Of the death of Miss Nellie Mcclellan
who ''feh asleep in Jesus" on Dec. Both

There is a reaper whose name is.death'
LoNGFELLoW.
And must [ strike my Tyre again
So soon, and i'll such mournful tone,
Death stalks abroad and reapt the grain
And claims the nUblest for his own.
Dun dearest friends, pass like a cloud,
Across the cold, pale, silver moou,
And we are left with heads low bowed,
With hopes again to join her soon.
Our gentle friend has passed the stream,
Bat we have yet that river to cross.
Her lie was like a tuneful dream,
And we are lett to mourn our loss. 4
