A FRIENDS TRIBUTE.
To Mrs. Hannah B. Talley. Wife OF
John W. Talley.

One of the most mysterious and m
scrutable dispcnsations of Providence
is the apparently cruel and needless
taking of a young, loveable and useful
member of society from among her friends
on earth and transplanting her III Para
disc To the Garden of Eternal Love.
We often fail to see what compensates
for the grief. the intense hcart-ache
and the abjcct misery OF such loss.
The death of Mrs Hannah B. Talley,
wife of John W. Tallcy, which occurrel
on Saturday morning, prompts us to
these sad reflections. Surrounded and
loved by family and friends, beautiful
in mind and character and person, she
seemed to have every promise of a long,
useful and happy life. That it should
have been otherwise moves us almost
to rebellion.
But alas. we can see so small part
of the whole pattern of life, fashioned
bv the Great Designer that VIC must
humbly accept our loss and with courage,
hope and faith,
Remember always that our darkest sor-
MAY be but the dawn of blissful NOR
row.
