of old Fort liearbotn. l'oe .teculi:ritie and
weaSccme of trie man ot Chicago are qaite
appurect. lie loves to inform thu atrauser
that Chicago is the fc-reatentcity on tun cocti
lient: that it h.n the iarpnt I u-ire:H house,
the fii-est Hri't lM and avenues, the bit'(jet
butt's Hud the liiK-k-t rft tiado of any cily ia
the land. All this be utters with im aircl
incocent plcuurc, and mrprned ani
somewhat indignant if tho fooluih nUanger
uoes not j jia w.lh him in his laudaii ins over
the overgrown vi. iae ot his soul, i he man
of Chieatfo u R tr.au cf busictfH; be walks
and talks last ; be necu att s in Kra:n or pork,
aud has real tstat': mort.raz'M on toe brain.
If be own a corner or otiser
lot bis ambition is to tret it mort
cat.ed for about two-thuds of its
inflated value and then abandon it
to tuoiUac r. CuicvQ in plastered uil over
with Euch iiior!ifai' , and cuitl th tity lie
Bet upon red it would look like a b; 1-pos'er's
wooden wall illustrated wi h woodcuts of the
latest show. The true Chicnj-oan is formally
and coldly polite to stran(er; be ha none
of the warm (rush of tha giutherner; he is a
man of ddferent nu-tal and mold. He has
care and speculation etamrd on h.s brow
and he seldom laughs. When a rutuber of
Cbicaeoani meet in a hotel rotunda, cr at a
palatial bar, conversation is earn il on in un-
dertoneB, and the drinking is ucno Bilently.
There is no touching or clinkin,"of tfa???,
no old or new toast i piver. it is all per
formed in business style, and the men sepa
rate Lurried y, as ii' in scaii-h of some new
bnnacza or a telegram fiom the si'ver mines
of the tar we-d. The Cnioago people have of
late jjone craay over th" Nevada silver mines,
and inininir tdnck, wildcat or genuine, is
freely specu'ab-d in. A member of the dry
giods firm ct Field, Loiter & Co., some tiuie
iiince, invested a few thou.-and dollars in a
Nevada silver mine, und now be ia reported
as bavins a solid silver incocie of twelve
thousand dobars a cnr,lh liom that mine,
which rival:! m rmhtes the fam-d isle of
Jfotite Critto. Every tongue wojfs over tbe
luck cf ihedry uoods man, and every brain
is at wotk c'evihiDir some scht-me by which a
pilvtr mine can be brought into possession.
If you dircredit the silver minint; stories, tha
Cbicagoan v.-arma up a little, his biiGine-s
eye b comes dilated and be overwhelms you
with fuels and figures about mines and min
im; stocks, and bow this or that man made a
few thousands by speculating therein. Your
correspondent rode through and around the
city on the Mred-car lines lor tho double
purpose of irettinjf t'ue hanif of the town and
tindinr cut the social pet uiiaulit s of its
denizens. In the Etreet-cars you caaa
see Chicam human nature in chunks.
It is there relaxed a little and
presents a mere pleasing appearance
than it does in litotes, hotels or on the streets,
liven in the cars the man of Chicago talks of
businefiH, but in a pleasing tone of voice as if
he liked to dwell upon tbe the in 9 even in his
leisure moments: "1 bought a email farm,"
said one of them, "and paid ten thousand
dollars for it. 1 go down there once a
month. It makes a man feel good to be able
to walk over bis own land. U makes you
feel like a prince." "Well," replied his
friend, "I do not like farms, I like horses, I
paid five thousand dollars for a pair of trot
ters. It does a man rood to drive out along
the lake shore to Lincoln park. It beats
farming." The (Jhicagoan has. his hobby
like other men, but his hobby generally takes
either a speculative or practical form there
is nothing sentimental in it from top to bot
tcni. Your true (Jhicagoan is either above
cr below sentiment.
THK WOMAN OF CIIICAfiO.
Tbe geut'.er sex are of a more sturdy pat
tern than their sisters of the south. The lair
Chicagoan looks and moves like one of the
lake schooners when scudding before a brisk
breeze. Sne, tho lady, not the eehocner, is
tail and slim, dresses neatly and well, and
Hteps oil" rapidly like a professional pedestrian,
tho looks mm in the eyes firmly and
boldly, without displaying any riisagresable
boldness. When converting she bolda your
eye snl fjaz-s iuto yours iu a businest-liko
manner. II. r voice is rather sharp, an cctave
cr so too high to be musical rr pleasincr to
the car. It is a clear, cutting voice, that
wculd pierco a heavy Cuicago fog when it
rolls from Lake Michigan nnd envelops that
city like a pall. Your Chicago be'le talks a
b'tle Mang in quite a natural way, and utteis
her words with rapidity and precisecesa. She
impn s s you frith the idea that ;be is of a
literary turn of mind La-cause invariably,
when in the street, she carries! a book or two
in hr-r band or ucd-T her arm. It is cot
always the latest novel, but often f.jine work
on a scientific subj 'ct, obtained at the public
library. Your correspondent nev.r before
saw so many wnuen tarrjing book?. Tbe
la r Chic go woman hurries nlong the street
or over the crosricg in an independent ttyle.
She elbows through crowds like a mun, and
pefs along quite as well better, pcrbups.
Sue walks into the street-car:', but fails to
l.vik Lt tbe seated man with imploring glance,
as if a-kmg for or demanding a teat. She
takes a seat piomplly should one be vacjLt,
and t!'es not mind crowding you a 1. tile, if the
seat is of a compressed latceia. Should no
seat bo vacant, and should no untlo biped
get up to offer one, she prepares deliberately
lo btand un i;nd hold on to tbe strap. If you
arise and oil'- r nera seat, she curtly ttiacks yoa,
and with a rapid glance, takes your measure
from bead to foot, then pivs you to moie
attention until ycu leave the ca', when she
throws anotm r invettia-ctinff glance after
you, which t'nnco thoiouyhly takes you in,
from ycur back hair to your coat-tail. Her
features i:r-j generally sharply-cut, and pre
sent a ood profile. The front view is net bo
good.
Till: CITY BY THE LAKE.
ChicatfO is situated on the w-st shore of
lake Michigan, at the mouth of Chicago and
Calumet rivers, nnd it stands afew feet above
lh" peluct.l waters of th ch-irmin;? lake.
Jo'.iet ur.d Fa'tn r alarquette were among the
tfr-t white vn-iterf, who arrived in August,
107o, the fi st permanent settlcnunt ls?ing
niado in 1-04. during which year the United
Sa' s government erected Fcrt Dearborn.
In Is 10 Chicago cor.taiai d about a doz-n
hou-i s. and a mixej population of one hun
dred whites, half-breeds and blacks. It now
bus a population of nearly five hundred
thousii'.d at least your true Chicagoan
says so.
I be name "Chicago" has been interpreted
to mean "skunk" or "polecat," an animal
beautifu' t-j lo k at but dangerous to meddle
with. The first outsider who became a
resident of Chicago w?s an"gro named Jean
li'iptitlf I'ont an S.ible. LI settled there in
17 jo. II ? built a cabin and claimed a large
tract of bind surrounding his mansion. He
was jjined ly several Indian traders, and
Chicaga beiran to bud and blossom as if it
had a great future before it, and it had.
Tue first, transaction m Chicago real estate
was that of 17'oti by tho negro I'Ont au Sable,
who njaatted on the north bank of the river.
Since that time real csta!e transactions be
cam.1 more numerous and important. That
was the Cuicago of eighty years asro, but the
Chicago of to-Jay present a different ap
pearance. It has now a water fron'age of
twunty miles devoted to commerce. The city
is divided by the Chicago river into three
parta, railed the north, west and south
"sides," which are connected by thirty-three
bridge and tco tunnels. The streets and
avenues are wide, mii,,- of them ate several
miles in length. Many of the puUi. buildings.
private residences and business houses are
eiegiot and elaborate specimens of modern
architecture ot the most costly character. The
citizens claim that l'hica20 is the greatest lum
ber mart, grain and hog lu.nket ot the world.
A literary and witty Cbicag jan stated to your
correspondent that the coat-of-arma ot the
city ought to le "a btg hog ana a leiiow mai
l.wks liko oa, but no waji uw aeveru. em
cigo deserve a more classical coat of-arma
than that; it is a great and growing city, a
great product ot sturay American enierLti
and civilisation. The true Chicagoan claims
that bis city : the great-st railroad center in
the vnrld, und aUo tbe "graaary of the
world." The Chica;0on uses tho word

Lf.xixotox, Kv., November :'.J. Jackson,
the county stat of Breathitt county, distant
about ninety miles from JJount Sterling-, has
been tbo scene of a serious outbreak and
bloodshed durinr the past week. The place
has a bad reputation for lawle Enosa, and it
is not a great while since a detachment of
the State guard was required tn preserve
order. The present trouble results from a
collision between
TWO niVAL BANDS OK OUTLAWS,
one under Captain Hill Strong, of home
guard fame, aid tbe ct'uer uider Jack
Aikman. Tht Strong party took possession
of the town on Monday, committing many
acta of lawlessness and getting reckleas from
drirk. During the afternoon Hie Aikman
parly, twelve or fifeon strorg, rode Litto town
and made aa attack on tbe Strongs; thirty
or forty sbota w-re discharged, two taking
effect on William and Daniel Freeman, the
former being shot through the body and the
latter through the head. They were re
moved late in the eveniDg to their Jaomee,
several miles up the liver. Daniel Free
man is recovering, but William is dead
Strong and bis followers received no lriories.
but barricaded themselves in a little log
cabin, about one hundred yards from the
courthouse, where they had previously
stacked their arms. Aikman and his party
sought snelter in tee courthouse and
A KEGl'LAR INTERCHANGE OF SHOTS
was kept up durincr the whole of the after
noon. One of the FVeemaa's, who fell in the
middle ot the street when shot, was forced
to lie there for two hours, his friends fearing
to attempt his removal. During this strife
hideous yells and shouts ot defiance could be
heard from both parties. The next morning
(Tuesday) it was discovered that Aikman aaid
his party had withdrawn frora tha court
bouse anl quartered themselves near the?
river bautt, while btrong and Ins men held
their fort untaken. About ten o'clock Strong
retired, and soon thereafter straggling
drunken men, welt armed, began to parade
the streets in defiance of nil law and order.
It wasoon whispered that, the guard which
had been ssnt to Lexington, under charge of
the sheriff, to bring back Jason Little,
charged wrrn vviFK-itcr.DEn,
would soon-return and an oflbrt would be
made to release the prisoner. A willing
leader was found in a justice ot the peace,
named J. C. 13. Allen, supported by the Lit
tles, Crawfords and others, numbering
about forty, who loitered about the streets
impatiently waiting for the guard to appear.
Judge Randall, to defeat the aim of the mob,
had the deputy-sheriff and county judge to
detail an extra guard of fifteen men who
went under th leadershiD of the countv
judge, Jno. W.Burnett. About three o'clock
1 1. f l,a ofta.ntiin r V- i . wtlnmc vi'll. Ilia
uu nibciuwu vucj iciuiiicu niui cue
prisoner and safely confined him in jail.
The guard numbering about twenty-five well
armed men, no effort at a release was made,
but immediately after the guard returned
from the jail to the street and began to dis
perse, thinking the danger was over, Craw
ford and Little began
an attack on jcde bvknett,
threatening to take his life. The excitement
began to run high. Yell after yell rent the
air, and suddenly a volley was poured in on
the guard, who, taken by surprise, sought
shelter at every quarter. During the dis
charge of this volley Judge Burnett was shot
through the heart and instantly killed. Then
a constant fire was begun, and was kept up
during the whole evening, and diabolical
yells were kept up by the mob aa it gained
advantage. Allen and his men being in tbo
courthouse yard, sought shelter behind the
clerk's office and in the courtroom, whde (he
guard retreated up the street to tho point
where Strong and his men were barricaded.
Tbe forces now numbered some thirty or forty
on each side. The men were all well armed
with the latest improved Colt's navy repeat
ers, Spencer and Ballard r;tlat and, being
good shots, could kill a man from one to two
hundred yards, wherever he might appear.
During the picket shooting a posse of Allen's
men, with axes, attempted to burst open the
jail door and
BESCUE THE PRISONER.
At this point Tom Little, of Campion, a
brother of Jason Little, appeared upon the
scene of tbe conflict and made an effoit to
quell the riot, but was suddenly shot through
the body, which caused the jail-breakers to
desist. The Allen party deserted the court
house last night, and the sheriff and posse
took possession, thus commanding the door
to tbe jail. No court has been held in the
circuit court, as the judge suddenly disap
peared this morning before seven o'clock,
leaving no orders as to the disposition of the
prisoner, Little. A guard waa detailed to
dig the grave f or
THE INTERMENT OF JUDGE BURNETT,
and the spot selected was by the side of his
sweetheart, who died one year ago. Ladies
and citizens who came to town to-day to
attend the funeral, havo beaten a hasty re
treat. The latest news from Breathitt is a
special to the Lexington Press, dated Mount
Sterling, November oOtb, which states that
Jackson is slid in possession of the mob, but
that fbe champions cf the law are in posses
sion of the courthouse and jail. Picket
firing is kept up, and many citizens have
been killed and wounded. No action has
yet been taken by the governor.

mittees of Han JKranelsco
for the lieneflt of tbe
Stricken Clouta.
At the meeting held at the Greenlaw
OparaLouse oa Thursday, Major L. V.
Cooper, alter tome preliminary remarks ia
reference1 to tbe liberality displayed by (he
whole country during the erjede-nic, moved
that tbe chairman request J. P. Meux. who
had been spending the summer on the Pacific
coast, to present to the meeting reports of
the work done by tho committees of San
Francisco. In presenting these reports, Mr.
Meux said:
Fellow-Citizens of Memphis Oa leav
ing the Pacific slope a few weeks since I waB
furnished, by Mr. James C. Patrick, cha.r
man of the "Citizens yellow-fev.r relief
committee," of San Francisco, and Mr. Aa-cn
Stein, euperintecdantof Welis, Fargo & t.'o.
express and treasurer t.f the yellow-fever
relief committee cf that company, reports
showing the whole-souled charity and gener
ous offerings contributed to this and other
sections of the country iately so terribly
scourged by the epidemic. I hand you these
reports in obedience to requests tor such use
as you may deem proper to make of them in
showing to the citizens of Memphis and sur
rounding country that far off in the west men
Btopped in the busy rush of life and listened
to their cries of distress. A glance at these
reports will show that nearly ninety-two
thousand dollars had been raised by these
two committees up to the time they were
made out, which was about the middle of
October. Since that time their collections
have been increased to over one hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars. In addition to
what these reports show there were thou -sands
of dollars forwarded to tbescutli by in
dividuals, religious denominations, societies,
and municipalities, of which no mc-ntiou is
made, because it was not reported to nor sent
through either cf these committees. There
is no means therefore by which I can arrive
at an exact estimate of the asjiount of money
that was sent; but suffice it tj say, that be
tween one hundred thuusauu una iu
dred thousand dollars came as ;i-..i;
offering. The citizens ot Sin r rancisco ua u.

means most liberally, with pure, unselfish
motives, only desiring to know that what was
given went into proper chancels and was
properly distributed among the sick and
needy. I myself have never doubted the
correctness ot its application in the hands of
tre few brave men who remained here and
risked their lives for the good of others; es
pecially did J believe this when I knew that
those composing tbe different relief organi
zations were among the best citizens of tbe
place. Too much, fellow-citizens, cannot be
taid in praise of Mr. J. C. Patrick, formerly
of New York; C. C. Clay and B. E. Bannds.
formerly of this place; Mayor A. J. Bryant,
Ex-Governor F. F. Low, lion. Philip Uoacb,
editor of the San Francisco Examiner, Geo
F. Maynard, Everard F. Steele, D. A. Mac
donald. Rabbi Elcan Cobn and Rabbi A.
Bettelheim, J. O. Rountree, and Rev. Dr.
Piatt, pastor of Grace Episcopal church, cit
izens of San Francisco and members cf the
Citizens' yellow-fever relief committee, the
press of San Francisco, and the officers and
employes of Wells, Fargo fe Co.'s express,
and especially Mr. ictein, the eliicient euper
intendent. To these men tbe people of the
south owe a debt of gratitude that they can
never repay, for the untiring zeal and labor
exerted in their btha;f. And right here al
low me to say that the Jews of San Francisco
reiton.'ed most liberally. The two rabbis
nauied above should never, be forgotten; they
sent thousands of dollars of which no mention
is made in the reports, and they never wearied
in well doing. For the kind assistance
rendered by Mrs. Scott Siddons on several
occasions, and the part taken by Mrs. Adce
Gates, and Kobson and Crane, 10 theatrical
performances, in which several thousand dol
lars were raised, we should ever be grateful,
and hold them in kind remembrance for giv
ing their time and talent to the cause free of
charge. Even the prisoners in the peniten
tiary at St. Quintin, it will b.- seen, were not
nuruir.dful of the necessitifs cf tbe hour, but
in their own unfortuate condition listened to
the cries of distress and gave of their scanty
means. But above ail W should feel exceed
ingly trrateful to the echool children cf
San Franciscj. Tht-y bi ought from five
cents up, and ks uiAh as thty
could g?t, with plad heart?, to swe 1
the sum. The aggregate amount of
their contributions thin raised was over
six thousand dollars. One little boy, I know,
who formerly lived in Memphis, ss did no
doubt many others, broke coca hid bank in
which he had been saving his little accumu
lations since he was a laby and gave all he
had to "sweet charity's cause." Can heaven
fail to smile on such gifts? 1 was sorry to
see, a short time siuce, that the San Fiancia
co Chronicle had published certain state
ments concerning the management ot tae
Howard association of this city which might
have a tendency to make the people cf that
coast believe that tl eir chanties Lai been
misapplied. It is not for me to deny charges
nor repel slanders against others; but I will
say, for the benefit of those who may credit
these reports, that, knowing the men as I
do, who had the money under their Control
and for distribution, 1 would be willing to
tru?t them with as many millions of dollars
as they had thousands, confidently believing
that every doilar would bo properly applied,
so far as it was possible for them to do so.
That designing persons have fraudulently
obtained both money and provisions under
the peculiar circumstances and general gloom
which surrounded the city at that time,
cannot be doubted; but such was not
done with the knowledge or approval
of the different organized relief societies
in this city or the territory they visited. The
world stood in awe, and witn bated breath
listened to the tales of woe which were re
lated so sadly of our fair sunny Bouth. From
beyoni the seas the tide of sympathy bore its
fruits ot charity to distant homes where an
gels cf mercy blessed God that men were
still of one kindred and brotherhood. These
things will be sweet to remember in after
years, when the dreadful recollections of this
epidemic shall be told to generations yet un
born. In the remotest part of the civilized
world it is known that there are brave and
good men and women here in the city of
Memphis, with as good society pa can be
found anywhere under the sun. Ic is also
well known abroad that Memphis is a city
of such local position and commercial im
portance as to induce immigration, whenever
it is believed to be free from the recurrence
of epidemics. The means for the prevention
of this lie partly in your own hands; then let
each citizen do bis duty, and tbe tiino may
yet come when she will, Pheeaix like, rise
from the ashes of the dreadful past, to es
sume new life, vigor and strength, and be
placed among the large cities of the Union
which are yet to grow and flourish in this
rich Mississippi valley.

OBITUARY.
From the Alexandria i Va.) Gazette, November 25th.
CORSON The Memphis papers of August 27th
announced the death lu that cltv, of yellow-feer, ot
Mr. Enwiw J. Cohson, who viaswe'l and favorably
known in Alexandria. The sad announcement was
briefly as follow: "E. J. Corson, for years prescrip
tion cierk at Mansfield's drug store, died yesterday.
Mr. Corfon steod manfully to his post, fulfilling bis
duties wlt'j prompt fidelity." Serving his time in
the apothecary establishment ot Dr. Leadbsa er, of
thts city, and a.ways polite, faithful and reliable.
Ned Orson, us a boy. was beloved by all for the ex
cellent traits of bis character and the sound Idasof
his head. It was characteristic of him never to de
ser." a post wheie it was his duty to remain. Bearing
with him the confidence and esteem of his employer
and the best wishes of hosts ot friends, Mr. Corson,
on arriving at manhood, at tbe outbreak of the war,
removed to Richmond, where be served the Con
federate government with conspicuous fidelity and
etlicieiicy In the medical department of the army.
And to (ft y there Is many a survivor of the grand old
army of Northern Virginia whose eyes will moisten
with ti.e tenderness of heartfelt grief as he reads the
death of this estimable man aud recalls bis many
acts of kindness and humanity.
"Within the prison dead-house, where
Few mourners come to weep."
When the war was over Mr. Corson settled In Mem
phis, associating himself with Dr Manslield, and
retaining to the last a blub plae In the esteem and
regaidol the leading Imslue-s men ot the city. He
was a member and ollis-tr of DeSoto Lodge. No.
2!H1. F. and A. Masons, of Memphis, and also en
joyed iliedlsllnC'.ou f wearing the badge of aRoyal
Arch Mason. But It was in domestic life nialuly
that the nianv noble attributes of the deceased was
displayed. He was an allecllonate husband, a duti
ful son, a staunch friend, and the circumstances cf
bis sad death attest that he possessed all those ele
vated pentinients of personal courage and honor
which make the true gentleman and render I1I111 tin
object of admiration wneri-ver he goes. Seloom, In
deed, diien the narrative of personal heroism and
noli'.e sell-sacrifice cballenee more admiration thin
the death of this youug Virginian. It touches the
tenderett chords of sadness an.i regret. It moves
the beholder 10 a reQsctiv melancholy, which finds
Its only relief In teals. He was a brave mau. and
his death, cITered and accepted as a sacrifice to tbe
hundreds of suffering and dying friemtg and ac
uualntiuces arounu hirn, and falling at last, like
a true soldier, on the post of his duty "whence ail
but bs fad fled" was a brave man's act. His death
was a fitting termination of a lite so blameless a
life unsullied by an Impure thought or a base action.
The soldier's fame Is chionlcled In the psges of his
tory, heralded In song, and perpetuated Dy monu
ments oT marble and brass; the sculptor lives In the
bronze and niaible chiseled by his own aitlstlc
hand, and the poet survives In his "ornaments of
rhyme;" but what architect of fate shall fittingly re
cord tlie heroism of those whose lives are given to
the humblest cit;!mes who call for help? It may
not be here, where record perish and everything
passes away; but He who has promise. I a reward to
every one who gives to those In need, "even a glass
of cold water," will 1 ot foiget those Spartan souls.
Their monuments are made or masonry not erected
by human h?uds. B I while the tears of his aced
and beloved mother fresh from the depths of ber
"most divine despair" are falling with the soft ten
dei neas of the morning dews over the newly-made
grave of uei dafhng boy, and while
"Like the waters flow
Under December's snow.
Comes tbe dull voice of woe
Froai the heart's chamber"
of Ms once happy and ever noble wife, I cannot,
as a friend, retrain from offering this passing tri
bute of respect, to reassure them that the one they
loved so well and regret so bitter.y, "died not alone."
For o'er bis grave the autumn winds
Their mournful dirges mourn.
And 'ailing leaves around bis honored tomb
Murmur sokly, "he dl-d not alone."

"They were lowly and pleasant In their lives, and
In death they were not divided." How freshly true
the quaint old lines came up as we read. In those
early anguished days of our mournful September,
tbe brief, sad record above. Lovely Indeed they
were, with every grace of accomplished womanhood ,
pleasant Indeed In every relation of live; ivollshed
corners ot God's temple; mourned and missed by
loved and loving pupils, by co-woikers who knew
their worth, by friends who named them but to
praise that side of their Uvea which belonged to the
public; their devotion to education, to the church, to
the poor, seems to us short-slgbtell creatures
marred and Incomplete, but God's ways are not as
our ways. In family life, while many daughters
have done virtuously, these excelled. j Little
more than a year ago the aged mother was soothed
to her lung rest by their tender ministrations, while
through many weary months they supported grave
ward the tottering, palsied steps ot an Idolized
father bending under the weigh, of years. When
the pestilence took bim, it wo'ild seem that these
two devoted ones could say full well the "Xunc
DimHtis." They did depart In peace-ln eace wltn
the world wherein they had fa'tbfully served their
generation; in peace with God, who loved and called
them borne. "This truth comes boine oa bier and
pall." They are at rest F"or them this sleep of
death Is but a sleep; the morrow for them Is Indeed
a name
"For hope all realized, for woik all done,
Kor p.ln all past, for life and strength renewed,
For fruitage of endeuvor, for repose,
For heaven!" J. M. H.
PF.LEGKIN Ewn.E and Ros We often miss
those gentle faces, but not half so much as tho e
that are dearer to them. It Is sad to rei-ord the
death of those we loved so well; ami yet such !s life
In the hands of our Father, who doeth all things
well. They have gone to heaven beiore us. bat they
turn ana wave their hands, pointing to the glories
o'er us, In that happy spirit land. A F'ltlEND.

Fmello, tbou wilt never grow old.
Nor weary, nor sad in the home of thy birth;
My beautiful lily, thy leaves will unfold,
la a cliuia that is purer and brighter than earth.
O. uoly and fair, I rejoice th m art there.
In that kingdom ot light with Its cities of gold.
Where the air thrills w.tn angel hosannas, and
where
Tbou wilt never grow old, Emllle, never grow old
Let us luve faith, dear Jenni , in Htm who doetu
all tilings well, and in sewrti g fioui your family
circle one link, r member, to your hoy il Is everlast
ing hapuiness around the shining totone, where be
has met his little sister, Oimiklia, and together they
are uniting their prayers for your wellare herb below.
I am confident that no word' of mine will relieve
tbe heavy gnawing pain which presses the beat is of
father aud mother. But, bs assured, if I bad tbe
power to pour balm Into your deep wounds, I surely
would hasten to fulfill the task. All I can do Is to
pray for you, dear cousin George and Jennie, that
our wise and all loving Father wtll show you His
wisdom In so chastening you. Poor little brother
has been left lonesome and alone In his play and
rambles, and doubtless misses his angel playmate.
I fear I will open afresh tbe great sorrow of last
Tuesday morning.
Pray for us, sweet boy, we are laden with care.
Dark are our garments with mildew and mold,
Thou, my bright angel, art sinless and fair
And wilt never grow old, Emllle .never grow old.
Tell me. cans t thou hear from thy home lu the

All tbe fond words I'm whispering to thee?
Dost thou look down on us with thy soft ees.
Which greeted ns oft ere thy spirit was free?
COUSIN TENIK I.. U. H,
GRAHAM In memory of Blanche graham,
daughter of the late Burnett Graham, Esq., and
Mrs. Sallle C. Graham, of Memphis, who died on
Lookout Mountain, September 24, 1878. In htr
18th year.
" We are so consttroted," says the gifted Roberts,
"that nothing appeals to us with such agonized
pathos as death in ymith." It Imbues us with such
M .u , t. m 1 IMT -e l i.oompt .,cM . cuO. o ..VII Tut
sense of un plucked happiness; such a woeful regret
of so tn'inu sweet possibilities cahkered in tbe bud.
To the righteous soul grown gray tn the harness of
worldly toil, death comes as a not unwelcome guest;
It Is the appropriate complement of life Itself the
only medium of translation through which Is ills
closed the storehouse of rewards In Heaven. But
upon life In Us early and cloudless dawn, with the
future expanding to Its vie In vistas of Innocent
happiness, death obtrudes as a dreadful anomaly.
We no longer look upon It as the Gospel which
speaks glad tidings to the ear of age, but only as
the messenger of unmixed and dreadful vxie.'
Never has tins despairing truth been more r rclbly
Illustrated than In tbe death of sweet Blanche
Graham. At once a child and woman, poised mid
way between two phases of existence, with balf a
mind turned lingerlngly on tbe glrihood fading
away, the other directed mlgivlDgly to tbe untried
womanhood dawning before ber, she stood, still re
plete wltb the shrinking graces which adorn the
life she was leaving, and already mantling with the
maturer charms which glorify the lite she was be
ginning ta tread. Surmuaed abruptly from the
sphere she was so fitted to adorn, the "Book ot
Lite" Is shut with a xhurp clini at the end of the
Initial chat ter.and Its balance remains forerer but a
heap of white, unwritten pages! No story ot maiden
love to lighten it up with Its bashful radiance. No
tender picture of wifehood No domestic Kdeu peo
pled with holy household toys. No nistory-aM cut
untimely on, an a the .tnlec biography shrunk Into
the narrow compass of a melancholy preface! It
seems but yesterday that we saw ber In the Hush and
beauty ot ber young life, her bright presence
shedding cheer and sunshine upon the little circle
ot her home. Duly those who l-,avi shared the joys
of that one happy houie tin. know bow much of
life and light has lied forever, and how much thick
darkness has settled upon It since tbe light of those
sweet eyes has been quenched, aud the lingering
tenddrness of that bird-like voice has been bushed
lu eternal silence! Dismal, grim, Eyuptum n'gh;
has tllltd the hearts of the loveti ov.e-i left uehlnd;
but thank God tor tl,o memory of her sinless life,
aud caliii, peaceful.' triumphant d"Uh.' Like the
" Sta, of Hope.'' It Illumes this Impenetrable dark
ness: like the "Kalubowof Prom tae," It stretches
atnwait these black clouds ot woe.
"Twere bard 10 die at any time, ror earthly loves
as tendrils soft
Wind round our hearts and make them captive fast;
And when It comes at last.
The time when by death's band they are torn apart,
It tears as well the heart"
When death lays his pallid banr! upon ine brow of
a little child. It lnstiotl.eiy turns to tiMther, and
even ;n extreme o tt age. When cares press heavily
upon the heart, when "error's cup" la filled to tbe
brim, nnd when the aching brow presses upon the
" pillow of death." the heart still years for mother;
mayhana the suows and rains of many winters have
beat upon her iirave, yet In memory she f ill lines,
and we long, ohl how 'luuUer'Mu, for "the touch of
ber vanished band, the sound of ber voice that Is
s(ii."',Hti complete, tnen. must be the victory ever
if; bow f.ru.l? must faith be anchored upon the
" liock of Ages," when a fluid like our
Blanche, who ba I rarely slept without mother's kiss,
can die as she did, without her soothing presence to
comfort and sustain her In this last great agony,
rather than dlstoib her slumbers upon a bed or
sickness! Yes, after having bid farexell to tbe two
brothers who were alone wltb ber, and sent sweet
messugfs of love to tee absent one lu t'-.e "Old
Noita State," and her only st.-rer, t,iiose lliile babe
she regretted having never seen, and adding, "but I
will see them up there:" she replied, on belm?
aikeil If 8U wanted to say anything lo ' Mamma.
"Don't dUiiirb bar; ihe knows I love ber!" Only a
lew words; out ah, now repleta with meaning, filial
Ucd-rness, sell-lmmolallon, and divine grac-! AI
