At the end of the sacred Baster week, from a home in the western part of our city, an elect soul, loyal and true, crossed the bourne and entered her Father's House to go out no more for ever. Mrs. Jones, known to many in our midst and also to Him who calleth each of His children by name, had spent more than half of her life in Kingston, coming from Berlin, New York state, After some considerable time spent in different homes where she ministered as an efficient nurse, she heard the plaint of a family of young children, one of them an in- fant, was lured by it and came to the home of Mr. McBride, 563 Prin- cess street, where she remained for more than 36 years and where her life work ended. From year to year she gave of her best in God's ser- vice to these His little ones. She was spared to see fthem grow to man- hood and womanhood and all settled in their individual homes, except one, thé youngest, who remained with his father and foster-mother. That which we gow shall we also reap, and by the divine law of com- pensation the bread she had cast so lavishly on the waters, through many days and years, came biick to her a hundred fold in loving devotion, and particularly during the last five years since she has been a sufferer from and incapacitated by paralysis. The youngest son gave up his oc- cupation and in the capacity of home maker and nurse cared tenderly for her as a daughter and today as a son, mourns with his father their best earthly friend. The returned sons and daughters are with them in their sorrow, but the loved and honored foster-mother lies quietly in death's dignity as they gather about hen casket and talk in loving tones of 'her lite and works among them. It is all very beautiful and inspiring to ponder over. Mrs. Jones was pure gold at heart and "full of good works" in the home circle in which she revolved and which she made so happy a cen- tre for those she loved and served. Her motherly heart went forth as well to many others outside the home, particularly to'those who like herself travelled the way of suffer- ing. A healer and binder yp of wounds naturally, divine love bad added the gift of sympathetic under- standing and of others' sorrow and true wisdom In dealing with it.

The old log barn and house; haunts of my childhood days. How often have I sopght the shelter of thy walls--not from rain er storm, for the sun and wind entered be- tween the logs and the shingles were old and decayed. Not for these, but to be alone and to dream dreams and wonder about the past. They were remnants of another age and seemed to convey to the young mind thoughts of a time long past. It was almost sacrilege to ¢ross the threshhold of that old house or to 'carry on" in the old barn. Now as it comes back on the wings of memory, all the old fa- miliar sounds are a part of the pic- ture, and are heard as plainly as in those far away days. The swallows chirping as they sought their homes, under the eaves, or up on the old rafters. The wind moaning and whistling, mingled with the sound of the creaking timbers seemed to increase the vividness of the picture. There were other sounds and other voices, speaking, yet silent. Voices of those who felled those great trees and hewed their sides and fitted them in place, and who went in and out of those ereaking doors. But we never saw the faces of those who labared, they. them slept just a little way off, up the hill, and the sun shone and the wind moaned too over their graves, and all was silent. No voices came back out of the dim past. It was the silence of death, and in awe we often stood be- side their graves or moved about the old buildings they had erected and inhabited. They sleep Where they built their first home, and where the first tree | | was felled, and a large flat stone they selectad at their heads. And the orchard nastled around the' foot of the hill, aud the trees. that. the axe had spared and that yielded bushels of nuty évery year, all near the old log and barn. ¢ ' We feel we owe much for such a heritage of loyalty and devotion, energy and sacrifice, and fof acres of wilderness cleared and under culti- vation, and good buildings that re- placed the old log barn and house. They made it possible for us to en- joy all the advantages of our mod- ern lite, good schools and churches, good roads and comforts innumer- --Matilda Arth ur, Trenton.
