ID. c. and ELLA S. ToMPKINS, aged two
years, eleven months and twenty'siS,
Haf He was child of quick and 'peerrtcep.
tive intellect, unnaturally tenacious
memory, cheelfuland happy disposition,
very active and sprightly in his habits,
and ND to the time OF his fatal illness
was always in excellent health, having i
stout and robust constitution. Iii all, he
formed that perfection in mind, body.
disposition, and habits which made him,
an object Of soimuch hope, affection, . and.
happiness, not only to bis parents and
relatives, but all 'whC knew him He
was, too, at that young and tender age,
when the mantle of innocence protected
him from the sins OF the world. To his
loving parents he was the source of all
those closo knit and ideep-rooted affec-.
tons, which are eSobountiful in the breast
of kind-heated father, and, especially
of young mother TO. her only child.
How their minds delighted in theplea-
sing. auticipations OF his future .apilityl
But alas! this chill blast OF trouble has
nipped their sprinsing joys sands and all their
fond hopes are obliterated.
After lingering in the excruciating
equipoise OF. life aud death for one week,
choked up By the sitting hand Of Dip
iberia, his even as yet hardy and youth
ful constitution was compelled 70 yield
to the power OF the disease ); then his
tender soul, uncontaminated. by, tho
follies and crimes Of this world, peace
fully returned to the arms Of his glad
iened Maker, who loved him too dearly
To expose him to tho msfortunes and
| trials of this uncharitable land. ;,y,..,
Yet how he is missed athiS late home !!
| His vacant chair, his empty crib, his idle
toys, indeed every scene calls up sorrow
from the breast, pierces the full heart,
and compels il more and more to rise.
| Though now gone he is doubly bleSt,
having love on earth and glory in the
heavens. -.... AT i.fri .s!i4l =, r
