Mr.. EDIToR-It again becomes our melancholy
duty TO record the death of another lovely little babe
"CARRIE" infant daughter of FRANKLIN VINCENT
and ELIZABETH JANE COOPER, in the second year Of
her age. She died at The residence Of her Grand
Father on the 18th October last
The love of n devoted Mother, the affection Of q
Father the kindness Of friends, could not stay her
flight. A kind Saviour bid her come, and she must
go. May this sad event to them, (but joyful 10 herr
teach them that their stay on earth is Short and may
they be more engaged in doing their Heavenly Fathers
will, that when ie's feeting hour is over they may
meel their dear little CARRIE where parting is no

For we know thou hast forever
Little "CARRIE, gone 10 rest,
To return, we'd have thee never,
From the kingdom of the blest."

community, frequently manifested in acts Of practical
benevolence and charity. He was, in the widest
sense of the term, an honest man, the noblest work

He did not connect himself with any church, but

entertained for thirty years an abiding hope Of saliva

stronger in faith he manifested more zeal and interest
in his Heavenly Fathers Cause, and took up his cross
with good degree of cheerfnlness, engaging in fami.
y worship, and joining his brethren in prayer meetings
and other religious duties. For several years previous
