DIED of chronic abscess and dropsy, Jan. 29, 1864, in West Winsted Ct., after a long and painful illness, our dear sister, Lucy A. Beckley, aged 34 years.

Sr. Beckley embraced the Sabbath twelve years ago last Autumn She clung to the truth to the last and at the time of her death was enabled to exclaim with the patriarch, "I know that my Redeemer liveth."

Farewell dear sister, sweetly rest, Low in thy narrow peaceful bed No more shall grief invade thy breast Nor pain distract thy weary head.

Our glorious King will soon appear And call thee from the cheerless tomb, The blissful morn is drawing near When he who is our life shall come.

Then may we meet in heaven above, Where all these partings will be o'er, There to rejoice in Jesus' love And dwell with him for ever more.

WM. H. GRAHAM.
