Kindly ac- cept this tea set and curtaius as mem- entoes from a few of the many friends you are leaving, and May the. Almighty Lord guard, guide and keep you is the prayer of Yours lovingly, THE GUILD. The lady being taken by sur- prise, arose, and could scarcely find words to express her feelings, so thank- ing them for their gifts sat down amidst tears of overwhelming sadness which touched the hearts of al present, feeling that they were. abbut to lose one who Was very near and dear to them in all the workings and business connected with the church. Whe,n the ccmfusien had.. somewhat abit,:ed and the crisis seemed to be at an end, Mr.,Samuel Sweet appeared npon the seene with another address, which had been prepared by N. Dyer Hardon, on behalf of the congregation of the church, and read in a clear tone of voice, and on coming to that part where it srlyS "accept this nurse with coutents" he -handed to him a purse containing ein all $64.00.

After urging upon those to whom he was speaking and all connected in the prosperity of the chureh to tightthe good fighb Wheli ho WOUld be absent from them, and then there would be sach a gathering into the foal that all would hail the glad news from Our Heavenly Mastee, "Come unto me ali. ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." Upon taking' his seta, Mr. Sweet arose., and once niorts IN,ished to state, that what had been given had been done so eheerfully by those whom he had called. upon. A Psalm was then read and prayer offered by the clergyman, and after eachhad bid the couple and the occupants of the house good night, seperated to their se vera homes.
