a sermon to be preached, and a formal text to be selected, he would direct your thought to Acts lx, 30, 37: "Now there was atJoppaa certain disciple named Tabitha, which by Interpretation Is called Dorcas; this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which And ir cbiiih to d?rs lxi those days. thai she was nick, and died; whom Mhen they had washed, they laid In an upper churaber." As with "Dorcas," so with the subject of this tribute; sbe was a womau, ouly a woman ; and us s oh restricted In her labors and influence to tbe narrower sphere peculiar to that sex. Sbe belonged to a class, therefore, to which the world looks not for its ideal* of greatness; but to which tbe Church , of Christ ha* ever turned for many of Its grandest names and most beautiful characters. A woiAao, only a woman! But sucb also were the Hannahs, tbe Naomls, tbe , Ruths, the Marys and Marthas, the Lydlas, Loises and Kunlces ol Scripture, whose re- , corded lives lend a peculiar charm to that , blessed volume; and whose memories are , house-hold treasures In every land where the (Jospells known. ] In tbe eleventh chapter of Hebrews, wbere , the Holy Ghost has written the exploits of many a grand spirit, "who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, aud ol wbum tbe world was not worthy." an honored place Is given to this j class. The "women" of God, nut less than | the "nieu'' ot God, are there signalized by their Divine Master as worthy of everlasting \ remembrance, and tbelr faith commanded. , If so be tnat that incomparable chapter is , carried over into Heaven, with its galaxy of J Immortal names and beautiful memorials ol < Christ's beloved and glorious dead, may we 1 not indulge the hope that the name 01 tbls , dear one has lovlu* place in It. What Is tbe "roster" 01 the Redeemed in glory but tbe | eleventh chapter of Hebrews extended both , ways?back ward to Abel, and forward to the , Ingathering of the last one yet to be saved; | and il tbls be so, bow great will be the pre- | pouderenoe upou it of women'* names. If that "roster" be a consolidation of our prayer- i meeting rolls, there can be no doubt on this j point. For Christ's women" are the very soul of these meetings. But for t>bem they would pas* Into disuse. When woman's heart is cold, the Church of Christ la cold; and when the bearls of Christ's women are worm and all aglow, the world feels it and Is tin tiled by the radiating warmth. So was U with her whose "coffined clay" lies here helore us. She wasn prayer-meeting Christian, a wet-Sabbath Christian, a coldSabbath Christian, an every-Sabbath-night Christian. Ureal was the obstacle'that prevented her attendance. She loved the House of (Jod. Sne delighted lu its ordinances. Yearsago she gave herself to Jesus, uniting with the old historlo oh arch of Upper Long Cane, and thence by certificate with this church, In whose communion she continued until translated, as we fondly trust, to the General Assembly and Church of the FirstBorn la heaven. Here, therefore, that the greater part of her Christian life was lived; here that her testimony lor Christ was delivered. It was before you, my hearers, that she walked. Tell me, then, ye who knew her best, 11 tbat daily walk was not a beautiful exemplification t*f the Christian life! Tell me, Is not the church ol Christ on earth weakened by the translation from It of Just such an one! A woman, only a woman; but, thank God?a Christ-loving woman ! Me thinks 1 see her now. as so often before, in ihe House of God a contemplative "Mary," sittlngat Jesus feet; and now, as on the six days, a busy, bustling "Martha" "careful about many things;" Now, in the calm and contentment of the "Bethany" home, and now auaiu, in the active ministration of "Heaven-torn Charity"?dolDg lor others, in , the shaded chamber of the sick, or the abodes , of the needy?a veritable Dorcas." "full of , good works and almt-deeds which she did." But, she h<ts left us. "Gone," "gone," "gone" murmurs the sad bell: "gone," "gone," gone" answers back the sad heart. For nearly seven weeks the camped "on Jordan's stormy bunks," amid .lu mists and marshes; for nearly seven weeks talking with death, face to face; Before her flowed In Its unspeakable awfuluess the dark, death river. The point of crossing was deep and broad, the waters spreading far over its hither bank, producing a treacberous.Jeddyin^, backwater, as it were. No bridge spanned It, uo royal ferry rlpplea its surface. The prospect was simply appalling. What she endured in Its passage, and in tne seven weeks approach to It, is beyond description. Let It suffice to say that her dytne experience was living Christ. She suffered intensely, but was Intensely sustained by the power of trace. Leaning simply and alone on Jeeus, still following, the Larab she bravely entered the stream; and on yesterday morning. mbout one o'clock, the passage was safely eff cied. The mist of the death river tl.eu shut her out from view aud wc saw her no more. Hut faith beard the Joyful chiming of the celestial bells, when this our "Christiana" emerged from the stream on its further shore: "On the other side of Jordan, In the sweet flelds ot Eden, Where the Tree of Life Is blooming, There Is rest for her." "And I heard a voice from Heaven saying unto one, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henue-forth: Yea, salth ihe Spirit, that they may rest from their labors ; their works do follow thetn." When the preacher had concluded his remarks, the audience was dismissed, and the body of the deceased was carried to Rocky River Presbyterian grave yard, and there bur led beside other members or tne ramny who have "gone before." DISTINGUISHED GUEST. Editor JameM T. Bacon, or Edyefleld, lu Abbeville. Major James T. Bacon, editor of the Edgefield Chronicle, accompanied by his charming niece, Miss Bracle Bacon Cheatham, Is here on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. William Patrick Calhoun. This Ik their first visit to Abbeville, and we slnoerely hope that they have been ub much pleased with us, as they have charmed all who have coine within the association of their engaging personalities. Miss Cheatham comes from a long line of distinguished ancestors, famous on the one hand tor beauty, gentleness, and grace, and on the other etniuent for eloquence, professional skill and learning. These gifts she has Inherited to a marked degree, and in person hears a striking resemblance (o a brilliant Georgia belle whose likeness appeared In last Saturday's Constitution. Major Bacon as before stated Is the editor of the Edgefield Chronicle, which he established himseir and which be conducts with so much ability. He Is an energetic worker and an effective ur.d polished writer. The columns of bis paper are rich In liteiary illustrations and learned quotations, and his pieces abound In pathos, wit, and pleasantry, In fact his style is as Irresistible as It is inimitable. Added to his accomplishments In this line Mr. Bacon is a most pioficient musician. He plays with remarkable energy, >-lcill and artistic spirit, and confers Infinite pleasure on his listeners by tils unerring Judgment and skill; his renditions have been much admired, in the drawing rooms here where he has played, and the lovers of beautiful music have been captivated by his playing, which Is entrancing In style, and expressive aud effective in character. In social and convivial Intercourse Mr Bacon shines pre-eminent, his friends enjoy the gilts which have been so liberally dispensed to him, and which are seasoned with t'.ie rn..a? fliw?nt. nriri Alpimnt. nnn vpruiit.ifin. His private cbaructer has a vein of genuine chivalry In It, and his personal record is untarnished, he '>8 withal a courtly gentleman and a most delightful companion.
