Musical Gazette and Review, OF New
York, recently lost little daughter about
five wears of age. In announcing her
death, he uses the following touching
I language:
Kllie is gone. Where To heaven.
An angel came and took her away. She
was lovely chlld-gentle as little lamb;
the pet OF The whole family; the Youngest
of them all. Bot she could not stay with
US any longer. She had an angel sister
in heaven who was waiting for her. The
angel-sster was with us only a few
months but she has been in heaven many
wears, and she must have loved kitile, for
everybody loved her. The loveiiest flowers
are often soon pIucked. If a liuie voice
sweeter and more MUSCLE than others was
heard, knew kilte was near. If my
sIudy-door was otened 50 gently and silly
that no sound could be heard, | knew
Kille was coming. If after an hour ;
quiet play, little shadow passed me, and
the door opened and shut as no one else
could open and shu! it, so as not TO dis
turb papa, knew KIHle was gong.
When, in the midst Of my composing, |
heard gentle voice saying Papa may

work, to assure me that i! WAS my little
lamb. You staid with me too long.

snalches of melody as they were being
composed. miss those soft and sweet
kisses. miss the little hand that was

to drive away the pain | MISS the
sound of those little feet upon the stairs
miss the IiuIe knock at my bedroom
door in the morning, and the triple good
night kiss in the evening. miss The
sweet smiles from the sunnlesl OF faces.
miss-oh how miss the foremost III Tie
little group who came out to meet me al
the gate FOR the first kiss. do not stoop
so low now, Killie, 50 give that first kiss.
miss you al the table, and al family wor-

you. miss you in my rides and walks.

every where; but will Try not TO miss
You IN Heaven. Papa, If we are good,
will an angel truly come and take us to
Heaven when We die 2 When the ques-
ton was asked, how little did think the
angel was so near But he did truly
come, and the sweet flower IS transplant
ed to a more genial cline. i DO wish
papa would come home Wait a lItde
while, kltlie, and papa will come. The
Journey is not long He will sooa be

APPLES AS AN ARTICLE OF Food
With US the value of the apple ls far under
rated. Besides containing large amount
Of sugar, muclIage and other nutritious
matter, apples contain vegetable acids,
aromatic qualities, &C., which act power
fully in the capacity of re(rlngrants, tones,
and antisepucs; and when freely used al
the season of maIIow ripeness, they pre-
vent debility, Indigestion, and avert, with
out doubt, many of the ills which flesh
rs heir to- The operators of Cornwall,
England, consider ripe apples nearly as
nourishing as bread, and far more so than
potatoes. In the year 1901, which was
a year Of much scarcity, apples, instead
of being converted into cider, were sold
to the poor; and the laborers asserted that
thev could stand their work on apples
without meat, whereas potato diet re-
onlred meat or some other substantial nu-
,rimenl. The French and Germans use
apples extensively, as do The inhabitants
of all European nations. The laborers
depend upon them as an article OF food,
and frequently make dinner OF sliced ap-
ples and bread. There is no fruit cooksd
in as many different ways, in our country,
as apples; nor is there any fruit whose val
ue, as an article of nutriment, IS as grea'
and so lille appreciated.
