Little Addie.

She tlcepe MMf Fto««r». Little Addio Bleeps within her flowery bod, An angol guardian keeps his watch around hor head ; Wo know hor little spirit's gone To a brighter, holler, happier homo, And when hor mother hath nlso slept. She'll And little Addle whom tho ansol kept.

What heart oan bo silent when witnessing thnt doep and agonizing grief, that all pervading, soul-absorbing sorrow lhat rends tho hoart of a fond mother as she tees ono dearer to hor than all else of earlh about to be torn from hor by tho death angel 7 Within a few brief days wo havo seen ono who was boautiful a. was over of mortal mould made, a little, bright, hopeful spirit, suddenly arrested in its childhood sports, and laid upon the bod of pain and languishing. Quickly as tho courser treads his path to the goal, so quickly did tho Angol of Death march on, agoni Ing its littlo limbs, paling its boautiful cheek, and scattering away its bright and rosy hues It was indoed a race of tho swift against tho slow, a battle of the mighty with tho weak. Tho trial was a short one ; tho oruol messenger soon stood beforo his lovoly victim, and waved his banner among her boautiful trosses. *he Bleeps—the sleep thatknowsno wnking-and cruel Doath looks on and sees tho sorrow ho has scattered among bleedinghoarto around; but ho cannot triumph long; another mossongor has come, with bright and glorious countenance, and olaims tho child, saying, "Tho child i« not dead, but tleepeth."

Thou wilt soo thy swoet child when thy life shall bo o'er, But thy beautiful Addle will dwell hero no moro. Then weep no more, mother, this child thoahaat given, To dwelt in her boautiful home, up in Heaven.
