All AFFECTIONATE REMEMBRANCE.
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. For hor, who will como novoruiore.
