In Washington city, on the 9th ult, az
ter q short Illness, ZACH GOLDSMITH
HUSEMA n the 2ist year Of his age.
Zach, L k8W nMiifxfiy Called was
much beloved and very dear 10 his family.
When the steamer arrived at Colton's with
his loved remains, the wailing and lamen-
tatiCn that went out was heartrending. If
grieving We're a sin, then his family greatly
sinned. But Jesus wept at the death of his
beloved Lazarus. Zach was cunning and
skillfui artisan, far above his years He
had fine musical talent, and many a one
Will recsllect regretfuily the merry sound
Of his vid which so often has given so much
hilarity and pleasure to the young and joy
| Gus. Now it lies against the wall, mute, and
as silent as when all sound sleeps 1t is
written, As well the singers as the players
shall be there" and we may hope that Zach
has exchanged his VOL for Golden Harp.

The death of Mrs. MARY V, the wife of
A. 5. While, of the second district, which
took place on the Sth instant, was a severe
stroke of the Divine Will upon her many
friends aad relatives, and especially upon
her bereayed family. Who but themselves
| can fathom the depths Of burning grief
poured into the hearts of husband and chill
| dren whose loving wife and tender mother
has been taken from their midst, never
again TO bestow upon the loved ones either
fond smiles or tender chidings which make
home the pleasant spot where all earthly af
fectiens are justly centred. For nearly two
months Mrs. While was constant sufferer,
all Of which she bore with Christian forti-
tude and when death approached to claim
his own he found her smiling, and waited
her home with a prayer on her lips to meet

| to b in the bereavement of those she left
behind, and often would she pity her little
| ones, whom she was conscious of leaving
| The sympathy of her many friends is ex-
tended TO them, but no sympathy can equal
| mothers love, and therefore they have
| much loss to mourn. Console yourselves,
my dear bereaved ones, with the knowledge
of her happy death and sure reward Of many
merits, and bear all for her sake and the
One that willed it So
They laid her low in the graveyard,
And covered her body with clay,
But the soul which left il to moulder
Has been waited far away
| To that home, which knows no sorrow,
Where resto<Re true is given,
While her body at ST. Georges sleeps
Her spirit dwells in Heaven.

+. and Edmonia II. Perry, aged months
and days.
Alas how fleeing and transitory are the
| joys of this life. just as our little one had
| begun TO show sufficient signs of recogni-
ton TO gladden. our hearts and respond to
our caresses with its smiles, it was taken
| from US in its innocence and its pure spirit
| fled to Him who gave il. But though our
hearts are stricken and We are grieved 10
part with our dear baby, our sorrow is so
laced by the assurance that il is now an angel
| in Heaven safe in the loving embraces of Him
| who has said, 'sutfer little children TO come
| unto me, and forbid them not, for Of such
is the Kingdom of Heaven"
Rest little one in the arms of thy Savior,
Thou vert too pure for this earth below,
A joy thou vert TO thy father and mother
They yield thee loved one for better home.

IT'S hard to give our Effie up,
Put We will be resigned TO Him,
Who is too wise to err,
Too good TO be unkind.
