Has left this world Of grief and pain.
Yet We e'ra.assured he'll tee again.
His friendly facs no more we'll see
This side long e,einity:
Alt1ongk this tho't has chased us pain,
'Tis bliss 10 know he'Il rise again.
His lovely volee 10 mote we'll hear
Join in our songs Of praise SO clear;
Yet glory 10 the Lamb that's slain
We know he'll surely rise sgaio.
His earthly sdfsrings are all Ger, s,.
Nor shall they disturb him more:
But calmly thus will he remain
Till be,is called to rise again.
We need not monrn as without hope
Though it has been heavy stroke:
Our loss we irusl is bis grea, gain.
Because we know he'll rise again.
He's paid the debt We all Yet owe;
He's gone the way We all must 90.
We need not fear to cross death q stream.
Since we're assured he'll rise again.

suffered greatly from Chronic Pleurisy;
butseerhad better, and his friends hoped
soon to see him again, what for the great.
er part OF his life be had been, the very
picture ofphysical health and strength. -
But duung the period of his Gonzales
cence he was attacked with Diptheria 10
most obstinate and malignant form, and
the tower OF his strength was soon broken
aud the strong man fell prey to death.
The deceased was a young man of most
excellent moral habits-of modest and re.
firing nature but Of so much heart and
soul that he made hosts of friends and
bound them to him with hooks of STEEL
lu all his sickness, he manifested most
exemplary patience, and bore all his pain
and misery with for,ilude that was more
than bravery--it was religion-he felt
that he was in the hands of The righteous
God who dOelh all things well, and that
whatever the event was, it would be right
and good, heexpressed a confidence in
Christi confidence that all his friends
think to have been we'll founded. He
died quietly-passed awav without a
slruggle-genty as goes flower 10 sleep.
His friends stood beside his bed-were
with him to the last. But though they
did1nos leave him, he left them; and where
he went they could not go. Bat tn re
was one friend unseen by all those eyes
blinded with tears. unseen by those eyes
glazing in death, a friend who watched
over that death h-bed and was seen by the
eyes OF the Spirit, as in the new life they
were opened upon another form oil exist.
snce, friend Who stiGketh closer than
brother, who has in heaven mansions pre-.
pared for all who 1--we him-and whose
delights are so great that he, who we
trust, IS now with him, cannot mourn for
the friends that he has left, because his
soul is SO filed With Joy in the friends
whom he has found, that there is no room
for grief. y
