In Memoriam.

Died, on Wednesday night, February 81
1901, Mary Agnes, infant daughter OF VIM
W. and Agnes Blanche Mobey, aged two
months.
The little sweetheart to US was lent,
Which we thought to us WAS given,
The little life so quickly spent,
10 dwell with God In Heaven.
We would not that she had died,
We would not to give her up,
But TO know she lives at Jesus side
WIN sweeten the bitter cup.
The will of God must be the best,
To which We all will agree,
The little form sweetly at rest,
And the little soul set free.
No more a captive in distress,
In this world of sorrow and pain,
For now she lives among the blest,
Not to visit this earth again.
Oh may we meet our little love,
When the cares of life are DER,
In that celestial home above,
Where parting is no more.
We left her in her silent tomb,
In silent, sweet repose,
We know she will in Heaven bloom,
A precious little rose.
BY her Mother.
1t Is with feelings of profound sympathy
that we attempt to record the death OF Miss
Agatha W, King, beloved daughter of Mrs
Elizabeth and the late F. s. King, which oc-
Cured on January End, 1901, at her home,
near Cedar Grove, In the nth year Of her age
She had been in delicate health for SO veral
months, but so insidious was the progress Of
the dread disease, consumption, as TO be
scarcely perceptible. All that medical skill
and loving friends could do to restore her
failing health was done, and buoyed up by
Hope, whose mission 1t is to soothe the ach-
ing heart, they no doubt looked forward to
the time when her health should be fully re-
stored, until on Christmas Eve she grew sud-
denly worse. In the early morn, thus early
in the new year, Just as the sunny spring.
time Of her life was bringing forth golden
hued buds OF promise the "silver chord" OF
life was loosened, ''the golden bowp' that
contained the priceless treasure of an immor-
tai soul was broken and her pure spirit took
its flight to God who gave It,
We lenderly sympathise with the bereaved
family 10 their afiliction, and to the sorrow
ing mother. whose heart Is torn and bleeding,
we can offer the heartfelt sympathy Of a
mother who has known the anguish of hRv-
ing loved child torn from her emb race by
the same relentless tyrant
The funeral service was OF the most solemn
and impressive character. As the procession
moved slowly up the aisle the snowy casket
borne by six young men, all cousins Of the
loved one 30 soon to be hid from mortal sight,
preceded by six young ladies, also her cousina
OF near her own age, dressed in white, sing
ing sweetly aud sOlemnly-
"Shall we gather at the river
Where bright angel feet have trod
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne Of God,
we were reminded of the angelic choir on
high, aud the pearly gates and jasper wa ls
OF the New Jerusalem seemed very near and
very real.
Rev. X. e. Marshall, of Clarksburg N. n
Church. preached an able and impressive ser
mon to a large cOncourse Of sympathxiug
friends, and then after one last, long, linger-
ing look of friends and relatives at the loved
face, beautiful in death as in life, her re-
mains were borne TO their last resting place,
as the beautiful refrain again sounded low
and sweet
Eyes, we'll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river
Gather with the saints at the river,
That flows by the throne OF God"

Salem NJ. u. Church.
''She has gone to the grave, but we will moi
deplore her,
Since God was her Ransom, her Guardian,
her Guide
He gave her, He took her, and He will re-
store her;
And death has no sting since the Saviour
hath died" L.L.M.
