IN MEMORIAM.

Coca tribute OF affectionate remembrance
to LUCIE STAINBACK, wife of my brother, LIE
win COe, who died near Somerville on the 9TH
inst. Mine be the Melancholy task to offer
this tribute at the shrine OF her worth and eT-
cellence.
sweet, gentle, darling sister Lucie, how little
did I dream when last l pressed you to my
heart, so full Of life, of health, OF grace and
beauty, thai cruel Fate 50 soon would snatch
you from our arms, and cOusign you 10 the
envious tomb! God only knows how dear you
had become to Us. Your loving heart and
gracious demeanor made you an ever welcome
guest at every hearth stone, and the Hight and
ornament of every circle where virtue and
amiab lily held sway. Yet, ruthless Death !
YOU stern, cruel fat marked her as your vic
tim, and she, cur household pet, our tenderest,
fairest blossom has persisted in your ley grasp.
Alas thai one so gifted and so lovely should
so early be called a~Way-iust when a husbands
love was deepest, and the joys OF maternity
were so new and sweet The Angel OF Death
hath oflate knocked often at our door, and our
hearts'are bowed beneath his heavy blows.
Ny poor brothers. heart is filled with anguish
vast and deep; his home is joyless now, and
where hearts once were light and smiles were
bright, but one is left to mourn. Our Father in
Heaven, pity him, g~armented with grief and
girded with gloom! Shorn of his most precious
treasure. his heart has only place for tears; his
hopes lie buriei in the dust. In this sudden
and drear eclipse he sees 40 promise of to-
moIrOw's sun. In whOms save thou our Father,
shall ne truste Amidst the desOlation Death
hath wrought he kneels with sad and subdued
heart, and prays, FEATHER, thy will be done"
Farewell, dear angel sister : he who loved thee
best nov keeps lone vigils near thee, thou ST.
lent brfdsof death! But in the depths OF my
ahfiction for our common loss, let me not for
get the bereaved parents and family OF our
loued and lost. A few brief months since she
came to US the happy bride OF our brother; we
ner to our hearts and shared with her the
love and hopes we cherished for our fathers
eldest son. II tce 50 loUed and regret ner, what
must be the overwhelming g1ief now weighing
down their hearts? She, who was their house
hold treasure, the family pride, the sunbeam
gladdened their path, now lies buried be-
meath her natal ssd, like a bhghted flower too
early severed from the parent stem, wherein it
grew and hourished in all the glory and beauty
OF Its morning freshness,
As a bird to its sheltering nest,
When the storm N the hills is abroad,
LO, her spirit has hOwn from this
World OF unrest,
To reposeo on the bosom of God.
Farewell, sister Lueie, dearest, precious one,
Though the garments OF flesh no
longer bin you TO earth, yet, your memory
sha ever be eushrined in our hearts!
When marble wears away
And monuments are dust,
The love that guards our Lueie's clay,
Shall still discharge It's trust,
Memphis, August 81.
