G. Mckinney, aged 18 months and a days
One week ago to-day we beheld, with grief
and agony. the dear form of little Mollie laid in
''the church yard low.' Twas hard to give up
our darling and pet, but God-in his wisdom, has
taken the dear one from the sorrows to come
We miss her innocent, prattling tongue; we hear
not the patter Of her little feet at close of even,
when tired Of play, she was wont to come and
put up her dear arms, begging, 90 innocently to
be rocked to sleep. Her bright and sparkling
eyes We may never see more, yet we would not
call the blest one back. Ere her pure, young
heart had been stained by the sins of earth, she
wis gathered safe into the Shepherds fold. Her
sweet spirit now basks in the sunlight Of sa-
viour'g lore.
