Tn Wolcott, Jan. It'll, after a brief illness of
10 hours, Herbert, son Of jackson and Lovina
Omstcad aged seven years, a most promising
and interesting child.
Thou hast made desolate all my company
LOB. ...-
There shone beam within my bower.
Affections diamond spark,
The spoiler came with fatal power,
That beam is quenched and dark;
There was light OF chill dhood's joy,
A laugh of infant glee
The earth closed Der my glorius boy
Ny nurseling-wHERE IS He?
There seemed a sound like rushing wings
So thick my sorrows came,
"A blight destroyed my precious things,
My treasures fed the flames
An ocean of unfathomed grief
Swept DER me with its waves,
And here all desolate stand,
Alone, amid my graves
ALoSE!-there flows no kindred tear.
No sympathizing sigh;
The feet of curious crowds are near,
Yet every cheek is dry
And is there nought but covering turf,
And cold earth loosely thrown.
To shut me from those cherished forms
Ny beautiful-my own?
Yet WHO this fearful change hath brought?
Who thus hath laid me low?
Was it hand with vengeance fraught?-
The malice of a foe?
No, he who calls my being forth,
From mute, unconscious clay,
He who with more than parents care,
Hath led me night and day.
Who erreth not-who changeth not.
Who wounded but to heal
Who dark meth not mans earthly lot,
Save for his spirits veal
Therefore, bow me TO his way
mourn, but not replne'
And chastened, yet confding | say
LORD, NOT MY WILL, BUT THINE.

Farewell darling Florance. thou hast left us
For the courts of Heaven above;
And thy loss, it has bereft us
OF thy young and child-like love.
Fare thee we'll, thou only one,
We'd not ask thy longer stay
From this world of sin and sorrow,
Thy little soul bias scared away.

All, we knew not till we lost thee,
That thou vast all angel here.
