Miss Rosa Pease, aged IS years, died
on Saturday morning. She had been
gradually failing in health for some
time, and her case baffled the skill of
four or five of the best physicians.
Upon post norton examination, by
her request, it was found that death
resulted from the. displacement of the
heart and liver. The funeral took
place in the Methodist church on Sun
day, at three o'clock, and was largely
attended. The casket was covered
with flowers, wrought in pretty de-
vices, and at the head was placed a
lovely white cross formed Of pond
lilies, and other delicate white bios
SONS. These floral tributes had a
language of their own, speaking cheer
and comfort to the bereaved, and were
also fragrant with honor and esteem
to the departed. Our young friend
had loveable disposition, associated
with bright mental powers. To know
her was to love her. But too frail fol-
earth she
/ Had laid the fieshly garment down,
/ By earth so little s0iled
To wear bright immortal robe,
All pure and indebted.
