Died.

MARKS - In this city, Sunday morning, March 21, Willie, youngest son of 
John H. and Jennie E. Marks, aged 2 years, 10 months and 9 days.
    He took the cup of life to sip,
    For bitter 'twas to drain;
    He put it meekly from his lip,
    And went to sleep again.
  Funeral from the residence of the parents, on Second avenue, between 
Fourth and Fifth streets, this (Monday) afternoon at 3 o'clock.
