Of brain fever, CORA LEE, aged 3 years,
10 months ond "a days, oldest daughter Of
John w. and Barbara Downs, of the End
district
The angel of death
Has again visited this section
And taken little Cora up to heaven.
II was hard to part from her,
Whom we loved so dear,
But God knows best
He has taken the little angel home to rest
The household sounds 50 queer,
| For Cora's foOtstep is not there,
Nor is her sweet voice to cheer.
She has walked the golden streets OF heaven
And flew 10 the arms Of God.
| For God knows best,
He has taken the little angel home to rest.
Weep not, dear papa and mamma,
For she is too happy afar
To be in this world of sorrow
| And trouble any more.
This world has one less to suffer
And one less to mourn,
And one more angel in Gods happy throne.
For God knows best,
He has taken the little angel home to rest.
AUNT NETT.
Died, on Saturday, the 4th instant, near
Mechanicsville, after short illness, MARY
beloved wife of George T. Greenfield, in the
| 10th year of her age.
Death with its icy hands has grasped the
heart of one OF our most beloved friends and
thrown pail of darkness over us which
will not soon be cast off She has ended
her earthly career, but still lives in that
land where darkness and sickness are un-
known. Could the prayers of anxious and
devoted friends and the efforts of faithful
physician have availed, the sad duty now
deVolving upon us would have been spared
us. But God knows best and has seen tit
| in His providence to take her from us. She
was kind and loving friend, hosptable
neighbor, affectionate wife and true and
tender mother. She was a Confidant of all
who knew her. No one solicited her aid
and advice who did not receive it. She was
devoted member of the Roman Catholic
church, and fortified by the last sacraments,
peacefully entered the phantom bark which
bore her along swiftly by the tide of death
to everlasting happiness which was her true
reward. Her remains were Inferred in the
graveyard of old st. Joseph's amidst a large
concourse of friends and relatives, who
gathered around to pay the last tribute Of
respect due their gentle friend
Beneath the silent shade,
In the narrow casket bed
They have placed our much loved friend
With the calm and peaceful dead.
Friend and love have done their best,
And now can we do moreH
Her gentle spirit has passed away,
Her sufferings are all DER.
Sweetly rest thy journeys ended,
sweetly rest, Thy toll DER,
Naught of sorrow now can reach thee,
Nor earthly care assail thee more.

On the 4th instant, Mrs. MARY GREEN,
FIELD, beloved wife of Mr.. Geo. Green
field, of the 9th district, departed this life in
10th year of her age.
In the decease of Mrs Greenfield, the
community in which she lived has sustain
ed the loss of an estimable lady, and her
family Ii sad atfiction which time may al
leviate but never eradicate. Her qualities
were ennobling, ever charitable as her means
would permit, il was her holy delight to
brighten the miserable and succor the needy.
At home, amid the family gathering, 1t was
her happy pastime to scatter the flowers of
wisdom her three-score years and ten ofex-
perience nurtured, before the careers of
her children, that their journey adown
the vale of life might not be beset with
thorns. Having embraced the Holy Cath
Ollie faith early in life, she ever afterward
lived up 10 the teachings of her choice, and
when the sad summons to another world
came, happy in the consolation of Chris
tan life, a moment ere the fatal PERIOD her
faltering lips whispered the sentiment,
"Soul, thou hast served Christ these seven
| ty years, and thou art not afraid to die"
