IN MEMoRIAM,
Dedicated To Mrs G. Hooker and the love

IN MEMORlAM
Dedicated to Mrs G. r. Hooker, and the love
ones who passed before her into the Silent Land
The tireless fateful and remorseless years
Move their cycles with majestic tread.
unmndful Of our human griefs and tears.
And coldly leave weeping DER dead.
Truth, love and hope, that welcomed them so gladly,
Beneath the wrecks which mark their royal way
Lie deeply buried mournfully and sadly
We keep our line Of march, from day to day.
Out from ranks the bravest and dearest
Step. one by one and lay their armor down
To battle singly with the king Of terrors,"
And forevermore the
But oh how lonely their vacant places.
Those only know who mourn their dead in vain.
Their presence Fingers with MS. Their dear faces
Rise up before us. through the msts of pain.
We hear their voices sweetly, family calling
At hush Of night, and through each weary day.
still, as we journey on, our tears are falling,
Because they are not with us by the way"
Sickness and sorrow, death and desolation.
with now and then golden thread between.
Fill up our web Of life; but life immortal
L. cloth of gold with no dark threads between.
oh blessed ones not lost but gone before us,
To the fair mansions of our Fathers love,
Your ears have heard the sweet, angelic chorus
That welcomes mortals to their home above.
Your eyes have opened on that heavenly vision,
which love and peace In all their fullness give;
Your feet have entered In that land Elysian,
Where the redeemed eyerinore shall live.

Another VIcTM.-We regret to learn that
Miss Sarah S Mann, daughter of the late Isaac S
and Martha Mann, formerly of Plainfed was one
of the victims Of the late horrible railroad disaster
at Ashtabula, Ohio. She had been living in
Cleveland, Ohio, and went to Boston, Mass, to
visit friends, and while on her way home she met
the sad fate which awaited her. A bunch of
keys, belonging to her, was all that was found to
tell the tale. Her age was twenty-eight years,
three months and fourteen days.
