ssThe Graves are Ready
for Me.''

Laura Eugenie Willis, departed this life,
Tuesday morning, at half-past seven, Feb.
9th, 1875. As wife and neither her highssi
enjoyment was in the sacred precincts Of the
home circle, and in the untiring and faithful
discharge of every domestic duty. Of retir-
ing and unobtrusiye nature, the many vir-
tues and graces of character which adorned
her life are best known to her own family
and imme .iate friends. Her self-sacri6cing
spirit displayed itself in the tenderness and
devotion with which she watched over and
ministsred to her precious little ones in their
hours Of danger. The angel of death marked
the faithful wife and devoted mother for its
own. Disease triumphed over youthful vigor.
Physicians skill was Of no avail. Prayers Of
beloved ones could not save her. Death had
and burning, and preparation complete for
an entrance within the gates ajar. The
watchers by the death-bed were cheered BY
knowledge Of everlasting gain for the loved
one in the mansions of eternal rest. A bright
light has gone out forever. Darkness has
fallen on that once happy home. Her hus-
band has buried his treasure in the dreary
tomb, but "He that Believeth in Me shall
never Die" When scarcely able to speak
she raised her hand and said, 81 am happy
and will soon be with Jesus" We wept as
though we wept not, because Of our comfort
ing assurance that the beloved one did sleep
in Jesus, in the sure and certain hope of q
glorious resurrection We committed her to
the faithful bosom Of earth the mortal part of
follower of the Lord. The memory of eur
departed, in faith and hope, is precious and
pleasant, but the home is despoiled of its
greatest ornament, and the once happy family
now plunged in grief. But ''there ariseth
light in the darkness" The strains of mourn
full lament, instead Of sinking into the low
gloomy wall Of dependency, swells into notes
Of praise. "Blessed are the dead, who die in
the Lord
"Ths chord that bound the sacred tie is
broken,
That vow ''til DEATH" in loving accents
spoken,
Is now redeemed, and stiffness reirns with
me.
Husband. farewell q long farewell to thee
No more upon thy fond endearment resting !;
No more thy love in heartfelt anguish testing :
The spirit fees above and earth has claims for
me.
Mother, farewell, long farewell to thee:
The early joys, those days of hope and plea
sure;
Our parents smiles we e'er enjoyed together,
AL vanish now as earth recedes from view.
Brothers, farewell, long farewell to you:
Holy the ties that linked each sisters heart !;
Solemn the voice that sewers them apart;
The spirit yields in love, has Heaven now in
view;
Sisters, farewell long farewell to you.
Life's scenes and all that's dear to me below,
bid farewell and long with thee to 60,
To taste Of Heavenly joys and there thy glory
see,
Her spirit takes its lasting fight above,
Is gone to realms of pleasure, bliss and love,
With seraph bright to sing the song of praise,
And bless the Lord for his redeeming grace.
