In Memoriam.

COLONEL P. V. O'NEILL

BY HELM II. BuRT
How mournfully around eur hearts
In memory of" now weayes
4 cypress wreath as life departs,
And naught but memory leaves.
All, can it be that thou art gone,
Our friend so tried and true,
That these sad words are alone
With tears sighed forth of thee:
How soon the turbid stream of life
From thee has turned for aye;
Its ebb, its flow of joy or grief,
Nor smile can wake nor sigh
For coldly in its ashes lies
Thy good and gifted heart.
No light upsprings to those dark eyes;
Death babe that light depart
Thy cheerful spirits sunnest ray,
On shaded paths was given
To show that if e'er &C turned astray,"
Its birth place was in Heaven!
For if fault thy record stained,
(And who of US have noneO
What voice censorious could have blamed
One spot upon thy sun?
From friendships jewelled wreath the pearl
Of clearest tint is shaken;
From homes sweet chain now broke at last
The brightest link is taken.
An only brother, only son,
Thy lone ones only " darling
How can they say Thy will be done,''
Nor faith and courage falter!
I ct as thine orphaned babes she clasps
Unto her heart so riven,
We pray from this sad vale she lifts
Her streaming eyes to Heaven,
And He who cen to lambs new-shorn
Each rough, cold winter e'er tempers,
To their bowed hearts where grief newborn,
With death-cold blast now enters,
Will bend from His bright throne above,
Who marks each sad tear fall,
And bind those broken hearts with love
Now wrapped in sorrows pail.
Above thy grave with out-spread wing,
Sweet charity will hover,
And every fault and every sin
Her star-gemmed veil will cover,
And shed that wells soft, mystic light
Around thy memory here;
Nor spot nor stain to leave in sight,
But gild our every tear!
With hope that tho life's broken rill.
From earth hath passed forever,
In Heaven with purer sunlight still,
1t gleameth radiant ever.
And that thy soul in worlds of bliss,
No more to turn astray;
Hath now joys unconcelved in this,
Unknown to hte's brief day.
Farewell dear friend within our hearts,
Thy monument erected,
Twned round with friendships tadeless flower
Shall never be neglected;
But as thy dust to aust returns
Within its bed so lowly,
Thy mem'ry's hight still brightly burns
With radiance pure and holy.
