OBITUARY.

BROWN James Weston Brown, son ofDavid Brown, departed this life Jan. 14th,1883, aged 16 years.

Can it be that tbcu bast left us,Left us for the golden Bhore;

Thou who wert so bright and lovely,Gently passed life's river o'er.

Thou who with me once did rambleHaod in hand through life's bright vale,

Now in heaven's brightest glory,And the angels anthems wail.

When they told me you were dying. St.Soon from earth to swiftly fly.

Then my life grew sad and lonelyAs the hours of death drew nigb.

AtThen I thought of life so happy,When with you I once did roam;

Now the days grow sad and lonelySince your soul to heaven has flown.

Can it be that thou hast left me.Gone, and left me here behind; ot

Thou who gently strived to lead meIn tbe truth the Lord to find.

Thou whose gentle wisdom counseledEver truth and right the way.

Gently took my band and led me,Kept my soul from going astray.

When they told me you bad left me,' Gone from earth to heaven to dwell,

Then my heart grew aad and lonelyAs 1 beard the funeral knell.But, since tbou bast gone and left rae,Ne'er on earth your face to greet,

I will fight the Christian's battle,And in heaven we shall meet

Yes, I'll strive to follow you, Weston,In the path you trod io pure-D- aily

follow your example-M- akemy hope of heaven sure.

And when life'a work almost ended,And the hour of death is nigh, In

You, with angel wings descended,Waft my spirit home on high.
