In memory of Charles w. Croasdale of
Newark, Delaware, who died Monday,
September, 10Th, in the 23rd year of his
age. Though an orphan from early child
hood, he was tenderly cherished through
life, and is deeply mourned in death by
the aunt and uncle to whom his mother
gave him on her dying bed. Knowing no
love but theirs, he devoted his few years
on earth to their happiness, and returned
their affection as truly as if he had been
indeed their own child Good, obedient
and amiable in boyhood; pure-souled in
youth; he met death apparently without
fear, without case, except for the dear
ones he must leave, and went down to
the grave with calmuess that surprised
all who knew him. 1t seems needless to
dwell upon his many virtues. His life
was his eulogy, and his bright example
was perhaps his mission here.
new grave in the churchyard here;
Remorseless death hath placed 1t there,
Hath severed once again affections ties,
And with his presence chilled the air.
Over this sacred spot bereaved ones moarn,
And drop their tears upon the silent dust
That covers from their hungry eyes the form
SO peaceful in its earnest trust
What can say, or how impart.
Their feelings to this voceless sheet
iIow name the thoughts that crowd each heart,
And then depart with nOseess feet?
Depart to sadly turn and pause again
At memory's fearful shrine, and there
Recall the bghted hopes, the years of pain,
The spoless soul, the life so fair
The last low words, one scarce could hear
4 "I'm gong-soon. I--think-to-nghi"
| The anxious inquiry: ado you fear?"
The answer brave; ooh, no! ANS right"
| The kind words whispered low that night,
"we'll slow unlock the gates of dew
That with soft and mellow light
The rosy morning may come through.
"For shadows DER the dying cyes
I Arecreepins from the valley dark,
And tendery the sun must rise,
] And bright the lonely pathway mark"
Cut on the wings of that fair morn
The fearless spirit took its flight,
Away from the body so frail and worn,
Into the world where all is right

1t was discovered by tho condemna-

Morrison estate in Cecil county, a stone,
with three sides. This stone is about
thrco feet high, with letters NJ. on one
