sleep in Jesus. She was three years
and five months old and a household
favorite. For a year she has been af-
hicted with a spinal trouble and bore
her suffering with childish simplicity
that touched the hearts of all who
knew her. All the tender care of low
ing parents and the skill Of physicians
we're Of no avail and she fingered only
q short time ON earth, bringing happi'
ness and sunshine into a home, before
being called from earth to heaven.
Once more the Pcarly Gates have opened wide
To give a welcome to q little child;
once more Gods holy angels swiftly glide
Around a childish soul so free and wild.
To-day she's resting on our Savior's breast,
Forgetful of all earthly toll and care;
Her little head now wears a crown OF rest,

HlhchlnS in any quarter. John Bull S
heart was hardened. not softened by un-
expected disaster. The most ardent peace
advocate did not venture to take up his
para BILE yesterday. There was only one
expression heard in the clubhouse, eX-
changes and streets, this was that the
war must go on to the bitter end with
redoubled energy and overwhelming re-
sources. and British prestige to be re-
stored for the honor and safety of the
empire
What will the Natal field force do
now?" is the question on every tongue
1t is simply supplying an answer by
fighting with spirit and discipline. When
the Beers have renewed their attack, will
1t retreat or stand its ground, remaining
ON the defensive and fighting desperate
ly? The latter alternative is accepted
by nearly all military writer's, since it
cannot find better defensive position
at Colenso and retreat to Pietermaritz-
burg and Durham would involve a long
march of 189 miles. with the Beers har-
assing the rear column.
Butler will now settle the question,
not White, and he is not considered by
many critics or intimate friends as likely
to begin campaign by ordering an
abandonment of Natal and enkindling a
blaze of disaffection among the Dutch of
Cape Colony. Yet the most candid admit
that the position at Ladysmith is very
weak from a defensive point of view.
The valley where the town lies is shell
tered by circle of irregular hills, on the
crests of which the garrison is in
trenched. Outside this circle is another
concentric one with similar circle of
hills. and beyond this there is another.
The tidings Of the severe loss incurred
by the Worcestershire regiment and the
Irish fusileers are discussed most seri-
ously by English Afrikanders, and those
Englishmen who know South Africa from
within. One expression OF opinion I
quote from a prominent leader:
I'm my view, the rumor of this defeat
diligently spread and exaggerated as it
will be by assiduous Boer agents in every
village of Cape Colony, must entirely
outweigh the moral effect of earlier Brit
ish victories upon the cape Dutch. Even
If ONE could reach them and proclaim the
precise truth as industriously as those
agents publish distortions, it would be
impossible by citing anything short of
entire capitulation Of the entire Boer
forces to counteract the effect of the
news that so large number of British
are IN the hands of the Boers.''
