By some misunderstanding, the member* this church have got an impression that a debt of about $800 has been contracted and was all provided for by subscription, but an investigation the present week shows a balance of about fifteen hundred dollars yet due on their church over and above all money subscribed.

"Make the bed easy, Mr. B.," said old Uncle Abe to the undertaker, who was preparing the ooffin for his aged wife. "Make the bed easy, for her old bones are tender and soft, and a hard bed will hurt them." He forgot for a moment — that old gray haired man-that she was dead ;that the old bonee had done aching forever. fHxty four years had she walked by his side, a true and loving wife. Sixty four years ! Just think of it in this age of divorce. Sixty four years had they dwelt under the same sorrows of life ; together mourned over the coffin of their first bom ; together yqjoiced in the proaperity of their sons and daughters, and now she has lefthim alone. No wonder he forgot. Her loving hands have so long cared for him, for he had Iwen the feebler of the two. "Until death do us part," said the marriage service that united them so many years ago. Death had parted them, but the love still survived. Tenderly had he oared for her all theee rears and now tenderly did he watdt the making of the last bed of this loved wife. He had bee rely breasted the atorm of life by her aide, but now the waa gone be could wot He*, and in a faw days they Md him ! he W ride
