In MEMORIAM.

SEYMoUR-In memory of nv dear
mother, Jane T. Seymour, who departed
this life 18th of December, 1894. l6 years
ago.
My mother is sleeping,
How sweet the rest
That now is hers beyond the wave.
Beyond the storms that wildly rage
She sweetly sleeps and she is blest.
How sweet TO steal away from strife
And sleep on natures breast,
To leave a weary troubled life
And go to endless rest.
How sweet to lay the burden down
That here cross was given,
And bear the crown of life away
AND ilve e'er more In Heaven.
Dear mother, in thy home above.
Could not wish you here,
For you are safely sheltered home,
Secure from every fear.
Alone unto our Fathers will.
One thought has reconciled,
That He whose love exceedeth ours
Has taken home His child.
Fold her, o Father, in thine arms
And let her henceforth be
messenger of love
Between our human hearts and Thee.
By her loving daughter,
ANNIE.
