Died at Memphis Tenn, Of congestiye
fever, on Saturday. May 21st, 1854, CARO-
LINE NICHOLS, daughter of Gen. RALrH p.
and CHARLOTTE BUcKLAND, aged 10 years and
months
Six weeks ago in good health and buoyant
spirit, in company with her mother and little
brother, she left us on visit to her father, who
is in command of the District of Memphis
The allotted time of their stay having expired,
they expected to start for home on Tuesday,
the oath. On Thursday preceding the day
appointed, she was taken with achill followed
by fever, confining her to bed, but not particu-
lsrly alarming to physician or friends. On
Saturday her disease suddenly assumed q more
dangerous aspect and soon thereafter no hope
of her recovery remained. A few more hours
and the spirit of our loved CARRIE had left its
tenement of clay, and it remained only for the
bereaved parents, to send to the expectant
friends at home the sad tidings-''she is dead"
On the next evening CSabbath) after appro-
pirate religious exercises at the house, her re-
mains were escorted to the boat by the I'D
Ohio Regiment (Gen. Buckland's old Regi-
ment) by its own special requests gratefully
appreciated exhibition of respect and sympa-
thy sf.fe 4a a4ss5as4s5
Her remains, accompanied by her father,
mother, little brother, and her cousin, Captain
HENRY BUCKLASD arrived at Fremont on
Wednesday of last week, in the noon train
The funeral services, conducted by the Rev.
Mr. PHEIPs, of the Episcopal Church, were
held the same evening at 5 o clock
And now dear CAKaIE sleeps to wake no
more on earth. IN Oak Wood Cemetery--the
Southern flowers encircling her brow and COW
ering her form as they were placed by the
hands of the, stranger-friends who kindly
watched over her in her sickness, and mingled
their tears with the bereaved parents where she
died, and who, in the hour of its affection, sent
grateful offerings to the wounded heart, and
beautiful tributes to the memory of our young
friend and of which am permitted to hand to
you with this notice of her death, the following
lines, written by one, who, speaking in the Ian
guage ofthe gifted poetess beautifully express
es the emotion of a Christian mothers heart.

The death-angel whispered-our darling has
A pet from our household lies low with the
dead, y - ss-sE 5sssL2t -
From the bosom Of angels her bright form was
given
To cheer for a season-then point us to heaven.
Must it ever be thus2 must the beautiful die?
Must the joys we most prize be soonest to fly?
The spirit grows mournful-the sorrowing

Cries-''Where shalltne weary-worn spirit find
But list to the answer that comes from above
'Tis whispered by angels whose mission is love;
peace, peace, child Of earth, for the chastning

Is held by thy Father, and He is thy God"
Then hush thee, sad spirit! thy murmuring

Shall point thee to happiness, glory and God.
We shall mourn thee! sweet birding Of hap
pier skies,
And the hearts heavy moaning win sometimes
arise;
But away in the spirit land whisper the blest,
And tell US, our angel is safely at rest.
Bitter tears may embalm the moss-covered
tomb
Dark hours may hang DER US in sadness and
But again shall we meet thee when Iife's work
And death shall not claim thee-or child

Then sleep, darling sleep, it is well with thee
now.
Bright garlands of victory entwine thy fair
brow,
Fol, Jesus, our Saviour, the promise hath given,
And toldus ''of such is the kingdom ofheaYen."
