In this city, on the evening of the 27th inst
AGNES WOOD, only child of Robert NJ and
Mary Houston, aged years and months
Little AGNES is no morei She who, like a sun
peam IN the house, made home redolent with
happiness, has passed away, leaving an aching
void in hearts whose tenderest feelings OF at
lection had clustered around her. She was so
gentle, SO amiable and SO lovely, that there
were none even, who passed her on the street,
but had kind look and loving word for little
so free from sin, could fall victim to the great
destroyer; but the ways of Providence are in
scrusable, and the solitary lamb that nestled in
our bosom has been gathered into the fold by
the Sheperd OF the flock. While sympatiz re
most deeply with those who have lost tileir
the sympathy of friends IS precious, yet there is
Dut one source, and only one, where the At
fieted can tind consolation.
May that God who doeth all things well give
peace to their broken hearts, and may thev
hnd comfort also in the assurance that the little
patient thing, that never murmured during her
fatal illness, is not dead, but transplanted to a
brighter world, for
''There is nc death. The stars 90 down
To rise upon some tairer shore,
And bright i'll Heavens jeWelled crown
They shine for cVermOre.
"T1ere is no death. An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread
And bears our best-lOved things away
And then we call them dead.
"But ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread
For all the bOudless universe
Is lfe-therc IS nO dead.

Fell asleep on Saturday evening, July 27tH
JAMIE OUNCE, aged 10 years and months.
1.-TWO little feet grew weary,
One sultry summers day,
And we tied them with snow-wllite ribbons
Leaving them by the way;
There was fresh clay on the door step
That starry summer night,
For loving feet had tracked it,
From this grave on the bright hills height. -
Little jamie is no mOrei Closed forever tl.s.
sweet eyes that were wont, like April, to smile
even through tears-tOIded the white hand,
upon tho snowy bosom and silent the loving
lips. A sweet-engaging, yea, ca pleasant
chlo' was tlle llCtie one whose death is here
recorded Ever ready and willing, she never
fingered for q second bidding, but SrraIg witlt
affections warmth to obey the call Of love
lIer many little loving ways will long he re-
menbered by all who were intimate with hor
child-life, but by none more than they who have
Tor years daily led her youthful mind TO drink
at the stream of knowledge.
God bless the stricken mother! She has
yielded up precious child, but lie Il L. prem
lsed aII Angel in return!
''Isit Thy will.
My Father, say, must this pet lamb he given
Oh Thou hast many such, dear LORD, III
Heaven"
But "a :soft voice said: ..Yoar lamb. your ;I4a4-
child.
Peace, be s.ili -
