which had been the scene of her sufferngs
and her triumph, and were encased in
rich casket, with elaborate silver mount
ings. AT the head was an elegant crown of
white flowers, and on the foot was large
anchor of the same material; beautiful
cmblems of the hope which had truly been
"an anchor to her SOUL" and of the glory
reserved by the Father for all who finish
their course and keep their faith to the end
There were also cross and harp, significant
of the rejoicing made perfect through suf-
fering. Around her we're her sons, who
had been her just Joy and pride, the husband
whose faithful and sympathizing confidant
she had ever been; the daughters whom
she had cherished with a tenderness and
care almost beyond that prompted by even
maternal love; the children-in-law whom
she cordially received into her confidence
and Affections the grandchildren whom
she seemed to regard as her own children
growing up once more from infancy, and
the relatives in whom she had always
inspired the warmest respect and esteem.
The audience Of neighbors and friends
filled the parlors and large hall. Itseemed
perfectly fitting that her funeral services
should be held in what Rev. Mr.. Haynes
very appropriately called "a home temple"
consecrated as it was by the purest human

The Rev. Edwin NJ. Haynes opened the
services with an invocation and reading of
scriptural selections The portions read
were the 18th chapter of the Gospel by
John, and the 21st chapter Of Revelations.
Mr.. Haynes followed with some remarks
suggested by the text, "Bessed are the
dead who die in the Lord" He said that
whatever our emotions or their causes they
found most perfect and fitting expression
in the language of Scripture. Many pas
sages had occurred to him as appropriate,
but the one selected seemed to be more
comprehensive than the others, and to en-
body more fully what might be said OF her
life. He then referred very happily to the
works she had wrought and to the manner
in which they would follow, or in other
words, survive Ter. This tribute was very
discriminating aud touching, and his adj
dress to the bereavcd ones very consolatory
and encouraging.
Mr.. Lawrence Barnes, Of Burlington,
followed with some personal "reminiscences,
showing how, on many occasions she had
spoken for the truth with power, and re-
ferred particularly to a conversation in a
hotel paror at Ottawa on certain Sunday.
and of the impression made by it upon the
stout business men and all who heard it.
Mr.. Barnes spoke with much feeling, and
his remarks went to the hearts or sympath
les of all present.
The Rev DR.. Gillette, of New York.
closed the exercises. He referred to his
own knowledge of the character of the
deceased. founded on personal acquaintance
with her and her family. He alluded to
the death of the patriarchs wife and to the
circumstances of her burial, and all felt the
exceeding appropriateness of the allusion
and the comparison. The Doctors sum-
mary of her life work and OF the prnci-
pies on which it was based was very excel
lent and his remarks very comforting. His
prayer was just what one wanted said, and
was perfect conclusion of most interest
ing exercises.
Opportunity was now given to those
present to Wow the remains The face was
emacated, but the expression was one of
placid peace. 1t resembled very much that
of portrait of her, painted number of
years ago. The body was taken in charge
by her four sons, assisted by her son-in-law
and nephew, and her physician, DR.. Alfred
j. Long, who had attended her through her
long sickness with the care and devotion of
a son, and escorted by them to the tomb,
followed by long procession of friends in
their carriages, of which there were upwards
of one hundred and twenty-five. The site
of the tomb was a rocky mound in the field
east of that in which the mansion stands,
and distant perhaps 100 rods. The tomb
itself was eXcavated down to and out of
| the solid rock, the sides of which were
walled up with brick laid in cement, as far
up as the top of the box containing the
coffin. The box itself was covered with
two large marble slaps, laid in cement on
the brick wall, so the tomb is of stone and
brick and marble, and wholly impervious
to moisture. As the benedction was pro-
nounced the clouds rolled away, the sun
broke forth in full splendor, and glory
shone around rs if the body had already
burst the bounds of the tomb, and had
arrayed itself in Immortality IL was n
realization OF the prophecy AT evening
time it shall be light"
In this beautiful spot all that is mortal
of Mrs. Cooke is laid away for its long re-
pose. Around her will in coming years.
be laid husband and children. and children's
children, as they were laid by Sarah in the
field of Machpelah. On the rocky mound
the changing light of morning and of even
Jag will play and gid it with their glory.
Over the tomb will rise a memorial chapel
of marble to mark for many generations
the place where her dust is deposited But
| at last the trumpet shall sound, ana the
joyous signal of the first resurrection be
given. She has rested from her work only
to await the ''second coming of the Lord. ~
'All that tells that gold is dross.
| All that tells the world is loss
Death and darkness and the tomb,
| only whisper 9TH lie come"
