Heartg were made sorrowful by the terrible accident to John J. Burns, whose injuries resulted in his death on Thurgday morning. Mr. Burns was a model young man, well liked and a general favorite among his associates. The funeral took place on Saturday, from St. Thomas church, and was Urgely attended. Company A , oi which hu was a member, and its ex-members, headed the procession with the Carpenter's unión. The floral ofierings were numerous and elegant. We are left here lonely to moum, Beloved for thy presence endearcd ; Thy vacancy we cannot adorn, For the model to Heaven has steered. Noble one, sorely we'll miss thee. None else thy place can now flll ; Just one, thy loved ones give thee, Kesignedly to the Almighty's will. Youjhave made Heaven 's way most'starry, By deeds immurtal and bright, Be consoled bereaved ones, so weary, He dwells In the Kingdom of Light. Nobledeeds you would have achieved, Uonored heights you would have atlained, But the Lord was not thus pleased For the pure to remaní and be stained. Thy name illuminee the pathway Of success, victory and right, It guarda against the causeway, Which will sully and tarnish the bright. You've prepared a way for goodness, By the path where the hol y have trod ; This consumís; pointe towardsgludness, And a peacel'ul home with thy God. Bereaved parents, bear up. be courageous. He waíu patiently for you to come And be sharers of his sweet joyoiuness, ïo welcome you to your last home. Loving sisters, with hearts full of sorrow, Cast away sad thoughus of the past, Only think of his bright, happy morrows. Hu home with the tiavlor forever to last. Cherished frl?nds, your favorite has left you, Bhattered ties remain wholly thine ; He has soared away and bereft you, Without warning and full in his prime. Good bye- farewell most devoted one, ïhis is but a flrm, strong tie, Which links us to the place where none - Yes none- shall have to say, good bye.
