These with 51 grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren, nearly all living number her posterity. The aged father and husband is feeble and almost blind. And will sadly miss those willing hands, ever so ready to minister to his wants, May we not hope that when he leaves this, to him, dark world, he may behold her in the clear sunshine of heaven?

Farewell father, farewell mother,
Farewell sister, farewell brother,
From childhood's home and scenes of youth
I,ve gone to dwell in the mansions of truth;
Life's troubles o,er, my work all done,
My soul at rest, the victory's won.

Earth's turmoils and satanic strife,
The sorrows and the griefs of life,
Can reach me here with God no more;
They cannot land on this fair shore;
My griefs are gone, I know no fears,
And God has wiped away all tears.

Farewell , farewell, my teacher dear,
No more your kindly voice to hear
In school on God's dear Sabbath day,
When oft we met to song and pray,
To learn of Jesus and his love,
And seek a home in heaven above.

Farewell, my classmates all so dear,
Twas God's own call, dry every tear,
O murmur not, nor heave a sigh,
I,ve gone to join the school on high:
Be ready then my schoolmates all
To go when Christ the Lord shall call.
John Brewer.

HOOVER.- On the 10th of Dec., in Clinton twp., Elkhart county, Ind., of consumption, Dr. Ezra Hoover, aged 30 years, 6 months and 5 days.

But that insidious destroyer of human hopes and purposes, consumption, fastened its hold upon him and step by step his strength wasted and death claimed him for his own. He enjoyed a wide circle of acquaintance, and was beloved and respected by all. The sorrowing mother sisters and brothers feel deeply their double bereavement, as just 16 weeks before they were called to follow the remains of the dear husband and father to the grave. May God bless these afflictions to the promotion of a devoted Christian life in the hearts of every one of these afflicted friends, and may they all feel that though a kind heavenly Father has afflicted, he has not forsaken them, "for whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and these light afflictions which are but for a moment, work in us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. He was buried at the Clinton Mennonite Church, where services were held by J. F. Funk from Heb. 12:5, 6. The funeral was largely attended.

Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding
O,er the spoils that death has won,
And our souls are sad exceeding-
We still would say- thy will be done.
