ERE faded away one brilliant hue

Which life's rich hopes DER her pathway threw"
An we gazed upon the last remains of one whose
whole life had shed halo of happiness upon all
who came within the sphere of her influence. OF
her none could speak save to wish that Heavens
richest blessings might at all times be her guardian
angel; and fully, indeed, those wishes seemed re.
allied. She fair to gaze upon perfect in form
and feature, with a clear blue eye, within whose
liquid depths lay mirrored the purity and tender.
ness of the being they adorned. Her voice was
charming, for it seemed to breathe the melody of
the lutte, with the softness Of the Eolan harp when
lightly famed by the evening zephyrs and as it
fell upon the with that low, peculiar softness, it
seemed familiar-so like the strange music one
sometimes hears in dream. But she's at rest,
now; and in that sunbrighs cline where melody
never ceases, she has joined the immortal choir
who sing an endless pecan Of praise to HIM who is
eternal "They told me she was
deadl" With the fixed, vacant stare, and hollow,
unmeaning voice of the maniac, twas repeated, as
though the consciousness of its truth would never
be felt, Notwithstanding reflection confirmed it. A
hundred times day was the question asked, ''Can
she be deadl "-as often came the same unequivo-
cal affirmative reply. had followed her to the
grave--listened to the last prayer / should ever
hear in her presence-heard the hollow sound Of
the Installing earth, and paid the last tribute to
her memory in planting moss rose at the head Of
the grave, near the foot of which stood a weeping
willow, through whose bending branches the au-
tumn wind sighed in mournful consonance with my
grieved spirit Turning my eyes upward, stood
gazing in the blue ethereal vauls, begemed with
millions Of worlds as bright as ours, beyond which
my Imagination pictured the home Of the best,

our voices unite in singing the new song upon the
bright shore of that happy land where partings are
unknown? Yes-and till then, the memory of her
virtues will Irvine itself about our bruised hearts
