No. 40, U. +. OF T.,
Alexandria August 18th, 1873
At called meeting of the United
Friends of Temperance, the following
Preamble and Resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Almighty
God in his good providence, to take
out of this world, and from our midst,
our deceased Sister, Miss NE1IIE MARSH,
therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED, That while we bow
submissively to the will of God, "who
doeth all things best" in the exercise of
his Omnipotent will, we deeply feel and
deplore our loss in the death of our we'll
beloved Sister.
That in this hour of our sad bereave-
men it affords us consolation to remem-
Der her many virtues, and to know that
she was faithful and true In every de-
partment of life which was allotted her;
as a daughter, dutiful-as sister, kind
and gentle.
That in her daily life, she illustrated
the principles of our order, and by her
kindness and consideration towards her
associates, adorned and beautitied our
order on its way and in it's work of re-
formation. ~
That we tender to her bereaved FAM
lily our sincere and heartfelt coincidence,
and pray that God may comfort them,
in this, their hour of sad affection, and
that they may resign themselves to His
will, knowing that this, their loss, is
our dear SISTERS gain.
Be IT RESOLVED, That these resolu-
lions be spread on our minutes, and a
copy of the same be forwarded to our
deceased sisters family, and that the
members of this Council wear the usual
badge of mourning for thirty days.

In MEMORlAM.

Where are the flowers, the fair fresh
flowers,
That lately were blooming here,
Grazing with beauty and fragrance
bowers
Once to my heart SO dear?
Oh! where are the flowers, the beauti-
full flowers,
Of the happy days and vanished hours?
Alas unmindful of sunshine warm,
Or of flowers in richest bloom,
Shadows crept their slow length along,
Till darkness like that of the tomb
Enveloped the flowers, the beautiful
flowers,
Of the happy days and vanished hours.
I had dear little moss rose bud,
AS white as the driven snow,
Which loved, as | loved my own life's
blood
When scorching heat laid it low;
My dear little flower, my lost little
flower,
Of the happy days and vanished hours.
I know that the flowers of earth are
still fair,
But to think of them gives M pain,
When | know that my own in beauty
rare
shall sigh for ever in vain;
My beautiful flowers, my lost flowers,
Of the happy days.and vanished hours.
X low that each Spring fresh charms
will unfold,
That hedges are fair, and orchards
flushing,
| But of all the charms ever sung or told,
There are none that could vie with my
blushing;
Beautiful. brilliant rose, my lost rose,
Blighted and lost in eternal repose.
White was my lily, and stately and tall,
| And gentle my modest violet,
But like down from thistle the fatal
pail
Was waftcd-and I fret
Ceaselessly-for my beautiful flowers,
Of the happy days and vanished hours.
Then vas left only my graceful vine,
Me thought for declining years,
Around it my hearts best affections
twined,
1t tarried so-Alas bitter tears;
For it too were shed-my last flower!
Of the happy days and vanished hours
And now my gardens desolate place
Despoiled of all its treasures,
And the soft wind signs to find no trace
Of its lost and vanished pleasures;
The beautiful flowers, the fragrant
flowers,
Of the happy days and vanished hours
And my heart as it catches the mourn
| full strain,
The lesson of life is learning,
But it always echoes in sad refrain
Only passionate yearning;
For the beautiful flowers, the fair fresf
flowers,
OF the hanDy DAYS and vanished hours
