DIED, Oct. 5, 1864, at Ft. Gains on Dauphin Island, of sunstroke and malaria, Lieut. James M. Edmunds, son of Loring and Maria M. Edmunds, aged 27 years, 9 months and 2 days. Aug. 26, he bade his affectionate parents, loving brothers and sisters farewell, to engage in his country's service.

Brother, thou art gone to rest, While troub'lous scenes of life, Are deep'ning fast and FASTER still; Thou'rt hid from this world's strife; Brother, thou'rt hid from this world's strife. ELLEN S. EDMUNDS. Ann Arbor, Mich., Nov. 27, 1864.

DIED in Sturgis, Mich., Oct. 6th, 1864, Ellsworth Myron, only son of Edward P., and Louise P. Smith, aged three years, eight months and nine days. His death was caused by a kick from a horse. His sufferings were great, but they are past. His father was absent at the time, and only returned in season to attend the funeral. I hope to meet him in the morning of the resurrection.

Sleep on, dear son, in quiet rest, Till all earth's mournful scenes are o'er, Then wake to life among the blest, To dwell with Christ forever more. I'll meet thee then, yes, meet again, Thy smiling face immortal fair. Thy wounds and woes and cruel pain, As here, will ne'er be suffered there.

Rest thou in peace, not long to stay, Within the grave's dark chill abode; Our King soon comes to bear away To realms above each child of God. Come, Saviour, King, down from on high, Thy saints to change and end their strife, Bare us from earth above the sky, Where we shall share eternal life. LOUISE P. SMITH.
