Tho following lines, written by request of Miss May Harris, aro respectfully dedicat ed to Mr. and Mrs. F. F. Fisher, in memory of their duughter, Emily, who died at New ark, Ohio, January l, 1601, aged lf years. She sickened and died while tho roses Were abloom on her cheek, young and fair; And she whispered these sweet words at parting: a "Trust m Oodand you'll meet mo up there, In that heavenly home, celestial, Whoso pearly gates stand ajar, For tho pure in heart to enter Where sorrow no'er comes to mar." Oh I tho anguish and sorrow at parting, From tho ono we loved fondly and dear; Orief-stricken, wo wept for our darling, While death was approaching so near; Yet she calmly awaited tho summons, That would call her from oarth faraway. And it came as tho last beams of sunlight, Wore foretelling tho closo of tho day. Wo laid her to rest with hands folded, While mute wore tho lips, cold and white; Each heart-throb was freighted witli an guish, When our loved ono was hidden from sight; And the futuro looms darkly beforo ua All happiness in llfo is now o'er, While our hoarts aro filled with deep yearn ing.
