IN MEMORIAM. Marian Kilshaw Died April 12, Aged Twenty-three Years. Like a rose new-blown, that scarce has known, The sun and showers of spring, 'Her early young dies life 'neath thus took morning wing, skies In life's fair morn, ere cares were born Or sorrow's anguish pressed, Her soul took flight to higher light, Her spirit found its rest. Then in her eyes like darkening skies The death-light 'gan to glisten, The last sad words from her sweet lips heard, Were: "listen, father listen." Oh! could we list as angels kissed That maiden born so fair, What mysteries music had of heard symphonies, there. But other spheres to mortal ears Their harmonies deny, 'Cept to disclose them unto those That are about to die.

Whate'er she heard--the spirit's word To her alone was given; But rest we sure, to one so pure 'Twas the password into Heaven. Beneath the clay was laid away, The form so loved and cherished, But in Heaven's height, her spirit's bright, The body only perished. With words of love, dull grief above, We tell her slender storyA blameless life with virtue rife, And now- -eternal glory. W. S.
