BECK-In Biloxi, Miss, November :,
1873, at 10 O'clock, am, Mary, eldest
daughter of Mary Tapum aud the late Mel

Disease had made the lovely cheek
Grow pale and thin each closing day,
And yet we tain would sometimes seek
From hope little cheering ray;
And thus for months our Mamie dear
We watched with saddened heart,
Praying to God her life to spare,
And health again to her impart.
Alas! our prayers We're all in vain
Death had mission to fulfill
And Mamie's form was freed from pain,
Only to lie so cold and still.
Clothed in a robe of snowy white,
70 rest within the silent tomb;
Only to change our hope of light
Into the deepest, darkest gloom.
We smOothcd the light and silkcu hair
Ger brow If marble touch and hue,
While the lids with their fringes fair
Concealed her eyes of heavenly hlue;
The small hands of beautiful mould
We clasPcd upon her pulsrlcss breast
As they her Rosary loved enfold
With the flower white she loved the hest.
FANNIE.

Our Eddie is dead Sad words to utter.
and we can now hardly realize that he has
gone ont from among us never more to
return, but, alas! It's too true. He was

human skill and knowledge could suggest
was done to save his life, but the Father
above had called him and His summons
must be obeyed, and Eddie now sIeeps
the sleep that knows no waking till the
resurrection morn, He was bright and
promising boy, dearly beloved by his sis
ters, brothrr-iu-Iaw and friends, and gave
promise of life of much usefulness but
was cut down in the bloom of youth by the
