Over all was tho rich tulle vail, caught
back over the forehead by a wreath of
orange blossoms and held back by the
same, SO as to fall in rich folds over the

DIED at the Convent of the Sacred

Blessed arc the pnre of heart, for they

A young and innocent spirit has fled
from earth and winged it's way to the
realms OF bliss; n vacant place is left in
the parental mansion and within the
Convent walls, but the Angelic Choirs
rejoice at the admission of new mem
Der destined to chant with them forev-

to all. Z - - - -
Endowed with spirit of faith and
fervent piety rarely found in q child of
her tender years, her respectful atti-

holy time of prayer were a subject of

was Il model of patience and resigna-

generously offering to Con the sacri-

than life itself. What solace can we
offer to her afflicted friends, except to
exclaim in the language of the Holy
Catholic church, "Sursum Corda."
Let us raise our hearts and eyes to
Heaven and behold her whose early
loss we mourn, enjoying sweet and
eternal repOse upon the bosom Of Him
who in His infinite mercy called her to
Himself ere her pure spirit had been
sullied by the communicating breath of
sin, or her young heart saddened by
the many Wees which are the constant

who journey long in this vale of tears.
Thou art gone, innocent child! thou
hast been removed from this earth,

which the darkness Of night has been
forever banished by the effulgent rays
of the Divinity, there to enjoy with
thee the beatitude promised to the pure i;c
