The Little Boy That Died.
BY MAUD X. LILLY.
In memory of little Eugene c. Strain,
who went to Jesus, March 6, 1905.

In memory OF little Eugene y. oIfdln,
who went to Jesus, March 6, 1905.
Adown the daisied pathway, where but
yesterday we roved,
The sunshine CLEANS resplendant on the
flowers that he loved;
The grasses bend to meet the breeze
that gently round them plays
And Ger the tiny violets the yellow
jonquil sways.
The azure of the dome above reflected
in his eyes,
Was heavens S own blue wherein we saw
a glimpse of Paradise;
And in the feeting, baby smile and
dimples nesting there,
God lent a touch of angel grace to
charm us unaware!
But now he lies there silent, on a couch
Of lilies fair;
And within darkened chamber where
no sunbeams kiss his hair,
Nor light of love, nor gladness can his
countenance illume,
Where the Reaper with his sickle reigns
in state amid the gloom.
We have stifed in our bosoms all the
anguish and the woe;
We have tried to bear it bravely and
have said "'Tis better so,"
But tears will rise, unbidden from the
heart that's full of pain. :,
AS the bitter thought arises 1--WE shall
see him ne'er again.
Never mid the nodding daisies that
would beckon as he'd pass,
Never mid the graceful fern fronds
Or the tall, rank meadow grass,
In his little soiled gpink pinafore, OF
dainty muslin dress,
For a tiny mound Of earth is all that
left us to caress!
Does he miss the smiling flowers in the
land where he is now?
Does he think of meadow daisies, with
crown upon his brow?
With Gods angels bending Ger him
and Gods music on his tongue,
Does he ever pause to miss us, or tn
songs which we have sung?
In that land of light and beauty naugh
can grieve his peaceful breast,
"Where the wicked cease from troub
ling and the weary are at rest,
But oh! God, while with thine angels h
is singing side by side,
Our poor, human hearts are longing TO
the little boy, that died!

is partially under the same roof, ex-
tends through to Diamond street. The
Avenue had been closed for several
weeks, and no one was ip the building
except the Waterman, but in the opera
house matinee performance was in
progress when the IRE broke out. Tho
house was about hair hlled, but
through the ryompt and systematic
work Of the employees the audience was
gotten out without the semblance Of a
panic; indeed. the majority did not
know there was IRE until they
reached the street. Several women
tainted when they came to realize
what might have happened.
