Died in Moyock, after a long
illness of paralysis, Mrs. Sabrina
A. Davis, aged about s. years.
During her long illness she was
never heard to murmur or COM
plain, but bore her suffering
with Christian fortitude, and
seemed to be resigned to the
will of the Lord. She was a
good wife and neighbor, and a
fond, loving III other, a woman
of rare Christian character and
loved by all who knew her, and
those who knew her best loved
her most. She leaves a hus.
band, one son and one daughter
to mourn their loss. The love
and devotion of the daughter
was quite touching. During
her mothers long illness she
never tired of administering to
her every want and care, and
her netcc, whom she has raised
since infancy, was as devoted to
her as daughter. May God in
his mercy guard and guide them
through life, and may they all
meet at last in Heaven where
parting is no more. We extend
Dur heartfelt sympathy to the
oereaved ones.
M lonely since my mother died:
Tho friends and kindred gather near
cannot check the rising sigh
Or stay the heartfelt silent tear.
Of earthly friends she was the best
My erring youthful steps to guide.
)h, do not smile because l weep
I'm lonely since my mother died.
You may not deem it brave Or strong
To let these tears so often flow, 1
But those who've lost mothers love
Can tell the pain of my sad woe.
Gould but call her back again !
And kneel once more down by her
side
ID love her better than before
I'm lonely since my mother died.
Oh, you who have a mother dear,
Let not word Or act give pain,
But cherish, love her with your life
You ne'er can have her like again.
hen when she's called from you away .
Across Deaths dark and troubled
tide,
II pain with me you need not say
I'm lonely since my mother died.
