The mavis sans but yesterday
A strain that thrilled through aut1nn
dearth:
He read the music Of his lay
In light and loak, and heaven end earth;
The windnowers BY the wayside swung.
Words of the music that was sung. #
In sll his song The shade and sun
OF earth and heaven seemed 70 mssA
lte Joy and sorrow were hs one.
Its very sadness was but sweet;
He sang Of summers yet TO be.
You listened to his song with me.
Tho heart makes sunshine In the rain,
Or winter In the midst Of May,
And though the mavis sings again
His selfsame song Of yesterday,
I find no gladness In his tone;
Today listen here alone.
And--even our sunniest moment TAKES
Such shadows Of the bliss we knew
Today his throbbing song awakes
But wistful, haunting thoughts Of you:
Its very sweetness 10 but sad,
You gave 1t all the Joy IL had.

also ordered me to leave without any
cause, but l could not take my little

of my life, as he had q revolver in his

county, Va, in 1887, and emigrated to
Ohio in 1850. In 1885 he removed to
this place, where he has since resided.
In 1864 he was married to Miss Foster,
who, with his three daughters survive
to mourn his loss. His funeral was
conducted on Monday under direction
of the Masonic Fraternity, of which
he was devoted and faithful member.
In the death of Mr.. Malcom we lose a
good citizen and respected neighbor;
his bereft wife, devoted husband,
and his mourning children, loving
father. The family has the deepest
sympathy of this entire community,
which undivided flows to their home,
SO suddenly, so unexpectedly deprived
of husband and father.
Where thou art gone,
Adieus and farewells are a sound unknown:
May we but meet thee on that peaceful shore
The parting words shall pass our lips no more"
