A Card.

When “times are hard,” people practice economy in differ out directions, and, often in a lifetime, the poor preacher is made *to teel tho tightening of the cords of % aigid economical policy adopted J?y tho .different members of th/a “flock,” and, too often it is tho case when money is scarce, and a good brother or sister considers that it is beyond his or her power to contribute any of that commodity, or that J.he amount to bo contributed must f»e greatly diminished, and they dismiss the matter, without any calculation of the effect such a course >yill have upon him who ministers to their spirtual wants, and without thinking that something might be (lono to make up, partially at least, tho loss ho incurs by such scarcity of the needful. 1 1 is, therefore, both refreshing and cheering to him who toils for the Master, to find one of whom it can be said as of one of old, “she hath done what she coaid.” The above thoughts were caused by the reeeptiQu of a beautiful quilt from the lair hands of Mrs. S. J. Humes, Mrs- A. Warnc, pisses Ella Warne und Jennie Humes, all of Union township, .Jasper couuty. It is said “a thing of beauty jc n joy forever,” and when comfort and durability are combined with beamy, the duration of the pleasure confered would sorely not be transient. The fair donors have the sincere thanks, and well wishes of myself and family, with the assurance that their kindness will * never be forgotten.
