What Notwithstanding history iii one sentence! A
devoted husband has lost a loving wife. widowed
mother her almost iiozed daughter, the Methodist
Church promising member, her friends generous,
cheerful. genial companion, and society 1T large u
sweet. blooming flower that gladdcned the eye and
chccrcd the heart. SO lately moving among us,
swcety conscious oc the many pure draughts an in
noccnt life held out, lingering illness warned us
that her buds of promise must bloom in Heaven !:
but swiftly the shining angel came closed her soft
1ondly believe trlumphantly "bore her over the
shining way No trace of pain marred the marble
like rc1nSe of her countcnlncc: but she lay like one
who Sicepeth long and WE'LL her waxen fingers fold
ed over her pulSelcss breast.
Hor drcanlcss sleep an aspect wore
But rarely seen i'll death before.
I'm snowy garments, like a bride
Dcckcd for the bridegroom ere she died,
She seemed from earthly faint set free,
Made pure and white, oh God for thee.
Grant thai her sweet spirit may be the medium of
consolation to our hearts, SO bruised so crushed.
Let faith, that hcavcn-dcscended boon, span the
grave with the rainbow promise OF the cloudlcss
morrow of eternal bliss. Grant that the carly death
Of his precious wife may bring eternal life to the soul
of the husband-may he know that death has but
lifted the cross from the form beloved wheth the Lord
Of glory placed upon that pale brow crown that
fadeth not away. May mother, sister, and brothers
cling closer to the that they may stand spotess
shore the darling young sister they laid so mourniuy
away earth. All OF her labors, hcartachcS, ana
blossom to bloom again, and grow to more perfect
holiness in the fields Of God: but her many kind
words, looks, and deeds are garncrcd IN the menory
of the holy affections of her home halowcd secrets
Of the bcreaved stretching up into eternity and
linking them in purposes and destinies with her
loving spirit, now deiticl and best
She sleeps within her owly grave
Where springs luxuriant blossoms wave.
For summers reign Is nigh;
The solitude around the tomb
Is beautiful rs Eden'S bloom
Ere beauty learned to die.
Her fairest and most fragrant flowers
Kind spring in bright prOfuSion showers
Upon that lovely spot,
Where the sick heart and weary head
Rest In their last, dark, narrow bed,
Forgetting but not forgot.
