Leaves have their time to fall
And flowers to wither at the north winds breath
And stars TO set-bnt all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, oh death.
our brother is gone oh tears will start
Nor can we stay their flow.
'Tis hard, it's hard from thee TO part,
But God has willed it so.
We would have kept thee with us STILL
But oh, that could not be,
For It's our Heavenly Fathers will
That we must part with thee.
But. brother, in the land on high
Where parting is no more,
We hope to meet thee, by and Ivy,
When this brieflife is DER,
Earth to earth and dust to dust:
Saviour, in z by word we trust.
Sow we now our precious grain;
Thou shalt raise it up again:
Plant we the terrestrial root
That shall bear celestial fruit;
lay bud within the tomb
That flower in heaven may bloom,
Severed are no tender ties
Though in earth's embrace he lies
For the frightening chain of love
Stretches TO his home above.
Earth to earth, and dust to dust
sad the trials, sweet the trust;
Father, then, who seest death
Gathering grain at every breath,
Murmur not that now he weayes
This sweet flower among his sheayes;
Taken in his early prime,
Gathered in the winter time.
Sharp the pang that we must feel,
Sharper than the foeman's steel,
Now our fairest flower is hid
Underneath the coffin lid.
How sweet il will he in that beautiful land,
So free from all sorrow and pain,
With songs on our lips and with harps in our hands
To meet one another again. BY HIS SISTERS

Retirement of Judges White and Summers
Address of Judge Summers.


Judges Summers and White ofthe Orphans
Court stepped down from the bench on Mon
day last and were succeeded by Messrs. Lewis
Cash and Albert Schaeffer. Before vacating,
Judge Summers delivered a farewell address,
as follows:
The mutations incident to political position
having made it necessary for me to sever my
official relations with this court and its Off
GERS, a few words preliminary to my retire
ment may not be, | trust, regarded as inap
propriate, some remarks that may, in a small
measure at least, reflect my sentiments, and
at the same time pay an humble but sincere
tribute to the conduct and character of my
former official associates. The relations per-
sonal, as well rs official, existing during my
incumbency as Associate Judge of this court,
have been of a kind calculated, naturally, to
impress me now that those relations are to be
severed with feelings of profound regret.
During my term it gives me pleasure to say
that | cannot recall single circumstance in
which each and all of you have ever failed to
exhibit disposition to render those relations
of the most agreeable kind to me. Your con-
sideration and indulgence were generous in
the extreme, and that consideration, that in
diligence, and that kindness, shall be treasured
up among the golden memories of my life. 1t
is particularly agreeable to me to tender the
Register of Wills and his affable assistant my
personal thanks for the services rendered this
court during my term, and my associates will
agree with me when | assert that without
those services the success of our official du
ties would have been largely qualified. In
conclusion, to the new court | extend my
congratulations, feeling assured that all who
may come before it for advice or Judgment
will have that advice honestly and iutelli-
gently given and Judgment equitably rendered.
