DIED.

On the 5th inst., Howard R. D. Blake, son of Samuel and Margaret A.
Blake, aged 10 years, 11 months and 23 days.

"Dear as thou wert, and justly dear,
We will not weep for thee;
One thought shall check the starting tear,
It is that thou are free.
And thus shall faith's consoling power
The tears of Love restrain;
O, who saw that now thy parting hour,
Could wish thee here again."
