MISS SALLIE ANN HAWPE
At the residence of her father , Mr. Wm S. Hawpe, near Greenville, Augusta County, Va.. on Friday 8th of Dec. 1865, Miss Sallie Ann Hawpe, aged about 23 years.
"Death loves a shining mark." This truth was exemplified in the deceased of our young friend. Beautiful in person, attractive in manner, the object upon whom was lavished the love of parents and friends, there was much to bind her to earth. But "whom the Gods love die early." The deadly shaft was launched: the ties of earthly affection were broken: the grave received its prey.
Her death was calm and peaceful. Having embraced Christ as her Savior about eighteen months ago, the sting was extracted from death, and when the end of life's pilgrimage drew near, she "had a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better." Toward the close of her illness, she raised her hands and said:
"Filled with delight, my raptured soul
Would here no longer stay."
"Thy will be done." We commit her dust to its kindred dust and hopefully look forward to the resurrection of the last day.
May the grace of the gospel and the comfort of the Holy Ghost be furnished to the bleeding hearts of her surviving friends.

IN MEMORY OF MISS S. A. H.
Farewell, dear Sallie, fare thee well,
That thou art gone, is true;
Though, in the shining courts you dwell,
We've wept-still weep for you.
The angels there, with deep-toned harps,
Bent from the heavenly dome,
And shouted, as she entered there:
"Behold! She comes, she comes."
She came to join the blood-washed hand,
From doubt, and pain and woe;
She came to share these heavenly courts,
Where sorrow is no more.
Here not a cloud shall shade her brow,
Her eyes ne'er shed a tear;
No anxious doubts can pain her now,
No sorrowing hearts are here.
She came to meet long severed ones-
All are united now.
She came with wreaths of gladness twined
Around her beaming brow
She came with raptures songs of joy.
She came with gladness home,
While angels tune their harps anew,
And shout: "she comes, she comes."
