A NOBLE GIFT.
Mr. nrjrrt Hood' Endowment for the
Woman's Collet at Frederick, nd.
The Directors of the Woman's Col
lege of this city met in special session
yesterday at the college for the pur
pose of effecting an incorporation un
der the laws of the state of Maryland,
and of taking steps toward securing
the endowment of $20,000 authorized
bv Potomac Svnod at its session last
fall. After thedetails of the ineorpora-
tion were attended 'to Mrs. Margaret
,Hood, accompanied by her attorney,
Mr. Jacab Rohrbach, Esq., appeared
before the board and announced her
intention of giving the entire amount
as a memorial to her late husband.
Invested securities to the extent of
$20,00) were thereupon assigned to the
-iJoaru oi Directors to oe Know as me i.
as tne
James Mifflin Hood Endowent Fund,
the Interest of which is to be used
perpetually in prosecuting the work of
the college.
To say that trie Directors were over
whelmed expresses it but midly. Mrs.
Hood's generous impulses and gifts in
the past were well-known to many of
them, yet no one present was prepared
for such a noble gift as that just' an
nounced. As soon as words were
found an appropriate motion was
passed accepting the gift and tender
ing the thanks of the Board to the
generous donor.
Various expression of appreciation
were made by all present and Mrs.
Hood on her part expressed her in-
terest and confidence in the college in
its present relations to the Reformed
church, and especially her love for it
as her Alma Mater, the Frederick
Female Seminary.
After consumating the transfer the
board adjourned to January 2Gth,
when its next meeting will be held.
The announcement of this gift by
Mrs. Hood will bring joy to every
citizen of Frederick who looks for and
loves the true advancement of the city
to all who feel any degree of interest
in the education of woman, and es
pecially to the many aluinnre, old
students and friends of the Frederick
Female Seminary.
Looking back to that early day when
Mrs. Hood was a student of the Semi
nary, proof is most conclusively drawn
of the abiding nature of the impression
made upon her heart and life; and
looking toward the future a new era is
opened in the work of the college and
in the general cause of woman's educa
tion. Mrs. Hood lias erected a per
petual memorial to her husband and
has at the same time given a noble gift
which shall be more enduring than
brass or marble. Frederick News

A Butcher's Experience.
Mr. J. W. Herring, a butcher of Phoe
nix City, Ala., says. May 14th, 1895
'For five years I had indigestion:
which continued to get worse till my,
suffering was intense. I spent hundreds
of dollars trying to get relief, but grew
worse until the fall of 1893, when I
commenced to use Kincr's Roval
Germetuer. I took onlv three bottfes.
but began to improve from the first
use of it. I bought it of Dr. D. E.
Morgan, and he can tell about my
case. I cheerfully recommend Germe
tuer as the best medicine for Indiges
tion and Dyspepsia.' New package,
large bottle," 108 doses, $1. For sale

We knew him for many years
During that whole time he was a bur-ded-bearer.
His own loads were
heavy, and he also carried the loads of
other people. Very few material sat
isfactions came into his life. To meet
imperative claims it was necessary for
him to struggle day and night, sum
mer and winter. Such a thing as a
vacation was not included in the circle
of his thoughts. He was even denied
the blessing of appreciation. Those
who reaped the fruit of his toil and
self-denial looked upon him as a sort
of commonplace drudge, and never
dreamed of thanking him. But in
spite of all these things he maintained
a cheerful spirit, aud carried about
with him a bright and happy face
At times a strange light burned in his
eyes, and. an almost heavenly radj
auce spread over his countenance.
The secret of it was that he had ac
cepted the situation, not doggedly and
Millenly, but cheerfully; and was con
tent, for Christ's sake, to spend and be
spent for others. Advocate.

Harp on the Willow.
From Corinthian.
V hen the Jews were captives in Ba
bvlon they hanged their harps uion
the willows and sat down by the
streams and wept, yea, they wept
when thev remembered Zion. They
were sad. Dear reader, how often
have you had the same experience.
You sat down and wept when you re-
.inpfiitprpl voiir former condition of
happiness and prosperity.
You think of the time when the
family circle was unbroken. How hap
py you were then. How pleasant
home was. "Home is not what it was
before mother died," says the weeping
heart broken daughter. "Then we
had some one to guide us and sympa
thize with us. We miss her so much.
Tfae sonKg &he uged to gin tne le890ns
she used to read bring to me sad mem-
pries and I sit down and weep when I
remember mother." Your harp is
hanged on the willows.
' Sitting with a gentleman and talk
ing he asked me to come into the par-
lor. He nointed to a nicture unon the I
wall - a picture of a bright eyed curly
headed little boy.
, , ,.ff, . tw. Mhri h
picture of our little boy that died. He
was such a bright boy. These are his
little shoes and stockings and these
his little toys and playthings. Home
is not like it was before he left us.
And then the strong man took his
handkerchief from his pocket and
wiped away the big tears which rolled
down his cheeks. Harps upon the
willows.
Talking with an aged gentleman
who is near the end of the journey of
life, the conversation turned upon the
condition of the South before the late
war. He had been intimate with the
wealthy and influential citizen of that
time, and he, himself a favored son
had enjoyed all the luxuries of our
ideal antebellum Southern home.
Those noble men whom he admired
ara now dead. Customs and manners
changed; new institutions have arisen
and the glory of the old fading away.
He standing upon the brink of the
grave and looking backward sad mem
ories rushed to his mind and as the
tears'stole down his cheeks he said,
"oh, that I could see those days once
more." His harp was hanging upon
the willows.
Seasons of spiritual depression in
our individual experience are times
when the harp is upon the willows.
The chrfstian journey is not always
along still waters and through green
pastures. He is not always on Ta
bor's heights nor enjoying Beulah's
rhapsodies. He is often in the low
plain of hard toil and trial and passing
through the valley of Achas, and ly
ing under the juniper tree of despon
dency. You remember the time when
the joy of the Lord flowed into your
soul so full and free that you sat down
and sang "I can read my titles clear to
mansion in thesky,' but just at that
moment when you defied the prophets
of Baal, you were overcomed by the
Jezebel of temptation and doubt.
Your life seems a failure, and the good
you thought you had done seems to
have come to naught. You sigh for
the "Happy hours I onced enjoyed.
How sweet their memory still." Your
harp was hanging upon the willows.
God tells in his word that we are to
have harps in heaven. "I heard the
voice of harpers
harping with their
harps; trad they sung as it were a new
song," Rev. 14: 2 3. Dear reader, these
harps will not be idle in heaven. Let
us therefore rejoice and be glad be
cause there are no harps upon the wil
lows in heaven.
Something to Know.
It may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, arid is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very
best blood purifier and nerve tonic.

Don't Qivo Up.
It takes a "rar man to bear up
under the difficulties and vicissitudes
of life. We mean a Christian man,
and all that that implies. Hence the
apostfc? says: "Quit ye like men." He
well knew what the battle of life meant.
2so man ever had a greater degree of
what the world calls trouble than he
had. He was shipwrecked, imprisoned
often, beaten with many stripes, stoned
and left for dead, and finally led out
from his Roman dungeon and execu
ted. And yet his voice ever had the
ring of a conqueror in it. In summing
up all of his troubles, he called them
but "light afflictions.' We think that
no one has ever gone through the
trouble that we have; afflictions in our
bodies and in ' our homes; harrassing
business cares that are so depressing.

At th hAttl of Marencro the French
iines fen back, completely routed, and
the officers said to the commander,
"The battle is lost." "Yes," exclaimed
the general, "the battle is lost, but
there is time to win another." In
spired by his faith and courage, the
officers hurried back, turned the head

the last gun was fired Marengo had

The Dr. Welker nonument.
Written for Corinthian.
To the pastors and members of the
Reformed church of the North Caro
lina Classis:
For some time we have had under
consideration plans for raising funds
to erect a monument at the grave of
the late Rev. Geo. W. Welker, D. D.,
who was pastor of the Guilford charge
of the N. C. Classis for more than fifty
years and who died on the 9th of July
1894. Dr. Welker was the leader of
the N. C. Classis for a number of
years. His body now lies in Mt. Hope
graveyard.
The annual meeting of the Classis
takes place at Mt. Hope on the 5th
day of May of this year. We have
thought that during the week of meet
ing of Classis will be the most suitable
time to unveil this contemplated
monument. At the request of Mrs. E.
J. Welker,relict of Dr. Welker, I have
agreed to agitate this matter and re
ceive any funds contributed for this
purpose. I have received thirty five

Does not necessarily mean the con
traction of disease provided the sys
tem is in a vigorous condition, with
the blood pure and all the organs in
healthy action. When in such a con
dition contagion is readily resisted and
the disease germs can find no lodg
ment. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the best
medicine to build up the system be
cause it makes pure, rich blood, and
pure blood is the basis of good health.
In cold weather it is especially neces
sary to keep up the health tone be
cause the txxly is subject to greater
exposure and more liable to disease.

nia Mitchell Dead.
The death of Mis Ruth Agnes
Mitchell, which occurred at Skyland
Institute, Blowing Rock, on the 14th
of December, has caused a cloud of
sorrow to settle over the school and
the entire Blowing Rock community.
Miss Mitchell was a native of New
Hampshire and was educated at Kim
ball Union Academy from which she
was graduated in June, 1 803. In the
fall of that year she came to North
Carolina and took work in Skyland
Institute. That she was a faithful,
conscientious teacher her pupils will
testify. It waa the privilege of the
writer to have met Miss Mitchell sev
eral times and had learned to esteem
her as a refined, cultured Udy. With
true devotion a sister writes: "She
was me oldest child and was always a
blSr.lS
. . .......
.w a J U aVAKT. IUT1I
ahe was ready to help and give to all
around. "
She died away from home, but not
away from friends for she had made
many in North Carolina. 8he was
buried in the church yard at Mt. Beth
el, and there her body awaits the res
urrection morning. From the, south
land our sympathies go to the friends
and bereaved ones in the North. May
the Lord bless them.
