The following verses were suggested bv tba
death of NOBLE BUTLER, son of the late r.
WiAiam j. and Jane Il. Patterson; who lef,
this world Dec. 9Th, 1877, at the age Of fop,
years and eleven months. This beautiful briyb,-
eyed boy, who was loved by a.! tho saw him
was as cheerful and happy as usual. the evelipg
before his death. When his mother was abop,
to retire TO bed, he called her to him, and ssid
" Mother, ] shall never see another morning -
"Why7" asked his mother. "Becausr. 1 am
going to die TO night" "Oh, nor said she 81
hope not" "Yes, l am. Mother" "Are Won
going TO Godr' "Yes." "Are YOU WILLING %
dis1" "Yes, Mother" He then called h.
brother, and babe him farewell When The ns~,
sun rose, he was basking in the beams Of !,
brighter sun.
A child was laid on his lowly bed,
As the shades Of night grew dark,
And down the dim deserted street
Was heard the wateh-dog's bark.
The rudy fire-light glowed around,
In wild fantastic play;
Distorted shadows huge and strange
Upon the dim walls lay!
And merry voices blythe and clear,
Around the fire-side rang,
While the mother sewing busily,
A joyous ditty sang,
Her though were thoughts Of happiness.
For days dull cares We're gone;
| And foremost in her dreams OF bliss
Was her little sleeping one.
The dearest Of them all, he seemed
| To creep into her heart,
And minge with her fondest thoughts
| OF her own life part,
All. fondly then she unused upon
Her bright-eyed, noble boy
While he from out his slumbeIs woke
| With radiant face Of 10Y.
A glorious dream had crossed his sleep;
He saw an angel band,
That with sweet strains of m-looy
Had clasped his tiny hands
And called him from the sunny earth
To summer fields away,
With them, amid the bright green meads,
By laughing brooks, to play
And softly he called his mother dear,
Al With low voice sad and sweet
Like the half-heard stratus Of lut- al niyb,
: That IA maiden's slumbers greet
lie clasped his arms around her nrck.
r His eyes were glad and bright
"kiss me-" he said, ga long sweet Ass,
For, Mother, I'll die tonight
"Oh, no, my little darling one,
Why should YOU dream Of death
u Your words fall softly on my ear
Q And on my cheek your BREATH
Il But still he clasped her to his breast
!, While tears be-dimmed her sight
And whispered, '.Mother, kiss me now,
= For l shall die to- nighir'
"But Mother, do not weep for NE
y do not fear 10 die;
Is know the angels are waiting now
N To welcome me on high,
t, Farewell--but give me one more kis--
A long kiss, Mother dear,
~ For it will be the only one
{; Yoa'll ever give me here"
He called them to his little bed.
% He called each well-lOved name,
p And babe them all Il sad farewell,
=, As one by one they came.
To each he gave a long, long Kiss,
81 And babe them not to weep;
~ Then gently, with measured breath,
IS He sank TO quiet sleep!
le No kindly slumbers rested Ger
ut His Mother'shead that night,
IA As hour BY hour rolled weary on
Ere came the morning light
We She heard no sound while thus she watchs
p Beside that lowly bed;
To But morning came, and her dear boy
Her bright-eyed one-wAs DEAD.
