Dedicated to Mr.. and Mrs. X. Duak ON the
Death of Their Beloved Son Gerard.

| 20 not in bitterness, not in wrath.
| The messenger came that day:
| 1t was an angel visited the green earth
And took your darling boy away
Dear friends, | hope ere this thy
tears have ceased to flow. 'Ti- true
death has robbed you of your darling
boy and made your bosom a Greary
lake of tears. But he has passed from
the troubled transitory scene of life to
the unfading glores of immortality,
therefore, weep not for the lost one.
Life is still sad and the world dark and
gloomy to you. know. but why should
you weep and sadly mourn that he has
gone before, only 4 few more neelng
years and you meet him on the heav-
enly shore. Death appeared with
blighting touch. thy cherished idol to
destroy, but though he sleeps in death
cold arms. his soul has lied beyond the
grave. The death pang rends no more
his heart; his spirit is now unfettered
and the withering finger of decay can
no more blight its beauleous brow.
He's happy now, and at rest beyond
the murmuring sea. Before thy Faith
er's throne he stands among the saints
a welcome guest. Another voice has
| joined the songs that echo sweetly
through the skies, and through the
shining courts OF Paradise another
form is gliding.
O. bear the chastenings of thy Fath~
er's rod with meek resignation. BE
! joyful. for thou hast returned thy child
an angel back 10 God, and II bud has
fallen from thy breast to bloom cter-
nally in heaven.
VIII t"olirss Of the saddest ~atnre
this memorial is written. for it recalls
to the mind OF the writer one who en-
joyed the friendship of all who knew
| him. Possessed Of a disposition most
aminhle, d character immaculate. he at
, once became the magnet around which
! innumerable friends clustered. and the
announcement of his sudden death sent
il thrill of sorrow to the hearts OF ev-
cry one that knew him. His many EN-
inent qualities OF mind and heart had
gained for him before his death all
tha, could be desired, and >tiIl the aG-
miration for him grew daily. He wa>
one Of those inestimable characters
seldom met. Possessed Of Il Kind AnG
loving heart, he Was zone among
many.
He leaves a host 0. friends ana rr'H-
tivcs to mourn his untimely los. hut
they mourn not AS those who have no
hope. for they know his soul has pass-
ed to heaven to mingle with ihe bless
ed. His bright smile will 40 longer n1
seen. his gentle voice is husheu in
eternal sleep. His spirit has gone to
the God who gave it to bloom, only tor
a short time, as flower in the desert.
