think of the time when she will greet you
with sainted voice, and robed in gar
ments washed white in the blood of the
Redeemer.
4 Although friends and relatives have
suffered great loss, which is her eternal
gain, yet Ills not to be felt without tears
of sad lamentation We are doomed to
hear no more the merry voice. rejoicing
with those who rejoice, or the tear of
sympathy believing the lovely cheek which
she SO freely shed for those who mourned.
This is changing world, "passiDg
away" is engraved on every family circle.
The de1rest objects are snatched away;
the most beloved and cherished friend is
doomed to extend to US the parting hand,
and utter the sad farewell. There is a
home that knows no change, the ties of
early friendship are never cut assunder,
by the sickle of the mighty reaper, Death,
where the sorrowing ones of this world
may find u sweet relief from grief. where
the sighs and tears of earth are exchanged
for unending songs of JOY This home is
found in Heaven, the pure celestial home
where my young friend is destined TO
bloom
eve shall meet our friends departed
Whom the promised land hath won,
Shining as the stars of Heaven
Around the everlasting throne,
We shall meet them. -hallelujah;
At the rising of the just"

Death of Mary A. Evans.

De0lh Oh Mary a. Evans.
Mr.. EplToR-I crave, a small space in
your paper IN. which TO dedicate a few
lines to the memory of Mrs. MARY A
EVANS, who departed this life on ,he Gath
of January, 1860. at the residence of her
husband, iu Waynesburgh. Green County,
Pennsylvania.
Itis painful yet gracious task, but
will not through the medium of the pen
attempt to do justice to her social and
moral charms. / cannot but murmur,
although it has pleased the Ruler of the
Universe In His Infinite wisdom 10 remove
from amidst the social circle of life to the
pure above, my early beloved friend and
associate MARY A. EVANS who in the
bloom of youth and with the flush of
hopes bright morning upon her. has faded
away into the cold embrace of the silent
tomb, too fair q flower to longer flourish
upon the soil OF this siu-po l,ted world.
In her death society has been deprived Of
bright and promising ornament, The
mourning parents of an affectionate and
ever dutiful daughter, of whom they can

added one drop to our cup of sorrow,
committed no error that would cause
tear. d IL is net consolation but sympa-
thy--deep and alfeetionate sympathy. l
offer. them in this the hour Of their over
whslming sorrow, but l dare say He who
tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, will
look with compassion upon them and give
them the blissful assurance that though
the beauteous casket has been consigned
to the cold damp vault, there to moulder
and return to mother dust, they will be-
hold the glorious gem sparkling brightly
10 the peary city, miuglng her voice
which istuned to sing her Saviour's praise
with the melodious music of the cheru-
bins.
To the affectionate husband thus early
deprived of the brightest bosom star which
community could have given him, it is a
happy thought that he can again meet in
spn.bright regions his loved companion,
when she awakes from her lcng aud dream
less slumber, blessed and happy ever more.

which her death has enveloped you, and

sweetly the Christians Hope'' without assist
ance. Although she had many endearing re-
lations to bind her to earth, yet she yielded
all without murmur, and pilowed her head
onJesus' breast, and breathed her life out
sweetly there.

Sweetest pleasures while we live;
'Tis religion can supply
Solid comforts when we die.
After death its joys will be
