IN MEMORIAM.
LINES ON THE DEATH OF MISS MARY WOLF.

daughter, a sister, and school-mate has gone,
From this fair world of surs forever to stay,
And now like c cloud that darkens the sun,
The shadows of sorrow have darkened our day.
Yet thesorrows we bear, though abidingand deep,
Face us as we think of her peaceful farewell,
For the brightest of hopes, like lamp to her feet,
Foreshadoweda future where now all is well.
SO we can but say farewell to Mary, who, unon
the 9th of February, left us alone in our home,
ard departed from earth. After the most patient
suffering, for eight months from consumption, she
at last told her friends that she must die and be
gone from among them, and accordingly made
the necessary preparations as one who goeth on
Journey On her mclement funeral day large
concourse of people assembled to pay their last
respects to the faded flower, and to show their
deep sympathy forthe bereaved parents. She was
becomingly encofined in beautiful casket and
inferred in the Wilmot Cemetery Her parents
have long resided here. Her father, DR.. Samuel
Wolf, is an aged practitioner in medicine,
who has witnessed the entry of death into
many of our family circles, and has the sad ap-
probation of the loss of dear and near daughter.
