THURSDAY MOKXING, JULY 24, 1870.
Hon. Henry Hartzog, one of the most
practical and influential of the represen?
tatives from Barnwell County, died at
his residence, two miles from Bamberg,
on last Saturday morning, after an illness
of two days. Mr. Hartzog wa3 a most
excellent gentleman, and his death will
be regretted wherever he was known:
Since our last issue about fifty new
? cases of yellow fever have been reported
in Memphis, and tho disease is now ad?
mitted to have become epidemic there.
The citizens are flocking from the place
in vast numbers, and the prospect is very
gloomy for its fatnre. Death stares
those who remain in the face, while ut
ter financial ruin is ahead for a large
portion of those who flee. There is from
present appearance nothing but gloom
and depopulation ahead of this once fair
and prosperous metropolis.
The Gainesville Eagle very pertinently
pr opounds the question: "Can a man
with money and friends be hung in
Georgia?" Our contemporary answers
this in the negative, and we fear the
samo answer would he correct if the ter?
ritory was extended to embrace this
whole country. It is becoming frightful
to see how crime can be committed with
immunity by those who are willibg to
spend a little money in securing an ac?
quittal. Scarcely a day passes that we
do not meet with instances of fearful
murders in different parts of the United
States, and yet hangings are*very rare
occurrences. It is time for the officers
of the law, from Judges down, to do
their duty. Juries should convict where
'guilt is proven, and then a certain hang?
ing should follow the verdict.

Judge David C. Humphreys, of the
Supreme Court of the District of Co?
lumbia, died at his residence in Fairfax
County, Virginia, on Saturday, the 12th
inst He was the Judge who ruled in
the Patterson cose that a United States
Senator was free from arrest during the
session of Congress upon charges of
bribery and corruption. This decision
was purely partisan, and the memory of
? the departed Judge will pass to oblivion
beneath the cloud of contempt which he
raised for himself throughout the whole
country. It is not thought that Mr.
Hayes, with all of his acquaintance with
the corrupt politicians of the day, will
be able to nominate a worse man as his
successor, and if he does Congress will
most certainly not confirm him.
A dispatch to the News and Courier,
of the 17th instant, says that important
changes are to be made in the Greenville
and Columbia Railroad very soon, and,
upon inquiry, we hear that the change
will consist in the appointment of a new
Superintendent to take the place of Col.
Dodamead, who has resigned and leaves
the road the first of August We hope
this report is incorrect, for Col. Dodamead
has proven, in every respect, eminently
qualified for the post he has held for the
past five or six years, and we would dis?
like to see him retire. We may, how?
ever, res* assured that a good man will
be substituted in his place if he should
retire, for General Connor will have the
selection of the new Superintendent.
Whether any other changes are to be
made, report does not answer.
A telegram from Albany, New York,
on last Saturday, says: "An explosion
took place on the "steamer Drew last
night while on the way from New York,
to this city. Several cans of powder bad
been placed in the state-room, and a fuse
attached to each. The state-room was'
shattered, and the wood work in the
vicinity of the explosion was badly dam?
aged, but fortunately no person was in?
jured. The lights were all extinguished
and there was the wildest excitement for
a few moments. A man who gave his
name as Henry Evans was arrested on j
board this morning on suspicion of being
the person who caused the explosion."
It really does look like all of the law?
lessness of the country does not reside
South of Masou and Dixon's line. The
Times or Tribune either might preach a
sermon over this attempt to destroy sev?
eral hundred persons, simply for the fun
of an explosion, which would be as in?
teresting and powerful as any of their
discourses on the "bloody shirt" horrors
of the South. The only trouble, we [
presume, is that the crimes committed in
their midst are frequently so heinous that
it would be impossible to do the subject
justice, and therefore they do not under?
take the hopeless task, but ply their lec?
tures to the South over cases which they
feel equal to the task of properly com?
menting upon.
The Washington Post shows how much
it knows of the agricultural problem in
the following paragraph, which it offers
in the; way of a consolatory prophecy :
It should reconcile the average reader
to tho intense heat which we are now
enduring to reflect that, without it there
could be no corn. A hot Summer means
an abundant corn crop, and plenty of
that cereal will give the country cheap
whisky. This should be satisfying to the
natural man.
Our contemporary should remember
that heat is only one of the essen?
tials for a good crop year, and that a
sufficient quantity of moisture is equally
necessary. Therefore, as there have
been very long and widespread droughts
throughout the corn-growing section, it
is likely to result in a short crop, and
th'j fact that heat is one of the elements
r>[ production, does not make us rejoice
at its presence when the other necessary
elements arc absent. Our contemporary
had as well go to a hungry man who has
plenty of fire but no dough, and con?
gratulate him upon the fine bread he will
have. Heat is one of the necessary ele?
ments in making good bread, but it does
not amount to mnch without the dough
to bake: so it is that heat will not make
much corn without it is accompanied by
a good amount of moisture.
? A telegram was received last night
from Hon. J. C. Robertson, brother of
ex-Senator Robertson, of South Carolina,
dated Chicago, stating that son of the ex
senator, named T. S. Robertson, was shot.
The dispatch contained nothing more
definite than this. Mr. Robertson, who is
at the White Sulphur Springs, was in?
formed by .telegraph of the news.?
. Washington Post Juhj 17th.
The Southern vote in the National Re?
publican Nominating Convention is still
a source of discord among the stalwarts.
This vote is the balance of power iu the
party, and, if admitted into the Conven?
tion, will control the nomination. There
is a proposition to refuse admission to
the Southern delegations, and this pro?
gramme is favored by many prominent
men in the parly, but is opposed by the
leaders who.expect to utilize this vote to
assist in their nomination. Blaine ob?
tained the bulk of the Southern vote in
1876, and calculates that he will be able
to hold it in 18S0. John Sherman thinks
that he will be able to carry the South?
ern vote in the Convention of 1S80, by
giving his Treasury appointments to the
most disreputable elements of the South?
ern Republican party. The friends of
Grant are Of the opinion that he will be
able to carry the Southern delegations,
because the negroes look upon him as the
embodiment of the party which set them
free. Thus the elements of the national1
Republican party are not altogether har?
monious. The party in favor of admit?
ting the Southern delegations, in our
opinion, will prove strongest, nnd after
the nomination is made the members of
the party in the North and West will be
very much disgusted to see that the nom?
ination has been dictated by the repre?
sentatives of the ignorant and corrupt
portion of the party, nnd that too the
portion which will not give a single vote
in the electoral college. The Radicals
have been making a great deal of noise
against the solid South, and well may
they give expression to their alarm. The
soli&South presents the handwriting upon
the wall to Republicanism. It announces
the death of the party of hate and usurp?
ation. Henceforth the Democracy will
? be gainers by the solid South. It will
gain votes on the positive side of the
problem, and on the negative side will
injure the Republicans by producing dis?
affection within their ranks.
A special dispatch to the New York
Sun from Washington, under date of
July 18, makes the following statement,
which interests the people of South Car?
olina, for we have n? doubt that there
is some foundation for the information
given:
There is to be a sweeping change in
the Federal officers in South Carolina.
This change will soon be announced.
Certain South Carolina Republicans have
been in this city within the last few days,
representing that South Carolina could
be carried for the Republicans in 1880 in
case the right kind of Federal officehold?
ers are placed in authority. Those now
in place are men who are timid and luke?
warm in their Republicanism, and have
not the requisite backbone to stand up
against the tissue-ballot frauds and in?
timidating processes of the chivalry.
What is needed, these Republicans say,
is a class of men brave enough to enforce
the national election in the face of death,
intimidation and personal insult It is
claimed that the present Federal office?
holders in that State are either overawed
by the Democrats who are now in power,
or else have formed affiliations with them
that destroy their party usefulness.
There is no doubt that the Republican
leaders have been seriously contemplat?
ing a movement for the resuscitation of
the party in this State, but the above an?
nouncement is no doubt premature, for
if attempted now it will fail. The new
I officers appointed to carry out the pro?
gramme would be rejected by the Demo?
cratic Senate, which would restore the
present incumbents. The administration
will most probably not begin this change
until after the adjournment of the next
aessioiurf Congress, when it could easily
and effectively be carried out, so far as
the changes would go. This contingency
will in all probability be avoided by a
long session of Congress. This is our
first consolation. The next is that, if it
should take place, we would still be able
completely to demolish the remnant of
Republicanism in South Carolina.
Chastine Cox, the colored man who
killed Mrs. Hull in New York recently,
has already been tried, convicted of mur?
der, and sentenced tobe hung on the 29th
day of August next. He is a negro, and
therefore the New Yorkers do not hesi?
tate to have a hanging in his case. He
richly deserves it, but then the point we
want to make is, that the Northern peo?
ple do not mind enforcing the law when
it is only necessary to hang a negro in
order to do so, but in the coses of white
murderers they seem to be more scrupu?
lous, or at least hangings have about
"played out" there in the cases of rich
murderers. We would not point out the
peculiarities of this case except for the
fact that the New York Radical papers
place no limit to the lies and abuse they
heap upon the South, in consequence of
which we occasionally like to give our
contemporaries of that city a likeness of
the way they appear to outsiders in the
administration of justice. If they will
attend to their own section and let ouis
alone, they will have a very good hand
full of work. In sentencing the pris?
oner Judge Cowing, amid the most pro?
found silence, said:
Chastine Cox, I would fain believe
that your heart goes not with the laugh
depicted upon your countenance during
the progress of this trial; that your con?
duct has in no way indicated your right
reeling. The jury has been of your own
selection, and they have carefully con?
sidered your case, the result of which is
that they find you guilty of a horrible
offence which will inflict upon you a
most ignominious death. I believe that'
you have had a fair and impartial trial.
Let me urge upon you not to rest your
hopes of escape from the penalty of
death byflfrust in any of the devices of
the law, Tut let your time bo spent in
preparing for that momentous change
which must inevitably come as the result
of this trial. You have broken more
than one law?you have committed bur?
glary, you have committed grand larce?
ny aud you have committed murder, and
you are now to pay the penalty of these
crimes. The sentence of the Court is
that you be taken from this place to the
prison from whence you came, and there,
on the 29th of August, between the
houra of 9 a. m. and 4 p. m., be taken to
the prison yard, and there be hanged by
the neck until you are dead, and may
God have mercy upon your soul.
The jury was out sixty-seven minutes,
which was thought to be a long time.
In explanation of this one of the jury
said to a reporter of the Herald that two
of the jurymen were at the first disposed
to bring in a verdict of murder in the
second degree, but after a general con?
versation which the jury had as to the
effect of-the evidence, they voluntarily
joined their colleagues in returning a
verdict of murder in the first degree.

Charleston News aiid Courier: On
Wednesday morning, at 9 o'clock, Mr. J.

was sitting in the bar, 227 East Bay, north
of Market street, and was startled by an
explosion in a room in the rear occupied
by himself and Mr. Nordmeyer as a sleep?
ing apartment. He hurried back, and
found Mr. Nordmeyer lying on his bed
on his back, in his underclothes, with his
head resting On the pillow. His left hand
lay at his side grasping a small looking
glass, while his right was partly over his
breast, still holding a silver-mounted
I seven-barreled revolver. A small hole
in his right temple, about on a line with
the eye, from which the blond poured
profusely, told of the tragedy that had
I just been enacted. Mr. Nordmeyer was
quite dead, never breathing nor giving
the least symptom of animation in re?
sponse to the appeals of Mr. Shaw, who
could hardly realize that his friend was
really no more. His eyes were closed
and iiis face peaceful and quiet in its ex?
pression. He had risen at about his
usual hour and sent Mr. Shaw to market,
nothing peculiar being noticed in his
conduct or conversation. After return?
ing to his room he had apparently un?
dressed and bathed, shaved and put on
fresh undergarments, only omitting his
collar and cravat. The position of the
body showed that he had probably taken
fhe pistol and looking-glass, arranged
himself on the bed, sat up and deliberate?
ly shot himself, holding the weapon a
short distance from his head and using
the mirror to direct his aim. The ball, a
small one, had ranged somewhat back?
wards and buried itself in the interior of
his skull. Around the wound were a few
stains of powder. Death must have been
instantaneous. Mr. Nordmeyer had suf?
fered for a long time from a painful and
almost incurable disease, and had been
frequently heard to remark that he would
bloiv his brains out and end his tortures.
How a Thief Was Killed by a
Constable.?Fork of UdUto, July 15.?
The wonted serenity of the Fork was a
little disturbed on Friday last by reports
current that Cudjoe Huggins, colored,
who lived on Mr. A. S. Jennings's plan?
tation, was shot and instantly killed by
Constable William Evans, white.
The facts as established by tho evi?
dence at the coroner's inquest are about
as follows:
Mr. John Ilutton, a white citizen, who
lives in pretty close proximity to Hug
gins, some time ago had removed from
or near his premises a plough and plough
stock. With an eye ever on the alert lor
the stolen property, he finally traced it
to Huggins. He at once instituted pro?
ceedings for the recovery of his property
and the arrest of the guilty parties. On
last Friday about 10 o'clock a. in., Con?
stable Evans accompanied by Mr. Hutto
and Mr. Wash Kettrell, the manufactur?
er of the plough, as identifiers, repaired
on horseback to tho hut of Scipio and
Cudjoe Huggins. The two men were
found in the field near the house at work.
Mr. Evans stated the object of this visit
and the charge against them, when Cud
[ joe Huggins became highly incensed, and,
abusing Mr. Hutto in obscene and harsh
terms, made for him and endeavored to
draw him from his saddle. Mr. Hutto
drew his revolver, but, thinking discre?
tion the better part of valor, returned it
to its case. At this stage of the difficul?
ty Mr. Evans (constable) commanded
the peace, but Huggins ignored the com?
mand altogether. Air. Evans then dis?
mounted from his horse, and approaching
Huggins in the rear, touched nun on the
shoulder, saying: "I arrest you in the
name of the State." Huggins then, by a
knock with the left hand, forced .Mr. Ev?
ans from him, and relinquishing his grasp
upon Mr. Hutto, faced about and con?
fronted Mr. Evans. Just as he faced Mr.
Evans discharged his pistol, the ball en?
tering the breast just below the left nip?
ple, passed through the heart and lodged
in or near the vertebral column, produc?
ing instant death.
Scipio Huggins has since been lodged
iu the county jail, where I suppose he
will remain until court, and the take his
abode in the State Penitentiary, where
he has a son serving out au unexpircd
term for petty or grand lerceuy. J
I Recent Chniurcs In Fiirmnn University.
Geeenvii.u-:, July IS.
An important meeting of the trustees
of Furman University has just been held
in Columbia, Iho decisions Of which will
be of especial interest to many of your
rendaft: ...
It is Known throughout the State that
owing to the great difficulty of collecting
the endowment subscribed within the last
five or sis years, or even the interest on
the bonds given for current expenses, the
Faculty of the University resigned their
several chairs at the close of the hi't ses?
sion to enable the trustees lo effect, if
possible, a more substantial organization.
At the annual meeting of the trustees in
Greenville, during the recent Commence?
ment week, the "situation " was thorough?
ly discussed, but only initiative steps could
be taken. The board, after holding many
anxious sessions, adjourned to meet again
in Columbia, ou the 10th instant. The
members in attendance were Messrs. G.
R. Wells, J. C. Smith, \V. C. Lindsay,
J. A: W. Thomas; J. Stout, Wm. Thayer,
T. F. Smith and J. A. Chx.mbliss. Other
gentlemen who could not be present gave
very important counsel in writing. It is
gratifying to be able to state that the
measures approved were adopted with
entire unanimity, and afford a prospect
of continued, perhaps of enlarged, use?
fulness for this venerable institution.
The nest session will open at the usual
time, the 15th of September. The facul?
ty will consist of three professors and two
tutors. The Rev. Dr. <f. C. Furman *as
elected to the chair of English, including
metaphysics and belle lettres; Prof. C.
H. Judson to the chair of Mathematics
and general physics, and Prof. D. Town
send Smith to the chair of Ancient Lan?
guages. The tutors are to be nominated
by the faculty and appointed by the ex?
ecutive board of the trustees. There will
not be a preparatory department; bnt in
connection with each school of the Uni?
versity a course of study will be provided
adapted to the wants of those students
who may not be sufficiently advanced to
take up strictly collegiate studies. Thus
the studies of the school of mathematics
may begin with higher arithmetic and
elementary algebra T the school of Eng?
lish with English grammar, history, etc.;
the school of languagues with the Latin
or Greek grammar. Each professor will
have esclusive control of his own school,
and conduct its studies with tho assist?
ance of one or both of the tutors. The
completion of tho course in any school
will be rewarded with a diploma and the
degree cf graduate in that school;
Free tuition will still be offered to all
who come, not in the manner or sense of
a charity, but simply as a return for the
endowment given to the University by
the friends of higher education in the
State. This endowment has been given,
although so little of it has yet been actu?
ally delivered. It was thought by the
trustees hot long ago that it would be
necesary to ask of the obligators the
linguishment of the obligation on Se
part of the University to furnish free tui?
tion, because the collection of interest
and principal on the bonds was too slow
to meet current expenses, But it xraa
finally decided to go on without a change
in this respect, in the hope that all who
have given bonds and who are yet in ar?
rears will now more than ever feel the
importance of paying up as rapidly as
possible.
Surely no man who can by any honor?
able means obtain the money to pay even
a small part of his indebtedness to the
University will neglect longer to do so,
when he sees the determination of the
trustees of the noble faculty to fulfil at
whatever sacrifice the contract by which
free tuition was pledged. This contract
on the part of each obligator was certain?
ly not less binding than on the part of
the University trustees. What then?
Will any obligator say that the trustees
were deceived when they accepted hit
bond a? good and reliable? Or will he
not rather prove that they did well to
trust him, by immediate payment of some
.portion of his debt?
The number of students next session
will doubless be increased by the new or?
ganization of schools in the University,
and especially by the opportunity now
afforded for those to enter who are not
prepared to begin the regular collegiate
course. Also, it is expected that an ar?
rangement will be made to furnish any
number of students with excellent board
at a cost not exceeding ten dollars amonth.
With an able, experienced faculty a com?
plete course of study, board at ten dol?
lars, and tuition free, what youug man in
the State cannot obtain an education that
will fit him to make the most of himself
in life? Let the halls of this grand old
seat of learning bo crowded nest fall;
but, oh, for sweet pity's sake, let the
bonds be paid that the devoted teachers
may not suffer.? Cor. of the Charleston
News and Courier.
Attempted Murder in Greenville.
A most brutal attempt was made on
night before bust by some unknown vil?
lain to take the life of our esteemed young
townsman, John M. Timmons, step-sou
of Dr. J. w. Norwood. The report of
the cowardly outrage which circulated
yesterday with the "wind, caused much
excitement, and eager inquiry was made
on every hand for the particulars of the
affair, and after the welfare of the woun?
ded man.
Seeking the most reliable source of in?
formation to gather the facts of the case,
we sought Dr. Norwood, and from him we
gathered the following particulars: Mr.
rimmons is a member of the Greenville
Guards, and was iu line with the Compa?
ny to meet and receive the Sumter Guards
from Charleston on day before yesterday
afternoon. After the reception, and after
the Companies had dispersed, Mr. Tim?
mons went home about 11 o'clock, to pre?
pare for a trip to the mountains yesterday,
spending some lime in packing his bud?
get, and making necessary preparations
for the trip. About 1 o'clock he retired to
bed in his room on tho sccoud floor. He
had been in bed but a few minutes when
he heard the tin roof crack ou the up
stairs portico when he took the pains to
see what it meant, and seeing nothing he
retired, leaving the lamp burning. The
cracking on the tin roof was again indis?
tinctly heard, but this time Mr. Tim?
mons paid no attention lo it, and was
soon fast asleep. From this time Mr.
Timmons has no clear recollection of
what happened. At near 2 o'clock Dr.
and Mrs. Norwood were aroused by Mr.
Timmons' appearance down stairs call?
ing "Father, Father, come here." Dr.
Norwood sprang from his bed to find
young Timmons laboring under consider?
able mental excitement, almost insensi?
ble, with a great gash in the right side
of his neck and his right arm paralyz?
ed. During the excitement that en?
sued the would-be murderer made his
escape down the back steps and through
an open window.
Mr. Timmons was taken into his
mother's bed room and medical aid sum?
moned. The servants were hastened up
stairs to Mr. Timmons' room where
Maxcy Timmons, a younger brother,
and I3arrett Rowland also slept. On
Mr. Timmons' bed was found an axe,
with which the almost fatal blow was
struck. Mr. Timmons, who was more or
less rational yesterday, has vague recol?
lections of a struggle with some one in
the room, :>ut nothing is clear to his
mind. The most plausable theory is,
that the assassin was secreted, probably,
outside of the baluster of the portico, j
and awaited his opportunity to destroy
the life of his victim at one fell blow, in
which he failed, and failing in the first
attempt, commotion ensued, and in his
precarious situation, made a hasty es?
cape. Mr. Timmons had money about
his person, which was afterwards found
concealed inside the bosom of his shirt.
The object of the thief was doubtless
robbery, and to make sure of his game, 1
thought with one stroke to accomplish
his purposo noiselessly. Near the win-1
clow where the villain is supposed to have
made hin escape' fresh tracks were seen,
but as yet no clue to the perpetrator of
the foul deed has been found.
Mr. Timmons' condition last night was
improved, and his wound is not consider?
ed dangerous.?Greenville News July 16th,
irairficld News find Herald: The Ce?
dar Creek section was visited with a ter?
rific thunder-storm on the 13th, but not
much damage was done. This was the
first rain for abont eight weeks. Up?
land corn, in consequence of the drought,
is a complete failure. Cotton general?
ly is good; only sn-Hl for the time of
year.
Marlboro' Planier: Pce-.?cc lliver is
lower now than it has been for fifteen
years.The steamers- failed again last
week to make the up trips. In conse?
quence large lots of freight for Bennetts
vllle have accumulated on the river with
no immediate prospect of early arrivals.
Orangeburg Democrat: At Knott's
Mill there was an excellent rain Sunday
evening, also a pretty heavy hail, which
beat the corn up badly, but did not in?
jure the cotton. Corn cut short up here
fully one-fourth by the drought.
Newberry News: It is reported that
upland corn is irreparably injured by the
drought. Cotton and bottom corn will
be rejuvenated by the rains, aud will yet
make crops.

in the GGth rear of her a?c, Mrs. ELEAKOB ST.
CLAIR BROWN, wife of Ihe late Mr. Daniel
llrown, one of Audeison's most honored and use?
ful citizens.
Oft In Ihe dawn of life's morning the Master
?summons His ?ervnnts from earth to Paradise;
betimes they fall asleep in tlic< beat and strife of
the noontide; rarely is it permitted them to linger
Mil the peace and. quiet of the closing day. And
when we erg called upon to mourn the departure
of one who !>?> almost reached the allotted span by
a lifo "hid in Christ with God." heedless, and vain
is the clfort to eulogize. .Sued a Hie I? its own en?
comium and exemplar. The object of titlesVeteh
is rather to present a sainted character for emula?
tion to others who may be toiling the weary ascent
hsavenward. .AJrcadv "her praise is in all the
Churches," her name "written in the Limb's book
3f /ife;" she lias passed triumphantly through the
dark valley, and now enjoys the rent that lemaln
cth for the ncoplc rf (.'od. Having b>;en born in
the faith of the Protcstanf Episcopal Church, at
the early age of fifteen year* she gave herself to
Christ, renewing then her baptismal rowi in the
holy rite of continuation. And thus her life was
one of continued growth in grace, and to its close
she remained devoted to her Church and work In
the Heavenly Master's vineyard. It was princi?
pally through the influence and earnest endeavors
of Mrs. Brown that Grace Church was built In
1800, from which time she was the controlling
I spirit of the I'ariih; nnd so long ns strength per?
mitted, she was never found absent from her ac
| custduicd sett In the Church she loved so well du?
ring its holy flnd bertutiful services. And such
consistent, dsvoted attendance upon Divine wor?
ship was not the least among those aired, gentle
Inllueuces and examples which she exercised npou
all with whom she was thrown. Her lifo was char?
acterized by the fruit of the Spirit, ' love, joy,
peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
meekness, temperance," aud ber's was that "purn
religion and undented, to visit the fatherless aud
widows In tbelr nlltlctlen, and to keep himself un?
spoiled from the world." Intellectual, rcllned,
sympathetic, porseislnp In an eminent degree true
benevolence, tier's was a nature quick to respond
to tho wants of her follow creatures, and ber un?
ostentatious charities will long be remembered by
many a recipient, who will only live to miss her,
and mourn their loss. Truly, her life has been a
"pattern of good works." and may her mantle fall
upon sonic one at tboee. who knew and loved her
well, and who would Wish to emulate her noble
example. When at length ill health caluc upon
her, with increasing feebleness, the last few years
of tier lift she was immersed within her own
home, during which time she was often an intense
sutlercr. i Jut as the hand of affliction pressed
heaviest, her Christian foititudc and resignation
beamed brightest. Who could have witnessed her
long, weary months of patient suffering, oniy
waiting for the final summons; or listened to her
trembling, subdued tones while she gave hercoun
sci and blessings to the loved ones who ministered
so faithfully and untiriegly to her every temporal
want; or heard the whisperings of a voice already
attuned to h melotly not of this earth, blessing and
praising Jehovah for His manifold mercies, despite
tho acute affliction He had sent upon her, without
fediug that the heroic ages of Faith navt not
wholly past, and that wc yet have saints among Us
"cf whom the world is not worthy?"
Hut at last the summons came for her to come up
higher, and as she lived, peacefully and calmly, so
she passed from death to life eternal! And alter
the spirit had takea its disembodied flight, an ex?
pression of inexpressible serenity impressed Itself
upon her placid face and lips, and liugered there,
speaking more eloquently than any words the
emotions of the soul released from its fetters and
entering the realms of the blest.
Yes, she is gone! well beloved Mother, Sister
and Friend. Uone, nnd yet with us; freed from
the painful bondage of the flesh, yet abides with us
in memory and love. The goad never die. She
leaves us the rich legacy of a life of good works,
and her spotless character will bu the earnest of
our endeavors to imitate aid attain. In contem?
plating such a gentle, self-sacrificing, mi tiering life,
Low sweetly do those words fall upon our ears from
the Apocalyptic vision: "I heard a voice from
heaven, saying unto me, Write from henceforth
blessed are the dead who die in the Lord: even so,
faith the Spirit, for they rest from their labors and
tlmir works do follow them." Aud iu the language
of that sublime .Burial Service which consigned
her to the earth, well may wc give hearty thanks
to Almighty God for the good example of our de?
parted friend, In common with "all those Thy ser?
vants, who, having finished their course iu faith,
now rest from their labors."
