 The death of Frankie Morse, only son of H. F. Morse, has cast gloom over this whole place. Loving and attractlye, he was universal favorite, and not only is this heavy blow to his family, but to all who knew him. Many heart is saddened, and many an eye IS dimmed with tears, when we think of him but lately among us full of life and joyousness, now so sudden ly cut of. He will be greatly missed by his playmates, missed by his class in the Sab bath school, where he was so regular an st- tendant, and where by his kind and gentle ways, he had won the love of teacher and classmates, but Oh most of all will he be missed in his home, by that father and mother who have so carefully watched over his young life, sheltering him from harm and danger, and laying bright plans for his future. Who can tell the anguish of their hearts, when they no longer see Frankie's emiing face, nor hear hls ringing laugh. his bounding footstep. and his happy words. But "Of such is the kingdom of heaven. ' We coveted for him the best gifts, which, however, we could not give. Now he. has them. immortal life, eternal joy, and that perfect freedom from sin and sorrow, which none on earth can know. He will mol soon be forgotten, for although so yonng in him many hopes were centred, and around his grave sad fond memories will finger.
