If we succeed in getting them to give us their good will and kind words there is no telling what tho T. P. A.'s can do in this State.

In Memoriam, Miss Daisy Helle Robertson, a most amiable and estimable young lady, after a lingering illness of several months, died at her home at Cross Hill on the ( Veiling of the 28th ultimo. She was the lovable daughter of Mrs. Mary H. Robertson and the late Van B. Robertson. The visitation of tho Sable Monarch, Death, ever brings sadness, mourning nnd tears, but when it gathers within its cold embrace one who had scarcely more than reached the age of sweet, lender young womanhood, as in this In stance, then indeed such dispensation seems doubly sad and mournful. And thus one wdio pens this feeble tribute lei her memory feels it a personal grief and sadness he who had known and seen her from tender girlhood grow to womanly grace, beaut y and intelligence. Put she was called hence. The Great, Omnipotent, finger touched her and she sleeps the sleep of tin* just. As she languished with true Christian resignation upon her couch of sickness, slowly but surely dying, (of which she was (dearly conscious,) she spoke cheer fully of its approach and seemed to gladly welcome its coming. Why, then, should mother, sister, kindred or fro nds mourn f >r one wdio has only exchanged a lorrcstrlal for an eternal, celestial life beyond the stars? Daisy Robertson was a young lady of most ffcntlo, sweet disposition, combin ing all the virtues and womanly graces peculiar to her sex, and was loved and admired by all who knew her, leaving behind troops of friends to mourn her departure to the realms of everlasting rest and happiness.
