The grave was covered with beautiful wreathes and clusters of flowers. Everything that loved ones could do to relieve him and restore him to health was done, but a loving Father called to His--weary child, "Come home," to that beautiful shore, where times ceases never, and night comes no more, There Jesus is reigning--we'll ever be blest; We'll sever no more in the land of sweet rest. The bereaved ones have the sincere sympathy of all. A Friend.
