Too long has slunheF held control,
With labor spread thy steps before.
'Tis not for thee In haleyon bowers
To waste the sweets Of summer calm,
And wear away the heeting hours

Thou'rt called unto precious trust
A vide domain demands thy care,
To Vivif Its torpid dust,
And raise grand perfection there.
Illimltable ls the Aeld
On which thou destined art to toll,
That good and evil fruits will yield
frOn active seed and teelnlng soil.
God help thee In thy strong essay,
My soul, scarce used to strife like this;
With an adding trust obey,
And hnd, In duty done, thy bliss
Pluck up the tareS Of sin and pride,
Prung ID exeTescencss OF vice,

This garden 10 thine own domain,

And every muscle thou must strain,

Our lamented friend was a constant sufferer
fer over two years with those painful diseases,
umbago and spinal affections. Although at
tended by experienced physicians and teuderly
nursed byan aifectionate wife and kind friends
yet no remedy could arrest the disease, land no
sympathizing wife or kind friend could allie
yiate those shocking pains under which he
sank away until death came to his relief Of
his good qualities rs citizen we might Just Y
speak, but will only say that he was strictly
honest, uright and punctual in all his deal
ings, kind and obliging neighbor, an atfec-
tionate and prOyident husband, a tender and
indulgent parent, and in his last days a devo-
ted christian. We can but sympathize with
the bereaved family and friends in their deep
afiliction.

Little Charlie appeared thoughtful beyond
his years and endeared himself to all who
knew him by his winning ways and kind af.
fectionate disposition. He was the youngest
of the family and the centre of love and hope.
No one who visits his home but will feel sad
vacancy in the family circle. He died with
full confidence that he was going to see his
Saviour, and dear friends gone before. His
last wish was that all should meet him in
Heaven.
We should not mourn our loss,
The Saviour bid him come,
And angels waited him
Up to his heavenly home. HIS.
