join the Heavenly land. She was
borne Nov. Ifl P. 02 and died Aug.
I I P.O 3. The funeral service was
conducted by our pastor Rev. J. W.
j Reese at Ml. Calvary cemetery.
Our darling babe is feone hut not
forgotten.
Never will all her memories fade,
The sweetest thoughts will al
ways linger,
Round the little grave, where
she wa ; laid,
Oh! Those little ice cold finger*,
How they point our memories
luck,
'l'o otti hasty words and actions,
That streams along our backward
tracks,
How those precious hands re
mind u
As in her snowy grave they lie,
Not to scatter t horns, but roses.
For our reaping bye and bye,
'Tis so sad, to see our little darl
ing
That we tended with such care,
Rudely taken from our bosom,
Mow our aching hearts despair,
She is sleeping, hut not for-ever,
For there be a glorious dawn,
We shall meet her, to part no
never,
On the resurrection morn,
Blessed he the Lord that took her
Blessed he the Lord that gave,
In that bright Eternal City,
Death can never, no never come,
In his own good time He'll call us
From our suffering to home sweet
home,
Oh, we loved her, yes we loved
her.
But our saviour loved her mo°t.
So the Angels sweetly called her,
To that bright and happy shore.
