IN MEMORIAM.

Mrs. Lena Terrell Weller in the Dan vile Bee.
 Between two worlds life hovers like a 'Twixt night and morn''
 In hours like these, when all the world is far away and the sunshine about us is unbrightened and stands alone in it's halo of joy. the heart is stricken dumb for Time, the great High Priest of eter- nifty, has gathered from life's fair garden a flower perfected, Jamie sutherlin Bar rett, our dearest and most loved friend and companion, one so pure and true, whose affections were as mortal dew and to know her well proved the sweet ness of what a life should be. From the clambering vines of humanity has been plucked the most choice bloom, rleh Tn it's beauty of existence, and taken 10 the realms above in all the funness of lovely womanhood, our dearest friend, the heavenly spirits earthly twin. To know and to love her was like the 10" of an unsung song; to lose her is a mys- tery and unfathomed secret beyond the power of human thought; taken when all was so bright. and existence had as stunned a still brighter phase in the form of a dear little baby girl. now left with out mothers love. To die the beauti1ui death, while wanting to live, fully con- scious of her condition, yet resigned with out fear to leave all whom she loved to see the beautiful face on which the very smile of angels played, as she lay there surrounded by husband grand mother. friends and the science of emi- nent physicians, knowing one and all yet cognizant that the angels were reaching down and she would soon be in the heavenly choir-Oh! the grandeur of such a going away from earthly habitatfon, the last breath here breathing of the perfect peace of immortality.
 How sweet this friendship that has left It's mark in passing along the intervale of life how precious the love that's gone out like tide and left us alone on the bar. where the bright waves will come no more. Death, at whose hands we find our noblest birth, has freed our dear friend from the swaddling clothes of and laid her tenderly, lovingly, in Gods arm.
 Time. which steals so mueh from iIu- man joys, has robbed us of thy fair i'm. age, Jamie girl, but left the tint thai ne'er can be destroyed, and on memory's golden easel will stand, In that rare per lection that was thine, a dear face IT whose eyes grew and budded the sweet est of smiles that bloomed always foi those you loved.
 "The Joy of having known thee twine'
 always,
 And filings OCT crumbling hopes ant
 wasting fears
 A radiance that defies decay"
 Born, reared, married and died In oui midst. at the home of her grandmother where everything cireled and centered fol her welfare and happiness, giving pleas ure to her fellow-being, a life blended with the Christian harmonies. Taken il the fullness of life, before the twiligh or autumn of existence even begun, leav ing behind her an immortal picture of al that is bright and beautiful; a knowl edge of a life sweetened by sympathy affection and charity. And such she was gliding on and glimmering like a brigh star at home and abroad, and as sh neared that nearing hour when Time be comes Eternity, 1t was but as a good night, as one who climbs the stairs ant waits back a smile which breathes O sweet communion with God an informa going from human fellowship unto tina higher fellowship that year by year Wi grow more dear.
