wILIIAM,H. ALDRIcII: oldes. on - D., y.

WILLIAM .sALDRICFI, eldest son of Rev N
and EIIzABErH D. 5ALpRIcH, was born on tho 10,
OF January lo4O, and after brief soiourn of II
years, months and days, was called away on
the 9th Sept. inst. ' 't'
The child Of many prayers, it pleased God most
gracousiy to accept the petitions in his behalf,
winch mad been laid on the Mercy Seat and to an.
Swer tnem IN tne conversion of his SOUL Satisfied
that his illness was unto DEATH he prepared to meet
his God. When asked by the venerable. .clergy-
man who had baptised his mother, as we'll as him
seif what preparation he had made for his great
change, he replied, g have called on God, and he
mas heard me, and answered my prayers and has
pardoned my sins for the sake of my Saviour"
TO other kind ministers and friends who visited
mum, ne gave the same unwavering testimony. He
alluded very touchingly to the religion which his
mother had taught him when he was little boy,
and entreated her NOT to eeve for him. as he would
surely meet her in heaven. He requested her 10
sing his favor.te hymns for him. and Joined with
her in doing so. He plead with his father TO give
him up and let him 90 home, for he knew that God
was willing to receive him, and had "taken
charge of him for ever and ever" But few
hours before he died he repeated the two last YER
ses OF the beautiful hymn he loved in clear tri-
umphant voice:
Death, with thy weapons of war lay me low,
Strike, king of terrors, l fear not the blow;
Jesus hath broken the bars of the tomb,
Joyfully, joyfully will GO home"
Surely the rod with which this stroke so merci-
fully given was inflicted, was in fathers hand
Who would refuse to pass under that rod Who
would gruige this young pilgrim the rest so early
attained2 ;
Softly and sweetly he passed to that rest,
Lay the turf lightly upon his young breast;
Bring your fresh flowers to strew DER his tomb, {
Sing of the grace, that has biighen'd its gloom
No more pilgrim, on life's thorny road, =
No more in sorrow, to wander from God;
No more stranger, in sadness to roam,
Joyfully, gently, he left us for home. ~ u
