Leggettc. At B o'clock they came down from Heaven and claimed our» dear baby, Spencer McCullean, as theii oWn and took him fro the arms of his mother to the arms of our Blessed Savior, who had prepared a better place for him to dwell evermore. He was a rose but budded on earth for a sHort lime for which to bloom in Heaven for- ever. Gone to thy rest fair child, Gone to -thy dreamless bed, While so gentle, undefiled, With blessings on thy head. Before the heart had learned In waywardness to stray; Before thy feet had ever turned The dark und downward way. Because thy smile was fair, '1 hy lips and eyes so bright; * ' Heeause thy loving cradlecare Was such a dear delight. So fades the loving, blooming flower, Frail smiling solace of an hour! So soon our trainsient comforts fly, And pleasure only blooms to die. Written by LOUISE LEGGETTE.
