152 ill Mrs. S.\LLIE B. CAHILL, M.e wife of Z. T. Cahill, of Henry c*., Va., ^Jied of Liver disease, on the 20th of May, 1877. She was about 25 years of age and was well beloved by those who knew her. She leaves an af flicted Im.-ihand and friends to mum the lo.ss of one so dear. Uut she did not leave us to mourn-as those who have no hope. For she .said, if it was the Lord’s will for her to depart from the world, shewa.s willing to go. Thus death i.s rapidly doitig his fearful work—always bu.sy, day and night. Be ye also ready .; for ye know not the day nor the hour tvhen he will conie. Suffice it to say, it will be soon. DIED, In Halifax CO., H.C., July 10th, 1877, Infant soil of Mr. \Vm. K l\hite and vtife, a.gc, one year, si-x months and six days- Sad is the thought that we must part From those to us so dear, How overbearing fills the heart. To think the time so near. Knowing that he who rules above and below. Decreed a better way ; And tfwk him to himself, ere sin Could lead his steps astray- The sweet young child lias gone to rest. Mourners, withhold the tear. Light i.s the sod above his breast. .\ngels are hovering near. Clod’s ways are best and he is good. He’s Just and wise and true. Cea^»e your sorrows, trust in him. And* he will comfort voii. B. W. C. DIED,—In Martin county, N. C., June 5th, 1877, brother BENJAMIN MARTIN deacon of Gonoho Church. He was born Nov. 25, 1801 : wa.s married to Amy Price, Sept. 16,1824, and to F. W. Smithwick, Sept- 22, 18C4. He left two children by his first wife, but none by his second. The latter surviyesjiim. ^ Brother MARTIN became a member of the Primitive Baptist church about 1850, and,, far more than a quarter of a century, wa,s an earnest advocate of the truth, and a sTOnsistent exemplar of Baptist principles. He was not only a constant attendant at the meetings of his own and neighboring churches of the same faith, but he used his Best exertions to maintain a strict discipline in the house of God,—believing that disor derly members were far mote injurious than beneficial to the cause. He loved his brethren and their company, and delighted to have them visit him at his house, on which occasions, he, by the help of his excel lent companion, entertained them in the most hospitable manner, and took great pleasure in engaging with them in conversa tion upon the Scriptures. He died of the typhoid fever. His last illness was very pro tracted. The neighbors were very kind in ofi’ering their services to sit up with iiim.— Like the patriarcks, prophets, and apostles of old, as he had lived, so he died, in the faith, and, we cannot doubt, has ascended lo that better and heavenly country, that con tinuing city, which hath founditions, whose builder and maker is God. May we be enabled by grace to follow him a.s he followed his redeetoer, to be jealous for tlie honor of our God, to love his precious cause, His pure word, and Ilis dear people, and to glorify Him in life, death, and eter nity. SYLVESTER HASSELL. DIED, At Blount’s Creek,N. C., Januaray 3d, EDWARD ELTON, infant son of Sidnie V. and W. WARREN, aged 14 month.s. Yes, little EDDIE is dead! Alas.! how terribly the words echo ! How many eyes have overflowed with bitterest tears and hearts throbbed with keenest angtiisli, at their utterance! During five weeks he sviffered agonizingly, tlien the end came ; a shadow darkened the bo,by tace, a scarcely perceptible frown cross ed his brow, his pa rched lips contracted and an object inanimate remained, while the angel of death that had iiovered near, winged 1 triumphantly his serapliic spirit to realms beyotrd the sky. Too pure for earth, he was lent, for a brief period, to gladden the hearts Zion’s Landmark. of those who loved him most. Onr clime was not adapted to his nature. Winter’s blast and Summer’s heat were too severe for his delicate form, and, like a bud blasted by an untimely frost, he faded and died. Ah^ we call it death, but it i.s life eternal.—By mental sight we view our darling clothed with the spotless robe of righteousness wit h the infant angel band, walking the pearly streets of Paradise; and by mental .sound we hear the chorus that ascribes all to Jesus— and we breathe inwardly ‘‘ we weulct not have you back again,” but aspire to cross the dark and g! nny river, and anchor safely in blissful eternity with our loved ones gone be fore. “Not dead, but sleepeth.” Another fadeless flower removed from earth, and transplanted in the garden above to bloom forever; another gem places! in the diadem of glory to sparkle tlironghout eternity !— Gone ! so young, so pure ! how blessed 1 Cease, sad hearts, for your darling weening. His is a home beyond this .scene of woe— But prepare you for the day of happy meet ing- At the throne of Jesus, in meekness bow you low— His is a blLss passed human understanding ; His is a peace that mortals never know ; Hi.s slightest joy comes not by onr command- His is a happiiness not realized below. E. MATTIE WARREN. The Pigg river Association is appointed to meet with the church at Leatherwood, Henry county, Va., on Ifriday before the 4th teund>iy in August. South Lowell, N. C., July 4th, 1877.

To most of the readers cf the Landmaiik his style and manner are known, and to them he needs no commendation from me. The subject matter of the pamplet is drawn from the text of scrijiture, “ Tell me, O thou whom my soul lovelh, where thou feedest, where tliou makest thy flock to rest at noon : for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions. If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy Way forth by the footsteps oi the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds’ tents.”—Song of Solomon 1 : 7, 8. It treats of the doctrine, experience, duties and comforts of thechristian—happily blend ing these as *hey are found all along in the journey of the pilgrim. He addresses the Christians generally, and gives useful infor mation to all. I feel satisfied that the work is a valuable one, and will be so considered by lovers of trutli generally who may read it.
