the severest suffering. At the age
of II months, the beloved child re-

death brought relief at the early
age of nine years.
The 9th inst. was his 9th birth
day, and arrangements were made
for a dinner to his little friends,
but he was taken up to a brighter
and happier reunion.
This is the seventh out of
twelve children the stricken pa

May the kind Father, who doeth
all things well, sanctify this last
sorrow to the relief oftheir crush ed
hearts.
