Lol e'en now, new light hath broken Ou the the touib; And a voice from Hexven halh spoken Cheering words to baulsh glooiu. He who from the dead hath risen From our hesrfci dark doubt would roll: Never can the Brave imprison God's own child--the Immortal soul.

When this mortal journey closes In Ihe silence of the Ibe weary frame claim, only what she gave. Then, wilb memories sweet and tender, Lay the dead beneath the sod; But the living soul surrender To the loving arms of God. Earthly cares and conflicts ended, On Time's ocean no more. Pilgrim xM.ll thou has ascended To Ihe calm, eternal sbore. Still fond memory, vigil keeping, Many a of grief shall shed O'er the billowed spot, where, sleeptnc, Lies the pels and silent dead.

But an unseen angel, bending, Whispers In the mourner's ear; "Let yonr grief at kmglh have ending; Lift your eyea; he ia not Who halh breathed thi. miehty yearning Through an earthly parent Who, this game, forever love's divine unrest? Is it not the blest reflection Of that Heavenly Parent love, Whose unquenchable affection Draws our hearts things above? Death all earthly ties must sever; Friend frjm friend one day must part; But no child of God ever Perish from the Father's heart. Tbej are still in God's protection. Though their course on earth ran; Ours the blwed recollection Of the brother and the son. Every spark of generous feeling In the human heart burns, Every trait heaven's breath revealing Shall to Ibat pure world return.

Here then rest, child of sorrow! Leiu upon thy Father breasl! There shall dawn a brighter morrow, And the mourner shall be blest! Real Estate Transfers. Wm. Anthony Shaw, of Brooklyn, sold'to Mary Shaw for $1. his interes in Ihe MUle bounded westerly on Farew ward Taylor, John A. Gibson.
