This young friend, whose death we have been
called 10 mourn, fell victim 10 disease which has
hurried 90 many In thu prime Of lite 10 the eos''
several weeks, was quite severe, and bis being
delicate the ravages Of the fever soon began I"
show its terrible effect, and defed the constant
efforts to arrest or the part Of his afiectionaie
took their suffering child from the parents who
lived him ns only father and mother can love-
These fond parents feel deeply the loss OF him
who ny his obedience had endcnsed himself not
only TO them, but to many friends who knew him.
We mourn, also, that one so promising should ~
the spring III life Oe cut down. and that the bright
homes Of his parents should SO soon be- overshad-
oved.
rhe parents Of our young friend have drank
deeply OF the cup Of sorro for whilst residing Ia
Norfolk during the yellow fever they lost two very
Interesting children. Besides the DEAN oI .lese
two there occurred also at the same time the death
Of a mother and brother Of Mr. w Barnes. Out
Of family Of six laid sick Of the fever four
died. Mrs Barnes did not contract this fever, ana
after the recovery Of her husband and son tue three
remaining members father, mother and son
moved to this city. Though coming as strangers
they soon found many friends, all OF whom sympa-
thize with these parents In the great loss hey
have sustained. May the good She pherd gather these
sOrrowing parents into his fold when THIS lfe WIN
all its troubles and sorrows, shall nave been ended
May they find In Heaven that union winch KNOWS
separation, Is the prayer of the writer OF this
feeble tribute 10 the memory Of our departed
friend.
"'1is hard to surrender
The friend, that we love,
Tho we hope soon to meet them
In mansions above.
TITS hard 70 part from them
Tho Heaven may call,
And to live here without them
Is harder than all.
" We weep for their absence,
But weepingis vain;
They are gone, and We never
May see them again.
On these dreary shores
Where we live but to part
From the tenderest friends
That are bound TO the heart.
" IT'S natural to weep,
For our comforts are riven;
But we hope, tho We weep,
We shall meet them in Heaven.
To weep and TO part,
And 10 sorrow no more,
For those we have loved
On this desolate sllore.''
