Death loves shining mark"
In Menasba, Wis, Dec. Sd, 1857, SARAH A,
wife Of R. N. Scott and daughter Of J. L. Bishop,
Esq, aged 2S years.
Il has passed into proverb, that Affections do
not come single handed and alone. In this in
stance, at least, does the remark hold good for
scarcely had the notes Of sorrow at the funeral OF
the mother, whose death was recently chronicled
In this paper, died away on the ear, before death
again entered the same family circle, and marked
as bis victim the daughter, without 40 much as a
note Of srnins to alarm even her most intimate
friends.
There 10 always something very sad in seeing
one whose prospects no fair for many years Of
happiness ind usefulness cut down at the very
threshold Of life.
Come to the bridal chamber, death
Come to the mother when she feels
For the fret time her first born's breath
Come when the blessed seals
Which close the pestilence are broke
And crowded cities wall at It's stroke;
Come whom the heart beats high and warm
And thou art terrible; the tear,
The groan, the knell, the pail, the bier
And all we know, or dream, or fear
OF agony, are thine -"
But the dealings Of God are tnscrutable and his
ways past finding out
By Iii, event Of Providenes, a circle of true
mourners husband, father. sisters and other
friends-are left to lament the early and mex
pectsd departure OF one who by her amiaele as
position, generous sympathies and graceful man
ners, adorned all the relations in life in which she
had been called to act.
The funeral services were performed ana dis-
course preached on the occasion BY Pres. Cooke,
Of Appleton, from these words" 10 what puI-
purpose was this water The design was to
show that the moral ends Of Probation may be
answered though life be very brief. O.
The Loss OF A WIyK.-ln comparison with the
loss of wife, all other bereavements are triring
The wife she who fills so large space In the
domestic heaven she who busted herself so un-
wssriedly for the preclou. ones around her bit
ter the tear that falls upon her cold clay! You
stand beside her coffin, and think of the past
1t seems an aInber-eolered pathway, where The
hung sliiterlng overhead. Pain would the soul
lnger there. No thorps are remembered save
those your hands may unwilllngly have planted.
Her noble, tender heart lies open to your Utmost
slQht. You think Of her now as uu gentlsnsss,
| al beauty, all purity. But she 10 dead The
| dear head that lay upon yopr bosom rests in the
| stiu darkness, on q pillow Of clay. The hands
that administered so untirngly are folded, white
| and cold, beneath the gloomy portal. The heart
| whose every beat measured an eternity Of love
| Ies under " Ut feet. The flowers shs bent over
with smiles, bend now above her In tear, shakins
the dew tron petals that the ysrdnrs around bel

White arm over your shoulder; no speaking faes
