DIED,


1865. at W adesvilie, Va, MARY BRYS0N, eldest
daughter of Daniel Wade, Esq, in the l4th year OF
her age.
II IS not unusual on the part of bereaved friends
to exagerate the virtues of departed loved Ones
The knowledge of this tendency in biographers.
NAV well cast doubt on most of the panegerics OF
the day. But all who knew "Bricie Wade" will
readily accord the simple truth of the statement,
that she was child of rare excellences-that for
her age she had but few equals in those qualities OF
mind and heart which inspire satisfaction and hope
in the breasts OF anxious parents and admlrlng
friends Her mental eyCljpemcnts, as well as her
maturity of manners, were alwaysin advance of her
wears Ever a source of comfort to her parents and
! little brothers and sisters, she especially so;
when any Of the family were suffering afiiicton, 1t
was then that her patience, wachfnlness, thought
funcss and her cheerful participation in the duties
! and cares of her mother. were reT arkabiy appa-
! rent Ii was Just when the rig0rs 81 a long and
dreary winter had relaxed and joyful spring birds
we're returning with their happy songs, that the
earth received the mortal remains, and Heaven re-
called the untarnished spirit Of our little friend
OF such is the Kingdom of Heayea." J. W. X.

/ Parents and friends will gather there.
And oft their fears wilt fall,
For they who sleep in dseemless sleep
Was the favorite of them all.
Then bind choice of fragrant wreathes
OF flowers on their brows,
Their cheeks would vie their beauty once,
Where are the roses now.
And when the glorious setting sun
Has crimsoned all the west,
Let its departing glory fall
Upon their place of rest.
A Friend.

Shall break thy deep repose,.
Bright seraphs stood TO guard thy form
Till Gabriels trumpet blows.

To Heavens immortal bower,
Through all eternity TO bloom
A sweet and fadeless flower. ~
