In Memary of
CLINTON ALMCN,

-
So sad and lonely is our home,
A voice we loved is still;
1fssie,is enc from Us is gone,
Our hearts with grief are filled.
For weeks and months cloud
had gathered.
And our hearts with grief would
swell,
For the dear one who in pain
had fingered,
Suffered more than we can tell.
And we saw him grow more
feeble,
Weaker, weaker every day;
And we knew that we must
bear it,
For he soon must pass away.
And Oh! how sad it seemed to
know,
AS we give to him our care,
That soon we'd pass into this
room,
And md no Clinton there.
Now as about the house we
wander,
We can find here many Il trace
OF his dear, busy fingers
But we miss his smiling face.
Grief will sometimes overcome
us,
While we sit and think alone,
Of the land beyond times
ShaCoW-
In the fiushCf youth les gone.
Those who never had the trial,
Sometimes fancy that they know,
What woul ] be their grief and
sorrow,
When their friends are called to
We have learned from expert
ence
The deep meaning of bereft,
That we never knew till Clin-
ton
Had TO go and we were left.
What affords the greatest com
fort
Through each dark and lonely
day,
Is we know that he was ready,
Well prepared to 80 away.

The little calves are friskine

And roaming round in herds.

And also uncle Jake

Gee whiz! but they are late.
