There are graves on earth not dug by man, :
graves marked by no marble monument, nor
sculptured bust, nor stored urn: graves I'M
strewn with flowers and over which no viii.
low bends liz dropping boughs; graves con- +,
tanning no costly ca.ket nor treasured dust, !,
hsllowed graves that ne'er give up their y
sacred dead. Such IA grave IL the torn bosom, =

These precious fruits were found in our
dear brothers lie. His charities were not

woman. the bowed heart OF the widow and
the orphan knew something OF his uBosien-

Them also which sleep in Jesus will God |

our life, shall appear, we also shsl! appear,
or be manifested with lIila IN glory. And so

sympathetic sorrow upon the thrice hallowed
grave OF my friend aud brother, John Reid,
