ten for the SPECTATOR.
The remains of Mrs. Charles Turner. (nee
Fletcher were laid to rest on last Saturday
evening in ThOrnroSe Cemetery. Both Mr.
and Mrs. Turner were born and raised here.
He moved North about five years ago. and
she went to live in California with her Sis
tiers and brothers about two years ago, but
her health became very poor and she return
ed east about months ago to live with her
sister, Mrs. Annie Burress; and in one month
after her return she was married.
Her health became SO alarming that she
was taken to hospital in Washington for
treatment and died there in short while at
the youthful age Of 10. She was young
girl of great beauty and possessed charm
that fascinated every one who knew her.
Her death was one Of the saddeSt we have
ever known. Even the doctors and nurses
at the hospital who are so accustomed to
looking upon the faces Of the dead, to seeing
suffering and sadness, we're moved to tears
at her death, and at the grave the grief OF
her sister and her young husband was pita-
BILE Ia the extreme. And yet since we have
been removed from this scene OF sadness
and of tears, we cannot look upon such
death as being sad, for ''hope seems to see a
star and listening love can hear the rustic
of wing Here in this world where life
and death are equal kings. we look upon
death as being as natural as life-it seems
to be but the opening of the gates of ever
lasting Joy, and from the western wave
kissed shore, we seem to hear messages of
hope and joy like sweet strains of music
blown by the mystic trumpeter from
deaths pale realm" Where one dies whose
life has been failure, or when you stand
at the open grave and hear not the anguish
of some loved one-where no tears are shed,
then this is sadness. But as we think Of
this beautiful girl so happy and charming
in life, who met this thing they call death
as tranquil as star meets morning. and
stand at her open grave and think of her
happy soul that has winged its flight from
the tumult of this world to the quiet OF the
stars, and see her young husband, who had
loved her from early youth. standing in the
shadow of his great grief, there seems to be
something absolutely grand and beautiful.
even here. i cannot picture to myself a
grander sight than the grief of this young
lover for his beautiful bride-the girl he
loved so we'll. it seems to lose all its sad
ness-it wipes away every tear and the heart
bushes all its repining, and makes earth,
heaven here below, love is the only bow on
life's dark cloud. Love was the first to
dream of Immortality. Love is the morn
ing and evening star. 1t shines upon the
child; it sheds its radience upon the peace
full tomb, it is the builder of every hope, the
kinder of every fire on every hearth. it is
the mother of every virtue and of every JOY
Without it life is naught. with itdeath itself
becomes positively glorious.
