IN LOVINO MEMORY OF""'v MRS IDA WICKER MURPHY! An only idolized child, a faithful loving wife, and a fond mother. For ono year she hos stood fuce to face with death knowing her malady was incurable, but uudhrneath her were the everlasting arms, "He giveth his beloved sleep." Smooth the braids of ber silken hair On hez queoniy brow with touderest caro; Gather ber robe io a final fold Around the form that will not grow old. Lay on her bosom pure as snow, Tho fairest, sweetest Howers that bloom; Kim her and leave her, our hearts delight, Io quiet peace, Ida sleeps to-night A shadowy gleam of lifo light liea Around tho lids of her slumberous eyes ; Tfer lipB are closnd ns in fond dolny Of tho loving words sho wished to Bay : Bat ber gontle heart forgot to beat, And from dninty hoad to dainty feet, She is strangely quiet, cold, nod wbito. Tho pain is gone, Ida routs tc night.. Put by her work and her ompty chair, Fold up the garments she used to wear, Lot down tho curtains and oloso the door. She will need the gairish light no more; For the task assigned her under tho sun IB finished now, and the gordian won. Tenderly kiss h?r and put out the light, And leave her alone, she will steep to night. Oh blesHed sloop! that will not break For tears, nor prayers, nor loves swoot Bake. Oh porfect rest! that knows no pain, No throb, no thrill of heart or brain. Oh lifo sublime! beyond our spoeoh That only tho pure through dying roaoh. God understands, his ways aro right Bid his beloved a long good bye. Weep for tho days that eau como no moro; For the eunboam flown from our homo and door; For the missing step and nameless grace Of tho tender voico and loving face. But not for the soul whoso goal ii won, Whose perfect joy is just begun; Not for the spirit onrobed in light And crowned with angola in heaven to. night. A DEVOTED FRIEND. An Enjoyable Occasion..

An exchange bas the following that is worth a thought and may be turned to profit: The seasons have turned backwards, some peo ple think, because October flowers aro blooming iu May, and cock leburrs aro matured. There are I some who regard these things as ominous, and one man told us that he feared it meant a long contin ued drought, that crops would be burnt up and great sn ile ri ti g would result. Another took an op posite view; he said fall Vegetation blooming in the springtime was an indication of a late fall, big top crop of cotton and double quantity of everything elso to those who worked.
