MARK WELLINGTON, youngest child
of the late Donatus Wellington and Helen
M. Thompson, in the 3rd year of his age.
1t is hard to realize that dear little Mark
has left rs and gone to that celestial realm
70 meet and be forever with his father in
Heaven, but as God always doeth all
things right we must try and be resigned
to our great and irreparable loss No more
on earth shall we see our dear little darl.
ing, whose loving presence cheered us
through the sad and weary hours of The
day. Our hearts have been sorely tried,
but when we think Of that happy home 10
which our dear little Mark has gone all
our grief is hushed and all our solicitude
ior his future happiness Is put TO rest. For
dod has said, Suffer little children TO
come unto Me, and forbid them NOT. for If
such is the Kingdom of Heaven.
There is voice shall hear no moro
Those tones whose music for me are DER.
sweet as the odors of spring were they
Precious and rich but they died away;
Lhey came like peace TO my heart and ear -
Never again will they muTmur here;
Ihey have gone like the blush Of o summer
morn,
Like a crimson cloud through the sunset
borne.
