Whether fair or fierce winds blow.

And there, though the skies be gray,
We slip the great worlds tether,
Aud while mid the bloom we stray.
We deem It's the rosy Nav.

Though the skies be- dull and gray.
And We shut the great world out
The world with it, work AMI worry

We shut the great world out.
And back from it, grace and bloom,
We bring Of it, helpful beauty,
Some hearts ease for DAYS to come,
Some light for the days Of gloom.
Some strength for the coming duty,
We bring from its grace and bloom.
And the friends that we love the best
Look up IN our eyes and wonder;
Not knowing what peace and rest
We have found in that garden blest:

the frequent calls that were made during the

It. is pleasant to pastor tu be remembered in
this substantial way BY the good peop of his

yet performed this operation on their pastors,
may rest assured that they will be none the
less thought of by SO doing, even though the
pastor himself may suffer from indig estion for
few days afterwards.

called to follow her, we have reason to believe,

cording to the impressive ritual of the church
she loved and com muned in as a living mem
her of the same. and followed by sweet strair S
of holy music. her body was borne to its rest
ing-place, and her redee ed spirit entered up
on the perfect consummation and bliss of
those who are departed in the true faith" 1t
is not for us to turn back to the childhood and
youth and to the happy married life of the
subject of this notice. Suffice it to say, that
the spirit of true and gentle womanhood has
always distinguished her. and that her chill
dren and children's children may well rejoice
to see the light of her life shining along the
pathway of theirs
