to adopt of him the lines Of Tie poet III as eass
He has gone to mansion of rest
From region Of sorrow and pain;
To the glorious Land of the Blest
Where he never can suffer again.
The pangs of affection and sickness sraoI
The cloud on his spirit will darken no mosa
Who mourns that his garland is won
That the crown on his forehead is brigbe
Tint his trials and labors are done,
That his spirit rejoiees in light?
Who weeps that our loss is his infinite ,of

He walks in the smile Of his COP
And looks Ger those realms oftha sb-
Where Mortality's foot never trod,
Unseen by mortality's eve:
Where calm by green pastures, and dweripg.,s..,,

He hears the glad harper5 THAI '"' OAi
And feels not the fear of corrupt 49, y
On leave him to rest with his Coz
To join in that music benign,
Which dwells Ger his blessed abode
Where every sight is divine,
Where flowers immortal with lustre

On March 25th, in Petersburg, 81
Texas, MATTE, infant daughter Of T. MIH
angels watched and loved has withered to bIoonss
heaven Methinksi it was too pure for earth. Beotli
chilly wind did blast that tender bud and robba5s
soft blue eyes of its modest lustre and stole from l.
tender checks two bushing roses, but could not VIZ
its innocent smiles which rendered the little aveb
tful in silence wrapped in its snowy foliage q nT
taljty
"0h! what is life2 It's like a flower,
That blossoms and is gone;
1t hourishes its little hour,
With all ITS beauty on:
Death comes, and like wintry day
1t cuts the lovely flower away"
And can we say that sweet little Matte is porss
Alas it is too true; the little sivery star or bosom
Jewel has been taken from its adorers Matte was t
ly lovely child, and possessed, too an uncomnlp
intellect. few days previous to her death sheeaTd
her ma, told her to kiss her that She was going ods
and then she and pa would not have any Matte then
something remarkable for a child of her age. Wgo
not fond parents for thy little dove prepare 10 met
her in paradise where flowers never fade nor friend,
never part
cob! may you be SO blessed,
To go where it has gone,
And of those pleasures be possessed,
That flow around the throne" Lima
