Friends may think We might in time tor

And our wounded hearts would quickly
heal
Bat they litrle know the bitter sorrow
That's within oCr deepest hearts eon-
cealed
Al the misery % that dreary day.
When We stood around hiE bed.
TIL death stole upon him softly,
And re knew his soul had fed.
Ali since then our lives are sadcened,
since that day our hopes arr slain;
But his voice seems sweetly saying
'.Cou-Age--we shall meet again
AID your pains dear Eustaee, no. are over.
+ Every restless hour and sorrow passed
+ You arr now al blissiuI peace forever,
safely hone snd happy in heaven at rest.
Papa and Mamma, when the Tiolets are
open,
When the trees in beRnty wave.
Take dear ittle Hanriord,
Lead him 10 brother grave.
Tell him while the birds are slnging'
And the blDssom deck the sod,
That his brothers soul Il resting
In the paradise nj God
