With crashed and bleeding hearts, we afjod by the new made grave of our faiber, Mr. D- A. Stanford, who died in the fifty, thlid year of his age, March 19th, 19U0. Just as the meridian is reached gone out. The Angel Reaper has removed from earth ly cares to tbo realms of everlasting bliss, the son! of onr much loved father; God has called and he has entered into the Gre*fc Beyond and is now resting at tbe feet of the Master. It seemed to us that he might have been spared, that death lies on him like an un timely frost; but some sweet day, we shall see how God is keeping from ns now life’s sweetest things because it seeioeth good. Tbe summons was sudden, without a mo ment’s warning, but f<uid him ready; death had do terror for papa, he tnly hated to leave us, that was all; for truly it has been said, “There is something in the parting hour Will chill the warmest heart, Yet kindred, comrades, lovers, friend-*, Are # ated nil to part; But this I’ve seen and many a pang ltas pressed it on my mind- The one who gcs is happier Thau those he leaves behind*” There is a v&< a it place iu our hearts and home that can never be filled ; of coyirse God does all things bent, but our bereave ment j s too recent for us to feel it is well. Thou art gone, dear papa, to tbe land of rest — Gone from this world of toil and csre ; Thy Father hath called thee-He knew it was best— Hath taken thee home its hi Jght glories to share. But Oh! how we mine thee and grieve at thy borne— Thy footstep aud voice fall no more on tho car; Alone as it were in this sad world to roam No husband, no father, tocherish us here. Bo aith grief.stricken heat tv mourn thee wo we must; But in meicy a hopeful assurance ia given; Tho’ thy form lies sleeping--.dust unto dost. Thy spirit's at rest in Heaven, sweet Heaven Thy hands lie ho still, thy work is all done, Thy toils arc ul> ended—the narrow path tn and - battle is fought, the victory is won, And thou art safe iu the city off God. We ran not forget thoe, but bid thee adieu, •Till we meet thee again on that raUiaul shore; And join in the singing of songs ever new, Iu praising our God forever evermore. We thy loved ones are grieving, hut across the oold stream, Thou art watching aud waiting to wel come m home. When we’ve wrestled and toiled and thro with life’s dream, Thou wilt tenderly, lovingly, say to ns “Como,” Ilia Children. ANNOUNCEMENT!.
