MARGARET PONTI.

Died, in Greenfield, Ind., Wednesday, April 17, 1 "'89, Margaret, wife of Gactania Ponti. The summons was expected, l'o: the white-winged angel had been hovering near for many months. It is appointed unto man once to die, and when the messenger comes all the efforts of the deal ones cannot shield or save us from Hiss power. He calls and we mustjjobey.

Our ways are not God's ways, and we submit, believing that Hedoeth all things well. But how gladly would we have kept her with us, if only that she might see her children grown. She is gone, the family circle is broken, and her counsel is heard no more. But to the bereaved oneb we can only say: Weep not, but ratlu•. rejoice that her sufferings are over, and that she is safely sheltered in that PTome where sickness, sorrow, pain and death can never come.

Mrs. Ponti was born in County Down. Ireland, and came to Greenfield in 1869, where she married Gaetano Ponti, a na tive of Central Italy. Her father was a Presbyterian elder. She united with the Presbyterian Church at the age of seventeen, under the ministry of Thorn Walters, in the city of Newlowdards, Ireland. When she decided on Greenfield as her home, she joined the Presbyterian Church by letter, and has ever siuce been a zealous and active worker for her Master. Ever ready to do His work, to the sick she gave a cheering word, and to the poor a helping hand. Many will remember her deeds of kindness.

Mrs. Ponti was the mother of six children. Three have preceded *lier to the Home above, while one girl and two boys with the heart-broken husband remain to sorrow for the loving mother and wife.

Her funeral was held at the Presbyterian Church, conducted by Rev. Jones, the M. P. Minister. Her remains were laid to rest in the new cemetery, there to rest till God shall bid the sleepi dust come forth. I Farewell, farewell, loved friend! Other hands than mine will strew flowers over your narrow bed but, may we all meet

Jn the sweet bye-and-hye, meet beyond -the river, where partings are no more. VICTORIA WILSON MORFOKI.

MEMPHIS, TENN., April 22, 1889.

TRIBUTE TO THE 51EMOIJY OF AUG A RET HELEN PONTI. Sister, this world no mora

.4

Can claim thee for its own In other climes thy radiance beams, Thy thoughts employ on nobler themes,

Near the eternal throne. A crown of glory now you wear, And with thy Lord Ilis kingdom share.

Far from a life of pain, From .sin and sorrow free Eternal rest you gain,

Enjoy felicity.

We drop a tear without a fear, Belored of heaven and to the Savior dear.

11UCKCKEKK.

Farmers in this neighborhood are very lackward with their spring work, caused ve suppose by the variableness of the feather or, probably, it may be from jOme other great cause which we cannot all to mind at present. We do not like play all the blame on the weather, but we were always very careful of what fe said, and as the weather is a somefcing which cannot very well defend it blf we will lay the blame at its feet, or, it were, we take the weather as our jfeastwork. If we did not have some ach thing to hide behind, the impression |ight go out that there are people in this (llightened land of ours who are indeed fey, and then the persons alluded to, on turning that we were the party that dijjnosed their case, might rise up in a 'rathful mood and strike us down, the marked effects which have

jpong

come under our observation, are the following: Some of the farmers sowed their oats the middle of last month, while others did not sow until the middle of this month. Some are done breaking for corn, and have been done for some time, while others have just commenced but yet, provided the weather does not take a boom, we feel rejeiced to say that all our neighbors will come in on the home run in due season. We have been thinking for some time that some of our neighbors would commence planting corn in this month, but our thoughts have become oread cast upon the waters, the fruits thereof to be gathered days hence, by seeing one (if our neighbors who has not as yet discarded his overcoat. He even wears it when going to and from his daily vork, but we are not going to be responsible for saying that he wears it while at voi'k. We have often wondered if some that welcome admonition would be poken of some of our neighbors, '"Well •lone thou good and faithful servant.' We fear they will not enter the bright eyond as good servants if they do not !-etty soon gather the remainder of last year's corn crop, and also cut the cornstalks that are yet standing upon their .vheat. We are sorry it happened, and vet we are glad, because we are relating a .act. A Sunday or two since we called upon one of our neighbors. The sun had been shining for two hours or more in all of its splendor, and our friend was yet in oed. He tried to impress upon our mind hat, being at hard work the day before, he was tired. We half way believed him. vVe don't want it noised about though, or fear those who are not intimately acquainted with our friend might harbor the thought that he was "born tired,'1 out we hope our friend will forget our road-wanderings at so early au hour. We forgot to say in the commencement of our letter that a good many of our neighbors are doing considerable ditching and cleansing, which may have some effect upon the seemingly lagging spring work of the farmers. But we will not go too far in that line for fear some may think that our breastwork is giving way. As our thinking apparatus is giving out, we will have to stop. More auon.

Oregon Letter.

We left St. Paul Wednesday evening Feb. 20 at 4 o'clock, taking our places in an emigrant car which is arranged for secoud-class passengers. About 2 or 3 hours' ride out of St. Paul the conductor came through, took our tickets and gave us another one which had a description blank and was filled put by the conductor. L'he blank read something like this: color of eyes, color of hair, young or old, stout, medium or slim, full beard, chin whiskers, moustache, beardless, and had the names of the different divisions of the N. P. Railroad.

On Thursday morning there was a gen uLne western blizzard raging. The hail was as fine as sand and the wind blew with such force that it bltw under the window sashes into the cars. You can't realize what a Dakota blizzard is unless you have seen one. One not accustomed to this sort of weather could not go 25 feet from the train without getting lost. Some of us were compelled to wear our overcoats to keep warm and the ladies had to have hot bricks for their feet. The stoves at each end of the car were red ho. Not accident happened to our train except the pulling out of a draw pin which only detained us 30 minutes.

Two engines pulled the train and an engine with a snow plow went ahead to clear the track. On Friday we passed through Big Horn tunnel, which is the hignest point on the N. P. Railroad. On Saturday morning the fog was so heavy we could scarcely see the scenery.

At Hope. Idaho, we stopped about 30 minutes and while here a steamboat came in from the gold mines which are said to abound with this precious ore.

We passed through Stampede tunnel on Sunday which has electric lights on each side of the track about 25 feet apart and is one and three-quarters miles long. The same day we passed through thirty-nine tunnels and snow-sheds.

We reached Portland Feb. 24th at 0:30 p. m. and we were glad to set our loot once more on solid ground, after a wearisome journey of 2,500 miles across plains, over mountains and around sharp curves. At Portland we visited the Chinese Joss House, a place of worship. They have their rooms fixed very artistically.

We visited the exhibit given by the Board of Immigration, where we found every product grown in the State, every county being represented.

is preparing to put a new foundation beneath, and add a second story to his dwelling Painting, papering, gardening and house-cleaning are the order of the day, and the average citizen of either sex is so engrossed thereby that the effort to induce one to stop long enough to give the reporter an item, is a work of &npe erogation... .Acton camp meeting is having a wonderful boom, and more than half the cottages are already rented, Prof. Hudson will aguin have charge of the music, and a number of notable speakeis will be present.

Spasmodic Advertising.

If you want to be healthy you must eat regularly, as meat to-day will not serve you for to-morrow. To be well and hearty eat at every meal time. To be prosperous in business advertise regularly. Stop one and you starve and die. Stop the other and your business takes consumption and dies also. Spasmodic advertising is like having a "feast and famine"— more famine than feast as a general rule —and is never satisfactory. To take out your card in dull times is like killing your liorse because he is a little lame. In dull times advertising is the most effective, as more notice is then taken of printers' ink than any other time.

Notwithstanding the fact the weather was so very inclement, the opera house was pretty well filled last night to hear Mr. Clarence Hough's readings and recitations. From the beginning to the end of the program he held the elose and pleased attention of his audience. While all his selections were admirably rendered and highly appreciated, his rendition of "Rubensteien" was probably the best. During that recitation the audience was in a continual uproar of mirth, and many handkerchiefs were used quite freely to wipe away tears caused by laughter. Mr. Hough is perfectly at home on the stage, and his natural and easy manner adds much to his success as an impersonator.

It is to be hoped that he will repeat this entertainment when the weather is more favorable.—Carthage (Mo.) Daily Democrat.
