Gone to rcst, another loved one; One by onc we cross the tide, TUI we fitid our lwed ones number More upon tíic otlier side. Yes, another chaír is vacant. In tlie homes down heie below, And we'll miss his love and counsel More, I think, thun now we know, But, it may be, at this moment. Hobed in urments pure and white, That dear one we think has lett us, Watches over us to-night. This small c'rcle was unbroken, Till the angel carne to-day, Took the one they most nave leanecl on, Bore hún from them far away. First to tread the shininc pth, Upward to that home of love - Kather lod while here on earth, Now he goes before above. And. at heaven's pearly portáis, Mayhaps he will walt tbr tdee. Precious wife and loviu childrcn, Where from sorrow we are free. ELLA D. GAY. Ann Arkor, July aó, 1SS6. THOMAS-In Hamburg, July 16th, 1S36, of consumptlon, John Ü. Thomas, age 45 years.
