Thus like the leaves of autumn scar
Our friends are falling one by one,
And We who still are lingering here
Must follow where our brothers gone.
Like stars far down the western skies,
They sink and vanish from our sight;
But like those stars they soon will rise,
And shine with purcr. brighter light.
Like roses, ono by one they bloom;
Like them they wither and decay,
But have Il fragrance which the gloom
Vi death can never take away. 3.
IN MEMORIAL.
The subjects Of tins notice are. first, Robert
Il. hurry, who died ut his home. six miles east
of Odessa, oct. 1851, of typhoid fever, aged 81
years., s months and Il few days. Blooming just
into manhood he possessed a most noble dispo-
aitiOn. None knew him but to love him. He
WAS the oldest boy and the pride of his mothers
heart. never emitting one thing, no matter how
trivial, that would contribute to her happiness;
always trying to smooth the rugged pathway Of
her life. Oh, how sadly Ia his beloved presence
missed +! He prof"ssed religion when IL years
old, but never joined any church, which he
SAID he regretted so much while in his last sick
ness. In his last illness, when he YVES first taken
sick, he said that he would die. as his time had
ceme. and he must go; he exhorted the family
not to grieve for linn as he felt he vast not
worthy u single tear, and told them they must
strive to meet him in that heavenly home where
he Was going. Oh, the tIial was 10 great, but
still Gods holy will he donesl The Death Angel
came again on the 18th of November to this
heart broken immily. and took their baby boy,
George. aged IL years and s months. He was
afflicted with the same disease. They all iuOIlZed
him; he was Il bright little fellow. always cheer
inl and happy, SO like his brother Robert;
he almost wOrshipped his mother. When the
spark OF life had almost fled she asked HIM what
hurt him; he said. 81 feel 80 pleasant ma;
expired. May our dear Lord comfort that grief
stricken mother and father. and make their
hearts feel thut their loss Is but their childrens'
gain. These two brothers that gave comfort to
that once happy home are laid side by side in
their graves. They are sadly missed by all their
friends, but no earthly comfort can fill the
aching void they have left. Death has no re-
now is left but two graves and memories to be
sacrcdly cherished. The Lord gave them and
the Lord hath taken them away. There is COM
tort IN the fact of God taking our loved ones
away, because He does il for our good. Just in
the midst of parent 3 love and friend hopes God
called them to Himself, so VT must give them
up.
