our little village, and with his sickle
keen has laid low the fairest flower that
ever grew among US, Only last week
she moved like an angel among her
earthly friends, ministering to their
wants and speaking words of love and
cheer; today her body is numbered with
the pale nations of the dead and her
spirit, gentle as a seraph's, has winged
its fight to God who gave 1t. The very
picture of health, can we think she has
gone from us2 Yea, though IL be, her
life still speaks messages of love, hope
and faith. Rightly was she christened,

then her guileless innocence, her retiring
modesty, her virgin purity encompassed
her with Il charm in whose hallowed
sphere no guilty thought could live.
She was born Sept. q, 1873, and died
October y, 1895.
Surely every tear she has wiped away
(and many know her good deeds) will be
crystalized into precious jewels that will
adorr her crown of immortality. But
oh her grave; her young grave; from its
bosom spring none but fond regrets and
tender memories, for her life was grand
sweet song; living exponent of the
one great truth that we should live but
for the sole purpose to die. What a
place for meditation. In living letters
it speaks Of christian virtues and gentle,
ness; of kind words and good deeds.
Father! He is basking in the tender
sunshine of her love. Mother! (halow.

lesson from her life, fragrant as the rose
that marks her vacant pew in Gods
sanctuary. Lover! God pity him, and
may an all kind providence bind up his
broken heart and point his fearful, grief.
worn eyes to scenes beyond the grave,
where virtues blossoms always blow, and
fear no wintry blast. May those who
loved her here find solace in the poets
