IN MEMORIAM.

Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the North winds breath
And stars to set-but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, DEATH.
Miss Ida M. Gudger after an illness of
several months, died Nov. 22nd, 1885, OF
that fatal disease, consumption. She en-
braced religion when quite young, and
joined the NJ. E. Church, South, of which
she lived and died an acceptable mem
Der. She expressed herself sometime
before her death, as being perfectly re-
signed to the will of God We now re-
alize the solemn truth that another hui
man being in the spring-time of life has
been called upon to pass through the
fearful trial, which sooner or later, awaits
US all. She was young, lovely, and be.
loved; to her friends, ever faithful and
affectionate, and to those who were bound
to her by more sacred ties, an angel OF
light and purity, uniting the bewitcliing
playfulness and confding simplicity of a
child, to the strong, deep and passionate
tenderness of woman's maturer years.
But she is gone; stricken down while yet
in the first flush of youth and health and
happiness; while vet the earth appeared
bright and fair, and hope was whisper
ing her "rich and breathing her tales OF
SOACp 1tiONSu
were weeping all around-it availed not.
She is gone! Gone to behold the mystic
ries of the unseen world which faith
presents to the bereaved aed deselate;
gone to return "never MORE" but faint
ly from that land of shadow-faintly
above the din of the noisy earth, rises
the warning voice, 'he ye alsI ready"
She will not return to as, but we shall 60
to her. Farewell then dear one, until
we shall have crossed with the boatman
tuat cold, dark stream over which thou
hast past and join thee in thy hal pier
home. Long shalt thou live in the
hearts of thy friends; long will the
sweet tones of thy gentle voice linger in
our ears, and the remembrance of thy
beauty and goodness shall be to us "a
Joy forever,"-While we rulest for co1so-
iation in the belief which has been so
beautifully expressed, that when death
strikes dewn the innocent and young
for every fragile folm from which he
lets the painting spirit free, hundred
virtues rise in the shape of mercy, char
ity and love. to watch the earth aud
bless it with their light.
God nothing does nor suffers to be done,
But that thou wouldst, thyself
Couldst thou but see; as well as he,
Through all eternity
