When we see a precious blossom,
That we cherished with such care.
Rudely taken from our home
How our aching hearts despair.
Around his grave we linger.
Till the setting sun is low.
Till all our hopes have perished
With the flower we cherisned so.
Day by day we saw him fade,
And fast he sank away.
Still in our hearts we earnestly
prayed
That he might longer stay.
One we loved so dear has died and
left us
For the dark and silent tomb.
We have thy life for an example.
A life of true honesty and love.
And we know that if we follow.
We shall reach that home above,
A shortJife, but, oh how sweet!
That life without a taint.
Then to rest at Jesus feet.
And be content in a heaven a saint.

seemed to realize from the first that
he would never rec >ver, but saW he
did not fear to go if God saw fit to
take him. His only regret was leav
ing his faithful and loving compan

be sent for. A short while before
the last he looked from one to an
other of his loved ones and said “Good
bye all” and raised his arm* to caress
them as they bade him farewell. He
was conscious to the last and passed
away without a struggle.
The deceased was bern in Colleton
County, Oct. 23,1845.

He leaves a wife, four sons and
two daughters.
One son, Frank, proceeded him to
the brighter world only six weeks.
He also left a glorious testimony as

love.—Said Mother don’t weep for

my sins, and I’m ready to go: Tell

Formed for the good alone;
And faith behold* the dying here,
