hind them.

mains were interred in the Protestant
cemetary. The bearevaed parents
have the sincere sympathy of the
people of O’Neill in their bereave
ment.
Man's life is full of crosses and
temptations. lie came into tlio world
without his consent, goes out against
his will, and the trip between the
eternities is exceedingly rocky. When
lie is little the big girls kiss him. if
lie raises a large family he is aclnimp,
but if raises a. check lie is a thief and
a fraud and isshunneef. if lie is poor
he is a poor manager; if he is rich lie
is dishonest, If lie is in politics you
can’t tell where to place him, and is
no good to ids country; if he does an
act of charity, its for policy; if he
don't give to charity lie is a stingy
man and lives only for himself; if he
diA young there is a great future be
fore him; if he lives to ail old age lie
missed his calling.
