This sketch, from tho pen of Don Piatt, is equal to some of Mr. Dickens* finest I ran acmes what first struckmeas a very singular genius on my road from Springfield to Boston. This was a stout, black-whis kered man who sat immediately in front of me, and who indulged from time to time, in the most strange and unaccountable ma noeuvres. Every now and then he would get up and hurry away to tho narrow pas sage which leads to the door in these draw ing.room cars, and when he thought himself secure from observation, would fall to laugh ing in the most violent manner, and con tinue the healthful exercise until he was as rod in the face as a lobster. As we neared Boston these demonstrations increased in violence, save that the stranger no longer ran sway to laugh, but kept his seat and 'il (shackled to himself, with his chin deep down in his shirt-collar. But the changes that these portmanteaus underwent! He moved them here, there, everywhere; he put them behird him, in front of him, on ai/lA or him. He was evidently getting ready to leave, but, as we were yet twenty five miles from Boston, the idea of such early preparations was ridiculous. If we wi entered the city, then the mystery would have remained unsolved, but the stranger at hit became so excited that he could keep his secret no longer. Some one must help t -him, and as I was the nearest he selected me. Suddenly turning, as if I had asked a question, he said, rocking himself ,to and i fro in his chair the meantime, and slapping his legs, and breathing hard, Been gone throe years Ah!” Yes, been in Eu rope. Folks don’t expect me for six months yet, but I got through and started. I tcle rs. graphed them at the last station; they’ve i:- got it by this time.” As he said this he rubbed his hands and changed his port manteau on his left to the right, and the one on the right to the left again. Got a j wife said L “Yes, and three children,” he returned, and he got up and folded his overcoat anew, and hung it over the back of !i ii the t»at, You are pretty nervous over the v matter, ain’t yon I said, watching his fidgety mo\ entente. Well. I should think so,’•he replied I liain’t slept soundly for a week. And do you know,” he went on, glancing around at the passengers, and ■peaking in a low tone, “i am certain this train will run off the track and break my nank before I get to Boston. Well, the fact is, I have had too much good lnck for one men lately. The thing can’t last, tain’t nat ural «i*t it should, you know. I’ve watched it First ittrains, then it shines, then it fim again. It rains so hard you think its never goingtostop; then it shines so bright yon think it’s always going to shine; and just as you are settled in either belief, you aro knocked over by a change, to show you that you know nothing about it.” “Well, according to that philosophy,” said I, “you will continue to have sunshine because you are expecting a storm.” It’s curious,” he unturned, but the only thing which makes me think that I will get through safe, is be cause I think I won’t.” Well, that is cu rious,” said L “Yes,” he replied, “I’m a machinest—made a discovery—nobody be lieved in it; spent all my money trying to bring it out-—mortgaged my home—all went, f Everybody laughed at me—everybody but my wi.e—spunky little woman—said she would work her fingers off before I should give it up.

When I got my money, though, yon better believe I struck a bee-line for home. And now you will make her happy,” said 4 L Happy 1" he replied, why, you don’t know nnything about it. She worked like a dog while I have been gono, tryingtosup JpktUaig. port herself ana her children decently. They paid her thirteen cents spieoe for making coarse shirts; and that's the way she’d live half the time. She’ll como down there to the depot to meet me in a gingham dress, and a shawl a hundred years old, and she’ll think she’s dressed np. Oh, she won’t have no clothes after this—oh, no, I guess not f and with these words, which implied that bis wife’s wardrobe would soon rival Queen 4 m l it: n EH m Victoria’s, the stranger tore down the pas sage way again, and getting in his old oorner, whore ho thought himself ont of sight, went through the strangest pantomime, laughing, putting his mouth in the drollest ahapes,and then swinging himsalf back and forth in the limited space, as if he was walking down Broadway a full-rigged metropolitan belle. And so on till we rolled into the depot, and I plsced myself on the other car, opposite the stranger, who, with a portmanteau in hand" hid descended and was standing on the lowest step, ready to jump to the etform. I looked from his faoe to the e* of the people before us, but saw no signs of recognition. Suddenly he cried, '‘There they are,” and laughed outright, but in a hysterical sort of a way, as he loosed over the crowd. I followed his eyes and saw, some distance back, as if crowded ont ami shouldered away by the well-dressed and elbowing throng, a little woman in a faded dress and a well-worn hat, with a face almost painful in its intense but hopeful ex pressions, glancing rapidly from window to window as the coaches glided in. She had not yet seen the stranger; but a moment af ter she caught his eye, and in another in stant he had jumped to (he platform with his two portmanteaus; and making a hole in the crowd, pushing out here and there, and running one of his bundles plump into the well-developed stomach of a venerable old gentleman in spectacles, he rushed to ward the place where she was standing. I think I never saw a face assume so many different expressions in so abort a time as did that of the little woman while her hus band was on hia way to her/ She didn’t pvA pretty. On the oontraiw, aha looked very plain bat someway I felt a big lamp vtm in my throat as I watched Inr. Hhe was Irvine to laugh, but, Qod bless her, how ffjffiplstnly She failed in the attempt! Her mouth got into the position, bat it never mowed alter that, save to drawdown and quiver, while she blinked her eyes so that I sional glimpses of th‘eJ low who elbowed his way so rapidly toward her. And then, as ho drew near, and dropped those everlasting. portmanteaus, she just tusded completely round, with ;her back toward him, and covered her fcee with her hands. And thus she was when the strong man gathered her up in his arms as if she had been a baby, and held her sobbing to bis breast. There were enough gaping at them, heaven knows and I turned my eyes away a moment, and then I saw two boys in threadbare roundabouts standing near, wiping their eyes and noses on their little coat sleeves, and bursting out auqw at every fresh demonstration on the pari of the mother. When I looked at tho stranger again, ho had his hat drawn down over liis eyes; hut his wife was looking up at him, and it seemed as if the peut-up tears of those weary months of waiting were stream ing throngh her eyelids—The Capitol. Shoes for Women. BY DB. 1)10 LEWIS. Within three Mocks of my Boston rest dence there are eleven corn doctors. Some 1 of them employ a number of operators, and do an immense business. A large majority of adults, among the better classes, suffer from corns, or other maladies of the feet. Walking, the best of all exercises, would bo indefinitely increased if our feet were healtby. Prompted by sufferings in my own person, and by sympathy with tho sore-footed crip ples about mo, I have studied, this subject of the feet with much care and interest. Let me give you the result of my observa tion and thought: The sole is too narrow! It has long been suspected that a narrow soul was the great trouble in this world. I am sure all, or nearly all, eomes from a too narrow a sole. My friend Mrs. C., on reading tho chapter in “Our Girls” devoted to “Boots and Shoes,” came to say that although she was a great sufferer from corns and a genertd sore and crippled condition of feet, her shoes, were, nevertheless, enormous, twice autarge as her feet. She wished I would see if it was not so. I examined the shoes and agreed with her that they were too large. As she stepped, it was doubtless true, as alie said, that her foot rocked over first on this side-and then on that. Now it pressed over on the outside, rubbing down over the edge of the sole and touching the gronnd, and perhaps, if the ground was at all uneven, on tho very next step her boot would rock over on the other side of the sole. 'Such frictjpn between the little and tho big too joints against theupper leather mast inevitably pro duce corns. I think tho majority of shoes are too large. Mrs. O. wished me to accompany her to the shoemaker’s, and see what I could do for her relief, for really life was becoming a torture. We went to her own shoemaker. Cnrionsly enough, his name is Shoemaker. Mrs. C. hobbled to a seat and declared I won’t try to walk again, there Her shoe was removed, and Mr. Shoe maker marked around her foot, while site was standing upon it. Wo measured the mark and found that it was exactly four inches. That was the width of her foot, when she stepped on it, without a shoo. Then we measured the sole of tho shoo she had been wearing, and found it two and a half inches. Hero was the secret of tho whole trouble, ,:.Lr -J A pair of shoes were made for her at once, with the soles four inches broad. Now"she can walk forhonrswithoutapain in her feet. There are millions of poor sufferers in the country, who are limping and hobling throngh the world, who might be perfectly relieved and cured by the same means.. She Wouldn’t Marry a Mechanic. A young man commenced visiting a ytmng woman, and appeared to be well pleased. One evening be called wben it was quite late, which led the yonng lady to inqniro where he had been. “I had to work to-night.” “What, do yon work for a living?” she inquired in astonishment. Certainly,” replied the young man, I am a mechanic.” “I dislike the nnme of a mechanic," and •he turned up her pretty nose. That was the last tune the young man visited that young lady. He is now a wealthy man, and has one of the best women in the country for a wife. The lady who disliked the name of a me chanic is now the wife of a miserable fool— a regular vagrant about grog-shops—and the soft, verdant, silly, miserable girl is obliged to take in washing, in order to support her self and children. You dislike the name of a mechauic, eh You whose brothers are but well-dressed loafers. We pity any girl who is so verdant, so soft, as to think less of a young man for being a mechanic—one of God’s noblemen— a most dignified and honorable personage of heaven’s creatnres. Beware, young ladies, how yon treat young men who work for a living, for you may one day be a menial to one of them yourself. Far better to discharge the well-fed pau per, with all his rings, jewelry, brazeuncss and pomposity, and take to your affections the callous-handed, industrious mechanic. Thousands have bitterly repented their folly who have turned their backs to honesty. A few years have taught them a severe lesson. Adroitly Hit. A correspondent of the Herald and Pres byter writing from Minnesota, tells the fol lowing: I have picked up o little story which I think too good a reproof for distnbers of the peace in churches, to be lost. A pre siding elder of the United Brethren Church was preaching in this same neighborliood, and was much annoyed by persons talking and laughing. He paused, looked at. tho disturbers, and said, I am always afraid to reprove those who misbehave in church, In the early part of my ministry I made a great mistake. As I was preaching, a young yuan who sat just before me was constantly laugh ing, talking, and making uncouth grimaces. I paused and administered a severe relmke. After the close of service one of the official membors came and said to me, 1 Bro. you made a great mistake. That young man whom you reproved is an idiot.' Since then I have always been afraid to reprove those who misbehave in church lest i ribonld re peat that mistake, and reprove another During the rest of that service .at least there pa* good ordf. §$Q’t CVU Y ry Blander* of 1Ib«1KUI^(^. i If there is any defect more striking than another in American character, it ia bash fuhteua. Yenng America, in particular, is painfully affected by it. An incident is mentioned by a correspondent, who was do aired by bis aunt to go over to oeighlsir Shaw’s aad see if he had any straw for sale for filling beds. “Mr. Shaw,” said onr in formant, was blessed with a goodly nnni ber of Misses Shaw, and I therefore felt a little timid at encountering them. To make the matter worse, I arrived just as the fam ily were seated at dinner. Stopping at the doorway, hat in hand, I stammered out: Mr. Straw, can yon spare me enongli shaw to fill a couple of beds?* I “‘Well,’ replied the old gentleman, glancing around at his large family, and en joying my mistako, I don’t know but I can; how many will yon need?’ Before I could recover, those hateful girls burst into a chorns of laughter, raid 1 broke for home in a cold sweat.” Keep the Heart Auvk I—The longer I live, the more expedient I find it to endeavor more and more to extend my sympathies and affections. The natural tendency of advancing yearn is to narrow and contract these feelings. I do not mean that I wish to form a new and sworn friendship every day, to'increase my circle of intimates, these are very different affairs. But I find that it conduces to my mental health and happiness to find out all I can which is amiable and lovable in those I come in contact with, and to make the most of it. It may fall very short of what I was once ^ont to dream of; it may not supply the place of what I have known, felt and tasted, bnt it is better than nothing. It seems to keep the feeling and affections in exercise; it keeps the heart alive in its humanity and, till we shall be all spiritual, this is alike our duty and onr interest. Dahciko.—Dancing, as now conducted, is one of the most prominent sources of sinfnl pi cram re. This amusement is never useful, and generally baneful in its results. Itisnot conducive to health, with its late hours, its late suppers, or its transitions from heated baB-motw to the daifip and chilly air of winter night. The assertion that dapeing is necessary to secure ease and grace it aim ply qenwpse. Qraoe is native-born, and ease ondiMlf-posseesion are the result of ex perience. True politeness is the develop ment of a gentle heart and an unselfish soul, la there refinement or maidenly purification in the lascivious whirlings of the waltz The sclioofof good manners is the school of fine feeling. Gypsies anil Hie Artist. Till “Bohemians,” or, as we call them, Gypsies abound in Caucasus; yet on the third steppes they retain the same dis tinctive characteristics that they do in Eng land and on this continent. But they move in small bands. Baggage of every variety and description—beds and kettles und tents —with the swarthy heads of the women and children peering above the mass present a curious tableau. A cloud of dust usually marks the courso of the miserable proces sion, out of which arise discordant sounds, cries, and frightful oaths. Establishing themselves in the neighborhood of a large town, they ply their various vocations,— chief among which aro horse-trading, theft, and fortune telling. It is singular how this strange, wandering people should uot only arrogate to themselves the power to fore tell the future, but everywhere find such multitudes to believe them. Perhaps it is their isolated wild life and mysterious ap pearance that make them seem like beings connected with the supernatural, and give them such power over both men and wo men. A Russian traveler in his rambles throngh Caucasus, came upon a band of these, and made sketches of some of the most marked characters. lie found that a little money would secure a sitting, and he began bis work. But lie hail only completed a few faces beforo a rupture of a comical charac ter occurred. One day the whole baud crowded arouud him, loading him with re proaches and heaping all sorts of appropri ate epithets upon him. It turned out, that the hand of ouo of tho band, whose por trait he had sketched, had liecomo diseased, and they leaped at once to tho conclusion that some sort of poison had been inocula ted in the process of taking tho likeness, and they cried out as he appeared, You are a demon—yon bring disease among us.” They had no idea at first of the object of the artist in desiring a sitting, or in fact what bo was after—they thought ODly of the pay they were to receive. But when they saw the likeness of themselves produced 011 the paper, they were astonished, and looked npon it as n species of necromancy. Tho effect was ludicrous. Some, on seeing them selves ns it were in a mirror, laughed out right like children—others became suspi cions as if tho devil or some other malign influence had produced them in a manner wholly unaccountable, and they would steal silently away; and no bribe, not even the strongest to them, “drink money,” could tempt them book again. The beggars were the most docile subjects. Bnt who are these Bohemians or Gypsies, and where did they come from? Havana have in vain tried to answer this question. The simple aud only well-known fact is, that they are fonnd scattered over Enrope, Asia, and even America, and that their physiog nomy presents a type wholly exceptional to the races they wander among, and seems to point to a southern origin.

The Fiirrr of Thought.—Alexander Ham ilton once said to an intimate friend Men give me some credit for genius. All the ge nius I have lien just in this When I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day aud night it is before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My mind becomes per vaded with it. Then the effort which I make, the people are pleased to call tlte fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought. A ijotuhek undertook to explain to a village audience the word phenomenon. May Iks you don’t know whnt a phenome non is. Well, I'll tell you. You have seen a cow, no douht. Weil, a cow is not a phe nomenon. You have seen an apple-tree. Well, an apple-tree is not a phenomenon. Rat when you see the cow go up the trite tail foremost, to pick the apples, it is a phe nomenon.” Cjjilbrtn. A Few Dou'tn. If Xou are always threatening and never punishing, don’t be surprised if your child pays no regard to your threats. A friend of mine was teaching. A sweet little girl had an inveterate habit of whispering. She was gently reproved several times. At length my friend said to her, “I am vory sorry to punish you, but I must, that you may remember to stop annoying me. If yon whisper again I shall not permit yon to go out at recess, but sund yon out alone af terward.” Hhe whispered. At recess the teacher told her she must remain, and let the rest go out. Hhe sat a couple of min uter ,‘i Miss Hat Lie, please may I go out now?" No, my dear, not until the others come in.” She waited a minute or two, and, going up to her teacher, put up her lips: Please, may I kiss you, Mias Hattie?" Miss Hattie kissed her. Now, dear Miss llattic, jjeasc may I go out?”, “I am Very Horfyj darling, but I cannot let you go. Don’t you rememlier I told you you could uot go if yon whispered?” Yes, Miss llattic, but my mamma she sometimes—she. changes her mind.” If you specially pride yourself on any particular virtue, don’t flatter yourself that yon possess it, for beyond a preadventure it is the very one you most lack. Raid a lady to me, Miss was hero this morning wished Very much to tell me about the trouble between-and-, as she was in the family at the time, and thinks Mrs.-has given a wrong ver sion, but I refused to hear them, for I have no douht altout Mrs.-’s story. Isn’t Miss-trustworthy?” As far as I know, she is. Rut though I’ve ‘no religion to boast of,* I am very just, miuti more than many Christians, and I think it would l»o very unjust to Mrs to listen to the other side. I never nllow my judgment to lie warped by bearing both sides on any subject.” A Hnbbatli School Incident. At a meeting in JSxeter Hall, London, where there was a vast number of Sabbath school children assembled, a clergyman arose on the platform and told them of two bad littlo boys whom he had once known, and of a good little girl Whom he afterward learned to know. This little girl had been to Sabbath-school, where she had learned tp do some good every day." Seeing two boys quarreling, she went np to them, told them now wickedly they were acting, made them desist from quarreling, and in the end induced them to attend Sunday-school. These bovs were Jim and Tom. Now, children,’’ said tho gentleman, would yon like to see Jim?” All shontod with one voice, Yea, yes!” “Jim, get up,” said the gentleman, look ing over to another part of the stage. A reverend-looking missionary roso and lookod smilingly upon the children. Now, would yon like to see Tom?” “Yes, yes!” resounded through all the house. Well, look at me—I am Tom, and I too have Ibecn a missionary for many yean.

For months previous she had been extremely feeble, her condition exciting in the minds of her family and friends the gravest aj prehensions; still tire sad event was not looked for so soon. To her, however, her Muster's call was not a sur prise. For years before, she had felt that her bold u[>on life was relaxing, and she had lived dally and hourly with reference to the solemn issue. 1 doubt if any one ever dies better prepifred than she was. 81ie embraced religiou 31st July, 1857, and joiued the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and from that day to the hour of her death, her life was a beautiful illustration of her profes sion of faith. Indeed, she had but few equals in all the nobler qualities of mind and heart which constitute that highest of all human characters— a lovely Christian woman. Endowed try nature with the highest mental gifts, she so cultivated and improved them, that she became the pride of her friends and the charm of the social circle. She was especially distinguished for the maturity of her judgment and tire soundness of her diserw tion. Iler reading was select and varied, aud her mind a treasury rich in its stores of choice and useful learning. She had traveled much, and pos sessed in a rare degree all the reflnements and graces of the most cultivated and polished Socie ty. Such was tire meekness of her spirit, the gentleuefs of her disposition, the kindness of her heart, the force of her character and the power of her will, that she won without an effort all who came within tire sphere of her lnllneuce. It was the privilege of the writer to have known her long and well, to have seen her through her years of sickness and suffering when that most insidious of all diseases, consumption, was undermining her constitution aud robbing life of its vitality, and from the closest observation, lie is well as sured that no one ever bad a firmer and more abiding trust In God, or a livelier conception of Ilia acceptance of them Tlic promises of the Bible were especially to ber sources of consola tion and in their study she found never-failing de light.

Mrs. Silvia Youmo, whose maiden name was Tarver, was born in Burke, co., Gs., October 3d, 171)7, and, with licr parents, moved to Hancock county, where, on the 20lh of March, 1810, she was happily married to Rev. Enos Yonng, with whom she lived in peaceful union for moro than lifty-live years—having died suddenly in Dooly county, where she had lived for tweuty-five years. Bhe was converted in 1836, at home, on a Sab bath afternoou, while her husband was singing some of those sonl stirring hymns of the old Mtthodist Hymn Book. She at once joined the Methodist Church, and lived and died in its com munion. She was a woman of very calm and even temperament, yet many evidences' of a deep-felt piety, and of the abiding presence of the Spirit of God, were constantly visible in her life, and sbe' was ready always, to give an answer to any tbat might ask for a reason of Uie hope that was in her, wiyi meekness and fear.” Such was the ex cellency of the spirit she possessed, that her be reaved husband can now say, If Bhe ever had an eueiuy, I do uot know it.” Daring the last few years of her life, her bodily afflictions were such as to confine her very closely at home, and, which she greatly regretted, prevented her from attend ing Cliurclu Daring this time she had occasional attacks of convulsions, which were sometimes so severe as to greatly alarm her friends for her safe ty, hut Bhe did not complain or appear to be dis satisfied with ber condition; but was generally bright and cheerful. In conversation with one of her daughters, not long since, about tire change that she knew must shortly take place, she said that God had greatly blessed her, in answer to her oft repeated prayers, in permitting her to live to see all her children grown and provided Jor, and now she was willing and ready to go at any time the Lord might call her. ’Twas well, for the call came suddenly, on 33d of September last, she had a chill aliout eleven o'clock; the fever that fol lowed continued till near two; and as the fever subsided site was seized with a spasm, which, in three minutes, put an end to her long and virtuous life, at the advanced age of nearly sercuty-four years. The shock fell heavily upon the whole ('•immunity, more especially upou ber aged hus band and her cbildreu: but they monra uot as those who have no hope. U.

She was a kind neighbor, a faithful friend, a devoted wife, and a true Christian. During the last five months of her life sho suffered much, but never mnrmared. She seemed willing to suffer, but for a while un willing to die. This caused her friends much anx iety for a time, but she assured us that she was not afraid to meet Qod; bat dreaded the bitter hour of parting from those whom she loved. She was spared this parting pang, however, fur having suid her last prayer in the midst of suffering, she closed her eyes in sleep, and the Lord took her spirit quietly away to himself and to her only child—an infant which had preceded her a few days to the better country. Prayer waa— Her watchword at the gate of death, Sho entered heaven with prayer.” J. M. Louba v. __ Maggie Amelia Mai.lxttb, eldest daughter of Dr. J. A. and Mrs. M. J. Mallctte of Thomas co., Ga., died in Brooks co., Ua., at her uncle William McAllister’s residence on 13th October, 1871, in her 10th year. 8lie had gone to her uncle's ou a visit, to spend a week with her aunt, and was taken sick, and lived only four days. To loved ones,” it is deep sadness to monra her early departure; but to her, we believe, an inflolte joy to be spared the sorrows of earth, and to enter so toon upon the eternal life In heaven. Having had some doubts, While in health, of her entire worthiness to he a member of tha church, she had omitted to attach herself to it; but from the evidence left, we are satisfied she was prepared for the great charge. Without being questioned at that time, yr the subject being Introduced, ahe called laWP ancle Davis and sahl to him, "tell aunt Julia," (who waa then absent) good-bye for me. 1 am not going to live much longer, bnt am going home."

Y., and died of chronic dysentery in Enfautnj Ala., October 5tb, In the 61st year Of his age. 1 In early manliood he removed to Columbia, S. C., where he was principally engaged in the mer cantile business, in which capacity ho exhibited untiring energy and the strictest Integrity. These qualities of bis character never forsook him, bnt marked every action of his llife, even under the most trying circumstances. In early life, ho be came a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which connection he remained to the close of hia life; and, until his health became im paired, he mis an active teacher in her Sunday schools, and participated in all her plans of Chris tian benevolence. In his domestic relations, ho was called to mourn thelossof two amiable wives, the former of whom left him two sons and two daughters, and the latter, one daughter. In 1801, he married again and removed to Alabama. For several yearn his health had been feeble, and the nature of his disease was such as to produce great depression of spirits. Uis life was one of amia bility and the strictest integrity; and his death is lamented by all who knew him. He. was a kind and attentive husband—a mild and affectionate father—an agreeable and social relative and friend, and a consistent Christian. lie has left a bereaved widow, two sons and three daughters, and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his de parture bnt they weep not as though there were no hope; for he knew in whom he had believed, and was persuaded that lie was able to keep that which be had committed to Ilim against the great and final day. His mind was clear to the last, and he expressed his confidence in his Ucdecnicr. A. FitfKdn. Hiss Anna Jane, eighth dnughtey of Stephen and Susan Boswell, formerly of Pike co, Ala., was born August 29111, 18S0, aud died Septeniher 14Lh, 1871. Slio joined the Methodist Episcoml Church, South, in 1818, and front that time she lived a cou i sklent Chr-kUau life. Nature very lavishly be stowed upon her a lovely disposition, and the grace of Cod adorning and beautifying what was already amiable, presented in her u character which made her an ornament in seciety. She was an every-day Christiau lady, punctual in her da lles at home, prompt iu attending the Sunday school, ready at all times, when able, to visit and nurse the sick, constant in supporting the minis try, and tire institutions of the Church, especially her benevolent enterprises, and uniform in tilling her scat in the house of Cod on regular preaching days. In a word, she exhibited that “charity which never faileth,” “is not puffed up,” suffer etli long, and is kind.” Iler affliction was pro tracted, aud at times severe; but she endured it all with submissive Christian meekness. Only a short time before her dcAth, I conversed with her upon her spiritual condition. She deliberately told me that she had been prepared logo for years, aud was patiently awaiting the time when Cod should see lit to take her to rest. Thu Church has lust one of its brightest jewels—but thank Cod, heaven lias received an heir of salvation. While relatives aud friends weep hero, angels re joice above that she is safe. W. F. Norton, P. C. Mrs. Mai.inda Beai.i., daughter of Edward Woodham aud widow of James Beall, was born the 9th of October, 1795, and died in Monroe co., Ga., July 20th, 1871. She professed religiou and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in Green county, Geor gia, when fifteen or sixteen years of age. During her long life she was an acceptable member of the Church. For a number of years before she died, she had been the subject of such affliction as in capacitated her for domestic duties. During this licriud of her life she devoted herself to tire read ing of the Bible, Wesley’s and Morris’ Sermons and other good books. Her mind was well stored with religious knowledge, aud her spirit was en riched from the treasury of divine truth and grace. Being in a comatose state upon her dying bed, she talked but little of her prospects beyoud this life. A few minutes before she died, she remarked that, God had been good to her all her life, and that she felt that he was still good to her." She selected the following text to he used at her fu neral, which evinced her knowlcge of the plan of salvation and the intelligence of her faith Into thy hand I commit my spirit; thou hast redeemed me, O, Lord God of truth.” J. J. Singleton. Mrs. Smitfi Perry was bom in Hancock co., tin February 1800, aud died at the house of her daughter, Mrs. Georgia Ann Gardner, in Kuesell co., Ala September 27th, 18r«l. This excellent Christian lady was our neighbor aud friend for more than twenty years—esteemed, beloved. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church before our acquaintance. Her religion was more than formal profession; she knew God in the forgiveness of her sins, and in the joy of his salvation. Her declining health for several years prevented regular attendance upon the services of the sanctuary; but her faith la Christ was steadfast to the end. Through death she has exchanged the Church, family, aud fond associations of earth, for a home in heaven. She was a devoted mother, whoso blameless life was a daily commendation of the religion of Christ to, her household, and all those who bad -knowledge of her walk and conversation. She raised and educated a large family of children most of whom are members of tlie Church. All bless her memo ry. May they follow her as she followed Christ T. 11. Dawson. Mrs. Ehknam Parkuk, wife of Wm. W. Par ker and daughter of J. C. and Sarah Duck, was bom September 18th, 1850, was married aiith of December I860, died of billions fever September 15th, 1871. She joined the Methodist Episcopal Church in her 12th year, lived iu its; connection until her death. She leaves a husband, and a babe eight months old, uud many relatives and friends to monrn her early death; but their loss is her eternal gain. She left n bright testimony of her accep tance with Uod, giving directions how she wanted her babe early taught to love aud serve God. Her father asked her while dying, if she still loved Jesus, to which she replied, sho did, and with a smile on her face, she said Jesus was in the room, aud she saw heaven with all its beauty. Thus has passed away one in the beginning of life in hope of immortality. 8. R. Wravbh. Jons W. Kino departed this life August 17th, 1871, In bis 38th year. From childhood a follower of Jesus, be lived a consistent Christian, and Ills end was peace. A steward and class-leader in the Methodist Episco pal Church, 8011th, he was faithful in Ills work for the Church, and earnestly devoted to all her in terests. lie prefened Jesnaalcm above his chief joy, aud verily would he havo laid down liis life for her welfare. Tlmmonaville circuit has sus tained agreat loss. God took him unexpectedly to all, but he gave blessed assurance of acceptance with God on his bed of affliction, and had his lamp trimmed and brightly burning when the bridegroom came. G. H. Wunia. Mis. Amy A. Mathesy died on 13th July, 1871, in her 54th year. She was twenty-six years a member of the Meth odist Church. Thu testimony of her busbaqd is that, she was a good wife, a true friend—beloved by all who kucw her. She died of lingering con sumption. For s** months before her death sho expressed herself as being perfectly ready—resign edly abiding the Call from above, she said My suffering will soon bo over; I see heaven, and oh I it is the most beautiful placo I ever shw." She passed away without a struggle—like one going to sleep^_ C. Dunlap. Hklcn M. Joubuan, daughter of Thomas and Hannah K. P. F.avly, died in Tlmmonsvllle, S. 0., October 4th, 1871, in her 10th year.

The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness, bowels in gen eral are costive, sometimes alternating with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation. There is generally con siderable loss of memory, accompanied with a pain ful sensation of having left undone something which mght to have been done. A slight dry cough it sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he com plains of a prickly sensation of the skin; his spir its are low; and although satisfied that exercise would be beneficial to him, yet be can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have oc curred when few of them existed, yet examination of the body after death, has shown the Lietr to have been extensively deranged.
