clustered the fondest hopes aud the

die had become the central attraction,
bleed in response TO these sad remind
er5 that lis sweet voice will greet them
no more, his dear smiles will never
again brighten their pathway. Row
inconsolable their sorrow, how the
bruised hearts would yield to despair
without the comforting thought of a
blessed reunion hereafter in the sweet
by and by. Look up stricken ones.
Your Eddie Ia only transplanted. Ed
die was dutiful son to parents, and
kind and afiectionate brother aud low
ing companion to all his associates. He
Will be missed at home and by all his
friends, for none knew him but to love
him.
They laid him in his grave,
with flowers on his breast,
lovely blossom for the sky,
so fragile, yet so blest.
In shadOwy beauty DER his brow.
The life-lke tresses lay,
His eyes were closed as closed in sleep,
Death had scarcely dimmed their

Oh, the soft voice is hnshed,
And those bright eyes Of blue,

All so dark and untrue.
