lost mother, whose tender, and wachrul has
never failed but with death She was indeed a kind
and atcctionate wife, devoted mother, and firm and
true friend, and we love to cherish her memory.
To the bereaved children will say,
She is thy guardian angel now from distant nights,
Half way from earth to heaven, she looks down,
Drawn by the fsrvor of her childrens love;
Then upwards gaze upon the holy hills
To Him who loved her, ere the world began.
And dost thou wake to weep, wouidst thou recall
Thy mother to a world like this, to live,
To sin, to mourn, to suffer and to die again;
To pass from heaven to earth, TO exchange
Its golden streets, and pearly gates, and life
ForeyermOre, for the dark dream Of time?
Woudst thou withdraw her from His blessed fold
I T., lie 1, l,.

From the good shepherd. She Nil not return,
But you 'hall go to her. CON.
