DIED1
In this city, on Thursday, the 4th inst, Mrs.
MARY A. SHAW, wife of JOEL K. SHAW,
aged 20 years, 10 months and 10 days.
The deceased was kind, amiable and much be-
loved, and her untimely death is fraught with
grief to all who knew her virtues. She leaves
many relatives 10 weep over her loss, and an
aftectionate husband bathed in tears. She also
leaves IN infant child, that feels its ''6rst grief"
in the loss Of kind mother. May he who stem
pers the winds TO the shorn lamb" alleviate the
sorrows Of those who weep, and watch with es-
pecial care the tender years of this infant.
THE CHILD'S FIRST GRIEF.
Mamma, why don't you answer me {?
Why do you lie so still?
Can't you sit up, and can't you see?
Are you SO very i'll.
You have been sick a long, long while,
And very, very weak;
But yet you always used to smile
Mamma, why don't you speak?
When round the bed / used to play,
And watch her features, mild;
She would smile on me as she lay
And ask to kiss her child.
Why is that shade upon her brow?
Her eyes are sunk and deep.
She is quite still and quiet now,
And yet It's not like sleep.
She's gone to Heaven, I am told.
And there she feels NO pain;
But here she is all pale and cold!
Will she not wake again?
Poor child! thy mother feels no pain
Her spirit is al rest
She sleeps-she will not wake again
With angels she is Llest!
IT'S sad TO chill thy tender youth,
With tears convulse thy breath;
But thou must know the mournful truth,
This sleep, dear child, is Death!
