Great and wise Ruler Of the Uni

the entire community, and opened
a wound in the hearts Of her low

healed by the reunion IN the Par.

She was an only child, and the
angel spirit of her pleasant, beau

moned her to q better and rurer
Cline, she had the guardian care

being the personal center of his
hopes ard happiness. 10 the
fond mother no rose was so lovely
as her smile, no path so aowery as
that imprinted with her Footsteps.
The sweet name (Clara) was so
cntwined round her heart, that
heart, must cease 10 throh ere she

She mastered her lessons with &C.
curacy and precision seldom equal

very soon won the wrapt attention
and admiration OF the audience.
Professor Draby Jones "a former
teacher) on hearing Of her death
writes-"Death is sad in any case,
butt am especially shocked by
the sudden taking off Of so young,
bright and promising a girl as
Miss Clara was, with beauty and
manner 10 win admiration, her
intellect at once commanded my
respect, when l was in a position
to esteem her merit"
But death cloves a shining
mark, "'and its death dealing bat
teries are mording, and a. great |
fortress line Of seige is confront.
ing every home. Day by day,
hour BY hour, moment by moment
with each heavfng Of the lungs,
its victims are falling. Youth

from this war. and no skill or af.
fiction can ward it OF But we
await :he triamphs of the resur-
rection. The soul has only drop. |

Out Of the very graves in which |
VIC deposit the hodlcs Of our luycd |
ones, u new and slorilicl body |
shall come forth in Tie 'esurcc-
tion morn. And though it does not
appear what it shall be; yet it
shall be like Jesus, for we shall
see him as he is, and be forever
Thcn Sleep on sweet one, AMI
'Green be tie turf above thee,
Though short were thy days;
None knew thee bnt to love thee,
None named thee but to prise thee"
Lovingly dedicated by her deyo-
ted teacher.
