Died, ather homein Detroit, Michigan,

ner of Charles Town, w. Va. Her re-
mains were taken to Adrian, Mich. where
she had formerly resided, and inferred in
the beautiful family plat at O~akwood.--
The final rites of the Episcopal church
were uttered by the Rev. E. H. Channer,
rector of Christ Church, of which she
was a member for many years. Previous
services had been conducted at the home
in Detroit by the Rev. DIR. Praull and as
s%istant, of st Paul's church. The grave
was lined with evergreen, and many
beautifuIfora decorations manifestedthe
esteem in which the dead one was held by
those who knew her worth. Mrs. Laley
was a Virginian by birth, and her loss
will be lamented by many friends, who
found in her so many noble traits of
character, among which was unselfsh-
ness in a marked degree, the best ener-
gies of her life being spent in sustaining
the sick and soothing the suffering.

ON the Death Of a Child.

She hath fallen asleep in the morning,
In the rosy-hucd beautiful hours;
When the bird-songs are softest and sweetest
In the breath of the blossoming flowers.
While the dew-drops yet jeweled the roses,
While the world, to her wondering eyes
Wore the brightness OF Eden, her spirit
Winged it's flight to its homo in the skies.
And tits wen, for she feels not the torture
OF the thorns in LIES deeolate path.
And she hears not the voice of its tempests,
In the might of their pitiless wrath.
She hath known but the gladness of morning,
When no cloud dimmed its glory of light;
She is spared The fierce heat of the noon-tide
And the soul-chiiliug gloom of the night.
She is sleeping, and let not a tcar-drop
Ger her slumbers in sorrow be shed,
your hearts, o., uplift in thanksgiving,
as &c lovingly kneel by her bed.
To the Lord, who in mercy hath given,
And in mercy hath taken away.
Who hath called home your sunnyeyed darling
In the beautiful dawn of the day.
HOWARD MORTON.
