'Elie result is due in no small measure to the

The wires now stretch over the ancient Cap

Some shorter path might have been chesei
bat the telegraph is a humanizing agent, mor

I OBITUARY.
Died, in this city. ?n the evening of the 12tl?
April. MARY MORRISON, eldest daughter of
Ja*. R. and M. A. Kennedy, aged thirteen years
! ami four months.
Death is at all times a sad messengor, and we
ever bow in silence and sadness at Us approach;
but there are seasons when it comes .with a pc
jculiarand crushing weight of sorrow. 'So it
I was in the death of this dear child. The family
I driven out homeless, deprived of every comfort,
j aad all the tender associations which the houri
[loves to dwell upon rudely surrendered, have
j now been called to give uy the brightest orna
ment of their circle. In the midst of their
desolation, the Reaper came and gathered the
fairest flower iu the wreath. Mamie waa a
child of bright promise,, aul many fond hopea
are buried in her grave. As the eldest of a
I large family, many duties devolved upon her,
I all of which were faithfully audeheerfully per?
formed. At school, she won the approbation
and love of her teacher by her diligence and
uniform good conduct, and her kind and ohlig
I iog disposition, made her a favorite tfith all hor
I companions. For ten weeks she wa* confined
i to a sick bed, but she bore her sufferings with
great patience, and wa fondly hope that she is
I now at rest in her Saviour's bosom. Though
her earthly home Waa made desolate, We trust
that she is now iu her Father's home above-a
home in .whose .aiansieas gaief has ne share.
I We aro living in timea'of fiery ^'trial, the futur*
is shrouded in gloom, and uncertainty, and wc
'are daily taught the vanity of all earthly
I treasures, Nothing is~tr?ly oura hilt our dead,
I and we rejoice that thej are free from th?
trials which we are called to endure. Manj
fond heart? w*ep over Mamie's early grove
but let them bow submissively, aad let the lau
guage of each heart be:
"It is the Lord, enthroned in light,
Whose claims are all divine;
Who has an undisputed right
To govern me and minc.
Thou hast escaped a thorny scene,
A wilderness of wee,
Where many a blast of anguish keeu
Had taught thy tetra to ri JW.
Porchance some wild amt withering grief
tlad sered thy summer's earliest leaf,
la these dark bowers below,
Or sickening thrills of hope deferred
To strife thy gentlest thoughts liad stirred.
Thou hast escaped life'ti fitful sea
Before the storm arc.se,
Whil?t yet its gliding waves were free
From aught that marred repose;
?iafe from the thousand throes uf pair,
?ire sin or sorrow breathed a stain
Upon thine opening rose,
And who can calmly think of this,
Sov envy theo th)' doom of blies.
I culled from hon", e's beloved bowers
To d?ck thy last long sleep.
The brightesl-hued, most fragrant flowers
That summer's dew's may steep
The rose bud emblem meet was there,
The violet blue and jasmine fair,
That, drooping, seemed to weep .
And now 1 add this lovelier, spell,
Swiets to the passing sweeS, farewell.

tn tbi primo of life, rcc;ia?* these who kita
ind loved k\ji of thc uncertain eb araste;
rnan'e probation hara. Seme twa years ago, 1
eontr??;?d ah aching oeagb, whiob termigati
in palmtaary consumption. Daring his protract
.d sickness, at one time promising to ?ludo th?
grasp of the fatal 'destroyer, and again relaps?
ing into a state of physical daaline, he bore his
sufferings with calmness and fortitude. While?
prostrated on biabad by disease, his thought*
were directed to the' importance of seeking,
through Christ, the forgiveness of ?in and
the consolations of a Christian's hope, and an?
swered with spiritual blessings were his ear?
liest appeals to a throne of ?raee. As days
and months passed, he became conscious that
bia stay on earth was limited. Yet. willing to
leare no remedy untried that might tend to the
restoration of health, he yielded to the solici?
tation of friends and relatives living at n di? ?
tance, and left the home ef his childhood OB sr.
visit to Oglethorpe, Georgia. The hope wa*
entertained by all that the ?hange of climate
and locality might stay \he progress of the dis?
ease and rescue him ft nm an carly grave. As
snmnitfi- casie on with its balmy breezes, he im*
proved ao mueh that il.(?ie ?ras a fair prospect
of his partial restoration lo health; but, when
winter act in, his .friends'beheld with sorrow
i that the Jijase had taken tinner hold on his
! eoHstitution. His prostrated frame now made
it impossible for lura to return, with thc ensu?
ing spring, to th* home which he still hoped to?
bo able lo see once more. . {n the providence cf
God, at an unexpected hour, a&d far away front
homo and parents, ha breathed his last, and fell
' asleep in Jesus. While this bercavoment, at aa
I unexpected time, saddens the hearts of the
' family circle at home, it must comibrt them to
1 know that all that leve and affection could sag
1 gest wa? done to alleviate his suffering and to
\ make his departure from earth as calm ead
peaceful as if a mother's hand' had cooled hi?
1 aching head, and a .father's arm had supported
I bin in the struggles of the dying hour.
