Death of lie Roy Neeves.

In our last issue we spoke Of 1t
Roy Neeves being very sick and re
ported dying, and in this issue We
chronicle his death. He died at Pros
pect Park, III May IS, 1881, of Ca
tarrhal Pneumonia. He was the only
child of Mr.. and Mrs. W. B. Neeves,
aged 5 years l month and 4 days, at
the time of his death. He was a
bright promising boy for his age, and
the happiness of the family. He was
always considered strong and rugged,
but was taken with the measles, and
caught cold, resulting in the above
sickness, from which he died. The
following piece of poetry was written
since his departure, and being so APP
propriata we give it publication.
The face, which duly as the sun,
Rose up for me with life begun,
To mark all bright hours OF the day
With daily love- is dimmed away
And yet my days go on. go on.
The tongue, which like a stream could
run
Smooth music from the toughest stone
And every morning with 'Goodday'
Made each day good, is hushed away
And yet my days go on, go on.
Whatever's lost, it first was won!
We will not struggle nor impugn,
Perhaps the cup was broken here
That Heavens new wine might show more
clear.
l praise Thee while my days go on!
Ipraise Thee while my days GO on,
love Thee while my days go on,
Through dark and dearth, through fire
and frost.
With empted arms and treasure lost,
1 thank Thee while my days go on
