In Memoriam.
| DIED in Troy, New York. on the 10th inst, MAY,
wife Of Sydney w Beauclerck in the 10th year of her
age.
In the above lines which our hand sad
ly traces, we chronicle the loss of one
whom maDy of our readers knew and
loved while as Miss May Allen she was
here in our midst. But little more than
one short year ago the writer was one
who assembled at St. Luke's church
to witness her bridal and to wish her
happiness and God-speed in the new life
upon whose threshold she stepped from
the altar, so gladly and trustingly by his
side who was to be henceforth her pro.
tector and companion. And now, so
suddenly do our mortal footsteps turn
aside from life's pathway down into the
valley of the shadow. we are called upon
to bid her longer and sadder farewell
as she passes into that life beyond this
world, "where the wicked cease from
troubling and the weary are at rest"
Possessed of no ordinary attractions
both of mind and presence cultured and
refined; kind and generous to a fault,
and tempered in all things with a sweet
womanly gentleness, she made all her
friends dear ones, and had drawn around
her young life circle in which her loss
will be long and deeply felt, and whence
her vacant place-oh SO desolately emp.
ty- will be viewed through many q
tear drop of sorrowing affection. To hel
bereft husband and infant daughter, tt
her sister and brother, and those whc
, were most near to her, we reach out
hand of sympathy in their affection;
hand that has been proud and glad t.
clasp hers in friendship-and may the,
have strength to look up through tn
5 dark cloud of grief which hangs owe
5 them, and see at last its silver lining
