OBITUARY.
Objects, the loveliest are the first to fade away. These thoughts have been suggested by the death of little Laura Virginia, youngest daughter of Jno. W. and Jane E. Dinwiddie of Bedford County, Va., who died of Typhoid Pneumonia the 2nd inst., aged 8 years. Seldom has it been the lot of that much dreaded disease to lay its withering touch upon one as lovely, as dutiful and as affectionate as little Laura. But she is gone: Gone where the corroding canker of time has no inlet. Grieve not then fond parents of her early exit. Lovely on earth, she is th__(?) lovely in the Paradise of God, whither she been transplanted to join that bright one that preceded her some two years ago.
"The cherished from our home is gone,
The beautiful the loved is dead,
The valley's clod(?) doth rest upon
Thy gentle form and youthful head.
Oh, can it be that we shall hear
The music of thy voice no more?
Shall thy sweet face no more appear,
To greet us at the op'ning door?
Then aft gone to thy home above,
In thy dear Saviour's arms to rest,
Where thou shalt meet with those we love,
And be with them forever blest,
We would not call thee back again,
Earth's dark and dreary pain to tread:
For thou art free from grief and pain
Our fate, our frail our Laura, dead."
