For a month or so a marked decline of her bodily powers had been noted, but at no time confined to her room, and retaining her native energy and vigor of mind she to the day of her death assisted in th? every-day concerns of the home. On the day of her death she had dined with the family, and, as was her custom, sought the refreshing rest of sleep. She appeared to sleep longer than was her wont, however, and an effort was made to rouse her. when it was found that life was extinct/ She had passed away with out sigh or struggle. The measure of her long life .was crowded to tho full with good deeds, and none can be found to say aught against her. She was never heard to utter a harsh criticism of any one, and was often known kindly to rebuke this in others. She was remarkable for the utter absence of extremes in her temperament. In mature womanhood, August 29, 1S"A the date of her marriage with Mr. Shelor, she took upon herself the care of a family of motherless children, and so well did she perform this delicate task j that these now ripe with age rise up and tall her blessed. Her home life in all its relations was ideal in the fullest sense, and is. therefore, worthy of imitation. She was a sister of Messrs. D. D. and L. IT. Verne;, of Retreat, and of Mrs. Jane Stribling, of Richland. she uinted with Retreat Presbyterian church in 1849 and to the end of her life uniformly adorned her profession of religion. Only a short while ago she spoke calmly of her departure as ct hand and signified unmistakably that her house was in order. On the 20th, after appropriate and ! impressive funeral services at the family ! residence, conducted by her pastor, the Rev. Newton Smith, her body, tenderly borne by her nephews, the Messrs. Strib ling. was laid to rest beside that of ber husband in the family burying ground hard by. W. A. DICKSON. Breezes from the Mountains. box?. CHEEK, S. C.. January 23, 1893. DEAS COURIER: This (Monday) morn ing the sun is shining much warmer, the snow is rapidly disappearing, our ink, as well as ourselves, is-beginning to thaw, and we venture once more to make known our whereabouts to thc readers of the COTTRTER. Rabbits, partridges and school teachers were snowed in last week; about a hun dred were killed (we mean rabbits) on last Thursday. It wasn't a good day for rabbits either. Others, who were more fortunate, had the good luck of killing a deer, and we came in one of getting some of that oeer to eat. Mr. Lewis Rothell has the finest boy in tlie county. He is only five months old and weighs 30 pounds. Within a radius of twelve ?niles there are living seventy-five persons whose ages average 65 years and upw.-.rds. ?Vhat sa;, est thou as to this being a healthy country? Notwithstanding the cold weather our mail rider has faithfully performed his duty, riding as far as thirty-five miles in a day to bring us the news of the week, ne certainly knows tho value of news papers. How many others there be like him? On Thursday morning last the snow was falling heavy and had been previ ously the night and day before. Our Auditor, who was on his assessment trip, became somewhat alarmed at the weather outlook. From the appearance of things he must have thought he would be snowed in up herc and rations wouid run short. Anyhow, on the day above men tioned, he harnessed his n g and started South, a distance of thirty-five miles, to his home, in the lower edge of the county. Now, Mr. Auditor, you must not judge us by our looks. Our smoke houses may look lean and little on the outside, but they, like ourselves, deceive their looks, and so far as the snow is com t i ned, you may have far worse obsta cles than it to coutend with. Generally speaking, when aman dies his faults are kept silent by the cold charities of the world, and his virtues are lauded with praise to the skies. But with om; man in history we find this not to lie the case, ami that is Benj. Butler, [f it Kc true that a man's true value is to be known by the-numberof enemies he has. surely this man was one of most extraordinary abilities. However mean a man may be, if we can't say enough about him while he is living we ought to have charity enough when he dies to remember his virtues and leave his unfor tunate history in the grave where he is.

A sixtcen-yea.--old girl reads a lecture to the young men in a Lincoln county paper. She exclaims: "Why do the young men of Edgecomb do so much loafing? Go to work! Push ahead! I am but a young girl: I have clothed myself, and got money in the bank, and only sixteen years old. I lay up more money ?very year of my life than any" boy or young man within a radius of three miles of my home. Whe* they get a dollar they go to a dance and go home a dollar out My father is able to sup port me, but I choose to support myself. I advise all girls to cut clear of those loafing boys. Give them a wide berth and never marry a man unless he is able to support you; and never put your ann through the handle of a rum jug." - Rev. Thomas K. Beecher, having asked for a newspaper to read while waiting in a restaurant, and the attendant having asked "what paper," the level headed divine is-thus quoted: "What paper? "I don't care, so it's a .newspaper. No matter how old it is, either, for I never saw a newspaper but what one cou-f rind something of interest in it," - Dr. Taimase on Home. COLOMBIA, S. C., January 22.-Tn tb course of his lecture in this city Dr. Tal raage gave vent to a threnody on "Home," which showed that it was "deep imagined in his soul." It was an eloquent word picture, which was rap turously applauded by the audience. ? In speaking of the trials and sorrows ol life he said that he offered home as a pre ventive, as an inspiration, as a restraint. "Home!" said h?. "Charmed word! Through that word thrills untold melody: laughing children: the sound of well known footsteps; the voices of undying affection. Home! I hear in that word the ripple of meadow brooks, in which we knee-deep wade: the lowing of the cattle as they come from the pasture: the short scythe cuttiug the thickening grass; the creaking of the hay-rack when we trampled down the load. Home! Upon that word the sunshine of boyhood and girlhood, and the tender sorrows and reflections of ten thousand fond memo ries cluster! When I see that word in any book or newspaper the word seems to arise and sparkle, and leap and thrill and whisper and chant and pray and weep. It glitters like a shield, it springs up like a fountain; it thrills like a song: it twinkles like a star: it leaps like a flame; it glows like a sunset; it sings like an angel; and if some lexicographer, urged on by a spirit from beneath, should seek to cast forth that word from our language, the children would come forth and hang it with a garland of dowers: the wealthy would come forth and cover it with their diamonds and pearls; kings would hide it under their thrones and coronets; and some bright day it would flash from under thc gems, and the word ! would read out as brilliant and fair and ' beautiful and resonant as before. Home! Home!! Home!!! Strength and Health. If you are not feeling strong and healthy try Electric Bitters. If "la ; grippe" has left you weak and weary use ; Electric Bitters. This remedy acts directly j on the liver, stomach and kidneys, gently aiding those organs to perform their' functions.
