..nder this blow one Of the most sudden and
s,,t. rending that could have been inflicted. -
M bgrstng Of tornado 10 the clear summer
tho fall Of an avalanche into the bosom Of
~, soft valley could not have been so appal
~, and unexpected, as the early death of this
.~i,bIe Dung man. He was in the first un-
sI,bted glow of health and hilarity-in the
Tag and flower time Of his days--he was the
canSest, the strongest, the largest aud most ro-
s,, Of all his race, and just preparing to leave
Inc 10 continue his education. But he has been
'n55euly torn from life and all its brilliant hopes
u bs, fallen like young oak Of the forest shiv-
I'd BIZ the thunderbolti And what is the voice

To the bereaved and soul smitten femIy,

hose without hope" He had been faithfully
Instructed in the goodness and mercy fthat Sa-
,our in W hom he always believed with the con-
6sins trust of child, and of whom on his death
Nd, he said, ~ do lore him." and again, 81
er, ma Saviour" Let them
u-- rejoice that they have called
Sorich treasure all their own;
Rejoice, cen tho by cares CENTRALIZED,
That DER their path his love once shone.
And as they mourn, remember too
He hath been spared the toll and strife,
The wasting griefs, the DIRE ans untrue,
The thousand ills Of human life.
They have the memory of his worth,
Their futures shadowy vale to cheer,
Tho brief his pilgrimage on earth,
Twas marked by Virtues, rare and dear.
The turf is on him Weep not now
All blessings crow the early dead!
He was called home, ere from his brow
One trace Of rad ian, mirth had fled;
Knowing but Loves unclouded sun,
hi. dream of earth was bright as brief;
Rejoice that when the goal he won,
His crown had not withered leaf'
