ing lines inscribed to her memory
by the pastor are here appended by
request of the relatives
Ins sorrows hour we find relief
In Him whoknows the depth Of grief
Which bows us down beneath It's load
Yet points us to the heavenly road
Along whose way our friends have passed
And on which we have seen them last
The Comforter, who knows the pain
Which must in future years remain
Until we, too, shall follow on
The way our dearest friends have gone
Has promised with us TO abide
And help us stem the swelling tide
OF feeble years and hours dark
TIN we on Jordans tide embark,
Then safely to the farther shore
Our pilot, Jesus, takes us DER
| we luNt lilt Allt Wuuat clust oi lulb
We lovingly commemorate,
But while on features fixed we gaze
In grasp Of death, in coffin case,
Remember that our loved ones soul
, Has fitted to the heavenly goal
Among the few who do their best
This faithful one, consigned to rest
} Beneath the cemetery sod
: Is numbered, as she loved her God
And tried for Him to spend her days
, To add to His eternal praise\
Content that Gods last call had come
Her soul took flight to yonder home.
l Where sorrow pain and death are past
And life's in happier regions cast
Tho sorely missing here the life
Which added Brightness TO our own
Wen hope beyond this vale of strife
To meet around our Fathers throne.

Keep Do Balance Up

It has been truthfully said that
any disturbance Of the even balance
of health causes serious trouble.
Nobody can be too careful to keep
this balance up. When people begin
to lose appetite, or TO get tired easily
the least imprudence brings on siok-
ness, weakness or debility. The
system needs a tonic, Graves it, and
should not be denied it and the best
tonic Of which we have any knoWl-
edge is Hood 3 Sarsaparilla What
this medicine has done IN keeping
healthy people healthy, 10 keeping
up the even balance Of health, gives
&c the same distinction as a preven-
tive that it enjoys as a cure. It's
early use has illustrated the wisdom
of the old saying that a stitch IN
time saves nine. Take Hoods fOl
appetite, strength and endurance,
