Was borne to worlds on high,
Before its charms did half unclose
To your admiring eye.

tis true, it was a being bright,
Of beauty rich and rare,
With rosy cheeks and eyes of blue
And curling light-brown hair.

E en had it lived a few short years,
In all its beauty bright,
Its eyes would oft be dimmed with tears,
Its heart been touched with blight.

her faith in Jesus at the age of eighteen, was buried with Him in baptism, and
continued a devoted Christian until, on Thursday, February 6, she fell asleep

Death of Jacob Pfalzgraf
We learn from Mr. James Drum, who resides at Broomfield,

Center, was drowned on the 4th inst. The particulars are detailed in
the following:
On the 4th inst., Mr. Drum and Mr. Pfalzgraf were
running a raft of logs down the creek, which had risen to be a roaring, rushing
tide. The raft had run into Mr. Drum s
mill-dam and, despite their efforts, was nearing the breast of it, to plunge
over, when both men jumped into the freezing water, Mr. Drum succeeded in
gaining the shore, but Mr. Pfalzgraf must have been seized by cramps as his
efforts to swim were very feeble. Mr. Drum s wife was standing on the creek
bank and motioned to him with her arms how to make strokes to swim; but he made
no progress. Mr. Drum pushed a board to him and hallood to him to take hold of
it; he laid his hands upon the board, but had not the strength sufficient to
grasp it. In an instant he fell over
the dam and down the seething current. His body had not been recovered when Mr.
Drum came here on the 5th inst., to inform his friends of the sad
event. A wife and several children are left to mourn the loss of a kind husband
and father.
P.S. The body of the deceased was taken through this place,
home, on the 7th inst., having been found on the 6th
inst., about one hundred yards below the dam, where it had lodged on a
sand-bar.

letter, September 10, 1873)
Ed. Spirit: I am requested by some of the
readers to furnish you with a full and authentic account of the terrible
explosion and utter destruction of the portable saw mill owned by Messrs.
Aikin, Douglas and Mellott, of Jerusalem.
These
gentlemen had some time since, set their mill and sawed a number of logs near
Mr. Archibald Cole s mills, in Belmont County, on the north branch of Captina,
about six miles south of Barnesville. They had nearly finished their work for
the time, having only 3 or 4 logs to saw, when the boiler burst with a most
terrific explosion, killing two men instantly and slightly wounding a
third. This fatal accident occurred on
Saturday, September 6, 1873, between 11 and 12 o clock, causing a deafening
report which was heard for miles around.
Mr. David Douglas, one of the owners of the mills, and Mr. John Simmons,
off bearer, were killed instantly, and Mr. Wilson Mellott, one of the owners of
the mill, received a slight wound in his jaw. (letter continues with

Died of pneumonia, on the 6th day of February,
1873, John Sloan, of Stafford, in the 68th year of his age. He has
been a resident of Monroe county for nearly 60 years and was personally known
and acquainted with almost all the early settlers of the County; and
acknowledged by all who knew him to be honorable and just in all his
transactions in life. He was exemplary in more than this, he formed an early
attachment to the Christian Church of which he has been a prominent member for
over thirty years. In his last illness
he was submissive to his fate, often saying that he was willing and wanted to
die. He has left a widow, a number of relatives
and friends to deplore his loss, many of whom are widely disseminated. Thus it is that we are called upon to
chronicle another death and raise another monument that points to the
inevitable and certain doom of all the living.
The funeral obsequies were performed by Rev. Olmsted, of Beallsville,

Death of Harrison Smith
The following letter was received by Mr. Koehler, of
Woodsfield, on the 24th ult.:
Houstonia, Mo, June 19, 1873.
Mr. F. Koehler Dear Sir: It becomes my painful duty to
convey to you the sad news of the death of my father-in-law. He was struck dead by lightning on Tuesday
evening, 17th inst.

DEATH ON THE ROAD!
Joel Smith, of Sunsbury Township, Dies in His Sled.
WHISKY THE CAUSE!
We are called upon this week in our capacity of journalist, to
record another sad affair resulting from the use of intoxicating liquors.
Our information is that on Friday, the 31st ult.,
Mr. Joel Smith and nephew left their home, in Sunbury township, for the town of
Carington. During their stay there Mr.
Smith purchased a bottle and jug of whisky. On the road home Mr. Smith drank
the contents of the bottle, and remarked to his nephew that he believed he
would try the liquor in the jug. He
partook of a quantity of it and in a few moments became unsteady, when the
young man took the lines and Mr. Smith laid down in the sled. This occurred
about four miles from Mr. Smith s residence. The young man drove home, stopping
at the stable near the house and called to someone at the house to bring a
blanket to throw over his uncle, to keep him warm, until he unhitched and put
the horses away, when he would assist him into the house, as he was too drunk
to walk.
After caring for the horses young Smith tried to arouse Mr.
Smith, when to the horror of all he was found to be dead! And from the appearances and rigid condition
of the body twas thought life had been extinct for some length of time. Two
physicians were called who gave it as their opinion that death resulted from
the use of the liquors drank; and advised the friends of the deceased to
preserve the liquor in the jug until further investigation could be had.
Mr. Smith leaves a wife and three children to mourn his tragic
death.

S. and Jane Spangler, aged 7 years 7 months and 7 days. The unexpected death of the dear departed
one calls for a passing tribute to his memory, from one who has known and loved
him well. He was possessed of a mind of
more than ordinary strength for one so young; his amiable and affectionate
disposition caused him to be loved by all who knew him. In the spring-time of
his life he was called by the allwise Father to his home with those who do
always behold His face, and in the spring-time we have laid him to rest, when
the buds are selling and the flowers blooming and the soft spring winds which
whisper above his grave seem to say to the breaking hears of those left to
mourn, Resurges

Singular Coincidence Mr. Charles Speer, a worthy young man
residing in Somerton, died last week. He was afflicted with Typhoid Fever, and
when nearly convalescent, had an attack of Schrofula and died Tuesday morning
When a child twenty-five years ago, he was very ill and not expected to live
His father, James Speer, at that time had a singular dream that the child got
well and lived until he was twenty seven years old. Sure enough, the boy recovered, and when the fatal time came
around he died as the dream had indicated.
He has been almost ill until death on several previous occasions, but
his father, having faith in the dream, never lost hope until this last illness.

Ed. Spirit: On Thursday, July 31st, John
Stewart and wife, and Miss Mary Harly, all of Sistersville, West Va., drove out
to his fathers, some two miles from town.
Returning about eight o clock in the evening, they had not driven far,
before the horse, being blind of one eye, took fright at a white faced cow,
which came suddenly into the road from one side, and began to rare and plunge
in such a manner as to soon throw Mr. Stewart out, and ran but a few steps
further till both the ladies were thrown out, the seat going with them. Mrs. Stewart was so badly injured that she
died in a few hours. - A broken rod of the seat, or something else had pierced
through her back entering the lungs.
Miss Harly received a severe cut across
the head, running back from just above one eye about seven inches, and so badly
torn loose as to require ten or twelve stitches to secure it. She was considerably bruised otherwise but
is thought will soon recover.
Mr.
Stewart received several bruises and cuts, but was not dangerously hurt. Mrs. Stewart was a member of the
Presbyterian Church in Sistersville, and the funeral was from that Church on
Friday evening. Rev. Reed, pastor

Mr. Umpleby was a man very highly esteemed by all who knew
him, as a kind neighbor and a good citizen Quiet, unobtrusive, gentle, full
of charity to all, withal steady, firm and unfaltering in his devotion of
spirit and activity of labor, he won the esteem of all who knew him.
For 31 years he was a devoted member of the M. E. Church, much
of the time filling positions of honor and trust.
Connected with him for many years as they have been, his
brethren are fully prepared to witness to the worth of the service he has
rendered the church; but when to that they add the weight of a spotless
religious character, and the example of a life bid with Christ in God, they
awake to a realization of how weak their tribute must be since words are so
powerless, to express the value of his influence. To a singularly amiable disposition he added the charms of
Christian gentleness. He rests from his
labor and his works do follow him.

Obituary
It has pleased Almighty God to call from earth and to eternal rest
Seth Ward, son of Seth L. Ward, of Salem township, Monroe County, Ohio, aged 23
years, who departed this life November 7, 1873. The deceased, until a few months prior to his death, presented
every appearance of health, and to the gaze of mortal men the apparent prospect
of many years of useful life. And to
those of his acquaintance, the change wrought by the ravages of the disease
which carried him to an early grave, had, no doubt, the effect of calling to
the remembrances of many intelligent minds the following stanza:
"The spider's most attenuated thread
Is cord, is sable to a man's tender tie
On earthly bliss, it breaks at every breeze."
A few months before his death the first appearance of
hemorrhage of the lungs gave notice of the fatal disease. - From thence medical
aid was secured, but to no good results; the rider of The Pale Horse had marked
his pathway, and followed closely and still closer, until he trampled him
beneath his iron hoofs, and now his friends who survive can only console themselves
over the past of his well spent life while here and the future of a glorious Eternity. His life was short and was one of exemplary
demeanor: his steady habits won the
admiration of older men. He was a
member of the Clarington Band and beloved by all his fellow members. They were
all present at the funeral, which was on Sunday, the 9th. A large concourse of people, composed of
friends and acquaintances, assembled at the house in the morning, when, after
seating as many as possible, Elder G. F. Strickling, who was called to take
charge of the funeral ceremonies, delivered the funeral discourse premising for
the occasion the 14th verse of the 14th chapter of Job:
"If a man die shal he live again?"
The effect produced upon that large assembly of people, whose
marked attention to the speaker, and whose feelings were manifested openly,
gave the strongest evidence that the Spirit of God was there to heal as well as
to wound.
After the ceremonies were over at the house, the members of
the Clarington Band took charge of the body and handed it to its last resting
place on the top of the hill overlooking the Ohio River Valley, a very
beautiful place, dedicated by the father of the deceased for a family cemetery,
in which another little mound was raised, another loved spot, accompanying
those, of the nine brothers of the same family, was added.
While parents are bereft of their children on earth, and
afflicted with sorrow from time to time, that happy family who have crossed
over the stormy river, and are now enjoying the pleasant sails, in happy
groups, on the ocean of Eternity, are now and then receiving one more to swell
their number, the glory of whom no finite mind can have a proper
conception. Their enjoyments are such
as the Great Head of the Church has been pleased to give; their habitation such
as His great love would prompt His great ability to construct at the time He
told His Apostles that "In my Father's house there are many mansions. If
it were not so, I would have told you.
 Seth has gone to that blessed home, that happy place, "where
the wicked cease from troubling and the weary can be at rest."

The exam will consist of short-answer questions and writing your own code.
The review below, in addition to Lab 4, Lab 5, and Lab 6, are all fair game for the exam. For the labs, this includes both code you've written and questions you've answered.
$t0 - $t9
.
You may assume that the C types int
, unsigned int
, and int*
are each 32 bits long.
int s0 = 0; unsigned int s1; // `s1` and `s2` are of type `unsigned int` // `s3` is of type `int*` for (s1 = 0; s1 < s2; s1++) { s0 = s0 + s3[s1]; }
$t0 - $t9
.
You may assume that the C types int
, unsigned int
, and int*
are each 32 bits long.
You may assume that array
was declared globally, and it is an array of unsigned int
.
array[0] = 0; array[1] = 1; unsigned int s0; for (s0 = 2; s0 <= s1; s0++) { array[s0] = array[s0 - 1] + array[s0 - 2]; } s2 = array[s1];
myArray
(which is declared elsewhere, and is of length 10), and do something with each element:
# initialize registers move $t0, $zero li $t1, 10 loop: # check that we're still in the loop slt $t2, $t0, $t1 beq $t2, $zero, after_loop # load myArray[$t0] into $t5 la $t3, myArray add $t4, $t3, $t2 lw $t5, 0($t4) # do something with myArray[$t0], AKA $t5. # this has been omitted # increment counter and go back to the top addiu $t0, $t0, 1 j loop after_loop: # this is where code after the loop goes
The code above has a bug in it which will cause it not to iterate through the loop correctly.
Specifically, $t3
won't always hold the value of myArray[$t3]
.
Two questions follow:
This isn't a question, but the following example files from the course webpage are all fair game:
You should be familiar with the rules in the MIPS calling convention documentation. The following questions all indirectly relate to that document.
li $t0, 10 # save 10 into $t0 jal foo # call foo add $t1, $t0, $t0 # 10 + 10 = 20
int add2(int x, int y) { return x + y; }
Answer the following questions, which are all related to how the above code behaves with respect to the MIPS calling convention:
add2
is called, in what registers will the values of x
and y
be initially placed?add2
returns, in what register will its return value (x + y
) be placed?
bar
below is implemented in MIPS assembly, which takes two parameters, which we'll name x
and y
, respectively.
The function is supposed to return the result of (x * y) - (x + y)
.
However, there is a bug in the function, with respect to the MIPS calling convention.
What's wrong with the code, and how could it be fixed?
bar: mult $a0, $a1 mflo $s0 add $s1, $a0, $a1 sub $v0, $s0, $s1 jr $ra
first
, below, which calls another function second
.
second
doesn't take any parameters, and it doesn't return anything.
There is a bug in the code below.
What's wrong with the code, and how could it be fixed?
first: jal second jr $ra
third
, below, which calls another function fourth
.
fourth
doesn't take any parameters, and it doesn't return anything.
There is a bug in the code below.
What's wrong with the code, and how could it be fixed?
third: addiu $sp, $sp, -4 sw $ra, 0($sp) jal fourth lw $ra, 0($sp) jr $ra
$t0
needs to be maintained through a call, but we're constrained in that we're not allowed to store $t0
's value in a preserved register (e.g., $s0 - $s7
).
This can't be done directly, as the MIPS calling convention allows the caller to clobber $t0
.
However, there is still a way to save the value of $t0
somewhere where it can survive the call, without needing to use a preserved register.
Where can $t0
be saved?
How can this be done, specifically with valid MIPS assembly which obeys the MIPS calling convention?
This isn't a question, but the following example files from the course webpage are all fair game:
You will not be asked about tail-recursion.

4.4 : Half Adder
So we're gonna start by adding two 1 bit numbers. I'm gonna first set this up like a truth table. Remember, this is NOT a truth table. (No pun intended) We are adding these bits.
| x | + | y | = | Carry | Sum |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | + | 0 | = | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | + | 1 | = | 0 | 1 |
| 1 | + | 0 | = | 0 | 1 |
| 1 | + | 1 | = | 1 | 0 |
Let's analyze the work we just did.
First to notice, we added bits.
0 + 0 = 00.
0 + 1 = 01.
1 + 0 = 01.
1 + 1 = 10.
This is all quite clearly listed above.
Remember the reason we use 00, 01, 10, and 11 as our values for X and Y in that exact order.
It's like in elementary school, when you have certain meats and cheeses you can make a sandwich from.
You can only choose one meat and one cheese to make a sandwich, what are all the combinations to make a sandwich,
This order of numbers exhausts all the possiblities of "binary sandwiches" we can create.
Also, these are the binary representations of the numbers 0, 1, 2 and 3.
This puts order into our sandwiches.
Past that tangent, we've added the 1-bit values to create a two bit value.
The first bit is the sum, the second is the carry.
Let's analyze these columns.
Since we're going to solve this problem with boolean algebra, let's look at this from a boolean algebra perspective.
If we compare X, Y, and Carry, what boolean operator is this?
What about the Sum column?
If we compare X, Y, and Sum what boolean opoerator creates this outcome?
Try not to peek down below.
If you answered the questions above correctly, you found that the two main operators used are XOR and AND. Now if we apply XOR to both X and Y, then apply AND to both X and Y, we have added two bits together and formed a Half Adder. The half adder is a basic buiding block to build a full adder and then a CPU. Down below I put circuits for the half adder. Notice how X and Y are connected to both XOR and AND. Have fun adding bits.
Practice Problems
Enter the boolean operator that gives the same output as the CARRY column.
Enter the boolean operator that gives the same output as the SUM column.

Buffer Library Example
Studies show that even in well-designed programs, we typically find 50%-90% of code contained in clones, repeated many times. For example, the extent of the redundant code in the Java Buffer library is 68% [1], in parts of STL (C++) - over 50% [2], in J2EE Web Portals - 61% [3], and in certain ASP Web portal modules - up to 90% [4].
Redundant code obstructs program understanding during the maintenance in at least, two ways:
In this section we demonstrate ART's potential to reduce program complexity by eliminating redundant codes.
The reader can find the structure and the source files of the solution here
The example's source code can be downloaded from here.
The original representation of the mentioned 71 classes consists of 16299 lines of code including comments. The representation with VCL consists of 3720 lines of code. With the VCL representation we could eliminate 77.2% of the code using the commonalities between les.

- A programmer must maintain more code than he/she would have to maintain
- When one logical source of change affects many replicated code fragments scattered throughout a program, to implement a change, a programmer must find and update all the instances of the replicated fragment.
In this section we demonstrate ART's potential to reduce program complexity by eliminating redundant codes.
Buffer Class in ART
A buffer contains data in a linear sequence for reading and writing. Buffer classes differ in features such as a buffer element type, memory allocation scheme, byte ordering and access mode, as described in [5]. Buffer classes can be found in java.nio.* package. Each legal combination of features yields a unique buffer class. That is why, even though all the buffer classes play essentially the same role, there are 74 classes in the Java Buffer library. In earlier case studies about Java Buffer library, [1][5] they group the Buffer classes in three main levels. In this paper we will use the same classification:- Level1: buffer data element type: byte, char, int, float, double, long, short
- Level2:
-
- memory allocation scheme: direct, non-direct
- byte ordering: native, non-native, big endian, little endian
- Level3: access mode: writable, read-only
Buffer Classes in VCL
Representing repeated code with a generic adaptable form is a good approach to make the code smaller and easier to understand. We start by creating groups of similar Buffer classes. For example, classes ByteBufferR, IntBufferR, LognBufferR... form a group of similar classes. The Figure below highlights similarities and differences between classes HeapByteBufferR and HeapIntBufferR. 71 classes (all classes except Buffer, MappedByteBuffer and StringCharBuffer) can be categorized into seven similartity groups as follows:- [T]Buffer: contains 7 buffer classes of type T (level 1).T denotes one of the buffer element types, namely, Byte, Char, Int, Double, Float, Long, Short.
- Heap[T]Buffer: contains 7 Heap classes of type T (level 2)
- Direct[T]Buffer[S|U]: contains 13 Direct classes (level 2) U denotes native and S - non-native byte ordering.
- Heap[T]BufferR: contains 7 Heap read-only classes (level 3)
- Direct[T]BufferR[S|U]: : contains 13 Direct read-only classes (level 3)
- ByteBufferAs[T]Buffer[B|L]: contains 12 classes (level 2) providing views T of a Byte buffer with different byte orderings (B or L). T here denotes buffer element type except Byte. B denotes big endian and L - little endian byte ordering.
- Heap[T]Buffer: contains 7 Heap classes of type T (level 2)
- ByteBufferAs[T]BufferR[B|L]: contains 12 read-only classes (level 2) providing views T of a Byte buffer with different byte orderings (B or L). T here denotes buffer element type except Byte. B denotes big endian and L - little endian byte ordering
- We build a so-called meta-class which will lead the generation of all files from this group, in this case this meta-class will be named Heap[T]BufferR. In the meta-class we declare the type of the Buffer class (T) as a multi value variable using #set command.
#set elmtType = "Byte", "Char", "Double", "Float", "Int", "Long", "Short"
- In a loop command we iterate over variable elmtType adapting the common template for all classes using #adapt command.
#while elmtType #adapt Heap[T]BufferR.tmp #endwhile
- Customizing the adapt command, we insert the unique codes in the template using #insert commands. We decide about the insertions based on the value of the variable elmtType using #select command inside of the #adapt command with #option and #otherwise clauses.
#while elmtType #adapt: Heap[T]BufferR.tmp #select elmtType #option Byte #insert-after moreMethods #adapt byteMoreMethods #endinsert #endoption #option Char #insert-after moreMethods #adapt charMoreMethods #endinsert #insert toString #adapt chartoString #endinsert #endoption #otherwise #insert-after moreMethods #adapt otherMethods #endinsert #endotherwise #endselect #endadapt #endwhile
- The code fragments mentioned before, are taking place in the SPC file. In the template file Heap[T]BufferR.tmp we control generation of files using #output command, and we give place to #break commands for customizing the content.
#output "output/Heap"?@elmtType?"BufferR.java" ... [Template content] ... #break moreMethods ... [Template content] ... #break: toString [Default toString] #endbreak
