Lines in memory of Lizzie Mckinney East
wood, who died in Dover, Mo-, March IL. 1882.
How fresh the memory of her sweet young face
Comes to my heart To-day, rs when beneath
The bright blue summer skies we parted last;
How little did / dream to meet no more
God took her. 'ere her guilelcss heart had known
Ausht of the stain or biIghting touch Of sin.
Her tender little feet had never tried
Life's toilsOme, rugged sleeps, nor wandered
| Of
Into forbidden paths. Like some fair flower
Plucked at the dewy morn, which still exhales
Its fragrance on the air-se, in the morn
OF her young life Of purity and love,
God called her spirit hence to dwell on high.
Sweet child of Innocence /! rest on In peace.
Thy lile-work ended, and thy mission done
Fond parents, weep not for your darling,
''y0ur loss is her gain.'
She is spared all the sorrow and heart-aches
OF earth, all LIES anguish and pain.
Though your hearts are bowed downward, and
stricken
Far deeper than language can tell,
You can say with the Shuna:nite mother.
cit Is well with the child. 1t is wvll."

years, son of Edwin and MolIie a. Zciler.
Poor little Eddie had been sorely afflicted all
his life, and his sufrerings had made everybody
his irIsnd. God, In His wisdom, had thrown a
veil over the chili's mind. which shut out all
aspirations, cut OF all happy anticipations. and
made the sweetest pleasures OF earth but y dim
incomprehensib!e subject. He was a constant
sufferer, yet cheerful, alTectionate. obedIept and
uncon planning. For nine days before his death
he scarcely knew even u momentary exemption
from pain and most Of the time his agony was
so intense that strong men gazed upon HIM and
wept IN sympathy. Death finally came upon
him as gently Us the dew falls upon the opening
lower, and we know that the dew of death has
expanded the beautiful flower OF his mind, and
to-day he looks back over his cherries life, and
praises God for all his suffering, because through
trihulations he has won Il crown of greater
glory. While here he Won our love and sympa.
