IN MEMORIAM.

~>-~~~-~-~~~-~-~-~O~~----~
MORGAN.-Died. during the night of
Friday, 18th January, Mrs. Ellen Morgan,
leaving a husband and five children to
mourn her irreparable loss.
Knowing that the end was near. she
waited, patiently for the messenger, for
death to her had scarce a pang so ripe
her soul for heaven. Loving hands ad-
ministered to her wants, scattering the
blossoms of affection over the pillow of
disease, thus making her passage to the
tomb beautiful and lovelit pathway
I'VE watched her breathing through the
night.
Her breathing soft and low,
AS in her breast the wave of life
Kept heaving TO and fro.
Our very hopes belied our fears,
Our fears our hopes beIied,
We thought her dying when she slept,
And sleeping when she died.
