DI ED,
In this town the 18th ult. Of scarlet fever,
JAMES EDWIN, sou of DAVID ScoFIELD, in tue fifth
year OF bis age.
" Thin three short years this afflicted husband
and fitther has followed the tomb the Whole of
his little fanIly, consisting of his wife aud Two
children. @#1
Not all at once, but one by loves fondest ties
were torn, z-s. ......- s- h.. -
A Mother first Consumption's prey, to the cold
grave was borne; -
When winter winds sung wild her drge upon tue
mountain air, qzz. ..
They laid her with her death-sealed lip in silent
slumbers there.
And the ,ear-wet turf upon her grave as green
again,
Her babe came there to seek the form for which it
pinned in vain;
1t could not live when she was gone, for ell the
world would prove
desert pace, a lonely isle, without Mothsr's
love.
Twas we'll poor babe, that thou should die amid
the flowers of May,
Ere the brightness of their bloom changed by
many sutry day;
That thou shouIdst leave this lovely earth, in
greenest vefdure drest,
While Spring birds caroIed round thy bed to luIl
thee to thy rest. -
And still another could not death one precious
relic spare, ......-.. . ...-z- 49,
Whose smile might waken thoughts of her who's :.
image it doth bearl ~
A voice upon the Winds of Spring Is GAZING hin
away,
That brighteyed boy, to lay him down beside hin =
kindred clay.
Well, what remains for him who stays little lon =
ger here, f. -
When the last one of his household is laid RPoa
the bier, -- .
But just 10 live for HIM whose grace the blessed
hope hath given,
That he ere long shall go to meet his family ii
Heaven!
