aged 20 years and months.
A feeling Of sadness always attends the an
nouncement of the Implying and remorseless
visitor, Death, be who the victim may, but when
his icy hand is laid on one so young, and kind,
and loved, it falls with increased bitterness
Never before did so large an assembly gather at
the little church to hear 'the last of earth pro
nounced, as on last Sunday Never in five
years residence have we witnessed such bitter
and unchecked grief when the last sad look
was taken, and the cold clods fell heavily on
that cherished form.
None ever spoke other than kindly Of CARRIE
All who knew her well loved her for her gentle
disposition and womany virtues. The warning
is sad one, and will be long remembered by
those who knew her as she was. Oh, that Death
would be less relentless that when life career
is to be stopped it should be one SO highly priced
But there was rejoicing in heaven when CARRIE
died, for the angels came forth to welcome her
pure spirit to companonship around the Throne
of God.

The WeaverviIIc Esurying-Ground.

We give place to the following suggestions
with pleasure relating as they do to a matter in
which every good citizen should feel an interest.
1t is certainly discrcditable to a town containing
the enterprise and intelligence which Weaver
willie does. that the public cemetery, fast filling
up, should be thus neglected. Strangers remark
the fact and we do trust the proposition of our
correspondent will be acted upon, and that the
gentlemen mentioned as Trustees will indicate
their willingness to act as proposed:
Mn. EDITOR 1t seems to me it is time our
citizens were taking some steps toward enclosing
our public graveyard. Death has lately been
busy in our midst and the narrow mounds so
fast gathering on yonder hill admonish us that it
is our duty to secure those only external eViden-
ces of the inmates from unseemy exposure.
Scarce one among us who has been resident
any length of time, but can point to the grave Of
departed friend, and many have laid away near
and dear ones few weeks ago a husband was
called to stand beside the grave Of one who had
come many thousand miles TO join the life pill
grmage of him she loved, but ere the first mile
stone DER that uncertain road was passed, she
crossed the dark river, and added one more to
the inhabitants Of that silent city on the hill. A
little while thereafter aud a wife hears the clod
fall harsbly on the cofln-lid of the father Of her
babes while they, poor innocents, are too young
TO know the loss they have sustained. Yesterday

it can be truly said
None knew thee but to love thee,
None named thee but to praise"
spot around which clings so many sacred
memories, and destined to receive within it many
who are now little dreaming of what they may
soon become, should ! think receive little of
our care. 1t would cost comparatively small
sum to inclose the whole within a neat and per-
mancnt fence AS none of us know how soon
our friends may be called to lay us down to rest,
we are all personally interested. | therefore
suggest a voluntary subscription, and in order
to carry out the plan, would name Measrs. John
Martin and p. Mcclure, as Trustees to whom all
who wish can pay their contribution, and when
enough for the purpose Las been contributed, let
them cause the fence to be built. | have no
doubt those gentlemen would be willing TO act
in that capacity for such purpose, aud we all
know them too well to doubt a judicious applica-
tion of the money. Let us for once try the
experiment Of raising funds for laudable under
taking, by free and voluntary gift, without being
obliged to run down every dollar collected.
