DIEp.-MaTch 31st, at the home of his
parents south of town, Joseph Banheld,
aged 12 years. He was q good boy, affec-
tionate in his disposition. and tenderly
loved by his parents, Joseph and Caro-
line Banfield, and many friends. He was
attacked with rheumatism and fever
about the first of January last. His dis
ease seemed to yield and hopes were en-
tertained of his recovery. AT length his
heart became involved, and after weeks
of suffering, he passed away. His death
was not only peaceful but triumphant; /;
he had been carefully taught by his par
ents, and in the Sunday school; he gave
his young heart to the Lord, and said,
81 love Jesus, aud Jesus loves me; am
not afraid to die; if it is Gods will that
l should die, He will take me to Heaven"
When the time of his departure drew
near. he Was very happy. He said to his
weeping friends. "do not cry, am going
to Heaven" He asked them to sing; he
made many utterances, full of exulta-
tion, showing that he trusted that Jesus
who is the resurrection and the life.
The parents and friends mourn. this is
natural, but they also rejoice, knowing
it is we'll with him. He is free from all
pain; he is safe in the heavenly home,
and while he may not return TO them,
they may 60 to him.
