Lucknow, Ont., Dee. 21, --The
death of Mrs. Elder on Tuesday,
although not unexpected, erected
quite a sensation among the residents
of this place.
For the past few months ber house
has been the resort of a very die -
orderly lot of characters, and almost
every night it has en the scene of
orgies of the worst eseription. The
neighbors, fearing that they might
be burned out, were afraid to take
any action against the offenders.
Sonic time ago Mrs.Elder's brother,
Sandy Fraser, sold his property in
town, and. 'has since made his home
with his sister. Run* had it that
he had been in the labit of beating
ht
bit
in a most shamen • inan ner, and
had even threatened ' take her life.
On Monday last C nstable Thos.
Shoebottom summoned her to appear
before a magistrate for keeping a
disorderly holm, mid ber brother
and ethers as being frequenters, but
before her trial cametoffshe had been
called to a higher tri : unal.
The news of her eath quickly
spread through town, and in a short
time many of the neighbors were at
the house. They found the windows
barricaded, as if to resit a seige._
However, entrance was -obtetned to
the house, where 'the ,eorpse was
found covered over 1th a blanket.
She presented a ghost v appearance,
the right arm and sid , being bruised
from the shoulder dove , but on her
face was no evidence .0 ill-treatment.
In the kitchen sat her brother, who
was in such a eonditi n from the
effects of liquor that lietdid not seem
to realize the serious position in which
he was placed. 4

never to allow herself to have pains

elient. r'This seemed an add
little fancy, as impracticable -as
original, until a short time ago, when
reading over the lists whieh 4 Wontt
an's Exchange prepares to meet the
wants ofits patrons, the eye fell upon
this item : "In the cheeringeup bust-
uess, A lady who luxe bad success-
ful experience, will read to or amuso
invalids or convalescents." Then
there is such an occupation after all,
and one which this cheering lady has
made successful as well. How does
she manage her delicate, work? by
what cunningly devised means has she
bottled up the sunshine which carries
its brightness into the lives of those
who are strangers to her ? and frora
what founts does she draw spark-
ling, exhilarating draughts? and
who, after she bas spent her day in
"reading to and amusing invalids and.
convalescents, cheers her when
twilight gives her back to herself?
Yet while as a means of gaining
a livelihood the business is undoubt-
edly new, it is really an old, very
old vocatioutto which from time im-
memorial women have spontaneously
devoted themselves.
In the home nest, as daughtee and
sister, a woman learns to express the
sympathy of a loving heart, and in
the new relations of wife and mother
her opportunities increase immeasur-
ably and unceasingly. Upon the so
called weaker partner has ever fallen
the duty of lightening by her ready,
responsive cheerfulness the burdens
borne by heo lord. and master.
The men wheat one must depend
on in the dark hours of life, When
illness and sorrows and losses depress
the most buoyant nature,often possess
in the highest degree the power of
cheering—physicians, Whose mere
presence seems to bring healing t•
lawyers and clergymen, whose help
glows with the unaffected goodness
of their sunny natures ; and others,
weighted with the -exacting cares of'
business life, who yet have a plea-
sant word and a bright smile in the
darkest hour of their troubles.
Blessed be all, . of whatever age, sex,
or condition, -who are "in the eheeringe
