A REMEMBRANCE.
Died in Grand Coteau, October 6th, 1890, Edward Ross Tarlton.
Several weeks have elapsed since death closed our darling's eyes to all save 
heaven's light, and leaving a saddened hearth, a dreary waste in the hearts 
of home and friends. Long ere this should my voice have been raised in 
accents of love; but 'tis ever true that when the "heart is full, the lips 
are silent." For the two short years and a half that little Edward spent on 
earth, he was a ray of sunlight shedding warmth and happiness all around. 
His more than ordinary intelligence, his winning ways, childish prattle, and 
merry blue eyes, made him a household idol, a pet with all who knew him, and 
when God deemed it best to call one more angel to paradise, the sunshine of 
a home was darkened; and though we know and feel that heaven is the brighter 
for that darkness, still tear drops fall from our eyes in waves that will 
keep his memory green forever. To you, sorrowing parents, may the heaviness 
endure but for a night, and a morn of interminable joy follow, may peace and 
comfort be yours now, and everlasting happiness with him who is now an 
addition to the brightness of eternity.
