A LOVING TRIBUTE In Memory of tho late J. Kaudolph Wutkles by his Bevoted Wire, L1DIB DOWNEY WATKINS. Oh, I.ovo! forever, and so dear. What toara in vain hath bathed thy tomb; Could thoy retard death's entrance bore, I still could cluim theo in our home. Thou still wouldst bvo to bless my eight, But could thy spirit hover nigh, "Iwould give mo semblance of delight; Though In tho grave thy form must lie. Recorded on my aching heart, Aro pangs no pen hath power to toll; How did I near from thee to part? How look my last and long farewell? Oh; when I know that thou wast dead, And 1 was doomed to lonely life; I wondorcd if tho tears I shed Called thee to linger near thy wife. Oh, did your lovinsr spirit clinsr, Unto your weeping household band? Or did you husto on seraph wing To view tho upper land? And then to come somo other day And toll us of tho glories there, That we might then ho glad to say? Tlsbost, his home is bright and fair. Why mourn when gi ief avails me not, Though none like theo my lifo can cheer, Around thy now-made resting spot No ono Should shed a bitter tear. Thou art at rest, thy noblo soul Hath passed tho valley of tho grave; Thou art where peace hath full control, Chance pleading Christ earth's Iovop to savo. Who knows but In this weight I hear Are gems of worth to help mo home, Where unto us a mut ual share Of eudloss bliss and joy shall come. Thou who in wisdom deemed it just To leave me desolate?alone: And o'er my lot this anguish thrust, Wilt Thou not guido mo safely on? To Thoo I pour my hearts deep strain, Grateful that Thou such bliss did'st glvo E'en for so short a time;?again 1 trust in Heaven wo'll meet and live. Pain would I lloo to that bright place, And mingle with the sainted blest, And meet my loved ono face to face; I long for peace and joy and rest. But Lord, how vain, how vain'? forgive!? Would I forgot? ?Thy way is best! Oh, holp modo my part aud live, A mother's part!?and then be blest. In knowing that 1 fondly led Our Jamie In a manly way, And baby Ruth with sunshine shed O'er hor young life each coming day, It seems I'll need Theo more since ho Has gone to dwell with Theo above. Let his pure spirit come to me, Bearing me heavenly peace and love. I would not simply, vainly pray, Suroly I would not muriner still, 1 fcol 'tis woll, and know some day I'll fully trust thy sacred will.
