the year 1904. There, on that beauti-
full Isle, was her maiden home, which
was frightened by the sweet smiles
that played on her rosy lips and beam
ed from her mild blue eyes. There
twenty-five years of her innocent life
was spent; years which united them
selves so as to constitute IL of the
three epochs of her life, when she gave
! her hand and heart to him in whose
home she has made a void and who
mourns bitterly her loss. Here, too,
she faithfully accomplished her task.
She was an industrious, careful and
loving wife; a gentle, tender and affec-
tionate mother. Fourteen little hearts
felt the effect of her tenderness and
love, and when death in his pitiless
visits, snatched from her bosom eight
of tie flowers she cared for so tenderly,
her grief for them was unbounded and
her tears many and bitter. But He
who has said ''Take up your cross and
follow Me- will gather these boquets
of sorrow mingled with flowers of joy
and bound by hands of love, to compose
the golden crown she will wear in
Heaven. @
