DRY OF the death OF Mrs. Ann Clement.
widow OF the late Edmund Clement, who
died at her home in Montville, Sept. 18th.
aged 50 years, months and ~ days:
Mothers Gead She is resting on the hill
side,
Where the woodbne and the roses bloom :
Quietly sleeping with her kindred,
Needing not the daInpness Of the tomb,
Knowing not how her children weep
And miss her in the dear ole. home
Where her presence used to cheer them,
And where she never more will come
Long, weary years she toiled
10 gain her own and children's home;
Now all her cares and sorrows ended,
She has more abiding one
Age no more will mark her brow
Or leave its deepening burrows there;
Her eyes no more will dim with tears,
She has escaped from every care.
Sleep on. dear mother rest thee quietly
And when our life-work is DONE
They will lay us down besides thee,
Mid the darkness and the gloom.
When the boatman dips his paddle,
And we hear the sounding Of the oar,
Fearless the bark we'll enter,
Crossing to the other shore.
Yes, We'll cross the foaming river,
There to greet lost friends once more;
Where fond ties will not be severed
When all our griefs and tolls are Ger.
There from broken hearts no cry ascends.
No walls for idols loved and lost;
No weeping DER false-hearted friends,
As when DER life's rough sea we tossed.
