months ago. and the writer who pens
the sad, sad obituary, was the first
groomsman at their nuptials, and can

DEATH"
1.-THE light finer young life went down
AS sinks behind the hill
The glory ola setting star
Cleaf, suddenly, and Stlll.'
Died, on the 10th inst, Harry,
the beautiful little son of Dennis and
Mary Ryan, at Salt Lake City, Utah.
Mr.. Ryan and family have been
spending pleasant winter at Salt
Lake as guests of NJ. Cullen and wife,
when their youngest son, aged 10
months, was suddenly stricken with
that terrible disease pneumonia. But
the angel of death mercifuly relieved
the poor little fellow of his sufferings
and silently carried him off to that
Great Beyond, where there is no
more pain-no more tears. The af-
flicted parents have the heartfelt syn
pathy of their many friends of this
community ; and there is great con-
ISOLATION for them in their bereave.
ment, in the happy thought that
there is one mere little pair of hands
on the other side Outstretched to them
to come-one more precious little
treasure who would say, "sOon you
will join us, for we know not the
day or the hour"
Little Harry is gone to the happy and
best--
He has gone home to johnnie and Madge
and-rest;
They are all with the angels upon the
bright shore,
Where death cannot reach them-never-
more.
