In Mennoriam.

Ravely has the angel of death more
rightly and noiselessly crossed the
threshold of q happy home. leaving
behind its blighting touch of desola-
ton and grief. as when on Saturday
afternoon December 10th, it bore
away little Annie Lamb. the beloved
little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas II. Battle.
This little girl was SO essential to
the happiness of that home, she was
SO gentle, SO patient, SO sweet spirit
ed, and being frail as the result Of
severe illness two years ago, her pa
rents watched over her with the
tenderest solicitude bestowing all
they deemed best for her welfare and
comfort and to their loving ministra-
tives she was ever responsive.
To her it seemed not only a pleas
ure. but a duty to take leave of her
playthings and for her dolls she
cherished an intense affection. and
doubtless the little play house con
tains many treasured possessions that
first gladdened her childish heart.
In the sixth year Of her age-sur-
rounded by all they could make her
childhood a happy, joyous Hne, day
by day her young life unfolded re-
vealing beautiful traits of character
to the devoted parents. This lovely
child was rudely torn from their fond
embrace, leaving their hearts crushed
and bleeding.
And then came sympathetic friends
who took the little body to the ceme-
terry tenderly laid it in it's last resting
place and heaped the mound with
beautiful flowers typical of the pure,
sweet life of little Annie Lamb.
And SO it was all over ere the
stricken household could scarce
grasp what had befallcn them.
But sometime we trust they can un
derstand-
Sometime when all LIES lessons
have been learned
And sun and stars forever more have
set,
The things which our weak judgments
here have spurned,
The things Ger which we grieved
with lashes wet.
Will flash before us out of Lies dark
night,
As stars shine most in tints of deeper
blue
And we shall see how all Gods plans
were right,
And how what seemed reproof was
love most true"
May the grief stricken mother, who
has laid aside the love-tokens she was
preparing, with an eye of Faith
through binding tears catch glimpses
of her little darling more radiantly
happy this coming Christmas tide
than she has ever been before, the
angels supplying all her wants IN
chat fair cline beyond the touch
where she lives again and forever.
