Representative Tawney, of Minne- sota, has introduced a bill prohibiting the placing of tags, or coupons in pack- ages of tobacco. Secretary Wilson, of the Department of Agricnltnre. thinks the United States could furnish mounts for all the caval- ry of Europe, and told the House Com- mittee on Agriculture last Saturday that Sir Thomas Lipton buys horses and pigs at Chicago. The horses, said the Secretary, he ships to Ireland to train them as jumpers, then sells them in Great Britain to "ten stone Englishmen'* as Irish jumpers. The pigs, of which he selects the thin ones, he cans as "Irish bacon," which he also sells in England. A few days ago Representative Huff introduced a number of bills, including one for the relief of J. B. Orbison. The Japs aud Russians. The late news from the far East is more favorable for peace. Russia is taking or pretending to take water. Every proposition she has made has been met by a counter proposition from Japan, For instance the Russians pro- posed a neutral zone or belt on the Cc- rean side of the Yalu river, and Japan proposed a similar belt on the Manchu- rian side. The pluck shown by the. Japs has been admirable, and this with the open sympathy of England and Ameri- ca is causing Russia to hesitate in her schemes of aggression. Japan purchas- ed two war ships in Europe a few days ago, which were hastily supplied aud manned by mixed crews, and the Eng- lish Mediterranean squadron saw them safely through that sea and the canal, though they were followed part of the way by Russian ships. Another thing, Russia needs money, and the European bankers are shutting her off. I KANSAS CITY is be honored as well as Chicago. The Prohibition national convention will meet in that city on Jnne 20 to nominate candidates for president and vice president. Eight cities asked for the privilege of enter- taining the Prohibition gathering? Los Angeles, Indianapolis. Minneapolis, Baltimore, Buffalo, Columbus, Milwau- kee, (made famous by something), and Kansas City. TFIK Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, who is strenuously advocating protection for British industries, said in his re- cent Cardiff speech that Mr. Cobden never had any experience with a Mc- Kinley tariff law, which had caused a slump in their foreign trade of 250,000 tons in a single year, else he would have advised the meeting of new conditions with new policies, "I propose," says Mr. Chamberlain, "to pay our Ameri- can kinsmen the greatest compliment in my power. I propose to imitate them. I propose to say to them, 'you shnt ont ont our goods and we will shut oat yon re.' lam tired of this oue-sided arrangement" Undermining Roosevelt. A curious feature of the campaigu J which is quietly being carried on by | the Wall street moguls and their po- litical allies against President Roose velt is the apparent disposition to con cede that the President will be norni nated to succeed himself with practi- cally no opposition in the Chicago convention. This suggests that there ia really no foundation for the reports of Senator Ilanna's candidacy. It also affords ground for the suspicion that the design ia to attack Mr. Roosevelt not within hia own party, which, in the main, is undontedly loyal to him, prond of his administration and de- sirous of continuing him in office, but through the agency of the Democratic party. There is a remarkable air of hopefulness about the Democracy this year. Whence does it arise? Are the conditions more favorable than usual to the election of a Democratic Presi dent? Have the affairs of the nation been mismanaged? Is the country stirred to the very heart by great issue which divides the people, as the tariff, and later the money issne. for- merly did? Not a bit of it. Xever was there less opportunity for the Democrats to find new strength and new recruits on the strength of their attitude on some vital public question. The nation is peaceful and prosper- ous. The minority party is left actu- ally without a single live issue on which to make a campaign. \et, in spite of this, we find the Democratic leaders sanguine of success and mak- ing preparations for the campaign with an excess of energy which be- tokens. beyond the shadow of a doubt, that their confidence is based upon material assurances of some kind. What are these assurances? What is it that warms the impoverished blood of Democracy and makes the Democratic nomination for President 1 a prize worth striving f>r? Putting two and two together, is it not a ra- tional surmise that the anti-Roosevelt element which is afraid to show its hand in the Republican convention, has no scruples against working through Democratic agencies, and that there is a gigantic scheme on foot to finance the Democratic campaign on a large scale and otherwise to bring reinforcements to the Democratic ticket which will give it, perhaps, more than a fighting chance? If this is what is in the wind it devolves upon the loyal Republican leaders to ' smoke out" the enemy and lay bare and counteract!his designs as soon as possible. That an anti-Roosevelt movement, independent of the action of the po- litical parties, is on foot is certain, and it is also certain that this move- ment has its origin in the vengeful disposition of moneyed elements which the President has offended by under- taking to compel , them to live up to the letter of the law. In a word, Mr. Rooeevelt is to be punished for the offense of rendering honest service to the people. But will the people allow this to be accomplished? Impossible. Let it be proved that a conspiracy of the kind indicated is under way and it is safe to say that all genuinely pa- triotic citizens. Democrats and Repub- licans alike, will feel in duty bound to stamp it out and see that justice is done to one of the truest and manliest men that ever occupied the presiden- tial office, ?Leader. CHAIRMAN HANNA has issued his call for the National Republican Con vention, which is to meet in Chicago, on Tuesday, June 21st. President Roosevelt will undoubtedly be nomi- nated. The great trusts and corpora- tions cannot beat him within the party. THE TYPHOID SITUATION. Though but two deaths have occurred in Butler during the past week from typhoid, the report of nine new cases from Saturday to Monday, was rather startling. It may be, however, that all may not turn out to be fever, though we have heard it said that genua may lie for six months in the human system before developing. On Saturday last the Car Works hos- pital was closed, and on Monday the few remaining patients at the Brother- ly Love Hospital were taken to the Gen- eral Hospital, and it was turned over to its owner, Earl Clinton, who, with the Philadelphia physicians and nurses will be kindly remembered by the people of Butler. Some late contributions to the Relief fund are noted as follows: Citizens of Fairview, $151; Prospect, $174; Meadville, S4B; St. Mary's, s7:j; Saxonburg, $80; Plymouth, $345; Do- nora, $100; Oil City. $140; Danville, $194: Bridgoville, $105; Altoona. $1,135; Jamestown, $18; Mapleton, $33: Em- ployees of P. & R Oil Co., $1.40; U. S. Pipe Line, S7B; North Butler Presby- terian church, $34; St. Peters, Zelie- nople, S2B; Baptists of E. Brady, S3O; K.O.T M., Petrolia, $25; John D. Rock- efeller. $2,000 Brave Girl. Attacked by a huge mountain lion, Tessie Edwards, a 12-year-old girl of Clarks Fork, Utah, not only escaped injury, but successfully battled with the fierce beast until she killed it. Miss Edwards was ont with a rifle af- ter jack rabbits and wandered several miles from her home. She entered a clump of trees and heavy underbrush when she heard a movement behind her. Instinctively she jumped in time to es- cape the claws of a big mountain lion, which pounced on the spot where she had stood. The girl hastily iired a shot at the an- imal and attempted to run. Tho beast, though wounded, crouched lo>v, and Miss Edwards again lired as the lion lannched himself toward her Hard hit this time, the beast fell, his back broken. Snarling and crawling toward the girl, the lion tried to reach his prey. The girl hred her Inst shot. The animal was hit in a vital spot and died, but not before he had torn Miss Edwards' dress and scratched her limbs with his claws. The lion measured 11 leet. ACCIDKNI'SJ. John Pierce fell from the roof of a new house, buildiug for Michael Mor- ris, in Lyndora. by his brother, Frank Pierce, and had his back Iwlly bruised and sprained. John is six feet three and weighs about 2:50 pounds, making his fall no small affair. Eli May's team ran into a show drift near White Oak Springs church, last Thursday night, from which they were unable to extricate themselves. One of the horses struggled so violently that he fell dead, and then Eli. so to speak, was "in a hole." But he got the other loose and out and spent the night at a neighboring farmhonse. Owing to a misplaced switch the flyer on tlie Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg railroad collided head-on with a freght train in the yards at Dußois, last Sat- urday morning. Both engines were re- duced to a heap of scrap iron and Fire- man John Mogalson of tne flyer was killed. Other members of the train crews escaped. The passengers were seyerely shaken up, but none were hurt. The West Penn train due lif-re at 7:25 p. m., jumped the track, this side of Great Belt. Tuesday evening and the passengers had to be transferred. No- body hart. L \WS In all civilized countries laws accum- ulate, like rubbish in an attic, until there is not only much that is useless and cumbersome, but absolutely nox- ious. After a vast mass of statutory trash has been heaped up in the law li- braries of a nation the effect upon jur- isprudence is to render it incomprehens- ible and unwholesome, and in order to render equitable decisions wise and just judges must often divest their minds of all judicial lore and decide the issue by the old rules of common ionse. Legislative bodies, we believe, should occasionally have housecleanings, when all the useless statutory lumber should be brought out of the dusty chambers where they have become foul with the cobwebs of obsoleteness, and reduced to wholesome ashes. It was only after the old, plague- stricken city of London hid been utter- ly eaten up by fire that it became tic for human habitation. The streets were afterwards widened and straightened and disease-breeding hovels replaced by comfortable dwellings. It is an old ad- age that no town or city amounts to I much until it has had a few first-class fires, and the same line of argument ap- plies to our laws they should be re- pealed by the wholesale every now and then and replaced by fresh ones. We have hundreds of commentators aud thousands of judicial decisions,each viewing the vast complexity of legisla- tive enactments aud contradictory judi- cial opinions in different lights, so that an energetic and skillful attorney can find authority for any position he may assume. This goes on until the tangled skein of jurisprudence becomes so knot- ted and confused as to be inextricable. There is more uniformity and lucid- ness in the laws of England than those of perhaps any other nation, because of the labors of great commentators, like Blackstone, a reluctance to enact many new statutes, and a disposition to re- peal laws that have outlived their use- fulness. But even the laws of England are cumbered with much that is super- fluous and ridiculous. In the United States there is a perfect mania for the manufacture of laws. Nearly every individual citizeu has a pet measure that he wants to have en- acted into - iaw, and he generally sr.u ceeds, if sufficiently pers : stent. Thus it happens that there comes to be a vast and complex mass of worse than use- less legal enactments which have been the outgrowth of all sorts of selfish ob- jects, according to time, place, exigen- cies and caprices, and with no purpose to form a consistent and systematic code. For this reason a commission compos- ed of eminent judges should be appoint- by the governors of the several states, and by the President of the United States, at intervals of every ten or twenty years, to make a thorough ex- amination of state and national laws, and recommend the repeal of such as have become obsolete or inconsistent with the times. What is wise and ju- dicious legislation under some circum- stances and conditions would be absurd and pernicious under others. As these circumstances and conditions clianee, the laws should be changed to fit them, and. in that way a wholesome, rational and easily understood code could be es- tablished and maintained. Napoleon performed this service for France. Lord Brougham, in concluding his famous speech ou law reform, said: "You saw the greatest warrior of the age?conijuerer of Italy?humbler of Germany?terror of the North?saw him account all his matchless victories poor compared with the triumphs von are now in condition to win?saw him contemn the fickelness of fortune, while in despite of her, he could pronounce his memorable boast, "I shall go down to posterity with the code my hand!" You haye vanquished him in th« field; strive now to rival hini in che sacred arts of peace! Outstrip him as a law- giver whom in arms jou overcame! The lustre of the regency will be eclipesd by the more solid and enduring splendor of the reign. It was the boast of Augustus?it formed part of the glare in which the perfidies of his earl- ier 5 ears were lost?that he fouud Rome of brick and left it of marble. But how much nobler will be the sovereign's boast when he shall have it to say that he found law dear and left it cheap; found it a sealed book, left it a living letter; found it a patrimony of the rich, left it the inheritance of the poor; found it the two-edged sword of craft and ap- prehension, left it the staff of honesty and the shield of innocence."?Spirit.

IN MEMORY OF A BROTHER As a family we were called up to follow one ot our number to his narrow house of clay. The deceased was Robert K. Snyder, the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C, Snyder of West Liberty, aged 27, years, 7 months and 3 days. The deceased was a member of the St. John M. E. church. He leaves to mourn his loss a wile and little daught- er, father, mother, three brothers, three sister and a host of friends. A precious one from us has gone. A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled Dear brother thou art snatched away By death's resistless hand, Our hearts the mournful tribute pay, Which pity must demand. The once loved form now cold and dead Oar mournful thoughts employ, Thou hast from our family circle fled To heaven, the world of joy. Not long ago you filled your place, but now we'll not find you there, Yon have run your mortal race, And never can return. Far from affliction, toil and caie, Thy happy soul has fled, For dressed in beauty's fairest bloom, Thou with the angels are. Dear brother now farewell, farewell, We'll meet the upon high, Ever with thee and angels to dwell. No more to say, "good-by good-by." A SISTEB.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Representative Tawney, of Minne-sota, has introduced a bill prohibitingthe placing of tags, or coupons in pack-ages of tobacco.

Secretary Wilson, of the Departmentof Agricnltnre. thinks the United Statescould furnish mounts for all the caval-ry of Europe, and told the House Com-mittee on Agriculture last Saturdaythat Sir Thomas Lipton buys horses andpigs at Chicago. The horses, said theSecretary, he ships to Ireland to trainthem as jumpers, then sells them inGreat Britain to "ten stone Englishmen'*as Irish jumpers. The pigs, of whichhe selects the thin ones, he cans as"Irish bacon," which he also sells in

England.

A few days ago Representative Huffintroduced a number of bills, includingone for the relief of J. B. Orbison.

The Japs aud Russians.

The late news from the far East ismore favorable for peace. Russia istaking or pretending to take water.Every proposition she has made hasbeen met by a counter proposition fromJapan, For instance the Russians pro-posed a neutral zone or belt on the Cc-rean side of the Yalu river, and Japanproposed a similar belt on the Manchu-rian side. The pluck shown by the. Japshas been admirable, and this with theopen sympathy of England and Ameri-ca is causing Russia to hesitate in herschemes of aggression. Japan purchas-ed two war ships in Europe a few daysago, which were hastily supplied audmanned by mixed crews, and the Eng-lish Mediterranean squadron saw themsafely through that sea and the canal,

though they were followed part of theway by Russian ships. Another thing,Russia needs money, and the Europeanbankers are shutting her off.

IKANSAS CITY is be honored as well

as Chicago. The Prohibition nationalconvention will meet in that city on

Jnne 20 to nominate candidates forpresident and vice president. Eight

cities asked for the privilege of enter-taining the Prohibition gathering?

Los Angeles, Indianapolis. Minneapolis,Baltimore, Buffalo, Columbus, Milwau-

kee, (made famous by something), andKansas City.

TFIK Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, whois strenuously advocating protectionfor British industries, said in his re-

cent Cardiff speech that Mr. Cobdennever had any experience with a Mc-Kinley tariff law, which had caused a

slump in their foreign trade of 250,000

tons in a single year, else he would haveadvised the meeting of new conditionswith new policies, "I propose," says

Mr. Chamberlain, "to pay our Ameri-can kinsmen the greatest compliment

in my power. I propose to imitatethem. Ipropose to say to them, 'you

shnt ont ont our goods and we will shutoat yonre.' lam tired of this oue-sidedarrangement"

Undermining Roosevelt.

A curious feature of the campaigu Jwhich is quietly being carried on by |the Wall street moguls and their po-litical allies against President Roosevelt is the apparent disposition to concede that the President will be norni

nated to succeed himself with practi-cally no opposition in the Chicago

convention. This suggests that there

ia really no foundation for the reportsof Senator Ilanna's candidacy. It alsoaffords ground for the suspicion that

the design ia to attack Mr. Roosevelt

not within hia own party, which, inthe main, is undontedly loyal to him,

prond of his administration and de-

sirous of continuing him in office, butthrough the agency of the Democraticparty. There is a remarkable air ofhopefulness about the Democracy thisyear. Whence does it arise? Are the

conditions more favorable than usual

to the election of a Democratic Presi

dent? Have the affairs of the nation

been mismanaged? Is the country

stirred to the very heart by great

issue which divides the people, as thetariff, and later the money issne. for-

merly did? Not a bit of it. Xeverwas there less opportunity for the

Democrats to find new strength and

new recruits on the strength of their

attitude on some vital public question.The nation is peaceful and prosper-ous. The minority party is left actu-ally without a single live issue on

which to make a campaign. \et, inspite of this, we find the Democraticleaders sanguine of success and mak-ing preparations for the campaign

with an excess of energy which be-

tokens. beyond the shadow of a doubt,

that their confidence is based uponmaterial assurances of some kind.

What are these assurances? Whatis it that warms the impoverishedblood of Democracy and makes theDemocratic nomination for President 1a prize worth striving f>r? Putting

two and two together, is it not a ra-

tional surmise that the anti-Rooseveltelement which is afraid to show its

hand in the Republican convention,

has no scruples against working

through Democratic agencies, and that

there is a gigantic scheme on foot to

finance the Democratic campaign on

a large scale and otherwise to bring

reinforcements to the Democraticticket which will give it, perhaps,more than a fighting chance? If thisis what is in the wind it devolvesupon the loyal Republican leaders to

' smoke out" the enemy and lay bare

and counteract!his designs as soon aspossible.

That an anti-Roosevelt movement,

independent of the action of the po-litical parties, is on foot is certain,

and it is also certain that this move-ment has its origin in the vengeful

disposition of moneyed elements which

the President has offended by under-taking to compel , them to live up tothe letter of the law. In a word, Mr.Rooeevelt is to be punished for theoffense of rendering honest service tothe people. But will the people allowthis to be accomplished? Impossible.Let it be proved that a conspiracy ofthe kind indicated is under way andit is safe to say that all genuinely pa-triotic citizens. Democrats and Repub-licans alike, will feel in duty bound tostamp it out and see that justice isdone to one of the truest and manliestmen that ever occupied the presiden-tial office, ?Leader.

CHAIRMAN HANNA has issued his

call for the National Republican Convention, which is to meet in Chicago,

on Tuesday, June 21st. PresidentRoosevelt will undoubtedly be nomi-

nated. The great trusts and corpora-

tions cannot beat him within the party.

THE TYPHOID SITUATION.

Though but two deaths have occurredin Butler during the past week fromtyphoid, the report of nine new cases

from Saturday to Monday, was ratherstartling. It may be, however, that allmay not turn out to be fever, thoughwe have heard it said that genua maylie for six months in the human systembefore developing.

On Saturday last the Car Works hos-pital was closed, and on Monday thefew remaining patients at the Brother-lyLove Hospital were taken to the Gen-eral Hospital, and it was turnedover to its owner, Earl Clinton, who,with the Philadelphia physicians andnurses will be kindly remembered bythe people of Butler.

Brave Girl.

Attacked by a huge mountainlion, Tessie Edwards, a 12-year-old girlof Clarks Fork, Utah, not only escapedinjury, but successfully battled withthe fierce beast until she killed it.

Miss Edwards was ont with a rifle af-ter jack rabbits and wandered severalmiles from her home. She entered aclump of trees and heavy underbrushwhen she heard a movement behind her.Instinctively she jumped in time to es-cape the claws of a big mountain lion,which pounced on the spot where shehad stood.

The girl hastily iired a shot at the an-imal and attempted to run. Tho beast,though wounded, crouched lo>v, andMiss Edwards again lired as the lionlannched himself toward her

Hard hit this time, the beast fell, hisback broken. Snarling and crawlingtoward the girl, the lion tried to reachhis prey. The girl hred her Inst shot.The animal was hit in a vital spot anddied, but not before he had torn MissEdwards' dress and scratched her limbswith his claws.

The lion measured 11 leet.

ACCIDKNI'SJ.

John Pierce fell from the roof of anew house, buildiug for Michael Mor-ris, in Lyndora. by his brother, FrankPierce, and had his back Iwlly bruisedand sprained. John is six feet threeand weighs about 2:50 pounds, makinghis fall no small affair.

Eli May's team ran into a show driftnear White Oak Springs church, lastThursday night, from which they wereunable to extricate themselves. One ofthe horses struggled so violently thathe fell dead, and then Eli. so to speak,was "in a hole." But he got the otherloose and out and spent the night at aneighboring farmhonse.

Owing to a misplaced switch the flyeron tlie Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgrailroad collided head-on with a freghttrain in the yards at Dußois, last Sat-urday morning. Both engines were re-duced to a heap of scrap iron and Fire-man John Mogalson of tne flyer was

killed. Other members of the traincrews escaped. The passengers wereseyerely shaken up, but none were hurt.

The West Penn train due lif-re at 7:25p. m., jumped the track, this side ofGreat Belt. Tuesday evening and thepassengers had to be transferred. No-body hart.

L \WS

In all civilized countries laws accum-

ulate, like rubbish in an attic, untilthere is not only much that is uselessand cumbersome, but absolutely nox-ious. After a vast mass of statutorytrash has been heaped up in the law li-braries of a nation the effect upon jur-isprudence is to render it incomprehens-ible and unwholesome, and in order to

render equitable decisions wise and just

judges must often divest their minds ofall judiciallore and decide the issue by

the old rules of common ionse.

Legislative bodies, we believe, shouldoccasionally have housecleanings, whenall the useless statutory lumber shouldbe brought out of the dusty chamberswhere they have become foul with thecobwebs of obsoleteness, and reduced

to wholesome ashes.It was only after the old, plague-

stricken city of London hid been utter-lyeaten up by fire that it became tic forhuman habitation. The streets were

afterwards widened and straightened

and disease-breeding hovels replaced by

comfortable dwellings. It is an old ad-age that no town or city amounts to

Imuch until it has had a few first-classfires, and the same line of argument ap-plies to our laws they should be re-

pealed by the wholesale every now and

then and replaced by fresh ones.We have hundreds of commentators

aud thousands of judicialdecisions,each

viewing the vast complexity of legisla-

tive enactments aud contradictory judi-

cial opinions in different lights, so thatan energetic and skillful attorney can

find authority for any position he mayassume. This goes on until the tangled

skein of jurisprudence becomes so knot-ted and confused as to be inextricable.

There is more uniformity and lucid-ness in the laws of England than thoseof perhaps any other nation, because of

the labors of great commentators, likeBlackstone, a reluctance to enact many

new statutes, and a disposition to re-peal laws that have outlived their use-

fulness. But even the laws of Englandare cumbered with much that is super-fluous and ridiculous.

In the United States there is a perfectmania for the manufacture of laws.Nearly every individual citizeu has apet measure that he wants to have en-

acted into - iaw, and he generally sr.u

ceeds, if sufficiently pers : stent. Thus ithappens that there comes to be a vastand complex mass of worse than use-

less legal enactments which have beenthe outgrowth of all sorts of selfish ob-jects, according to time, place, exigen-

cies and caprices, and with no purposeto form a consistent and systematic

code.For this reason a commission compos-

ed of eminent judges should be appoint-by the governors of the several states,

and by the President of the UnitedStates, at intervals of every ten ortwenty years, to make a thorough ex-

amination of state and national laws,

and recommend the repeal of such as

have become obsolete or inconsistentwith the times. What is wise and ju-

dicious legislation under some circum-stances and conditions would be absurdand pernicious under others. As thesecircumstances and conditions clianee,

the laws should be changed to fit them,

and. in that way a wholesome, rationaland easily understood code could be es-

tablished and maintained. Napoleonperformed this service for France.

Lord Brougham, in concluding hisfamous speech ou law reform, said:

"You saw the greatest warrior of theage?conijuerer of Italy?humbler ofGermany?terror of the North?sawhim account all his matchless victoriespoor compared with the triumphs von

are now in condition to win?saw himcontemn the fickelness of fortune, whilein despite of her, he could pronouncehis memorable boast, "I shall go downto posterity with the code my hand!"You haye vanquished him in th« field;strive now to rival hini in che sacredarts of peace! Outstrip him as a law-giver whom in arms jou overcame!The lustre of the regency will beeclipesd by the more solid and enduringsplendor of the reign. It was the boastof Augustus?it formed part of theglare in which the perfidies of his earl-ier 5 ears were lost?that he fouud Romeof brick and left it of marble. Buthow much nobler will be the sovereign'sboast when he shall have it to say thathe found law dear and left it cheap;found it a sealed book, left it a livingletter; found it a patrimony of the rich,left it the inheritance of the poor; foundit the two-edged sword of craft and ap-prehension, left it the staff of honestyand the shield of innocence."?Spirit.

IN MEMORY OF A BROTHER

As a family we were called up tofollow one ot our number to his narrowhouse of clay. The deceased wasRobert K. Snyder, the son of Mr. andMrs. J. C, Snyder of West Liberty,aged 27, years, 7 months and 3 days.

The deceased was a member of theSt. John M. E. church. He leaves tomourn his loss a wile and little daught-er, father, mother, three brothers,three sister and a host of friends.

A precious one from us has gone.A voice we loved is stilled;

A place is vacant in our home,Which never can be filled

Dear brother thou art snatched awayBy death's resistless hand,

Our hearts the mournful tribute pay,Which pity must demand.

The once loved form now cold and deadOar mournful thoughts employ,

Thou hast from our family circle fledTo heaven, the world of joy.

Not long ago you filled your place,but now we'll not find you there,

Yon have run your mortal race,And never can return.

Far from affliction, toil and caie,

Thy happy soul has fled,For dressed in beauty's fairest bloom,

Thou with the angels are.

Dear brother now farewell, farewell,We'll meet the upon high,

Ever with thee and angels to dwell.No more to say, "good-by good-by."
