She was one year and eleven months old. Lessie was a little sufferer the greater part of her short life, but now her pain is over. This is the third flower that has been transplanted from this home to the fields elysian. One more little lamb has Jesus folded to his bosom, to be shielded forever from the biting cold and wintry blasts of our old world of sin. may the bereaved parents, brothers and sister one day be as securely sheltered in the Master's peaceful fold. F. A. DOWNS. Flint, Texas.
