LITTLE DANNIE.
Called back; his mis- sion ended
The brave little heart at rest.
The busy baby fingers, fold softly DER his breast
The brown eyes dark and loving,
Sleep meath the lids, snow white,
The childish. restless feet have strayod through
the gates of light
Called back; at Christmas time
When the hearts Of the sons of men.
Grow soft as the infant, Jesus, Is born on earth
When the chorus of the angels
Ring sweet on the wintry air.
And peace good will to man, is brooding every
where
Called back; to the Fathers house,
Who gave and took again,
Ere on the pure young brow. one sin had left its
stain.
Oh Dannie our angel boy
Let your spirit be our guide,
thy side

and put in stock of goods that will be a
credit to that city | have been surprised
during my visit there at the amount of
building that is going on. 1t certainly
indicates a healthy growth, and furnishes
great encouragement to a man who seeks
to invest capital there. The town is GERS
tainly in prosperous condition and gives
every indication that prosperity will be
permanent
