Among those islands known a? the West Indies, about which more curiosity has been exhibited 1 by Americans during the past twc ] vears than at any other period 1 there is perhaps none more inter * esting than the littlo island ol | Puerto Rico, which is now ono o! [ the possessions of the United f States. This island lie9 within ^ the torrid zone, between latitude * 17 degrees 54 minutes and 18 de j grees and 30 minutes, but .as it if 2 far out to the eastward away from ^ the warm waters of the groat liul] L steam, and its small surface if h swept by the trado winds from \ end to end, even in the beat ol | summer, the temperature netfei rises above 05 degrees Fahrenheit on the seacoast, and the nights *, are usually cool. In winter the * limit of the mercury is about 8G ^ degrees on the coast and ten de ? grees less on the mountains, drop] ping lowest in January.

The deep, v fast-flowing rivers of Puerto Kico are remarkably numerous, and ? . much of the salubriousness of the P [ climate is ascribed to these and js thus to the innumerable smaller c t streams which vivify the air and J > land alike. Yellow fever has never ? V taken the form of an epidemic in Puerto Rico, and while malarial ^ t'nnniw -? ? . ididio are uuiuniun, as in most ii tropical climates, it lias on the c I whole the most healthful climate si ? of all the regions of the Western a , Hemisphere within the torrid ^ /one and as a place of habitation ? f is preferable to any of the is (, f lands of the West Inlios. Though a I not impressive in apprearance as ? i approached by sea. Puerto Rico 1 ' offers to the traveller, once on ^ I p the island, a rare panorama of p > artistic loveliness. Almost every j? i foot of land is rolling, except v f upon the coast and in some nar v ! row valleys, where the earth is 11 i flat as a floor, from tho banks of j rl tho rivers to the very foot of tho 0 *1 mountains, which rise abruptly n , to sharp, curvod crests a thou- o ; i sand feet above. All of the pic P II tore is clothed in living green the , I entire year round.

She hail ai tried many remedies and doctors but e; steadily grew worse until urged to try Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle wholly cured her, and she writes this marvelous medicine also cured Mr, Long of a severe attack of Pneumonia.

For a number of years he H t has been in feeble health and for the last two or three years j lie lias been confined to his y home and much of the time his ( room ; being deprived of the 1 privilege of "going up to tho a Mouse of God in company with j tnose that kept the solemn holy j >'uay. it was ins desire to i > i meet once more with his kin- h (Ired and friends to enjoy the r . friendly greetings and social J pleasures from which, in his rj seclusion he had boon cut oiF, and to unite with them once i: more in acts of solemn worship ; t to give praise and thanks unto | the Lord for his goodness and ]. to invoke the continuation of , ijhis loving care. According to t t previous arrangement, relations I and friends numbering 150 or more with his pastor, Rev. J. ^ M. White, assembled at his i * home to celebrate the day. His | four children two sons and two ,] daughters, fou?* grandchildren, \ t Ente TE8DAY, NOVEMBER ne niece and seven nephews rere present. Three nephews re re absent. Mr. Nelson is the only survivor t' a l'amily of ten children, four J rothers and tive sisters having receded bun to tho spirt ind. Religious exorcises wore onducted by his pastor, Rev. . M. White. The exercises were poued with singing the 2i>d 'salm, that Psalm which has heered up so many in the Pilrimage here below, and has been lieir comfort even when they amo clown to the dark valley and hadow of death. He preached short, but most appropriate, armon from the text, 4kIIow Old irt Thou ?''?Genesis 47, 8. Ilis oar relations, with some other rieuds, made up a 6mnil purse nd bought him a comfortable rm chair, which, at the close of he sermon, was presented by the astor in a very fitting and impressive manner, after which al ountiful table was spread in tie rove, laden with rich viands, ,'hero each and every one present fas abundantly supplied. Alio?t the entire crowd which ssetnbled there wore comparaivelv young, yet the best of rder prevailed. There was no lisbehavior on the part of any ne, and all seemed to bo im resse l with the idea that they j ad met to comfort and honor heir aged friend. It was a good i ay?a day loug to be retnem erod. and we trust, a clay of! rofit to all present on the ocoaion, and especially to our aged eighbor, friend and relative, for 'hose special benefit the day wish. at apart.
