Fold the little hands, 10 waxen,
Ger the pulseless, baby breast,
For our little one il sleeping,
la deaths long and dreamless rest.
Press the gold fringed eyelids gently,
Ger the sunny, trusting eyes.
Eyes that, closed on earth forever,
open up ia Paradise.
Vain we question why 1t happened,
Hpw Il can be for the best
Asking why those feet, so early
On their journey, needed rest
But, though hearts are aching, broken,
With the duh, unceasing pain
Though the light of life seems vanished
Never to come back again
Yet, oh who would wish to call her,
From her home of light above
Who would ask that God had left her
Here, to cheer us with her love
Even with our love to guide her,
In the paths Of good and right,
Would she still have entered heaven,
With n soul so pure and white
At her home in Troxelville, on
March 9, Mrs Sabilla X. Troxell, aged
33 years, months and IA days.
The deceased was n native OF
Strausstown, Berks Co., Pa, born
there Aug. Is, lsis and IA years ago
became the wife Of Mr.. Isaac n. Trox-
ell.
Mrs. II. IL remembered by her nc.
quaintances for her courteous and i'm
partial sociability by many intimate
friends for her kind hospitality and
frank yet generous department.
She was devoted to the cause of
God and proved it by hard, earnest,
incessant, selfsacrificing labor in the
Sabbath services OF the congregation,
In the prayer meeting, and In the
Sabbath School and when toward
the close OF life her frail body, wasted
by consumption, no longer permitted
this, she yearned for the services OF
the more beautiful to mple OF God on
high.
For nearly two years past the trial
faith seems to have been bodily afiiic-
ton and family bereaveme nts. Dur
ing this time she found no entire re-
lief from the pain ia her body through
the many suggestions and prescrlp:
tions Of skillful physicians in differant
parts OF the country, and with it, on
March 10, 1881, followed d to the grave
at Reading Pa. her father, Michael NJ.
Miller soon after wo dear and prom
ising boys, Charlie A., about 3 years
old on April II, 81 and j Palmer
about Z OH April II, 81 through ma
lignant scaIiet fever ; and on Oct.
es, 81, q sister, Mrs. Mary X. Knerr.
She took her own departure from
this life in painful throes, but bore it
all with such remarkable christian
fortitute that 1t would have been call
ed, by some, Stoic indifference had it
not been for her ardent desire to de-
part and be with Christ and hers
when 1t was evident to her that God
so willed.
We miss her much everywhere In
church work, and her life is exeni-
plary for us all,
She leaves, this side the bourne, a
mourning husband and son.
