Sacred to the MemOry Of Margaret
Williams.
By REV. J. MILroN AKrRs.

She was the daughter Of William Williams
resident of West Providence Township, Bedford
County, Pa. Her form and features were as beau
tiful as her spirit was pure. She had not been
married a year before that fell destroyer consump-
ton, carried her away from a large circle of sor-
rowing friends and acquaintance; away from the
sorrows of an inconsfant world to the 'irealms Of
gloTy'' above.
s'Her spirit has flown to its rest,
Afar from the suffering ciod.
Hath gained the fair climes of the blest
And rests in the bosom of God"
She was one of earth's fairest, purest children.
ssN one knew her but to love, none named her but
to praise" was intimately acquainted with her
in early life, and having known her by her maiden
name still retain that name as mos. appropriate.
o, Margaret! friend Of my youth,
weep o'er thy early decay,
Though ] know through the portals of truth,
Thou hast entered the regions of dag.
Yet sad is my heart when think,
That friendship on earth cannot last,
To know there is broken link
In the cha in that binds me to the past.
But not as the hopeless weep;
Though your body is cold in the ground,
IT'S only to sorrow you sleep,
Your spirit with angels is found
In the realms of bright glory above,
Again may We joyfuy meet,
And reFel forever in love.
AS we bow at Immanueis feet.
No spirit more pure than thine owa,
Was e'er to mortality given,
None brighter encircles the throne,
Than thine in the Kingdom Of Heaven.
Serenely as closes the eve
OF beautiful, soft summer day,
Thy spirit its mansion did leave
And was waited by angels away.
In the crcwa of our Jesus on bgl,
4 brilliant she ever shall shoe,
Where friendship AMI trnth neyor die,
But brighten with gories divine.

The Toronto Leader, which is regarded
as quasi organ Of the British Government
contains the following in regard to matter
which, just now, Is creating not little ex-
citement--nomely, the statement that
France and England are fitting out pow
crful steam feet for the United States
Surprising the statement to be correct,
there does not seem to be any great dlliicuI-
ty in understanding what tall means. Ihe
two sections Of what recently formed the U.
States have assumed antagoni>tic poslIlois
towards ono another; and nobody can soy
when war may break out between them.
England and France especially the former,
have large trade to protect in the Ameii-
can waters and IN the event of war the
steam fleet would be necessary for that
purpose This seems to be the most inttl
gent explanation of the united movement
of England and France II can hardly be
that an allied fleet is to be sent South, for
the purpose Of arrcstug any fllbustering
mnyemeut that the Southern Conicderacy
might make; for before the new government
has settled with the old, it will have some
thing else to do than to seek to extend 1
dominion which is yet Of doubtful authority
