Died,
   On the 16th ult., at the residence of her mother in Knowlton, Margaret
Robins, of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., aged 25 years.

     In the Church's hallowed shade
       Where no footsteps rude invade;
     Till they rise as Christ arose,
       Let the slumbering lambs repose.

     Near the Font by which they stood
       When He cleansed them with His Blood;
     Placed in Angels' watchful trust,
       Let them slumber, "dust to dust."

     Near the Chancel where they knelt,
       When His pierced hands they felt
     Pressing on the spirit's brow,
       Let the dear ones slumber now.

     Near the Altar where they fed
       On the sacred Blood and Bread,
     Till they rise as Christ arose
       Let the slumbering lambs repose.
