Cunningham October 23, 1859. ived a faithful wife until October 16 1883, when her husband was called from her to a heavenly home, leaving her alone and no children to cheer rt home. Her brotjier lost his com panion and had several small children, and Aunt Sarah took charge of these hildren and has been a mother to hem. She loved them as if they had been her own. She lived to help raise em all and see them grown except the precious daughter; that was called Lome several years ago. Aunt Sarah was a. member of the Methodist church and was always ready to help in Christian work, and kt door was always open to the preachers. Before we had a parson age bulit the preacher's home was with Aunt Sarah. She was always kind and loving and had a kind word to all who spoke to her. She often spoke of a better home and how we all should live. She was a woman who loved home. and was always found there, in her rocker, and always met' everyone with a smiie. 1 She often said to her riends who; went, to see her. "Come back, don't wait too long, for, some day I won't be here." So we came yesterday and Aunt Sarah was gone. ler body was here but she had gone home where she is enjoying the beau ties of Heaven.

Aunt saran naq Deen in feeble health for several years, but her passing at the last was peaceful, undisturbed, and with a mind that had been ' Unclouded to the last. Her thoughts ' were always on her aged brother and her nephew that she had cared for so long and loved so well. She looked and watched for them1 till the last. If they were well she was perfectly satisfied. Aunt Sarah laeves two brothers and one - sister to mourn ner departure, and a host of friends and loved ones. Oh! how Aunt Sarah is missed in the the home, that vacant chair, that welcome smile is no more. It was. my pleasure to be in Aunt Sarah's home a great deal long years ago. and she never spoke a cross word to me, not even a frown, and I visited her on and on until the last and it was always Aunt Sarah so kind "and patient waiting till the Lord called her home.

CRAWFORD ' AND FAMILY. A Boat Trip Up the Hudson From New York to Newburgh New York, N. Y., Sept, 1. On Sun day, August 24th, the early hour of seven found me out of bed and rush ing about here and there preparing io start on a boat trip up the Hud son. Now, 7 o'clock might not be considered by the majority of folks as being any too early an hour , for getting up, but owing to the fact that I retired at a very late hour Satur day night; rather I should have said Sunday morning, it seemed v,ery early to me. .Well, I was very joyous over the prospects of a. day's outing. Like most children, even tlio' I'm a little more than a child now, I was very happy to get started on a new trip. Most especially was this to be a glad day for me because there was going with me an old friend whom I have long known, arid whose presence on the boat brought back memories of the ,' days six years past, when to gether we were placed on a crowded troop ship and transported to Bor deaux, France. Well, wc went on the boat "Wash ington li ving" at 8 :30,t expecting to leave at 9:00 o'clock, but after getting on were informed that the boat wouldn't leave, until 9.50. Hence, an hour and twenty minutes-wait,--but the time passed very swiftly and. at 9:50 we were on our way. Our des tination as We had already decided was to be Newburgh, which is sixty miles from New York. At' first after leaving New York the fog settled very thickly over, the riv er, and it seemed as if the trip .might be a bit marred by this, but later it cleared up and the day was ideal. We were therefore enabled to get some nice views along the way, and to en joy the wonderful scenery along the banks of the beautiful Hudson. The Palisades, rising almost' perpendicular from the river's edge for a distance of 20 miles or more, is magnificent; and the great Storm King highway, cut back at places in almost sheer cliffs, is a monument of efficient en gineering.. On we went, ever delighting in the many beautiful things. Then the boat .docked at . Indian Point, where quite a number of the passengers left us -and new ones were taken on in their place. So from 'there the boat proceeded toward Bear- Mountain, its next stop, passing numerous villages and towns on both sides, some of in terest and others of only passing no tice. At this stop, too, like at Indian Point, a flood of passengers left the boat and perhaps as many others were taken on. Shortly after leaving here, we see in the far distance what seems to. be only a small building, glistening brightly under the rays of the noonday sun. Nearer we ap proach and the building' grows larger and more distinct, then other build ings loom up, and we soon recognize the place before us- to be none other than famous old 'West' Point, where thousands of young men have been trained not only to fight their per sonal battles of 'life, but have been trained and equipped to fight the bat tles off this Republic. This place is soon left behindhand Newburg comes in view. Most of the passengers left the boat here, including my friend and myself. Newburg has a populatori of thirty thousand, and is a very beautiful and interesting town, but to us there was a still more interesting place near by. This place is Mt, Beacon. So after having lunch, we crossed the river auu iuuk t iiuiicy iu 111c iuui ui Lilt ,( , y-. 1 i .1 ' . ,'vVest 64 poles to a hickory, thence mountain, where we were transferred South 64 West 44 poles to a black to a car on an incline which leads to its summit. This incline ,;s all but perpendicular, and leads up to an al titude of 1540 feet. rrom this height a . person com mands a wonderful view of all the surrounding country. There before you on one side is seen the beautiful Hudson coursing its way majesti cally to the sea; on the other side can be seen the lonely green valleys and stately ridges which adorn this part of the Empire State. When one stands in silent admiration gazing upon the matchless beauty of these things, he cannot but think what a glorious world we live in "carpeted by the greenest grasses ad the never-resting sea. walled in by tower ing-mountains, domed by heaven's eternal blue, and ligktepyrmns sun and silvery moon and myriads of jewel stars that flash through the Here from the top of the incline there leads a trail around the side of the mountain to another high point where there 'is a reservoir, from which Beacon arid other towns get their water supply. It is almost two miles I would judge from the incline to the reservoir. Here we had quite a lengthy conversation , with an old, gentleman who lives there, after, which we took some pictures. Then . i ' . ... i r S .1 we looked at our watcnes ana rounu tct our surprise it was 4 o'clock. Well, the boat on which we wished to re- turifto New York was due to leave Newburg at 4:50, and it's a forty-five minute tripf'rom the, top of the in cline fo Newburg. So we almost ran over' each other getting back over those two , miles to the incline car. And here we found that instead of forty-five minutes we had only twen ty in which to make the 4:50. But we thought perhaps the boat may be late and that we' would make it any way. We made good time over to the town, and sure enough the boat was late and just 'coming in as we; were. So when' the ferry docked, we ran like horses for four or five blocks to get on the other boat, but we got to the entrance' just to be told by the gate keener that we were too late. Of course that didn't go a bit good but we laughed it otf nevertheless. There was an hour then to wait for the next boat, so we took in some of the .town. in. that time. At last we found ourselves on the way back to the great city. The boat stopped at Yonkers. which was the only stop it made until it reached 129th Street pier, New York; where my friend and I debarked. Thus tended a never-to-be-forgotten trip'up this; majestic river. . - " R. M. PEEK.
