IH'tWliof Miss McDonald.
Mr. and Mrs. Ed. McDonald have
the sympathy cf their many, very
many friend3 in Cabarrus in this,
their sad bereavement. From the
Charlotte Observer of Sunday we
condense the following:
"Miss Susie McDonald died at the
residenco of her parents, Mr. aud
Mrs- Edward McDonald, yesterday
morning at twelve minutes to eleven,
of consumption, after a years' course
of the disease. One year ago yester
day while visiting her aunt iu Brook
lyn, Miss McDonald was taken ill
with fever, and the hectic flush was
soon apparent. From that sick bed
she wa3 brought home, and for a
year everything that loving care,
kindly interest and sympathy could
do toward making the cros3 under
which this young life was stagger
ing, easier to bear was done. Noth.
icg wa3 left undone that could min
ister to her comfort, but nothing
could stay the ravages of disease,
and gradually her young life went
out. Through all the weary months
of Euffering and pain, not one mur
mur escaped her, not once did she
question the wisdom of the cruel
blow that blighted her young wo
manhood. Her patience, resigna
tion, ind perfect submission to the
yoke, were beautiful indeed in one
so young, and made her memory pre
cious to those who knew and loved
her.
She wa3 cheerful through all her
suffering, and in the last supreme
hour when the angel of death hover
ed near, she welcomel him with
smile on her lip3, and a radiance cf
countenance, the reflex of a pure,
unsullied spirit within. She had
no fear, but longed to be at rest.
Yesterday morning she called all
her family around her those who
had watched by her night and day
for so long, and to each she
gave a parting message.
Absent friends were not for
gotten, and for each she left a
message and good-bye. She was per
fectly conscious up to tne minute of
her death, and those who witnessed
her bright young life go out into the
realm beyond, said they neyer saw
so triumphant a Christian death.
"I shall know no suffering there,"
she said, pointing toward heaven.
As she drew her last fitful breaths,
two broken sentences could be dis
tinguished 'Safe in the arms of
Jesus,' and 'Nearer my God to Thee.'
Those were her last words.
Miss McDonald wa3 nearing her
20th birthday. She was the eldest
child of her parents, and early in
life displayed those traits of charac-.
trr which made her loveable as a
child aud woman. Hers was a char
acter of rare purity. She had liter
ally kept herself unspotted from the
world. The quiet dignity of her
womanhood challenged the admira
tion of all who knew her, and her
intense loyalty to principle and
friends was not the least of her
many noble qualities."

A I.aun Party at Bit. l'!oasa:it in

Far-off thunder disturbed the
stillness of night, a brisk wind ruf
fled the leaves of the bowing elms,
dim glows of lightning played
across the northern sky, "o'erarclnng
shades" of a distant cloud made
darker still the moonless night; but
promised joys allured us on, in the
buoyancy and carelessness of youth
never thinking of the impending
storm, when as the clocks were tell

young piople gathered in the lovely
grove on the Heilig estate, to revel
in the joys of youth and friendship.
'Twasa gay party all seemed to
wear their sweetest sirile3 and to
divulge their pleasantest wit; the
curtain of reserve was thrown aside
and all abandoned themselves to the
sumptuous pleasures of the hour.

rolled on, now bursting into revelry,
now chatting promiscuously, and
agoin scattered here and there in
shaded nooks we writhed and
groaned 'neath Cupid's magic spell.
Merrily and rapidly the moments
passed, 'till at last, wafted on the
midnight breezes, from sweeter lips
came the unpleasant cry, "Good-
morning," "It is Sunday," are you
going to Sundiy school ?" Slowly
and reluctantly we dispersed, and
with happy hearts, soon were "home
ward bound."
And as we looked backward at
the fading light3, we thought of
how sweet had been the pleasures
of the evening, but how they, too,
were fast fading into darkness.
But our pleasures are not altogether
like those lights. They glowed and
faded aud left the world a3 dark as
aye; our pleasures flourished and
waved , out deep in our hearts are
stored rememberances which years
cannot harm. Lon will we cher
ish fond memories of the evening
All in all e think it the pleasant
est entertainment of the season. But
oh ! we're at the gate. A sweet
"good-night, love" and all is ended.
