| II is with painful emotions that we contemplate

qualities of her, whom have borne to the grave,
we but feel that for her 10 die gain.
/ week before she committed to the silent
grave she at school in perfect health with us
her companions but death, cruel and relentless
death, who cloves shining mark had chosen her
for his victim, and soon she was Frustrated upon a
bed of sickness aud death yet her pure spirit, we
have ample reason to believe, has scared to
"Realms above,
Where saints aud angels meet
To realize Savior's love,
Aud worship at his feet
She was perfectly willing to leave this vale OF
tears to 90 to her Savior, who was exceedingly
precious 10 her during her sickness. She expressed
desire to live her part, but thought far
better to 90 and dwell with Jesus. She manifested
great anxiety for the salvation of her impenitent
school mates, tor whom she proessed great regard,
after she found the Savior precious TO her soul,
which was but short time before her sickness
She warned all her friends who visited her, to flee
I to Jesus, and endeavoTed to converse with them
when unable TO articulae syllable. She had no
fearful apprehensions of the grave, death seemed
to be Swallowed up in victory, and in view of the
glorious triumph of faith manifested in her case
we can but exclaim with one of old, "Let me die
the death Of the righteous, and let my last end be
like" hers.
The following lines were presented to the be-
reaved parents by her teacher.
Remember fond parents,
The loss you dcpore,
May prove a rich blessing,
From Christs boundless store.
True happiness surely,
Your child's lot will be,
For Jesus, the Savior,
/ From sin says she's free.
1 Then mourn not, pray you,
For one so beloved,
i Who now is rejoicing
With angels above;
But place your dependence
| On him who declared
i That for such, was seat
AT the right hand prepared.
i From sin and from sorrow,
Your child now is freed,
All earth cannot harm her,
She's happy indeed
Then by should you mourn
AT deaths stern decree,
Since you cannot avert,
: Resigned, you can be.
And when the last trumpet
Shall rend earth and sky,
. then may you meet her,
In glory on high.
