his death casts gloomy shadow over our
entire community, to see our young friend
cut down in the bloom of youth and in the
prime Of ealth. But such are the DEGREES
Of natnre and we must be Submissive, for
all things are fleeing and pass away each

writing home TO the father OF the deceased,

plore his loss, for in the company he was
loved and admired! He was always ready

arduous the task, aud for him we mourn !"

is broken, one flower is dead, one leaf has
left their tres, one chord ir the music gone,

coulc tears or prayers have bound him
here he had not passed away; could love
have bound him to earth he had been theirs
To-day; bat tears and prayers aud love
were vain the messenger 10 stay.
And he has passed the shadowy portal;
He has borne the mortal strife;
He has left this world OF sorrow
For world OF heavenly life.
And our hearts are grieving for thee,
Grieving with inlensest pain,
Grleyinc that we shall not zee thee
Oar soldier boy, here again.
Binding tears are meath our eyelids:
Every lash contains a lear;
And our hearts are wei with weeping
Weeping for ihee, Milton dsar
