had thrown off her mantle of darkness,

wendell its way to heaven, to join the
angels there. For only four short
months had this little daughter glad
dened their home. Oh, what sorrow to
have those hopes, so fondly built,
snatched away; but God in his wisdom
knoweth besf. The remains were car
ried to the Morton graveyard, where
comfort the sorrOwing hearts and en-
able them to so live that they may meet
! little Maggie Lee in the bright beyond.

is quite important to keep them little
