Lmic May has fallen asleep. She only
l)udded on earth to bloom in Heaven. God
whispered such sweet words to the baby child
and the n-.elody of the angels was so unlike
the “by l)ys” all mothers sing, that the child
listened enraptured, and as tlie soft, low mn-
s.c continued, and the gentle Saviour held '
out his arms, she nestled her little head close
to his l;osoni and fell asleep. Heedless of
cveiTthing baby May sleeps. The little cas-
ct IS smaller than the cradle, but bal)y does
not.mind, They strew the child with llow-
God’s flowers, the only things pure and
S.veet enough for this, but the iiulc fir,rers
so wont to pluck then, in pieces do not cCsay
to ptiier tliem now, and the sculi)tured
hands clasping the tiny liilics, reminds one
of a pretly carved vase in which one has
placed choice flowers. Clirist i;ends lovin-
V over the little one, and her face eatchin^
the leHection of las, sends back a smile not
of cm til but of 1‘Ictivcii. *
