stricken with that dreadful disease.
consumption. She was sick only a few
days and was attended by two of the
best physicians Of the town, who, like
friends and relatives, did all in their
power to stay the hands OF death. But
God in his wisdom saw At to call her
from this carnal world to sleep in the
mother earth until the resurrec-

Only a few years ago she united with

In school Madge was.kind and effec-

upon her mortal being and it now
sleeps silently beneath the sod.
We loved her, yes we loved her,
But Angels loved her more;
And they have sweetly called her,
To yonder shining shore.
The golden gates were open,
A gentle voice said come;
And with iareWells unspoken,
She calmly entered home.
She leaves three brothers, two sisters
and q host Of relatives and friends to
her untimely death. May the
