Her su1eringx ere DER, her troubles I'll roac.
Oh think how she suffered and grz]nnei

An angel that whispered message ofIoyc.

Died, On the 11th Of Hay, 1859, JOHN
II. WEIGH, In the 73rd year Or izis age.
Al preci0ns one from us has gone.
A voice we Lowell i stslIed,
A place Is vacant in our hone
Which never can be filed
God In His wisdom has recalled
The boon His love had given,
Aud though the body moulders here
The soul i safe In heaven
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes 70 weep;
a calm and nndisturbed repose
Unbroken by the last Of foes.
Asleep in Jesus far from thee.
Thy kindred and their graves may he,
But thine is still blessed sleep
From which none ever wakes % weep.

Bereayed ones, what can be said 70 sootke
the gaping wound Of sorrow which your
hearts are now suffering? Can you with
the eye of faith follow your loved one as she
ascends the golden stairs which lead to the
pearly gates Of heayeng Can you with the
ear Of faith catch the full diapason Of the
heavenly organs as with its coral swell IL
watts the glad tidings of another to the host
around the throne Of Godg We knew our
deceased friend well. In her life the kim
dred virtues Of resignation TO her Fathers
will, .eerfulness under all the crosses
which He saw fit to lay upon her, were 90
beautifully blended as to make her life one
rounded whole Of perfect harmony TO His
viii. She bore her protracted suffering
with Christian resignation, only praying
ihat If it were the will Of her Maker she
might be taken from this world 70 that
higher one of bliss 70 which, on account Of
her good and Christian life, we may trust
she has gone. Well may her family and
friends mourn, but they VIII be consoled 10
know by their loss here on earth that they
have gained another angel in heaven. They
will not only miss her presence, but also
those words Of comfort which she was ever
ready 10 give 70 those who were burdened
with trials and tribulations. Truly indeed
| ii can be said that the landmark 10 gone,
and the armchair Is vacant We extend
our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved
family in this their sad hour of affection.
