caulM she is lovable, a dauehter
of some of the liest people in the
county, whose home is near
Mpntrose. •
The facts afe: The young lady
had gone a short distance from
her home to the mailbox for

and fled to the house. "
The alarin was quickly Viven,
Sherijgf Hall and deputies ,and
hundreds of friends and nieigh-^

OUR TALENTS. .
We are getting old and feeble.
And our hair is gettin&r grey.
That is the sign we’ll soon
sleeping,
In the cold and silent clay.
God has given us a talent.
Did we use that talent well?
Think how fast we are going.
To eternity to dwell. ‘
Oh! the Bible, blessed Bible
teaches,
Rock, of ages cleft for me,
Ob! ti^e Bible, Holv Bible,
It is the book that teaches me.
i.-'
We will hear death’s train com
ing.
We’ll be at the station door.
We will step up in the cabin,
And you’ll see us here no more
' _ ■ ■ ' 'r* ■
We will hear the wheels a rOar-
ing, ,
Coming outhp lonely, track, y
It will bear us to the river.
And I know we’ll not ccfiie back.
Now..w^rare here-^^.just at the
river, /
The stormy Jordan, we are told,
If we’ll use our talents rightly,^
We will cross to the streets
of gold. . '
When we reach' the O^sfial
City,
We will be forever blest.
There the wicked will not
ble,/ .
And tha w.eary afe at rest.
If we use our talents rightly.
We will hear God’s angels sing,
Then oh! grave where is thy
victory.
Then oh! death where is thy
sting.
