The heart stricken parents mournfully returned to their  home with her lifeless form and on Monday of the present week, many sympathizing friends met to pay their last respects to the departed one, who was especially endeared to the Sabbath School of which for years she was a regular attendant.

Sweet rest to thee, our little con, / Our darling boy, our Jamie / Sleep softly by thy sister's side, / Our cherished little Jamie.

Two little forms of human clay / Are mouldering on earth's pillow / Two radiant beings wait for us / Beyond death's stormy billow.

Oh Father! In thy pitying love, / Look on us in compassion / And heal our hearts, so sorely tried, / and still each stormy passion.
