Deaths,

Aimee, the little daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Morehead, who reside on South
street, near Fourteenth died very suddenly
about II o'clock Tuesday forenoon. Mrs.
MOrehead had rocked her to sleep and
stepped for a moment or two to n neigh
boris. Returning, she looked into the
cradle, saw that her baby was sleeping
quietly, and passed into another room.
She was gone but a short time, and when
she came in again, she found her darling
dead, with a sweet, peaceful smile upon
her little face. Mrs. Morehead was almost
overcome with grief, and cried out, in the
anguish of her hearts so that her neighbors
heard and came to her assistance.
Aimee has been more or less a sufferer
during the nineteen months of her exist
ence, but vas seemingly no nearer death
when her mother rocked her to sleep Tues
day morning than was usual. Mr.. and
Mrs. Morehead were greatly attached to
this their youngest, and have the sincere
sympathy of the entire community,
Somebody's baby has fallen asleep
Over there mid the city's din;
Over there where they toll and spin
And sell and barter and lose and win;
Spite of the clamor and strife they keep,
Somebody's baby has fallen asleep.
somebody's baby has fallen asleep,
flushed it lies in the darkened room,
Tear watched all through this long days
gloom,
Flower bedecked for this tiny tomb,
Kissed and kissed where the wee pearls
sonebody's baby has fallen asleep,

Somebody's precio2-, peerless pet,
Love-rocked erst, IN its robe teaf 1rt
Here will lie ere the sun has set;
Here poor eyes will weep and weep
For somebody's baby fallen asleep.
Somebody's baby has fallen asleep;
Woe for us II the end were here!
Woe for us if we know no cheer
Past the mystery, past the bier!
WOE if for aye We're the slumber deep
OF somebody's baby fallen asleep.
somebody's baby has fallen asleep;
Thou, o Christ! who for aye and aye
Rolled the stone from the grave away,
Speak to the grief swept hearts to-day;
Whisper to them that Thy strong arms
keop
Somebody's baby just fallen asleep"
