1t is only another link,
That is broken out of the chain
The close of short little life
Of WEAKNESS, toll and of pain.
Only another sweet little form,
We have laid in the grave to rest
Its troubles all o'er@Tis safe
Secure in the Savior's breast
By faith we may look far beyond
70 mansions Of peace, and of love
On earth the chains that severed,
Our Father unites them above.
Grieve not for the little ones gone.
Since sure are the promises given;
lie said, and We trust in His word:
"Of such is the kingdom of Heaven"
Safe, safe. from the storms that may come,
Your little ones safe on the shore,
In robes that spotiess and white,
They will praise and will sing ever more

MICHAEL G. KERsHNER departed this life, at
Springs Augusta county, Feb. 10Th, 1873 after
a protracted illness of four months, aged sixty
seven years, month and rs days.
The subject of this notice was a consistent
member OF the Presbyterian church for thirty
five years. Though not loud professor of re-
ligion, yet he adorned the doctrine of his church
BY frequent seasons of private devotion; by up
rightness and chastity He was not endowed
with the gift of public prayer, but his exempla-
ry christian life speaks more for his religious
S.i'i dCtoi CIau PuDiiS pihJci CouiO UOhO
The Father, to whom ne often prayed in secret
rewarded him in public and enabled him, when
passing through the surging waters of death. to
say, II am going home to Jesus" His suffer-
ings were intense. and often produced great anx-
iety Ito depart and be with Christ" He was
frequently heard to excaim 'How long will it
be till Jesus comes" and then admonsh his
family TO live peaceably on earth and meet him
in heaven. Thus he triumphantly fell asleep in
Jesus. His funeral was preached, and his re-
mains committed to their last resting place by
Rev William NJ. Hiner, OF the M. e. Church
South, from Numbers 23rd Chapter, 10Th verse:
Let me die the death of the righteous, and let
my last end be like his'
In his death the church has lost an excellent
member; the community valuable citizen; the
wife kind husband, aid the children devoted
father. But our loss is his infinite gain.
Is not cen death gain to those
Who slumber IN the Lord
Gladly to earth they close their eyes,
But open them in heaven.
