GESSFORD, who dled one year ago today, April 30, 1896. ‘Through suffering she breathed wot a murmur, For the Comforter stood by ber side, And whispered, “Fear not, I am with thee, With Me thoa shalt ever abide.” O'er the river the pale boatman hastened, She beard the soft dip of his oar; Then from eurth and its sorrows he bore her Across to the beautiful shore. id BY HER DAUGHTER, LAURA BARNETT. HICKMAN. Sacted to the memory of ANTHONY HICKMAN, who died April ‘18M. “His was 3 seul of honor every Te, ‘That to ignoble actions scorned to bend; True to bis trust in friendship's faith be ne'er Forgot a favor or f @ friend. “His virtues be bequeaths as that we yet May meet bim in a lovelier land than this, ‘Where darkness is unknown, suns never se! A yw never comer, but all is bliss.” “ss BELOVED WIFE, MARY J. HICKMAN, MARY ELIZABETH SELDEN. MARY ELIZA- BETH SELDEN was born on the banks of James river, in the state of Virginia, in the year 1809. Left an orphan at an early age, she was the ward of John Tyler (afterward President of the United States) until her mariage to James M, Selden, also of Virginia. During the fifty years of her widowhood (for her husband @ied in 1847) she devoted herself unceasingly to her children, and impressed upon them ber unusual character and ex- alted standard. Her example of perfect faith en- couraged and exborted them, as did also the un- varying cheerfulness which made ber to the end a sunbeam in her home, and sympathetic companion to the youngest in it. Thus was she made, and thus did she grow, in faith and charity and pe- tience. Her life, which expired on the 24th of Ife had been passed not without toil and tears, and yet was not made weary by the toll nor bitter by the tears, but, on the contrary, seemed only ea- nobled by the strain and sweetened by the sorrows of her pilgrimage. Year after year bad departed from her, but her joy and her hope, her faith her charity did not depart. The children children’s children, whom she had blessed by her love, blessed her in return own. This was the sweet reward of the good will, of her charity of nature, as of @ benevolent by birth. No need came in her or to her knowledge without exciting in longing and the care to relieve it. As the of evening drew around the sunset of this life could se the stars of evening already in ber The flowers upon her bier, which lay afterward ‘& coverlid upon ber grave, were but a copy of fragrance which her Mfe exhaled. Thus she fell at last into the lap of her mother earth, lke the mellowed fruit of all her eight and eighty years. Beautiful was the 24th of April, with all the beauty of spring and the year's fresh birth. But @ rarer beauty gathered around the buman life which went out with the dying day. Kind and ge- nial was this life's morning, and sweet the new Mfe imparted as it ascended to the noble purity of noon; and fair, most fair, the parting grace of one who threw the touches of her tenderness on every fleck in the sky, every pain of the flesh, and by kindling these with the light of her own spirit, made them agents of immortality.
