In Memorlnm. Death has again invaded another hap? py home and grasped in" its icy embrace the sweet spirit of Matlie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Eskew, aged 1G years. Death is sad under all circumstances, but when it comes to one so young, bo useful in life, and with such bright pros? pects it is doubly sad. She was taken sick on Tuesday night and e're the sun sank to rest on Monday afternoon next she was sleeping in the tomb. Dear Matlie. is it so That thou so soon from us hast gone; Oh, how we hate to give thee up, But wc must drink the bit er cup Of grief and woe thy dcth shall bring, Oh, how tho thought in our bosom rings. Three years ago she gave her heart to her Saviour and since that time she has been a faithful member for Christ The happy home circle we know is broken but the bereaved family have the sym? pathy of all who know them, and "they weep not as those who have no hope," for they know their darling is now sweet? ly sleeping in the arms of Jesus. They can now only sec through a glass darkly but hereafter they will know why this precious blossom was plucked from earth and transplanted to bloom in heaven None knew this dear girl but to love her, for by her sweet disposition she won the love of everyone. Her voice will be missed from the choir in her church and she will be missed as a pupil in Sunday School and as organist, for she was al? ways at ber place of duty. When dying, though writning in pain and gasping for breath, she pointed one finger upward as If to say to those wooping around her bed? side, "My homo will be up yonder." Sbo was laid to rost in Prospect grave? yard at 5 o'clock Monday afternoon amidst a host of friends and relatives, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. H, Ii. Fant, aud it was with aching hearts and stilled sobs that they listened as the organ sobbed forth its low, sad requiem, "Sweet Heaven," her favorite song, and one she was last heard to sing. And now we can only say to tho father, mother, brothers and sistor, live so that on the morn of the resurrection you will be gathered together as one happy family. Thy gcntlo voice is hu hed, Thy warm truo heart is still; And on thy young and innocent brow Is rcstiog death's cold chill. Thy hands are claspei upon thy breast, We have kissed thy lovely brow; And In our aching hearts wo know We have no Mattle now. _ CoRINE. Card of Thanks.
