IF cruol traitors, engaged in the most unjust
and uaprovoked rebellion that has ever COW

tho message came, and in obedience TO its
FpmmonS this gentle spirit took It's thght
aulid the noise and smoke of battle, Yet
~ho can doubt that its exit Was calm aud
peaceful ,saHd though we sorrow not a.
thoae who have no hope-and though il
becomes Rs to bow in meek Submission to
HIS yrill,who&doeth all things according to
His own purpose and wcll--yet the tears Of
sorrow and Of pain are oitimes trickling
down.our checks because Of the absent one
far We know that here on earth we shall
never see his face Far away from friends
and hano, wrapped in his blanket he lies,
the cold sweat of death eneircliug his brow
the sparklingeye now glazed and expression
less, and the voice, once 50 musical, now 81
lent ia the grave And because of these
things sorrow takes hold OF us and pain,
which has we'll nigh or4rwh,lulol us, be-
cause Of the untimey end Of him for whom
we mourn. For surely We had thoughts
within ourselves, this same shall comfort us
indays to come--with his presence going in
and out before, and walking in the paths
our fathers trod, we should wander on thro'
life's lreary maze until our feet had landed
safe within the limits of the celestial city,
AMI hand in hand We should walk the streets
Of the new Jerusalem, and with the re-
deemed spirits there help swell the glorious
anthems of praise unto him who washed us
from our sins in his own blood: ascribing the
honor and glory of our salvation unto Him
who sitteth upon the Throne, and unto the
Lamb forever and ever, But now, alas, no
more shall the sound of his footsteps awaken
anecho within the walls of home. No more
shsilwe hear the sound of his voice ming
lidg tn ours in singing the songs of Zion
which ohoe he loved to sing And though
we look t;5r him till our eyes grow weary Of
watching when the shadows Of the evening
a1e stretched out yet never more shall he
gotaate ~ again Dark and mysterious
ottentincs are God ways Of dealing with
ii people, yet doubtless lie doeth all things
vel, anlwe shall know hereafter that it
vas kindly and wisely done. But yet, tbs
hard to part with those welove, even though
we know we shall one day meet again in
realms Of JOY aud pure delight, where those
who meet shall part no more. And thus
We tru,tit was with thee, o thou dear de-
parted one for whom We now IL Ourn that
though thou vast cut off in the morning
of lifo. that it is now well with thee-that
thon art gone to be, forever with the Lord.
And now, beloved one, farewell No more
shall vt see thy face again upon Garth, but
trust that we shall one day meet again in
that bright world where wars AMI rumors OF
vars shall no more disturb the repose of its
blood bought Inhabitants Farewell, then
for season, Rebel bullets may sever the
cords which bind body and soul together,
tut they cannot dissolve the union existing
he;wcenthca and thy Saviour. The worms
Of the valley may consume the clay tabsrna
c'c which here awhile contained thy immor:
tai spirit but they cannot wipe out the
thoughts of thee from the tablets Of mem,
Dry that thou should st no more be renlem
hercd by us, or thy many virtues be forgot
tn Thy body may he consigned to the
grave and return to its kindred dust again
but IT'S net possible that thou shouldst b.
holden of the cords of death--tnr jesus hal
burst the bars OF death and triumphel Owe
the grave, aud upon, the resurrection morn i
shallscome forth from the grave and deatl
shall have no, more dominion over thee. :
Thou art gone from our presence but no
from'our memory. Sooner than we has
taouibnen removed from world Of sin, o
suffering, Of anguish of spirit, aud of cFue
strii.t--9f bloody wars where the grim mon
s;cr h5lds high cnrniyal; rioting among th
horrible paaphenala Of battle, she groan:
of the wounded and dying the bleedin,
limbs and ,ghastly eorpsos of man gled sol
diers, srnitrGn down to crafty the insatiabl
ambition ofsome depraved monsters ofwiek
edness-~ But thou art not lost, not lost
best thought; but gone before to that brigh
world where we shall meet to part no more
May God ,in His infinite mercy grant unit
us to b, faithful unto DEATH that we, too
may receive crown of life, and be foun
in peace with Him at his coming,
