DIED – In this City, on Saturday the 23rd instant, Jere. Nichols, son of Jeremiah and Elizabeth NIXON, aged 2 years, 9 months and 19 days.
“Gone from the hearts that loved him,
Gone from his home away –
Gone in his childish beauty,
Like flowers in May.
Gone like the moonlight’s glimmer
From off the rippling stream;
Gone like the joyous pictures
Of childhood’s glowing dream.
He dwelleth now and kneeleth
Beside the throne of God,
In praise to Him who raiseth
The spriti from the sod.”
DIED — On the 25th of June, at the residence of her father-in-law, Mr. STRICKLAND, near Milton, Miss., Mrs. Marian W. STRICKLAND, aged 22, only daughter of John and Sophia LEWIS, formerly of Chapel Hill, N.C. Though a few months only had elapsed since she stood at the marriage altar, yet when the summons came she was by a lively faith in her Redeemer willing to part with husband, parents, and brothers. When informed by her almost heart-broken mother that she could not survive, she embraced all present, separately, and begged them to prepare to meet her in Heaven Dry up your tears, bereaved ones, you have the gratifying assurance that your loss is her gain.
