IN MEMORIAM.

WHILE. In sad and loving memory
of our dear father and husband, WM
NJ. WHILE, who departed this life -four
weeks ago, and who has gone to resi-
in that beautiful home not made by
hands.
Silently sleeping in the graveyard,
Lies the one we loved so we'll;
Ii twas hard to lie him down there
Twas Gods will and none can tell
Just the reason that He called him
In His mansion there to- dwell.
But our homes and aims are conferred,
For Heaven, there'll be no farewell.
Yet we think of all our dear ones
That on earth are called away;
Our hearts are crushed now always
When We think of that sad day.
How hard to give our dear one up,
No human tongue can tell,
Yet as we gazed on his peaceful features
We knew that all was well.
BY HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER, ID. III.
RUSSELL. sad bat loving re-
memberance of my dear little sister,
TERESA RUSSELL
Dear is the grave where yon are laid,
Sweet is the memory that never shall
fade;
Flowers may wither, leaves fade and
die.
Though others forget you, never
shall /.
We shall never cease 10 love you,
Though your form be in the dust;
And some day We hope 70 meet you
To this and IN God wa fFraSt
