OF Elizabeth nj. A. DeHaven.
Blest be thy mem'ry, mother ar,
Tho numbered with the dead,
Yet in our hearts thou still shalt live
BY words that thou hast said.
You taught our little prattling tongues
To lisp Gods name in prayer,
With folded hands b.side your knee
Implore our Fathers care.
When we upon sick bed laid,
Who smoothed our fevered brow?
When tossed were we and racked with pain
Then none so dear as thou.
Upon eartl's scenes thy eyes are closed,
And thou ait goi e % rest,
Thy spirit is in heaven now
To dwell among the blest.
Farewe 10 all dear friends below,
The Master bids me come,
Forever to dwell with H m
Ia that celestial home
How sweet 10 know no cloud, no Fear,
Upon her brow was cast,
In DEATHS dark vale she sweeily sang
And onward quickly passed.
The chr;stiqn's death is but s,cop
Until the trumpet's sound
Shall bring 10 Judgment all that be
Within dcatlfs prison bound.
Take comfort, weeping friends, from when
True comfcrt can be given,
Although wehaye one SIS on earth
There il one more in heaven.
! is hut loving Fathers lani,
He doeth all thirgs Wei,
The love lie bears His children hare
Eternity can tell.
Another year has swiftly flown,
lis numbered with the past, !,
ri en- let us live the christians life,
His death we'll die at last. -

n Two men were hanged
by the neck until they were dead
in Pennsylvania last week, be-
cause the reprieve came half a
minute too late. Wouldn't it
be well to hang men a little la
ter or send the repricvcs a little
earlier? 1t may not matter much
to the general public, but to the
small portion Of the public that
are hanged, and to their families,
it makes a difference.
