Obituary..

DlEp-At the residence of her uncle,
Col. b r. Rogers, in Opelousas, Jan. Is,
1883, Miss CELESTE P. ROGERS, young
est daughter of Geo. N. Rogers and Irma
Lastrapes, both deceased, aged fifteen
years and four months.
TO chronicle the death Of the aged and
infirm seems to come as a natural and
expected event of every day life, just as
we expect any other result from known
and existing cause. With the old, the
energies of life are exhausted the oil
of vitality has been consumed and the
light of existence flashes ont like the
fame from an empty lamp. We mourn
their loss, we miss their reverent pres
ence and words of wisdom, yet we sur
render them to the grim monarch,
Death, with something of resignation
because we feel they have filled the al
lotted span of life on earth, and must
submit to the decree of the All-Wise
One: "Dust thou art, aud unto dust
thou shalt return" BIZ, with the young,
just blooming into the realities of life
just reaching that eminence on the high
way where they can see the picturesque
landscape of existence ahead of them;
where flattering hope and buoyant fancy
paint SO many lovely prospects OF the
future and whisper: "Push forward to
them: they will be yours" oh, how
hard it is for such an one to be stricken
down in the midst of so much to strive
for and to enjoy, for so many possible
years of happiness in the beckoning vista
of coming time! 1t does seem cruel
but hush! We must not complain, as We
should believe "God doeth all things
welln
The subject of this sketch was girl
of lovely disposition, quiet and pleasant
demeanor, and possessed many attrac-
tions of beauty and worth in mind and
in person. AS pupil at school she was
ambitious to excel in her studies and to
reach the goal of well stored and
highly cultured mind. If she had lived
she would have become an accomplished
and lovable woman, and brilliant Or
nament to society. AS "a companion she
was beloved by her schoolmates, by her
teachers, and by her friends. She was
an afiectiOnate sister and a devoted
niece, and was Il perfect sunbeam in
her uncle's household. In her last ILL
ness she bore her weeks of suffering
with fortitude and resignation, and
spoke seriously of religious subjects and
of an Immortality hereafter. She re-
gretted that she was not confirmed in
The Episcopal faith, but died with faith
in God and with the hope Of happiness
and Immortality beyond the grave.
All, well though hard. perhaps tia best
That angels have called her away
To give her o home with the pure and blest
Where naught again shall eer decay.
