taking, from them their bright little
daughter, Mary Elizabeth, aged eleven

child died Friday evening about seven
o'clock, after a brief illness, land was
buried Saturday at six. The funeral
service was conducted by (Rev. Dr.
Weaver. During his remarks he re-
i' i
cited the following hymn, the senti
ment of which is so beautiful that we
print it in full:
Go to thy rest, fair child I
Go to thy dreamless bed,
Gentle, and meek, and mild,
With blessings on thy head;
Fresh roses in thy hand,
Buds on thy pillow laid,
Haste from this blighting and,
Where flow'rs so quickly fade.
Before thy heart could learn
In waywardness to stray;
Before thy feet could turn Ii
The dark and downward way;
Ere sin could wound thy breast.
Or sorrow wake the tear!; ,
Rise to thy home of rest,
In yon celestial sphere!
Because thy smile was fair.
Thy lip and eye so bright,
Because thy cradle-care
Was such a fond delight
Shall love, with weak embrace,
Thy heavenward flight detain?
No, angel! seek thy place
Amid yon cherub train.
