The death Of this interesting little girl, 20 full o

has indeed left blank in that social circle ia hici
she WAS SO fondly cherished and beloved. A few
years since, being adopted by kind and indulgsn,
cunt she left her nstive city for the sunny South
With the expectation Of visiting her home at soms
failure day But she was never to return sgain
Death came; her bright eyes are closed; the swe 81
smiles are qaencsed and her voics of geetul Eau
els has gone, client forever. But those who &C
deep deplofe Ler early loss, and n whose tear.s
will still iinger q rect and constant memory, M
chilled by time. d. not mourn AZ those without
hope; for SIZE died a Christian, and often during

her absent and sorror!ng mother-to know that
her darling child, who has just passed from this
world Of hin ana sorrow, Is now a bright and shin

She died as she had lived loving and beloved
She has gone the grave in the bliss of her bloom
Where inbeauty shs calmly repOses;
and the Angel Of Death, ss he bent DER her tomb
Dropped tear On her cheeks lovely roses.
'Tis ever thus. In LIES sunshine or shade,
When In life we too gaily have started,
We find that the fsireSt most early do fads,
and tue dearest are soonest departed.
Blu. though her fair head Ii pillowed upon the cold
rod,
AMI her young heart 10 silence reposes.
Yet sue dwels 10 the beautiful garden of God,
The fsirest among Heavens roses
