Carolina's Honored Dead.
We again advert to the roll of our
martyred dead and the history of thc dif
ferent regiments, battalions and compa
nies, furnished hy this State during the
late war, which is now in course of prepa
ration by the Survivors' Association of
South Carolina. An agent has been ap
pointed to canvass the State for subscribers
to this most valuable work, a copy of
which should find its way to the house
hold of even* oneavhose heart throb? in
unison with the principle.- for which those
brave men fought and so heroically died.
It-is true " the Avar between the States"
is past, and the doctrines which we sub
mitted to tho stern arbitrament of arms
lias bren decided against us. It is true
that it was our du fy when the last line of
bayonets was lowered at Appoma'tox.
*'hon the starr}' cross on the ensign of
rh.; anny of the West was shrouded in
'. hq gloom of the surrender at Jonesboro.
io forget the mad passions engendered bv
the red demond of strife. " But though
the field be lost, it does not follow that we
should be altogether unmindful of the
past-a past fruitful in all the elements of
mora!, political and martial Greatness-a
past, the fame of which is as imperishable
:IK the deeds it commemorates ; a past
which calls up thc march, the bivouac
and the fight. The march through the
gorges of the Blue Ridge, and up the
lovely Valley of the Shenandoah-with
Johnston through Tennessee and Georgia,
whore the footprints of our men could be
traced in characters of blood, from their
torn and lacerated feet. The bivouac,
where 'neath the cold arch of winter's
night, and the quivering light of the
stars, they rested from tho fatigues of
thc day, uncomforted save by thoughts of
the loving and loved ones in their sunny
>>outhera"home. The fight in which our
gallant boys presented fearless breasts to
the storm of leaden hail, and won for
themselves a name' almost without a
parallel in the history of nations. It is
the intentnn of the Survivors' Associa
tion to plano on record the name of every
soldici irom this State who perished in
battle or who died during the war. There
are few of our people who do not mourn
some relation who fell in the front of bat
tle. . There are none of our people who do
not treasure the memory of our slain
heroes. Even those who were opposed to
the principles for which the South foughf
bear willing testimony to the valor and
self-sacrificing heroism of the men in gray.
We earnestly hope that the agent will
meet with success commensurate with the
nobleness of the object.-Charleston Cou
rier.
The Crops in South Carolina.
We print to-day a number of letters
from our attentive correspondents in the
interior which letters, together with other
trustworthy information in our possession,
enable U3 to make the following general
estimate of the probable cotton and corn
crops of ISouth Carolina for the current
year:
1. With the most favorable seasons, tho
cotton crop of this year will be at least
thirty per cent, less than that of last year
-the estimates range from, twenty-five per
cent, to fifty per cent., according to locali
ty
's. With unfavorable seasons, the crop
?will not exceed one-half of tho crop of last
year. Upon this point, our estimate agree
3. The crop of the present, vear will cost
at least twenty-five per cent. less than tho
crop of last year. The estimate range
from ten per cent, to thirty-three per cent.
4. The crop of brcadstuffs, although
there was a large increase in area, will not
be larger than is required for the wants of
thc State, ard, in some localities, there will
be a deficiency.
This is the substance of all the letters
and private advices received by us during
the past two weeks, but it iuust not be
. forgotten that heavy rains?or high winds
would seriously diminish the yield of cot
ton, and reduce the crop of the staple be
low our lowest figures'.-Charleston Rewa

Editorial' Correspondence*
GREENVILLE, Aug. 18th, J871.
We aro still, in Greenville. And why ?
Because no more charming summer
resort can ho found this side pfthe Green
brier White Sulphur. And yet Green
ville, dunns tho whole of our sojourn,
hn?s been a Tophet-ns hot a one as old
John Bunvan ever dreamed of. For
five weeks there has been no rain-noth
ine you could call rain. The dust is a
fnrloner in depth, and so red and hot as
to be, like Bardolph's nose in tho play,
"suggestive of hell fire." Tho crops
throushout the county are said to be
suffering fearfully. Indeed from all tho
neichborinc counties comes the same
melancholy tale. While you at home
have had such fine seasons! To-day,
however, Friday the 18th, the clouds
are thick and the atmosphere is. damp.
We shall soon have rain. And when it
begins to vain here towards fall, it never
stops. But no matter; floods will be
preferable to flames. In a fortnight too,
we predict, it will be unlawfully cool,
and people will be obliged to lay aside
their white clothes, and wrap up in semi
winter style. As to tho laying aside of
the white clothes, however, that will be
a mercy * the spectators if not to the
wearers. What with the hard water and
the red dust, so common here, white
dresses and white pants and vests soon
become entirely unavailable. Daily (it
ought to be semi-daily) as wo put on a
clean (?) shirt, we weep with shame and
humiliation. Last Sunday, on our way
from church, one of our sisters grabbed
theother frantically, and said ecstatically,
pointing to a lady at a little distance,
"Look at that lovely cream-colored
pique ! Did you ever see anything 60
stylish ?" And with a natural love for
Babylonish garments, we lingered in
the dust to see the cream-colored pique
nearer. But when the lady passed, it
turned out to be as melancholy and
darkling a jaconet as ever had experi
ence of a wash tub. . Vive la bagatelle !
Excuse us for writing in a somewhat
loose and vagabondish manner. It is
in fact an irksome thing in this world
to be respectable all thc time. And just
think too, when tho Presidential contest
begins next year, of the ponderous things
we shall have to bring forth-in sore la
bor and travail. We shudder at the
thought !
The TJ. S. Court is still in session. A
caso has just been concluded which at
tracted much public interest and atten
tion. Tho trial of one Wiley C. Bishop,
a Caesar's Head scalawag, and former
member of the Legislature, for forging
an old woman's name upon the back of
her pension draft-and all such. Wiley,
they tell us, is decidedly a mauvais sujet.
Besides being a pestilent Radical, ho has,
twice previous to this, been tried for hog
stealing. In each case, however, he was
acquitted. And now, of this forgery,
the jury also cleared*him. So who knows
but that Wiley is a persecuted man?
The public generally, however, seem to
believe him guilty, and are indignant at
his acquittal. Genl. Easley and T. S.
Arthur Esq., spoke ably in his behalf.
To-day the trial of a Ku Klux case is to
be entered upon. It promises to be in
teresting. And speaking of Radical mern
hers of the Legislature, reminds us of
Wilson Cook, the leader of the negroes
in this quarter. We behold Wilson in
, thc Court almost every day, andN with
feelings of considerable awe and admi
ration. He is as tine-looking, well-dress
ed and well-mannered a man as one
would wish to meet. White and black
speak well of him. He is jrich and lives
in purplo.
On Sunday evening last, the Revi Mr.
; THOMAS, of the Baptist Church, made
. Iiis adieu to his congregation. Almost
the entire community-ali creeds and all
classer-composed his audience, and the
occasion was ono of sad interest. Dr.
JAMES FURMAN is to bc the successor of
iMr. THOMAS, and will enter at once upon
Iiis pastoral duties. The Baptist Church
is a very large and handsome building,
with" a spire that would do" credit to New
York. The interior which is beautifully
frescoed, looks, however, more like a
grand city Concert hall or lecture room,
than a church. It is much marred, too,
'by side galleries with /neutles so pitiless
ly plain and cheap as to be entirely out
of rapport with the walls and rostrum.
The leading voi e in the Baptist choir
and a beautiful voice il is-is that of our
lovely young friend (formerly our coun
trywomen) Miss EMMIE ADDISON.
And apropos of Churches, the Metlro
dists are building a new edifice. It is
situated in a line grove in the heart of
tho town, and promises to be large, mod
ern and handsome. <>n Tuesday next
th? corner-stone of this Church is to be
laid by the Masonic fraternity, of which?
the Rev. Mr. STEPHENS, Presiding Elder
of this District, is a member. Dr. WHITE
FORD S.MiTn is ta deliver an address
upon this occasion.
The most beautiful Church in South
Carolina, as regards thc purity and integ
rity of its architecture, is the Episcopal
Church here. It is perhaps more strict
ly Gothic than any similar edifice we
have seen out of Germany. With a little
more paint and varnish, and a little more
ornamentation, it would be a Church of
very rare beauty. Its pastor is the Rov.
ELLISON CAPERS, son of the late eminent
Bishop CAPERS of the Methodist Church,
tfnd a distinguished Brigadier in our late
war. But every one knows him, for he
has long been a man of high deeds and
good works. He is genial, fervent, elo
quent, and warmly beloved by his con
gregation. So much so indeed, that he
has just declined a call to St Lukes,
Charleston, to fill the place of tho la
mented GADSDEN-a compliment to any
man. The conductor of tho music in
this fine Church is that Edgefield veteran,
our honored uncle, who, isas well known
among you, has ever been the corner
stone, and walls, and columns, and stain
ed glass-and all other component parts
-of the Episcopal Church, wherever he
has lived. His choir, as regards one or
two leading voices is somewhat a tran- 1
sicnt one Consequently while tho sing
ing in this Church is often very beauti
ful indeed, it is also some times rather
shaky.
But we dwell too long perhaps upon
the Churches. Let us hurry on and
dwell for a season in thc tents of wick
edness and amid tho pleasures of sin.
We said in our last that Greenville did ,
not dance this summer. But she has ,
begun, hotly and heavily. That elegant
and hospitable lady, Mrs. Col. IRVINE, ?
so well known in our community, open
ed the ball at her charming suburban
home, on Monday evening last. And the ,
talk at present is altogether of dancing. ,
We hear that the City Club, in about a j
fortnight, is to reach the climax in this
respect, by a grand costume ball. But
let us tell you a little of one soiree dan- ?
san te in particular. And why? Because |
it was given expressly to a lovely und j
amiable Edgefiold maiden whom no one j
knows but to love or names but to praise j
-Miss MAMIE JONES. Miss J's most l
intimate friend in Greenville is a brilliant i
young married lady-with all the air and 8
manner of a dame du grand monde-who T
boards at the Mansion House. And hera
the latter gathered together the bravery, B
beauty and fashion of Greenville to meet \
our young countrywoman. Did we speak j
of it as a soiree dansante f It was more,
[t was a very brilliant and sparkling
ball ; and the fair beneficiare of the even- ?
ug (if we may so express it) waa not th0 *
least admired ol'tho many beautiful girls
who graced and glorified the scene. At
this ball, a small colony Qf. Edgefield
aborigines rather clustered'; around a
genial gentleman whom many1 Edgefield .
people know, love, and will be glad to
hear of-Dr. SJ?M M?RSHA?? formerly^
of Abbeville. " Dr. MAiusnA"tjii has livef$j \
here seven or eight years, is^ii'partner ia^ ',
a prominent Drug Store, a popular vigQ-.
titioner, ano!, a?'of yore, a South Caroli
nian of the old knightly and cavalier
type.
Another person hereto whom Edge
field people are naturally drawn is the
venerable Mrs. JANE BUTLER, who, like
Dr. BUIST, may bo seen on the streets
almost any fine day, followed by three
little grandsons, the sons of Genl. M. C.,
who are spending the summor with her.
This lady, of the old and high regime, is
as ha?e, vivacious', witty, and full of in
terest in the life around her, as if she
were but twenty years old. Her chil
dren and grandchildren cluster lovingly
around her, and her old age is, as it
should be, prosperous and honored.
How is that Edgefield and Laurens
narrow gauge ? Shall ? we travel home
upon it two weeks hence? Nightly and
morningly we p'ray in its behalf.
Our next letter will be from-we know
not where. Caesar's Head perhaps. But
we shall blow where we list,- and no man
shall tell whence we come or whither
wo go. Again Adieu. J. T. B.
A Noble Benefaction.
The Trustees of tho Louisville Medical
Collepe, (Louisville, Ky.,) have created
one of the most liberal and noble bene
factions ever conferred by a public Insti
tution upon any people. The Trustees
of this College have instituted one Ben
eficiary Scholarship for each Congression
al District in the Southern and surround
ing States. By this means very many
poOr but deserving 'young men will be
enabled to obtain a thorough medical ed
ucation. Any one wishing to take ad
vantage of this Benefection which is
worth to each student at least 8200, has
only to write te T>-. E. 8. Gaillard, Dean
of the Faculty of the Louisville Medical
College, Louisville, Ky., wu en he will
receive a college catalogue witu full in
formation in regard to all that is necessa
ry for him to do to secure one of these
Scholarships. With properand welcome
delicacy the names of those -who have
secured the Beneficiary Scholarships will
be known only to thc Dean of the Facul
ty. It is unnecessary to commend those
who have established these noble Bene
ficiary Scholarships. Their act will bring
them the highestcommendation wherev
er it is known.
In accordance with the old Hippocratic
oath, forbidding physicians to charge the
families of each other for services ren
dered, the Faculty of this College will
make no charge for teaching sons of
phj-sieians, and, as no physician charges
a clergyman's family, the sons of clergy
men will receive the same privilege. Tho
next College session begins October 2d,
187J. As the lecture fees charged for
each s tudent who has not obtained a
Beneficiary Scholarship, amount to ?120,
annually, thc public can appreciate the
munificence of this benefaction.

versal Life Insurance Company.
From a letter to the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian, by its editor, Mr. BONNER,
who has lately been on a trip to Green
ville, wc clip the following paragraph,
adding that thc "Agent" spoken of, is
our able and active fellow citizen Capt.
GEO. LAKE:
" A scheme is on foot to re-endow the
University located here, and it is be
lieved will be carnied through this year.
We might say a double scheme has been
undertaken for this purpose-one by or
dinary subscriptions, payable in five an
nual instalments, and one by the life in
surance plan. By this latter plan, the
agent told us the othor day, it was pro
Eosed to. raise an endowment of three
undred thousand dollars, and he added,
that he hoped to complete the work in
the next sixty days. This will become
the popular plan for endowing colleges in
the next ten years. If there is any desire
to know more of this subject, we will ex>
jplain at some future time."
I Further Mian this, our, Editor writes us
from Greenville that Capt. LAKE is suc
ceeding admirably in this novel scheme,
and that he is soon to transfer the field of
his labors from Greenville to Charleston.
Wc trust tho Charlestonians will receive
him well, and heartily further this ap
parently admirable endowment plan.

On tho matter of advertising, we said
two years ago that the city of Augusta
did more advertising in the Edgefield
Advertiser than the city of Charleston
did in all the country papers of the State
put together. Such is still the case.
Chester Reporter.
And Augusta has a real live business
provoking and wide-awake commercial
coinmunity,-men who know that judicious
advertising pays, and therefore invest
liberally in printer's ink. And see the
result: In Charleston, (whero the mer
chants save money by not advertising,)
dull stagnation and a fearful lack of ani
mation and enterprise is observable on
all sides. Whilst in Augusta (where the
merchants make money by advertising
far and wide,) all is life and activity ; the
city Ls rapidly extending its limits ; new
and splendid buildings . ? constantly
going up ; new merchants are coming in ;
the older merchants are increasing the
capacity of their stores and adding to
their stocks; railroads are being built,
and canals opened,-and the brightest
prospects of a golden harvest arc loom
ing up in the near future.
Wo would rejoice to know that Charles
ton was regaining and extending her
wonted commercial prosperity. But be
fore this desirable consummation can be
attained, her merchants must change
their tactics. In short, they must seek
customers and trade through thc columns
of the newspaper press of tho interior.
Let them inform the people of Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama and Florida concern
ing thc inducements they can and will
offer to all in want ofmerchandi.se; t'n
vite customers from abroad to examine
their wholesale and retail stocks, before
seeking other and perhaps inferior mar
kets. Do this, ye merchants of Charles
ton, and ere long your gloomy repinings
will be changed to songs of joy and re
joicing.
- " Home and Health."
Every family needs a high-toned, fresh
and practical "health journal. Homebooks
of Medicine and Hygiene are expensive,
and of very limited circulation, -and
many of them are not adaplcl to the
masses, and will not reach them. Be
sides, most of them cont in matter which
should not go under the eye of the young
er members of the family. A journal
which avoids technical and mere profes
sional phrazes, and the treatment of all
improper subjects, which is not written
in the interest of any medical party dr
clique, and whose publishers are not
committed to any hobby, is needed eve
rywhere. Such a journal is " Health and
Home."
The terms aro purposely placed low HO
IS to insure the widest possible circula
ron. The subscription price, only $1,50,
s less then the cost of a single visit of a
practicing physician. Surely the constant .
iresence of such a magazine in the fami- ,
y will pay. At the close of the year the ,
lumbers will make a most interesting .

For tho Advertiser.
A Tour to the Mountains.
Dear Advertiser-During g''fJhort visit
recently to Greenville, I c??ciuded to
take a trip to the mountain^*'which ap
pear fife th?/wall or division line between
North an?; South Carolina. We dtj&ded
however to keep within our^wir$State,
and wenti? Caesar's .Head,'.^her? there,
is a comfortable hote?j situated upon the
summit ~bf a spe?&Of tho ^ino'^idge,
and over wliich hotel presides a gallant
ex-ubnfederate soldier and a worthy
Southern gentleman, Mr. JosErn CAR
SON. He met us at the piazza, as usual,
and welcomed us m?'st kindly and cour
teously, and made, us feel perfectly at
home. We soon w$r? asked to, join him
in a Mint Julep, wh'icn we, out'of regard
for our old friend, incontinently did, and.
found the Julep superb, and enjoyed it
very' much. Shortly .after, supper was
announced, and that choico beefsteak,
excellent bread, sweet rriounta?n butter,
and delightful coffee we will not speedily
forget. In fact, tho fare and nice clean
condition of the house and rooms of the
Caesar's Head Hotel is not surpassed at
1 any of the Hotels at watering places
which it has been 'our good fortune to
visit . . i . ' rf?iC *;'..?; ?
' The next morning we. .went to taken
view of Ceasar's Head, situate about one
quarter of a mile from the Hotel, and
dur polite friend, Mr. Carson, accompa
nied us, and pointed out the points of in
terest. Wliy it is called Ceasar's Head
instead of Pompey's, Alexander's, or
any other man,-even yours, Mr. Editor,
-I cannot say, but Wo saw tho Head.
It is on a summit, and an edge of the
precipice, and which precipice towers
some 3,500 feet above the level of the sea',
Standing on this mountain peak, is open
ed to your view a portion of three Coun
ties in South Carolina and a glimpse of
Georgia. The view and scenery is pic
turesquely grand and grandly magnifi
cent^-equal to any of the beautiful, scenic
views of Switzerland. And I would ad
vise many of tho men in Edgefield, and
some of the women too, to take a tour to
Caesar's Head,-not only on account of
tho pleasure of the trip and the beauty
of tho scenery, but also to get, liko your
humble correspondent, so near the Hea
vens, and remain as long as possible, as
they will probably never again have so
good an opportunity of getting so near
" the home of the blessed."
After gazing to our satisfaction at old
Julius' Head and the surrounding scene
ry, we descended down & path and enter
ed what is called his mouth, a large cavi
ty in this immense rock, and resembling
at a distance a mouth, taking aside view.
Sight-seeingover,' we retraced our steps
and repaired again to the hospitable quar
ters of our Hotel, and resumed our
"practico at tho bar"-and those pure
" corn whiskey juleps," "corn whiskey
toddies" and "corn whiskey straights"
we found superbly excellent, and soon
began to feel quite comfortable and ex
tremely jovial and happy.
Next morning we left the Hotel bright
and early for Greenville, where wo ar
rived safely, and rested two days, and
then proceeded on.ourway to old Edge
field, via Laurens C. H. and Ninety-Six.
Laurens is now in a worse condit. m for
railroad facilities than Edgefield. We
are near enough to Augusta to haul our
; produce, even without a Railroad, but
we have that within six miles of us. But
Laurens has no railroall communication
nearer than Ninety-Six, which is 25 miles
distant. The old road from Laurens to
Newberry is not in running order, and
never will be, although the ent rprising
Ringwho have charge of the Greenville
it Columbia Railroad make frequent
promises of building a " narrow gauge'"
to Laurens, which they have no idea of
doing.
From all I could gather from conver
sation with the citizens above and at
Laurens C. H., and. between, there and
Ninety-Six, I found that the repairing or
rebuilding of the old Road was not at all
desirable, but that they all'wanted a road
built along the very linc which I see
mentioned in your paper of thc 10th, and
for which road tho notice of application
for a charter is given. It is a feasible
project and very popular route, and there
it? nothing in the wa}' to prevent its being
carried forward to completion. To Lau
rens and Edgelidld, this road is of tho
lir.st importance, Imf. i ts completion would
add materially to tho interest of Augusta,
as thousands of bales of cotton would
thereby bc thrown into its market which
otherwise would not got there. And
I consulting her own interest, hs Augusta
always docs, she will no doubt, in con
cert with the people of Laurens and
Edgefield, subscribe largely to this Rail
road enterprise.
This is tho accepted timo to strike for a
Railroad. Let every man, woman and
child In Edgefield, givooncpull, a strong
pull, and a pull altogether, ?md old Edge
held will j'et bo hauled from the mud.
Promising to write you again on this
Railroad scheme, ? will now close, hop
ing in thc meantime, Mr. Editor, that
you will keep the 1 rdl rqlling until our
grand undertaking is crowned with suc
cess. . O

^3B~ A Berlin, Germany, telegram of
tho 18th, says : "Cholora has appeared
in the neighborhood of Stettin. The dis
ease continues its ravages at K?nigsberg,
whore on Tuesday there were seventy
new cases and thirty-four deaths, and
on Wednesday eight new cases and twen
ty-seven deaths. A dispatch from Su
walki, Poland, says cases of cholera are
decreasing. La that town, whoso popu
lation does not exceed 0000, about one
half of whom aro Jews, there havo been
443 cases of disease, 83 of which were
fatal.
_^~One suspicion in regard to the
Mrs. Wharton poisoning case, has been
cleared away. Thc physician who ex
amined the stomach of Henry G. Whar
ton, one of the alleged victims, reports
that he found no traces of poison. Thus
tho cbargo against Mrs. Wharton of poi
soning her own son falls to the ground.
&S3~ A Virginia editor, in noticing thc
statement that tight-lacing saves the
country $2,000,000 annually in board
alone, says it is a villainous and habitual
lie. He knows a girl who laces so tight
that his arm will go round hor and lap
over clear to thc elbow ; and ono wouldn't
think, to look at her, that she could cat
anything but soup, but she's got an ap
petite like a cross-cut saw, and she mows
\ swath at a table like a self-raking
reaper.
^ay~The Mexican muddle remains
nixed. Juarez counts a majority, but
lasn't got lt, and threatens to retire to
irivato lifo in disgust, which everybody
i'elieves he won't, and so both parties j
re arming. ? J

OBIT tf
Mn Memoriam?
DIED, at Elmwood, the residence of hi
father, on the 6tH inst., J AMES ADAM
NICHOLSON, eldest son- of Mr. S. W
and the late Mrs. SUSAN A. NICHOLSON
in the 32d year of his agc. ?
But little more than one year ago h
stood by, and ministered to the suffering
of his dying mother. She who had guide
his childhood steps to1 the Saviour im
served, and who lighted her path throng]
the dark galley of .the shadow of death
His disposition'was of that amiable am
quiet cast that made fast friends of thoa
who were attracted to him . He was kin
to all, was loved by many. From hi
earliest to his mature manhood, he neve
made an enemv. Instead of delightin
in saying tilings calculated to injure hi
fellow creatures, which is BO abhorentt
God, of taking pleasure in that detestabl
love of scandal that would malign his ac
quaintances, he followed the.examplac
his beloved mother, in never speakin
slightingly of others, and of such i
Heaven composed.' He had been fo
years a member ofihe Church, and h
exemplified his Christian character b;
the patient arid resigned manner in whic
he bore the long and tedious illnes? c
three years; for it was that fell and insi
tiable disease, Consumption, thatcutbir
down'in the summer of life. He at las
fe'l asleep in death as gently and calml
as i-, babe soothed in its mother's arms.
He has left a sorrowing father-wh
had looked forward to the time when p
should be a prop and support to him i
the autumn of his years-several tovin
sisters, and an only brotherto mourn hi
loss. Peace be to his memory.
He foll ere the meridian sun
Of manhood's splendor shed its rays ;
When life in-all'its varied joys,
Should make him wish for length <
days.
But*ph ! there is a home on high,
Where pain or sickness never come;
Where endless pleasures never die,
And flowers perennial ever bloom.
There Jesus lives and reigns supremo,
And gathers all his loved ones near ;
No age shall dim their shining brows,
But crowns of youth they all shall wea
S. A. L.
DIED, on the 12th of July, in Fernai
dina, Fla., CHARLIE HAYWAR
SWEARENGIN, aged 27.
A wife and twd children, under th
4will of Him who holds the ''keys of li
and death," have thus been bereaved <
a beloved husband and luther. He di
his duty in thar* state of life, in whic
it had pleased God to call him, with dil
gonce and Mthfulness.
Though it is a high thing-a solem
thing to dio,-a special coming out of tl
sphere of ordinary Law into tho Depar
ment of Divine Perogativc, yet, whe
the summons came, he was not unpri
Jared for tho wonderful event. He ha
evoted no little time, no few days, i
the higher interest of his soul. He wt
resigned to the will of his Lord and Si
viour. He died in tho faith of Chri?
crucified, having the testimony of a goo
conscience ; in the confidence of a cei
tain faith ; in tho comfort of a'reasonabl
religious and holy hope. ' J.
DIED, on the 6th May, at the resident
of her sister, Miss SUSAN A. Di
|:LAUGHTER, aged, 41 years.
She was for twenty years a member <
the Baptist Church at Sweetwater.
She leaves a large family and circle <
friends, to mourn her loss, and to admii
tho principles- of truth which adorne
her life.
In her protracted illness, her deep an
enlightened knowledge of Christ, h(
Lord, cast a ray of cheerfulness over ht
sufferings. So when death came, h
found her wilting for her Lord, H
himself trod the dark avenue of dcatl:
He himsolf passed through into ih
realms of the unseen. There arc hi
footsteps, all along tho path, even whet
the shadows gather thickest round it,
^LS there were the footsteps of the priesi
I jail along the deepest bed of Jordai
Said her faith: "His footsteps,-tun
?Himself, is. there." Is it -not. writtci
" Though I walk through tiie valley <
the shadow of death, I will fear no cvi
for thou art with me." ' J.
