IN MEMORY OF
JOHN W. SCARBOROUGH,

JOHN W. SCARBOROUGH,
Who Died February 18th, 1882, Aged 6. Years.
One is missed, an missed sincerely:
Missed within our quiet home!
Gone is he whom loved we dearly
Left vacancy for gloom
Eyes that glistened once with gladncss
fearful are and dim;
Pleasure giveth place to sadness,
When we think of him.
One is missed the hours move slowly
Since our loved one passed away:
Time Is dreary since we lowly
Laid him on that parting day.
From our view his form was hidden
In the cold. damp tomb
Death came to us all unbldden,
Darkened our dear home.
One is missed Gods angels babe him
Come and dwell with them above:
Meath the floral sod we laid him,
Final token of our love.
Ne'er again on earth wei meet him:
Speak to him no more:
But we hope at last TO greet him
On that heavenly shore.
One is missed! Within this sentence
All is told that we can tell,
And our souls move in repentance
And our eyes with tears oft swell
For we long 10 live thus purely,
That when death has come
To us. we may rest securely
With our beloved ut home.
One is missed but oh, we hope
To join him beyond the skies;
surely those pearly gates will opc
To welc >me us to Paradise.
There beyond the crystal river
In those realms of bliss,
We Ito part no more forever,
Will meet the one we miss
BY his Wife, JULIAN SCARBOROUGH.
