OBITUARY.

Died on the 3lst ult, Sarah Elizabeth, infant
daughter of George w. and Deborah J. Green of
this place. born 18th August, lS49,--span of life,
9 months and 20 days.
This sweet tender nurslirg, survived its dear
little brother, William Edward, with whom. it
was twln) only nineteen days. Thus ''early
bright, transient morning dew, it exhaed"
and fled to heaven, where already taught in bliss
ful companionship with its cherub brother, they
sing the lovely song, worthy the Lamb for on
him, was laid the stain of mortal birth and paid
with many a tear.
Like fair spring forets, "nipt by the winds
untmeIy BLAST they both, began to droop
and fall.
Scarce had the fond parents breathed well
come, than their hopes were veiIed with clouds,
teaching us how frai are the most cherished things
of earth--Yet pleasing thought! sin, guilt or
shame or grief, could wake b'ush or pierce the
heart: while still passioness, yea, pure the
snow fake ere it falls TO take the faint of earth,
God sent "their angels who do always behold his
face" and thus early. thus kindly lured them from
earth's woes and bondage, TO take the spring Of
life immortal.
Their delicate little frames of clay (alI that
death could seize, and get not aLWnys hold,) now
gently lie, side by side, in the soft dreamess slum-
bers of the grave--waitng the hour, when Jesus
shall come, and raise and fashion them, like unto
his own glorious body,-'t then
Sleep on, sweet babes, Sleep.
Not in your cradle bed,
Not on your mothers breast.
But with the quiet dead.
'Ts hard to lay you there,
Deep in the damp cold earth;
Your empty crib to see,
And silent nursery,
Late watched with anxious care.
Yes it's hard zoe feel, zoe know;
Yet mourn not, parents dear,
So. The tUin buds, cropt by death,
-- - In heavens fair cline shall bloom.
Though feeble were their days and few,
Baptized in tears and pain,
He knows them, whom they never knew,
And they shoU ire again. L.
