IN MEMORY OF ISALENE, D.L.F.,

Who fell asleep September 26, 1905. Sleep on, beloved— the sleep that knows no

waking To earthly sorrow or to earthly strut; For thee, beyond the azure sky is breaking, The glorious dawn of everlasting lite. Ibis life was short for thoe— so shoit and Its morning scarce had broken into day, When silent voices wafted th*e a greeting, And wooed thy spirit from the ear^h away. Far, far away, beyond the reach of sadness, Beyond the reach of sorrow and of sin, Away to that fair land where all is gladness, For naught that maketh sad can enter m. Thou art not dead, beloved— only sleeping, Sleeping sj sweetly, still, and jmv, and white, . Angels o'er thee a loving watch are rfeep'H?.,, And so we bid you, dear, a soft "gcod-nig.it. Until we- meet beyond the shining river, "Beyond the shadows"— in the clearei light, "Where we shall live again in joy for ever— Good-night, my comrade, dear, good-night, good-night!

Jessica.
