The sad intelligence reached your
Correspondent on the evening of the
18th of the death of Una May Hill
man, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas HilIman, ID years of age.
The death of young person always
awakens in me great deal of emo
ton. When we gaze for the last
time upon the face of person still in
the sleep of death it is sad indeed.
However, we have a blessed conso-
lation OF knowing that while our
poor hearts are bursting with grief
that the melody of heaven is sweeter
by having had added to that great
Angelic Choir the voice of our loved
one. Hope springs eternally in the
bosom of man and without it the
human heart would be, indeed a
most wretched and desolate stretch
of desert land Death! Oh, what a
beautiful word to that tired soul
which has been tossed to and fro up
on the restless crest of earths billowy
deep, but tenaciously chung to the
promises of God, for we'll it knows
that ere long life's tide will flow to-
wards the glittering shores Of peace,
and land in the realms of bliss,
where earth's shams are forgotten
and Heavens beauties are everlast-
ing. Yo'r Correspondent extends
his deepest sympathies to Mr., and
Mrs. Hillman i'll the loss they have
sustained.
