DEATH VS.. LIFE.

How beautiful is death Who has not felt
thus, while standing beside the coffin where
rested the beloved form of one who even in
death, exceeded the lovelincss Of life. AS We
gaze upon the sweet face, whereon is resting
the calm peacefulness of Heaven, We know God
has gazed upon that face, before US. Hc saw
the loveness and grace which animated the
soul, and gave buoyancy and life to that silent,
tranquil sleeper and lie knew that death was
better than life Let us labor hen, to relieve
death Of the sombre darkness and gloom with
which the fearful and unbeievpg have clothed
it, and robe it in pure, spotess garments OF
light. For what is death, but the disrobing of
the spirit-the gate through which, alone, we
we may enter the bcssedness Of our Fathers
presence When the soul expands, till its
frai ,enament of clay is but fetter, then
death is glorious for it brings the soul release
when the heart is bowed with sorrow, and
the soul is chasened by suffering, death cometh
as welcome messenger ; for it speaks of end
less rest when the heart is free from pam,
and life bu, one long day Of happiness, then
death is sweet; for it bringcth but higher joy.
Though there is void in cur hearts, pain
ful and bleeding, for those who have gone be-
fore, we know there is joy in Heaven, where
the pure spirit Of the loved one is waiting to
greet US. Look not downward then, to the
grave; but upSard to Heaveu-to God.-
There is light there; beautiful Heavenly
Glorious Turn back, o death Open The
the narrow portals vf the tomb, till We also
pass through and behold the glorious which thou
briugest. Mrs. HERssy.

THE ONE l LOVE BEST.

When they told me he was coming,
My careless heart was free;
But knew ere Spring was over.
How dear he was to me.
And when the rosy Summer came,
With blooming bud and flower,
yielded up the palm Of love
To every passing hour.
Then came the glorious Autumn,
With fields Of waving grain
And as I loved each varied hue,
may not love again.
Though Winter came with chilling grace,
He could not freeze my heart
AS moonoeams kiss the cold, deep sea,
In silence, and depart
So had learned 70 love him we'll,
Though stern he was and cold.
NY love had lived through frost and snow,
The Sprir g-tme to behold.
And still it lives though Spring has gone
The gentle Summer too
And the silver shades Of Autumn
Arc tinged with crimson hue.
love the fower-crowncd Summer,
In fragrant beauty drcss'd
But the gorgeous sccnse Of Autumn,
Are those my soul loves best.
l love the Winter and the Spring,
The Summer-all are dear
But the golden-tintrd Autumn,
The host of I'll the wear.

 Few men in any community, in the common walks of life have exerted greater influence 6or good than the subject of the above notice. He Has possessed ofa good mind, we'll stored with general information, and guided by stern integrity of character. He was as citizen an advocate of every object having in view the gen. eral welfare of the public, endeavoring by pre- cept and example to instil into the public mind "a high tone of public action, and to advance the material interests of the community in which he spent his life But the distinguishing feature of his life was ms earnest, uniform christian life and experi- .snce. Early in life he joined the North Corn. wall Congregational church, when there was but 70 members. and to which, he lived to see added at various times about 800, a result to which his iabors and prayers under the blessing of God greatly contributed. He held the office of dc.1 can 3S years, was superintendent of the Sobh,th school many years in succession and was oftan chosen to represent the church in the North Consolation. Many grey haired pilgrim who reads these lines will remember his cheerful earnest zeal for the prosperity of Zion. He loved Zion above his chief joy and he studied her peace and prosperity. He was eminently a man of peace.
 The consistency of his life and charater il seen in his private relations we'll as in hi public life. He was father of twelve children all but one of whom survive him. and all of then were in the judgement of charity subjects of re moving grace before arriving at the age of 2( years, living testimony of parental faithful ness.
 Dea. Hart retained his bodily and mental viz gor to good degree until seventy years old since which he has been gradually sinking un- der the weight of years, until the early morning of Saturday, May 1lth, after a few days of nor, rapid decline, he passed peacefully away, like shock of corn fully ripe and fit for the master use.
