/ the exception of a few months He was
stricken with tuberculosis five years ago,
/ but patient and tender care brought him
safely through this one. only to be strick-
en- by two more attacks, the last attack
occurring while he was at work in Wells
River last December All that loving
hands could do was graciously given, but
his strength was insufficient. He attend
ed school on Depot hill, and the flag that

former days was tribute TO his efforts.

A beautiful poem was composed on
his death by Miss A. n, Dawley Of Mont
pelier. entitled Consolation
Say, +He is not dead. but sleepeth,' to
awake in land more fair;
For the loving Father keepeth His chill
dren with tender care.
And in that home celestial, in heavenly
graces sweet.
Shall grow from things terrestrial they
whom we soon shall meet.
There is "only thin veil between us"
the land of the here and there,
And the same loving kindness rules DER |
us-the same tender compassion
and care.
The coming Of death opes a portal to
heavenly mansions above;
To the home of spirits immortal, where |
reigneth pure wisdom and love.
Be certain earth's shadows are feeting |
time heals the Borrowing heart;
And sweeter the joy of the meeting,
because of the rending apart.
Through trials we gain joys supernal,
through death, the home of the
soul;
And upward is progress eternal, while
onward eternities roll.
Oh, dwell in the thought of that glad
ness, in the knowledge of labor
well done,
And not the gloom and the sadness,
but in the light and warmth of the
SUN,
Oh, live in the thought OF the morrow,
making each day ever the best;
So helping to Danish earth sorrow, nor
doubling take thought of the rest.
To-day, thy path may seem dreary, joy
quenehed in fountain of tears;
Thy heart and soul may be weary, with
thoughts of long, coming years.
But, as 'seedtime and harvest" are GER
tain, as sure as parting gives pain,
So sure, when death lifts the curtain,
shall YOU be united again.
