LINES

UPON THE DEATH OF REUBEN, PELEG B. CHARLES, SUSAN AND MARY A. WING,

(Children of Mr. Reuben and Mrs. Lucy Wing of Livermore,)

who died within the space of 2 years and 8

mouths, between the ages of 15 and 21 years.

Just like the rainbow in a shower,—

Like clouds that vanish in an hour.

Or some fair fragile vernal flower.

They passed away.

I was dumb, I opened not my mouth, because thou didst it.—Scripture.
