In Memory of Belle Bratton.

Again has the mysterious and fatal hand of death touched and taken from us a dear friend How strange are the ways of death, but, nevertheless, while We say of departed friends, twas for the best, how hard il is for us to realize that "'tis but death who comes at last"
 Is is not sad to think that the smiling face we see today may, ere the morrow, be pale and cold in death, the voice to which we listed still and silent in the grave. "Death loves a shining mark" how true 1t is in this case Miss Belle was loved and respected by every one; kind, tried and forgiving, strife and enmity were strang- CTS 10 her, and how strikingly beautiful is her kindness illus trated through the domestic creatures of her home. She loved and took care of them, and now their actions speak louder than words. Perhaps they wonder at her non ap pearance, yet can never realize, as do her friends, their great less. But ah. If she is missed by friends what Is her loss to those who shared her home; only those who have lost dear ones can tell, and we can only add words far short of express ing what should be said.
 Miss Belle Bratton was taken suddenly sick, Sunday Dec IT. She was unconscious a greater part of the time which reliev ed her of other wise great suf fering. After a brief illness of scarcely three days she faded quietly away, even as the day was fading, Tuesday evening, Dec. IS, 1898.
 Oh why does deaths cold, cruel talons Pluck the flowers we love best. Why convey them from our median To another home of rest.
 Need not we, earth's fairest flowers, Flowers of love and grace possessed Question not the will of mankind Trust to Jesus he knows best. True, sad, sad are our reflections, Unchanged they are though hard we
 strive.
 But as the flowers return at spring
 time,
 So in Heaven she'll revive. Sweet must be the life of angels Free from toll and earthly cares. Oh let us hope to be remembered In some angels sacred prayers. Even dumb friends, whom she be-
 friended,
 List to her voice in vain,
 For the kind words to them spoken They will never hear again Then why. oh why has she departed Ask of Jesus he knows best. Would to God we all could answer, am ready send me rest.
