Paraiso met death under falling

days before issued invitations to
their mothers friends to come on

a big time was in store for her.

A voice they loved is still;
A place is vacant in her home,
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled,
The boon his love had given
And though the body slumbers here
The soul is safe in heaven.
Dear children, try not to weep,
Nor our thy mother as dead.
But e her rest and sweetly sleep
In Christ our living head.
Dear husband, let not they grief

Wipe off that rising tear,
Look up to where thy wife has kbna
And strive to meet her there.

a very economical disposition and
two prepossessing daughters who

Sunday afternoon two youths went
out to see these two fair damsels.
They were cordially received, de-
lightfully entertained and when
supper-time came they were in
vited to partake of the evening
meal. Supper-time over, they still
fingered. Bedtime came, they
still tarried.
The old lady, used to early hours
went to her slumbers, but the two
young lei had no fault to find
with that. Waking from a sleep
of a couple of hours and seeing {
