FREDDIE EARL LEAGUE.
Died, on Thursday afternoon,
April 10Th, at fifteen minutes TO five
o'clock, Freddie Earl, son of Thomas
and Katie league; aged 1 year and
Is months.
He is gone, but who would think
He would be called so soon?
Leaving this world
Before his life had reached its noon.
Like flower, he came to bloom
And then decay
Like grass cut down and and wlthered away,
Our darling little Earl.
Our home is sad and lonely now,
When glad it used to be-
When childhood's voice was heard,
With laughter, light and free.
Put away his little playthings,
He will need them never more;
He is in Heaven now,
His earthly days are DER,
Our darling little Earl
Fold the little garments
And lay them gently by;
He will never need them
In his home on high.
God doth only know
The anguish of those who sigh and weep,
For the darling loved one they could not keep,
Our darling little Earl.
God doeth all things well;
He heals the heart and mind;
He is too wise, too good
To be unkind; and though
There's room in Heaven for all, and rest,
think he loves the little ones the best
Our darling Earl. IS
IN MEMoRIAM.
