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.
