DEATH OF ELLA g. WOOD.

1t was q sad death-that of Miss
Ella s. Wood of California, Mo-.
which occurred near this city, some
days since, and was at the time chron-
icled in the BAzoo. She had been q
patient sufferer for months and the
disease vas aggravated by the linger.
ing illness and death of an idolized
mother only a few weeks previous.
She was young lady characterized
by beauty, refinement, amiability and
varied accomplishments. Just when
life should have been brightest to her
on the threshold of womanhood,
when lovers came and the changing
scenes in TIE panorama Of life were
most deiightful-the reckoning finger
of the Angel of Death called her to
the Beyond. Oh. the pity of il! And
how many a silent tear has stolen
adown the cheek st the remembrance
of u beautiful life go early closed to
earthly scenes-so early parted from
the companionsbip of loved ones
And yet why mourn? Does not q
happy form wend its joyous way
along the gold-paved streets of the
Celestial city? Does not a tuneful
voice make glad music in the heavenly
choir? Is she not nesting as a child
again on that loved mothers bosom
Mourn not-Ella is at peace.
''She has eone-she has gone TO the regions
If light
She was with us to-day-she is in Heaven
Tonight.
Though to p Art with her was trial severe
Yet tits better that she should be YondeI
