On the 9Th instant in Staupton, oyster, son

Sad and silent is the household
Cold in death our darling lies
He has left an earthly mansion
For mansion in the skies.
Died near Stanton, Va, at the residence of
her husband on August 1st, 1872, Mrs; JULIA
A. BELL, wife of Capt. Robert .: Bell, IN the
| 18th year of her age.
| Thus has another beloved one been removed
| from the CnamD6rS OF lllo 10 the CuamD0rS Ol
death; another eye closed; another loved voice
hushed and another hand that lninistered so
tenderly to the comforts of others palsied and
cold in the silent grave Yet "eyen SO, Father,
| for so it seemeth good in Thy sight" Wewoul6
not wish Julia with again. We would not
bring her back to the sorrows and disquietudes
of earth, nor take from her that ''peace which
passets al understanding" We would not rob
her of those heavenly joys, which eye hath not
seen. nor ear heard,1 nor recall her from the
presence of Him by whose blood she was par
doned, by whose grace she was saved, and by
whose mercy she has been removed from the
wilderness of earth, to be made IAN heir Of God
and Joint heir with Christ to an herltance that
is incorruptible and undefled, and that fadeth
not away" And yet, even though her life of
piety, gives US the sweet assurance that she has
indeed been transported to happier home be-
yond the skies, we weep TO lose iier, ana mourn
that this young wife of but short month should
so soon have been taken from the arms of d low
ing husband Just too, when life seemed so bright
and beautiful-heP cup Of earthly happiness so
so full and sweet. But ''Ho doeth all things
well.n and may her bereaved husband know
That It is to lave to One'who is better and SUI
the Friend who never wearies, never fails and
never dies-"Jesus Christine same yesterday,
to-day and forever'-and opening wide his quiv-
ering, bleeding heart, may He bid Him enter,
that With the oil and wine of His sympathy and
love- He may heal the wounds which He has
made.
By the side of this young mother-never per-
mitted to know the joys of motherhood-lies q
little flower which, too frail and delicate to bloom
on earth, has been transplanted by a Fathers
hand to the fairer, SUMMER fields of Eden-early
taken to the bosom of Him who has said Suffer
the little ones to come unto me, for of such is the
kingdom of God" N.
