MER, late Of the firm Of Marin h PALMER, late

age
DIEp, in Poolesvile, on the morning of the
llth instant, FANNIE Il. POOLE, aged 10
years, daughter Of FREDFR'cK and MARY POOLE.
How hath the light Of that household gone
out, and that sweet voice is hushed in death
How inscrutablc are the ways Of Providence,
aud his judgments are past finding outl We
who have loved her in life, now mourn her
exit from this transitory life with many tears !;
we shall miss her warm, aliectionate welcome,
and the glad tones of her voice, that endeared
her to a large circle Of much-,oved friends.
But it is God who has called her away in the
spring-time oflife, and his Judgment is uLer-
ring.
She was the idol of the home circle the CEN
ire round which many fond hearts Clustered
a dutiful and ahectionate daughter to her now
bereft and stricken parents She was one in
whom the qualities that most adorn the female
sex were combined. But she is gone passed
away with meteor-like rapidly Now her
vacant chair, her empty room, the desolated
HEARTH all bear witness that our longing eyes
shall no more welcome her glad return.
Around us each discovered chain in spark
ling beauty lies"--
But no earthly hand can again unite them; we
must submit 10 the mandate OF heaven 1t is
sweet to remember, on that bed Of languishing
how gentle, how lamb-like she was, and earn
estly, amid her sufferings, she sought that arm
of power--Eternal God was her refugc--and
how comforting and consolng to her mourn
ing parents she was not fbrsalen by the I'M
slumberiug Sbeperd Of Israel. Her dying words
were:
my trust is in thee, 0 God"
A blessed privilege it was
To gather round her pillow,
And feel His solemn presence near,
Who stills the raging billow.
Her parents fond and faithful hearts
Bowed very low beside her,
Whose hearts through crcling years had
prayed
No evil might bctdc her.
At last she panied u.s. day by day
Her glowing cheek grew paler,
Her eyes sent forth too bright ray,
As yigor seemed 70 fail her
Earth had strong magnntes still for her,
Our hearts thronged round about her;
How could we let our treasure go,
How could We live without herr
But in the end no cloud arose
To dim her spirits vision,
Why fingered she in suffering here
To finish her earth smisaion?
Can friends forget can they neglect,
Such sweet and solemn teaching
The Lord was pleased our souls to grant
4 Her deep and silent preaching.
Can we forget her faith aud hope,
On bounteous love relying
j So wholly on the Lced 80 life
T She cast herself n aymg
Her vofs i-. IS seemed 4one, and While
We waited for some token,
The silver chord Of life was lo0sed
The golden bowl was broken.
A FRIEND
