At the residence of S. w. Lauderdale,

LEE FRENCH. daughter of Thomas VI.
French, aged years and months.
Death strikes even the little child
while it smiles beautifully in life's young
morn. Only year since there was a
little family happy in the circlets of love
the ''call' came, and little Johnnie
whose foot prints had scarcely touched the
shore, passed back to the Father; only n
few months more-and the young mother
with tears still in her heart for the lit
tie flower that had just bl oomed and with
cred, was called" aud passed into the
Valley; six months more, and little EFFIE,
the only CLEAN of sunshine left-the only
link that held life's hope, is ''called," and
the heart sinks sadly, as the souls last
treasure-departs. Is there any consola-
ton? sSuffer little children to come unto
me, the Son hath said il; and we CAN
believe. The grief is with US; but the
child is with it's mother. Can you gaze
upn the living face Of a child or mother
and doubt that there is SOMETHING in the
love that mantles their beauty that binds
them through all Nature and Eternity
Yes; Babe and Eiie, have met again.
