IN MEMORIAM.
BROWNE.— loving remembrance of Ellen, the dearly beloved wife of William franklin Browne, aged 45 years, who died at Whakatane, in the Ray of Plenty, on Sunday, 26th May, from typhoid fever contracted while she was ministering to the wants of the sick and suffering Maoris, many of whose lives she saved at the cost of her own. She died, deserving to bo mourned, While parted worth a pang can give. She died, by Heaven's best gifts adorned, While folly, falsehood, baseness, live. Yet, who shall blame the heart that feels, When Heaven resumes the good it gave; Yet, who shall scorn the tear that falls From affection's eye at virtue's grave.
