her loss, not as one lost forever, but as
one gone before, to prepare the way for

Heavenly Rest, where the spirit of our
own dear, Miss Valentine, diseuthrallsd of
its earthly body shall forever sing in the
choir the praises of her Heavenly Father
at tue feet Of our Dear Saviour,
1t is 5eautl fnl to die, when life,
With all its duties done.
Drifts on as drifts a summer cloud
To meet the setting sun;
1t will DO beautiful to pass the Golden
Shore,
And in ito many mansions meet
The loved and lost Of yoro.n
May her soul rest in peace.
