LINES ON THE ABOVE.

Dead! how our sad hearts quiver as that word strikes the ear, Knowing that it is spoken of one to us so dear; So patient in thy trial ’twas meet that thou should’st rest, God gave and he hath taken, oh! let his name be blest. From the heart’s sacred fountain gush out hot tears of grief, Nor can the world’s vain pleasures e’er bring to us relief; Naught but the Saviour’s promise now can allay our pain, He from the vale of shadows saith thou shalt come again. James C. Clemens.
Died, of typhoid fever, at Council Grove, Kan., Aug. 21, 1876, Edward Samuel, son of John S. and Sarah A. Wise, aged eight years. Bro. and Sr. Wise mourn not as those without hope; but casting their care upon Him who careth for them, expect to meet their Eddie in the morning of the first resurrection. J. Lamont.
