Died, Wednesday, 18th, 1901. This is a bright, glad, beautiful world, fragrant with the odor of flowers; tuneful with the Bongs of birds; resplendent with the glo ries of earth and sea and sky, and yet its attractions now are un noticed by us, for grim, merciless death has appeared in our home and snatched from us our father and husband. Our sky is hung with black and sombre cloud-cur tains. Our vision is o ’ey oast with the gloom of sorrow, and every sound that strikes our eays has 1 in it a cadence of despair. Without l the presence of the loved one, who has gone before, the'world indeed seems empty and cheerless, and in our hearts there is a dreary, dismal, aching void. The only consolation we have is the sweet realization that our beloved is at peace. The one upon whom we lavish ed our affection is now in that land “Where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest.” Bending over the coffin, looking at the folded hands, which will never clasp ours again iu this world; gazing upon the closed eyes in which we will never more .see our image reflected, our scald ing tears fall, as we realize that out earthly Father is gone forev er from this world.. And the only consolation is that our hearts’ idol has heard the words from the Father’s lips, “Well done, thou good and faith ful servant, enter thou into the joys of thy Lord. ” Our consolation is formed in a consideration that our treasure is in Heaven. The poor, worn frame will nev er more be racked with the ago nies of pain; suffering is{ at an end. But ’twill only be a little while until we will cross the dark river and join our loved father amoug the hosts of the saved on the oth er shore. Dearest Father, thou has left us, And our loss we deeply feel, But ’tis God that has bereft us, Be oim u!l our sorrows heal. Yet again wo hope to meet thee, When the day of life has- tied; Then in Heaven with joy to greet thee, Where no fare-well tears ,ate shed. Devoted Daughter, M.
