Ny dear little CHARLIE,
There's not o garden walk we read,
There's not q flower wo see,
But brings to mind some hope that.s nee,
Some joy that's gone with thee"
But Sos.
Gall that's bright must fade
The brightest still the .Heetest )
all that's sweet was made
But to be lost when sweetest"

Deep grief rests on these once happy house,

cd away. by the cruel hand of Death, to bloom in
Eternity. JENNIE, the gentle, and pure-hearted,
fs gone from us. Her voice is hushcd on Earth
oreyer. The place that knew her will know her
no more. Nothing can ill the aching void made
in tho now desolate home-eirole. Scarcely fifteen
years Of unclouded sunshine, las she trod MES
pathway, endearing herself to libby her many
beautiful traits Of character. Tho. world was
bright, before her and just advancing to woman
hood, she gave promise of being an ornament to
the little circle in whichshe moved. The faTorits
of her schoolmatos, she walked among them un-
conscious of the love they bore her. Long, long,
will her memory be dear to US. May He enable
the bereaved to say, "Thy will be done"
4Oh she was too fair and dear
For our troubled pathway here;
Haayen,-that was hor natural sphere.

ready and willing to discharge his duty. 1t is

q name and left an impression of his worth which
the lapse Of years could only have effaccd; but
he was cut down in the very. bloom of youth,
when tie qualities which characterized the man

It grie res tho writer to think hew inadequate

attempt is made to do justice to tho memory of
one so gifted, gallant and noble.
Helms left behind him, fond parents, an afec-
tomato sister and two youthful brothers, TO whom
We offer our sincere sympathies.
A short time previous to The departure Of his
Regiment from Virginia to go to Chattanooga, he
sent the accompanying farewell address to his
parents. whom no so dcyotedly loved, in which he
so tenderly tolls them that If it be Gods viii that
he shau,d fall in the defence of his country Ae vas
ready to make the sacrifice.
Farewell to thee father! although I am young,
T go the wars wild alarms,
Our country to save from oppression and wrong,
Or dig With my comrades in arms.
Farewell, father, dear. I may nsrer again
Fondly gaze on those locks thin and gray;
But if in the conflict Of battle I amtslain,
To meet thee in Heaven I pray.
Farewell to thee, mother! No love is ike thine,
So lasting, so deep and so pure;
And ] trust, through the goodness of Providence,
To rctarn to thy bosom secure.
Farewell mother, dear ! Il I die far way,
Thy Heart will be grieved for thy son,
But God will sustain thee, and causc thee to. say,
"Thy will, Righteous Father, be done"
Farewell to you, brothers too Dear little boys,
You know not tho meaning of foe;
May God make me strong in defence Of the cause,
And save You, my brothers, from voc.
Farewell, my dear brothers pc loving and good,
And mind what dear mother may say
Your brother will come back if best that he should,
For God can his enemies slay.
Farewell, sisor, dear 9ahcn I think OF the wrong,
The tends would inhict if they could,
I can scarcely refrain from %pclluting my tongue,
With q curse on the black-hearted brood.
: Farewell, my dear sister! may God Keep you puro,
Surrounded with comforts and friends
And blcst with the.grace that alone can secure,
The bliss that we know never ends.
Farewell to you all and my last it may BE,
But may God whom I reverence and fear,
TO q home that is blcst, inE land that is pure,
Bring safely tho young Volunteer,
