IN MEMORIAM.
Peace' The silence of a painless peace Has settled on the tender frame where dwelt A pure sweet spirit for a little while. Our Father took hei, knowing whit it best, An^ we who bide beneath the sullen cloud, Seeing but dimly, sorrow. O Hut v. c Could see the glories that are hidden from Tear-blinded eyes, and feel the blesscdnes3 Of those whose wearied bodies are at rest; Clasping the holy feet of Him who saith: "I am the Resurrection and the Life. ' The glories of our immortality, The pleo-sant fields and streams of Paradise, The melodies unheard of mortal ears — These are abqafc her, wherefore should we weep Ncr feel he • crultation, knowing that soon Our spirits shall follow whither liers ha. flown ' Charles Oscar Palmer. Brent wood Farm, March 11.
