HOWARD BIELAsKI and FREDERICK
ABEL, aged respectively 10 years 5
months and II days, and IS years, 1
month, beloved sons of Charles w. and
Annie sanner, departed this life Feb 3,
1897. Lovely and pleasant and united
in their lives, in death they were not di-
vided. Could we render an apostrophe
to earth, 'twould be on a minstrel of
sorrow. Death, its most dread ccncom-
liant, with ruthless tread invades alike
each happy home, thrusting its iron
with desperate lust through every devot-
ed heart, making itself the winter of the
soul, and yet withal, there is deep sig
nificance and more precious consolation
in that it traverses like an index the
ambient heavens
Forever pointing towards the Infinite.
And Death? Ills but the Winter of the soul
Wherein the germ OF immortality
May gather strength and beauty FOR the Spring
Thas e sn a., nor with the endless summer.

And change and death are one-and God In all.
Dear afflicted parents and devoted sis
tiers and brothers. we mourn with you
sad requiem over these dear and loved
ones, yet not as those without hope, for
we shall see them again.
What tongue can tell, what bliss oyerfIowed
Inc parents tender hearts, while round them
The offspring of their love, and lisped their
As living jewels, dropt unstainei from heaven
Young loves, young hopes dancing on mo. n

Gems ieaping in the coronet of love;
SO beautiful, SO full OF life they seemed.

The funerals of the two sons of Mr.. C.
Wesley Sanner, of Great Mills, in this
county, HOWARD and FREDERICK, aged
10 and IS respectively, took place from
his residence or Friday last, and was
one of the largest and saddest ever
known in that section. Our hearts went
out to the grieved parents and relations
when the two hearses started from their
door at the same moment, bearing away
to their last resting place, all that was
mortal of their two noble sons. Cut
down in the bloom of their youth, the
pride and hopes of their parents, be-
loved by allwho knew them, is a melan-
choly reflection for us, too great and sad
for utterance!
They are buried in one grave in the ,
old graveyard at Ebeneza Church after
services by the Rev. Mr.. Wilson the
Pastor, assisted by Rev. Mr.. Dougherty.
The sermon of the Reverend gentleman
was truly touching and the appropriate
words of the great poet seem to touch
each heart, and to say, Thy heart is big,
get thee apart and weep" FRIEND.
