To My Kindred.

Among the effects of the late Laura D. Pettee, of Lakeville, who died Jan 2lst, in her 72d year, was found the following lines. penned by her evident ly but few days before her death. When Death shall set by Gods decree My spirit from my body free, I would the care my clay demands Should not be left to stranger hands. would that those my life has proved The friendliest, the best beloved, Should do for me each needed task My helpless clay shall mutely ask. I would not have a vain display Of trifling things upon my clay, Nor would I that there should be made On it's account the least parade.
 But let my clay with decency Be laid, and robed for secrecy In its estate it lies too low To be adorned for public show. 'Tis valueless-of no moro worth Than like amount of common earth, Nor cen so much-for 'tls prey To corruption in it's decay.
 I would that those of kin most near Should bear the burden of my bier, Should in the grave my clay sink low And kindred earth above 1t throw. And when at last the all is done .. Of need for me beneath the sun, Linger kind friends, moment ere You to the haunts of men repair, And think the years allotted man At longest are but cen span, That Death is sure to tear away The Spirits prison-house of clay. Is Death foe2 Death breaks the bars And the Spirit flies beyond the stars, And somewhere in the " Kingdom come" Finds blessed eternal home. Ponder these things until you feel The spirit witnessing your veal, Then calm await the sweet release That brings you home to God in peace.
