IN MEMoRIAM.
| A dearly loved one borne away
| from the nOme-ff0m the household band
Surely there's been place prepared
In the house not made with human hands
For he must have known the treacherous
stream
Could not well be trusted with life:
Or, did he forget its danger
In the absence of sorrow and strife?
/ He was only a moment in crossing
F | Over the boundary line,
: And his death, though lonely, was painless
, As he hade farewell 10 Time.
To US, life seemed all before him,
, pang-it had only begun;
Its problems assailed with youths vfgor
Lol the handwriting reads: at is done p'
In his hand God holdeth the waters:
, AT his bidding they give up their hold:
No noise of the cannon was needed
To find the lost ones abode.
Onward, and onward, and onward
) Where the ages never grow dim
Redemption has purchas sed an entrance
And death may not enter in.
: Mrs. b. s. EDWARDS.
