But alas! death entered the happy family, and in
one short week. tho spirits of the three children were

Another child was born to the bereaved parents aud
under the influence of its smiles, the wounds of an.
guish began to heal. But again, death came and the
brightest spirit of little Elizabeth has gone join her
