Liberty News -- The last few days again shadows forth the uncertainty of the continuation of physical identity and the uncertainty of the constant changes of mortality. Two more mortals of humanity have passed from physical animation, from our village. The compound that formed the entity of human being to be chemically or scientifically dissolved, the component parts again to be separated and passed back into the unseen elements from which they were composed, still filling that Immortal place In the grand economy of nature's law that permits of no Ioss or gain in the transfer, although passed from the vision and Identical knowledge of man, yet the fact of the immortal existence can be no less a real and established truth than when an existing entity in a compound state or organized body. Nature declares in the plainest terms to every existing individuality, the tax I assess upon you must and shall be paid each and every day, and you can gather from my bountiful storehouse, in a a crude from, fro which you can extract through the process of my law, to reinstate the deficiency of my demand, and when you cease to comply with this liberal offer, or have drawn your allowed portion, I will take the broken fragments or worn our machine to myself and recast into other forms for my further use. Nothing shall go to waste, or lie idle for one moment in the rigid economy of my plans, and the unliquidated debts or violation of my laws shall follow from generation to generation, without let or hindrance, until paid with interest, hence the premature deaths of middle age and early youth, to fulfill that sentence that cannot be committed, and no living mortal knows when he or she shall pay the same penalty for their own transgressions or hereditary taints, that none can escape under the economical law of physical existence. In the present case Mrs. Alspaugh (and daughter of Mr. Alex. Tressler, of your city), was one of the victims, in the bloom of life a highly intelligent and respected neighbor, leaving three motherless infants, the youngest but a few weeks old to be be care for by father and friends. The other a bright and pretty little daughter of the widow Kershner, but four years old, a little bud snatched almost without warning from an unfavorable turn of the measles to appease the unerring law of nature. And thus we see all ages are called upon to drink the dregs of the bitter cup and sooner or later the supplies of the great warehouse of nature will be cut off, and we too must lay down this physical form to emerge into the realms of hidden mysteries, from whence none have returned to tell the tale.
