"whom the Gods love die young"
The mysterious tide Of death mas suddenly
taken from Is most amiable and devoted
lady. Alas are we to give her upf-pearI
Of woman--to hear no more the sweet accents
Of that friendly voiee-to look no more upon
that cheerful counienance. How selhshly We
would call her back although her last words,
"Now I will say little prayer" assures ne
of her Unreasonable gain. But her task IS
finished, the gentle spirit has taken its flight
assisted b. the 0mnipotent Hand to higher
and purer world.
"Give sorrow words; the grief that does not
speak
whispers The o'er-fraught heart, and bids
il break"
She was devoted wife, mother and sister;
q lively companion; full of courage and hope
and possessing youthful joyousness that
made her like beam Of sunshine.
She Is not dead but lives. Like . dream
she has passed away but it is only the body
that 10 dead. Her character, full OF manv
virtues, 50 simple and beautiful, will ever be
eushrined In the hearts Of all who knew her.
None can say that any faint Of arrogaace or
vanity. rudeness or discourtesy, ever touched
her pure and noble soul.
Bereaved and heart stFickenei husband, AZ
fectionate and devoted brothers aud sisters
and attached friends, be consoled for, "God
disposes Of Things sweetly."
Wee2 not, therefore, that one 20 eminently
worthy Of divine favors should, in the bloom
Of womanhood and in the beginning Of hap
Dr. and useful life, bid adieu 10 the cares tur-
MOL, and troubles Of this life to be united
with the saints Of Heaven that attend around
Him whose preseace 10 everlasting bliss.
