DIED,IMay l6, 1895, of lung fever, Harry
Devaughan, infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. De-
vaughan. Little Harry was born September,
1894. The remains were inferred in the Fair
view cemetery. Mr.. Devaughan and family ar
rived from Kansas three weeks ago to make
their home among us. The family have the
sympathy OF the entire neighborhood in their
sad bereavement. Little Harry fingered in the
balances for many days, but he at last sue
cumbed to the inevitable. Three times one day
he was seen to smile, in answer to the angels
gaze, as a beautiful flower rewards its admirer
with sweetest fragrance. You will miss the
smile that dwelt on ruby lips. The little cheek
laid so confdingly on yours; you will miss the
merry baby laugh, the sweetest music of all to
your loving hearts; you will miss him when
the board is spread and when the prayers are
ssid; you VIII miss him as the priceless gem
rose you see, or like the blossom on a tree; OF
like dainty flower in May. With his eyes OF
heavenly blue and clustering curls of hair so
fair; all his wiles and cunning ways, like an
echo treasured'in memorys sacred vault, but OF
gems and jewels rare, and of many pearl that
but your little diamond was sent as the angel
of patience to calm your hearts with healing
balm and lay the tempest of hope and fear
to reconcile life's smile and tear. There's
quiet in your darlings look there's rest protray-
ed on his still countenance; look OF love and
patience rare that teaches us to endure that
which God has ordained, free from a murmur.
But death found a strange beauty on that
polished brow and dashed 1t out; there was
tint of rose on cheek and lip; he touched the
veins with ice, and those dear blue eyes closed
upon earthly things for the last time, to
awaken to the splendor of heavenly home
beyond the skies; he has crossed the dark
river Graded in the arms of Jesus, while the
white-robed angels sang lullabys OF peace and
rest Little Harry has passed through the
crystal portals of light and now walks with the
snow white throng through mansions above
One more little spirit has sundered the fetter,
that bound 1t within the mould of clay, ant
