Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.

DIED, in Olcott, N. Y., Dec. 29, 1867, of consumption, Elmer L., infant son of Varney B., and Charlotte L. Gaskill, aged nearly eight months.

Think of the grave as his cradle bed, And call the snow his little spread, And say that he now is hushed in sleep, And only for pain that he suffered, weep. And let bright hopes of the future heal The pangs of parting which now you feel. For know when you reach the city fair, In rosy health he will greet you there, E. O. L.

DIED, Nov. 7, 1867, in the town of Greece, Monroe Co., N. Y., of injuries received by the running away of his team, Geo. W. Chafin, aged 54 years. Bro. C. has observed the Sabbath for the last fourteen years. He was anxious to live to see the Lord come, and has been trying to purify himself through the health reform, and obedience to the truth. He had gained a complete victory over tobacco. His attendance in our Sabbath meetings was regular, and his last testimony cheering and good. A large concourse attended the services on the occasion.
