Among the many bright, noble spirits called from

faiF promise and noble manhood, 4" .
Oh. mother heart. that cannot. cannot rest,
Oh mother arms, that ache with emutness;
Oh. eyes, that Toasted on his manly face,
Now blind and darkened with sore distress.
We never dreamed that he could slip away
From out the grasp Of so much love and hope
eaye Us TO darkness, with no light of day,
To toll T1thprt him up Lies rEggea sloAe.
II 1t be sin to want him back again.
Grudge heaven itself his dear presence there,
We ask forgiveness, for our sin is great,
And only lightenS with dark despair.

1t is 4 sad thing to record the death OF one we
loved well, and yet such is life in the hands of
our Father, who dOeth all things we'll. Mary was a
true friend, plain and unassuming in her manners
and sucn was her christian character that to know
her was to love her. Her death was a Triumphant
one calling always her Savior for help when her
sufferings were greatest. When the angel of sum-
mons came with Its call; she passed from earth to
heaven.
She has gone TO heaven before u.s.
But she turns and waves her hand,
Pointing to the glories DER us,
In that happy spiritland
From her mild disposition and exemplary depot
ment che had a place In the affections of all who
knew her. she ig safely IaoOred to- the bright
spritland, where lovely SeraphS her associates
Our grief eulOgy cannot reach her now, but her
counsel we can keep, while her memory Will long be
green in the hearts of those who loved her.
Shes gone in her beauty,
In silence to rest,
Like snOWdrOps we fClded
" Her hands on her breast.
She lies like statue
OF some Grecian arr,
With cheeks that are paid,
And a cold huShed heart.
