D1Ep-On the 2Oth inst, after a short i'll
ness of liberated Sore Throat, MADISON
LYcURGus Mcdowell, aged 8 years and 10
months
But few days ago this little boy was with
his kind and indulgent parents, and his af-
fectionate bothers and sisters, in good health
making glad their bearts with his obedience,
affection and pleasantly; Mt school he was
loved by his teacher and esteemed by his
| school mates, and he evinced commenda-
| BILE spirit for learning; at home he was his
parents joy; his smiling and playful counte-
nance was prettier than the prettest pic
lure, and no music sweeter to them than his
juvenile voice. What sudden interruption
of earthly pleasure and felicity. The beau
| tiful green sward where he oft did play is
there yet, and the neat cottage home: the lit
lie lamb Is sill heard bleatng on the vale;
and the little bee singing its busy lay; the
sweet evening zephyr plays as softly about
the ringleis of the two little brothers still
there, as it oft did about his. the careful and
kind father is still there, so is the tender and
loving mother, and the affectionate brothers
and sisters, and there Is still the works
of his tender little hands. All seems TO be
there but this little son and brother. He
has gone to the better land. His kind Sa-
viour when upon earth loved little children,
be took them in his arms and blessed them,
| his love still continues for them OH earth E;
and when he sees an earthly little flower
that blooms too lovely for earth he breaks
the tender twig and takes it home to his
bosom to be loved and forever blessed, and
the kind word comes home to the ones that
| loved the little boy to love Christ supremey,
that they may all join this dear little boy in
the better land.
"Dreams cannot picture world SO fair,
Sorrow and death cannot enter there,
| Time doth not breath on the tadeless bloom
Beyond the clouds, beyond the tomb"
