We copy the following from the "Uoun,oo
Echo" and while We deeply sympathise viii.
those bereaved parents, we cannot refrain fron,
expressing the feelings Of every individual wbsn
enlisted in the army of death it shatteretb o.
bonds Of love and union, crushes youth andms,.
hood alike, crushed hopes and fears meet simis,
fate. Alas how tickle is life to-day health ~.
diant and blooming, tomorrow withered and da-
cayed, bearing resent blsnce TO the flower Of N.
field which fourishes for season and then die
away. We have shared the acquaintance Of IL,
the lamented youth, and feel his simple ipfr.
ence upon us, and we are prepared to syrnna.
thize the more with the bereft father ~
Dead---0ur Little Willie.
How terrible is death when he enters the far,-
lily circle, and bears away its chief joy To-dav
at ten O'Clock, we committed all that was mortal
of our little son to the tomb Little Willie the
idol of our heart, the brightest and the cheerest
of our household is gone Death has summon.
ed him in youth and happiness, and the bleak
winds now murmur around his grave. The place
he once filled around the fireside, engaged in boy
ish sports with his brothers and sisters, is now
vacant. The chair in which he sat- the lovclies-
ofthe olive plants around our table, is now with
out an occupant His voice, ever first to gree,
our return is now hushed. His eye, that ere
while, sparklcd with intelligence, is now lustre-
less. He is gone but the tears of affection viii
bedew his grave, and many, many sad memories
viii cluster around it. Manly above his years
for three weeks he bore his severe sufferings with
astonishing fortitude. Farewell, Dear Willie,
Ne more will thy merry carol awake us in the
morn to another day of toll and strife. Thy
bright, brief existence is ended like that Of soue
summer bird, which sings its song and dies. Thy
sufierings are over Thy happy spirit has found
brighter home than Earth, in the I" Palace halls
of Heaven" Again, Farewell, Dear Willie We
would be resigned, but life's shadows arc gatha-
ing thickly around US, and we fell like some old
oak, whose greenest bough, its JOY and It's pride,
has just been blasted by stroke from Heaven
4 last Farewell, Dear, Willie 1t is hard to
part with thee, but we submit with fearful res
ignation, to the decree Of that God who doeth all
things WELL and with faith in the word Of Him
who said, q Suffer little children to come unto
me, and forbid them not, for of such is the king
dom of Heaven"
:. Our dear ones are torn from US, one by one,
The golden links Of our souls love are severed
And mid the Quicksands and shoals Of life,
The heavy pillows Of adversely
Cast US forlorn and sorrowing.-It is well,
For God hath stricken US -
