In Memory of Miss susannah Muck.

Affection is passed, the heaven-borr
spirit is fled,
Her wish she fully has gained,
And now she is intombed with the dead
The days and the months of distress are
over,
We see her in anguish no more,
She has gained her happy relief
No sickness, no sorrow, no pain,
Will ever disquiet her now.
Death to her spirit is gain,
Since Christ was her life when below,
Her victory she does now obtain.
She has gone her dear Saviour to see.
To mansions in glory above,
To mingle with the angels of life,
And dwell in kingdom of love.
We shall soon behold her again,
Renewed and redoubled in delight.

herdstown, w. Va.

phia College of Pharmacy and stood a
