record the death of the little favoritc whose
smiling face and kind words ever welcomed his
footsteps to- her mothers home, how terrible to
that mother our afflicted sister, isth realization
of the mounful event which is told in the above
few lines. In the Empire Of Death, several of
herchildren and many other relativesand friends
to whom she was bound by the strongest ties,
aslecp their last sleep = but few months have
elapsed since she followed to tLeir resting place,
the remains of ON only son, a young man uron
whose exertion and protection she had some
right to count in the future. and now to commit
to the tomb the form of beloved daughter al
most blooming into womanhood, is calculated
to render her quite Indifferent toa life so liable
to such melancholy interruptions. But SUCH
CONCENTRATIONS Of the shades of existence are
profitless; while we indulge in grief for the
dead, We must remember that our duties pertain
to the living few years only will pass ere the
writer of this and all his readers v i'll be moul-
sdering in the dust, and since Providence has
made it our duty, 30 will il be found our hapli
ness, to dismiss sorrow as soon as possible and
engage actively and usefully in the performance
Of our several parts, in this most strange and
incxrlicable Of all dramas, called LIE!

"Alas my noble boy that thou shouldst die -
l. I'll. -.
That death should settle i'm thy glorious eye,
And leave his stiffness in this cluste. ing hair!
"How could he mark thee for the silent tomb. "
This sudden and unexpected stroke has caused
not only the hearts Of his parents to bleed with
sorrow, but the heart Of the neighborhood is
throbbing over its loss. sE s@'
There was but one conviction and that was,
had he lived, he would shave made his ,nark.''
The healthy discipline to which he was SUBJ
jccted, by kind and dutiiul parcnts,was fitting
him for responsible duties in the drama of life.
When fond hopes were just being realized,
when. the ties of earthly love had grown strong
when his future pathway seemed strcwn with
flowers, death came andbore the prize away.
| But there fingers in the heart a sustaining
hope that we shall see "Winnie' again bloom
