Isi Memoriiuii.
In memory of dear friend, May, daugh
ter of Col and Mrs George R. Briggs.
A t the ear.y hour of six o’clock a. iu.,
while the dew drops of heaven were still
lingering for a farewell caress, and while
over many homes the sunshine of gladness
shed its lingering rays; our little town was
wraped in a mantle of deepest gloom, that
seemed in those dark hours of despair,
would never again be penetrated by a ray
of light, for God in his infinite liad called
from earth to heaven sweet May Briggs, in
all of her beauty, youth and girlhood.
When the snows of life’s winters have
whitened the once raven tresses, and the
perfume of its flowers is but their dying
breath; eaven then ’lis sad to see loved
age sink into the tomb- but liow bard ;
how soul paralizing, when death so early
in life, alinostbefore it can be said; Thou
hast the dew of thy youth.
But while it is hard to give her up , we
feel that our loss is her gain. We know
that she lias jus' passed through the valley
of the shadow of death into the bright sun
shine of God’s own p, senee, and nas e*
capcd the weariness, the trials and temp
tations of ibis life, and who can say;
though sorrow laden we be that it is not
better so?
I know too web, words cannot comfort;
for, through the infinite wisdom of God, I
was called upon to pass through the dark,
deep and hitter waters of affliction.
But where Christ brings his cross, II? la
so brings his presence, and where lie is
none are desolate, and there is no room
for dispair. At thedarkest wefeel a hand,
closer perhaps and more tender than
any touch drumpt of at noon. As lie
knows his own, so He knows how comfort
them; using sometimes, the very grief it
self and staining it to the sweetness of a
faitli; unattainable to those ignorant of
any grief.
But oh how sad, how heart rending to
give up those wc love, to see the dear forms
we loved cold and lifeless; the eye that had
so often beamed with love and kindness
dim and sightless, and those dear lips clos.
yd f .rever whose sweet accents we had so
often listened to.
Let us by the grace of God r.-lonh!-- our
efforts to meet Her over the d-tri: river of
death where there will be no more parting,
sorrow, pain or death. There dear May
we shall not see thee in thy casket or in the
hidden gloom of the grave, but cloth; -I in
bright am! deathless bloom. Alive.
We shall expect you to pay your
subscription to the Br"' /Kurt vc-k.

yer of his native G w dan town, Tin
zlchurst. Should >lect to mal-r
San Jose his bom , "and Mrs
Smith will be a•. .hi wide acquisition to
local society circles.
Is never done, and it is especially wearier;
and wearisome to those whose biood is
impure and unlit properly to* tone, sus
tain, and renew the wasting of nerve,
muscle and tissue. It is more because of
tliis condition of the blood that women
are run down,
Tired, Weak, Nervous,
Than because of the work itself. Every
physician says so, and that the only rem

nerve tonic, blood purifier and vitalizes
