In MemOriam.

The Lord in his mysterious dealings
with mankind, has again afflicted those
who revere his Name, by taking from
them dearly beloved one.
On June 9TH the Lord took 10 himself
our beloved mother. Rachael Jane Bos-
ton, and oh how hard for us to bear
such dispensation of Providence She
was all that kind, loving, and sanity
mother could bc. She seemed tn not
know in her own life what selfishness
meant. To comfort, aid. and To make
it pleasant for others seemed To have
been the sole object of her life Every
wish of her children became a law with
her that must be carried out To the
letter. They received every thing that
Il fond mother could possibly render I'M
To child. As Il wife she no doubt short
cned her earthly pilgrimage through
her devotion To sick husband. nights
of ceaseless watching by his bedside,
and the terrible physical and mental
strain to which she was subjected no
doubt, Slapped the vitals and brought
about her demise.
She was hospitable almost To fault.
and no one ever crossed the threshold
of her home but who received Il hearty
welcome and was treated To the bountics
of her hands Alas she is gone Gone
to live with Him whom she adored. and
though she has passed away from off
the earth, the picture of her sweet face
hangs upon mcmory's wall where we
can ever gaze upon it with the mental
eye.
Gone to her heavenly home
To live with the Savior above
With her departed ones toroam
In the sweet realm of love
There upon her Savior to gaze
And receive that long wished for rest.
There her Redeemer to praise
And forever be with the blest.
