cousort of L. Z. White, in Der seventeenth
year.
Sad, sad inde-d, are the melancholy snr-
roundings of this stroke. Seven months
previous to her death she stood a blooming
bride at the Hym-nisl altar, with bright
hopes and anticipations for long aud hap
py life. The young husband who shared
those bop-s Of happiness aud love over the
journey If life with one 81 lovely, b-autiful
and good is ber-ft Of his greatest earthly
treasure. Being the first born Of her de
voted fathers family, she WAS truly MI idol,
and words fail me in attempting to de-
scribe the solid grief that hr"od- in utter
silence in the lacerstrd hearts If parents,
on The loss of loving grown children. She
embraced religion at an early asr and lived
MI Exemplary member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. She had timely pre-
innniton of her death. for she suffered and
lin .er-d long under the m,@t skillful treat
and rejoicing With her. She passed The
river Of death in triumph, begging the
! many friends who visited her not to grirvr,
hnt rather r,jnicr. for her Saw ior Was with
her. Then let us not mourn for her, lIrsv.
I'll has more attractions, but like David
prepare to meet her, for she cannot return
to MS.
| "Yrt IL remembrance of her virtues dear.
Yet fresh the mrinory of that b.autrous
face;
| Still they call forth affections tear.
Still in our hearts retain thrir wonted
place.
But whyfnre weep, her matchless spirit
| Beyond where shines the orb nf day,
Aud weeping angels lead her to those
wh-rr endless pleasures virtues deeds
| repay"
