RHODA j., wife OF Henry Gurncy, aged 2;
yeurs.
Long will hor friouds remember
That lovely. cheerful fuce,
That met with them on winters owe,
To help timo's tagging pace;
When the fire was brightly blazing
Upon tho ample hearth,
How they gathered round its brightness
In health, for joy aud mir'h.
Alas! how soon they check their laugh,
And hush thoir merry shout,
Grim Doath had come to claim his own,
Aud Rhoda's lamp burned Oat,
As tho lovely Autumn flowers
That early frosts have chilled,
Will droop and fade in silence.
Fro their blossomng cups are filled.
So calmly und so silently
They saw her sink to rest,
To slumber drcamessly upon
Her mother earths cold breast;
And now that frosdo circio
Seems desolato aud lone.
For sbo, the loved among them all,
Tho favorite, is gone.
Yet twere bettor-6rush nsido
The tear that rises for her sake,
/ And quonch tho feelings of regret,
Foud memory would awake;
i For she has left this sinful world,
Her earthly cares laid by,
And sought purer. brighter world,
In realms beyond the sky.
