Horace Clemmin Grisham.


A certain writer has said that " there is
but this difference between the death of
the old and the young the old go to death
aud death comes to the young" We see
the Truth Of this exemplifed almost every
day. The aged are going rapidly "tc that
bourne from whence no traveller has yet
returned" and death is coming at morn,
noon and at midnight, aud bearing those
early flowers to the garden of the Lord, in
Paradise above.
Ga Sunday morning, the l9,h Of July,
1863, HORACE CLEMMTT, infant son Of Hon.
Geo. E. Gri>ham and Maggie Jane, his wife,
departtd this lie, aged Tour months and six
days.
He had a severe attack Of cholera infdn-
tim, and after suffering tor two weeks, his
pure and Spotless spirit took its flight, and
LOW dwels in the realms "f the bless, The
sorrOwiDg parents eau truly say, in the Lam
guags of The poets
Just as the morning sun arose,
To kiss his brow with golden ray,
An angel came enroOed IN light,
Aud bore our precious one away;
And though We mourn with human love,
And U'er the flowers OF memory weep,
We strive to look above, and say
God giveth bis beloved sleep"

touiu can fully appreciate how very hard it
is To part with q child at any period OF its
| existence, "be il brief ur pTotracted,' but
the loss OF One 3, beautiful AMI interesting
is sad indeed. L. IS ineSpressibiy hard to
yield "to the icy embrace Of death f" a
child so lovely and promising. The music
OF that infant voice, AMI the bright smile of
| that radiant face Will be seen aud heard no
more in the home of the sorrow-stricken par
enls but with an eye of faith they can view
their lovely babe now safe aud secure from
all the, SORROWS and Ills oc tLis mortal life,
and companion of the angelic host above.
The thought is comforting To- the parents,
| that although you will never see your sweet
babe ogin heie upon earth, n,r be cheered by
that bright cobntenance, yet you are as
sured by Holy writ that in yonr Fathers
/ Home, where a mansion has been prepared
\ for him, you can % aud embrace him again,
AID with all Your loved ones sou can spend a
| blessed eternity together, where the wicked
| cease to trouble aud where the, weary are
| forever at rest. We trust that the bereaved
| parents can say
Farewell, sweet one, in Heaven where
thou art striving now,
| We know that sins aud sorrows are banishcd
| from NY bIpNs
| Who hath taken thee, our darling, TO Iii,

| We give ia b3ck TO Heaven, our pure ant
gentle Que,
Thy sands Of he are numbered, thy baby

And thou art joining now the anthems o.
the hlest,
In yon bright world Of glory, the land Of
peace aud rest"

bereavement, have the prayers aud sym

A few weeks ago many friends met at The
parents Pile SAINT residence to congratulate
them, aud TO rejuice with item; these SAM
friends now mourn and weep with them, anC
and pray God that in his initiate mercy liz
would comfort and support them, givinl
