HER FATHER.

JAMES NORWOOD TAPscorT.-The New
Year, replete with joy to so many, has
brought sorrow to one family In the VII
lage of Millenbeck for Mr.. John Tap
scott and his devoted wife are now
bowed with grief over the loss of their
eldest child, Norwood, who, after year
of patient suffering, succumbed at its
close and has begun his New Year In
Heaven
A youth of fifteen with a thoughtful
nature beyond his years; Always consider
ate Of others, ii was no wonder he
was idolized by his parents and that his
mother should have exclaimed in the
agony of her bereavement: 81 cannot
bear It."
She saw him depart with his father
Tor Baltimore In November for medical
treatment, where kind friends did all to
alleviate his condition; and finally when
even hope was baffled they sustained him
by powerful stinulants until his parents
could reach him. Recognizing them,
even In extremis, he asked for every
member Of his family calling each by
name. Said he had prayed to live but
was ready to go to Jesus.
Thus he died. His earthly nature chung
to home and its environments; his
Heavenly nature triumphed In his close
OF life, and the Jesus whose seal had been
laid upon his brow in baptism, was with
him to comfort him.
Norwood was candidate for the
Holy rite of confirmation. He was a
boy TO be depended upon amid any cir
cumstances. How well the writer re-
members his tender solicifude when in
the school room. He was ever mindful
OF his teachers comforts when the writer
was his teacher for few months.
The perfect little gentleman has left
US; we are still cropping here; he. has
risen above all pain, disappointmeuts,
worries and every i'll to which we earthly
ones are subjected
His parents. brothers and sisters will
seize upon the promises to which be
chung aud which he derived from the
little Testament given him by loving
friend in Baltimore.
