OBITUARY.

DIED, in Hinesbrrgh, August 9th, HoYr
Posr, aged IL years and months.
BY this providence of God, the parents
were called for the first time to mourn the
loss Of a child, beloved not only BY them,
but by all who were intimately acquainted
with him. Possessed of an even temper
and generous feeling: he rarely if ever took
a part in the disputes which sometimes
occur among children. He had no, only
the love and esteem Of his brothers and
sisters at home, but of his associates at
school, who appear to lament deeply the
loss Of his society.
When about eight years old he INDUCED
a hope in the Savior. He appeared 10 be
governed in all his words and actions. by a
| religious principle. In conference meetings,
he was solemn and attentive. His lessons
in the Sabbath school, were we'll studied,
and he was very punctual to be present in
his class TO recite them
Some months previous to his death, he
with others, promised to read one chapter
day 10 the Bible, which he was faithful TO
do, so long as his health would permit
when unable to read on account Of his
health, he requested others TO read to him
Although at times he endured much pain,
! yet he was no; disposed to complain. He
desired TO be truly reconcied to the will OF
God. Death, however, had its terrors.
After ii became evident that he must soon
pass through the dark valley of the shadow
Of death, he wished his friends to pray that
all the fear Of death might be taken from
him. After prayers, being asked if he would
like to have psalm or hymn sung, he sale
that he should And two hymns were
! sung-the first commencing,
On JOrian'S stormy banks stand,
And cast a wishful eye
| To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
| The second thus
o! if my Lord would come and meet
| My willing soul would stretch her wings,
Fly fearless through deaths iron gate,
Nor feel the terror as she passed
Once afterwards his pain returned, AM
for short time he was deprived OF his rea
son. But his Lord again smiled upon hin
and released him from his pain. He ther
became quiet, and gradually declined unit
his willing spirit departed without strug
gle, or a sigh 20 wing its way to the worlt
of the blessed above. A. JONES, JR.
