THE THINGS THAT HETEB DIE.
The pare, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our fa eart in youth,
Tbeimpulss to worldles prayer,
The dreams of lore and troth ;
The loogingi after something lost,
The spirits yearning cry,
The striring after better hopes,
Them thinrs can never die.
The timid hand itretebed forth to aid
A arotner in Bis neea.
The kindly word in grief dark boar
That proroe a friend indeed ;
The plea of merey, eoftly breathed,
When justice threatens high,
Tbasorrowe of a contrite heart
The thingf shall never die.
The memory of a elasping hand,
The pressure of a kins,
And all the trifles, sweet and frail.
That make ap lore's first bliss ;
If with a firm unchanging faith,
And holy trast and high.
These hands haTe!asped,those lips bare met,
Those things shall never die.
The cruel sad the bitter word,
That wounded as it fell,
The chilling want of sympathy,
We feel, bat never tall ;
The hard repulse that chills the heart
Whose hopes were branding high,
Is sn unfading reoord kept.
These things shall Barer die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Most find asms work to do ;
Lose not a ehanee to waken lore
Be firm, be just, be true;
So shall a light that eannot fade
Beam on thee from on high,
And angel roiees say to th
Thete things shall nerer die.
A 6rt,t Sermon by a Little Preacher.
"papa goes there.'
-please
"Mayn't I go with yon, papa?
say I may, won't you ?"
Tie words were uttered in a plaintive
and sadly entreative tone, the hands of the
Epeaier clasping the tnees of the listner.
It was a boy of seven years who lisped.
them; a beautiful boy, with fair high brow,
around which there clustered a glorious
wreath of auburn earls; with dark, flashing
eyes; cheeks rosy with health; lipa Jike
the cherries, of summer, and a voice like the
bird which taste them. There were tears
in those eyes at this time, though, and the
dimpled mouth was quivering.
It was a man of some thirty-five who list
ened to this plea ; a man who had been of
noble looks and princely bearing. Ay, had
been 1 for the blighteat truth was written
over his form and face. His locks were
matted, his forehead scowling, his eyes red,
bat aot with tears ; there were farrows on
bis cheeks, too, and brutish look to the ex
preHBion of his hps. Twice did the little
boy address him ere he answered. Then
pushing the child rudely from him, he said.
ra a stern voice, 'No, no. It's no place for
you.
Again those fair, small hands encircle the
knees.
Too go papa. Why can't I go too?
Io let me go.
For a moment the heart of the inebriate
seemed to wake from its 6leep. He shud
dered u he thought of the character of the
plsoe bis pure-souled boy would enter. He
took the chili tenderly in his arms, and
kissed him as of old : then putting him
dowa, he said kindly :
"Too mint not ask me again to take you
'here. It ig no plaoe for little boys," and
fixing his hat hurried from the room, mur
muring to himself as he paced the way to
the brilliant bar-room, "and no place for
men, either. Would to God I had never
rone."
For a long time Willie stood just where
bi father had left him: then turning to
tl few embers that faintly glowed upon
the hearth he sat down in his little chair,
a-i resting hU head upon his mother's top,
aid earnestly:
"Mamoia.why Lsn't that pretty store a good

were.
It was a trying question to the poor, heart
woken woman. She had so far kept from
n-r son the knowledge of his father's sin
ene could not bear that he should look with
shame upon him or that his pure and gen
tie heart should thus commune with so in
a grief. Kindly she toyed with his
j"g ringlets for a while, then sajd endear
jngly: "Papa knows better than you what
best for his little boy. When you grow old
r you will learn why he does not wish to
le you. '
Then rising carefully put down her babe
upon its Utile bed, and tied on her hood
od cloak.
"Mind the cradle now, Willie; I'll come
ksoon' and then you shall have some

In? so young a boy at night-fell all alone
llh aa mtant to care for, and an open fire
at bcide. But poor Mrs. M. knew well
eB,d trust Willie with his sister, and as
V urTQg up, there were not coals enough
thaw his fingers. No, she did not fear
him, for he had thus been left many
time, and a! ways carefully obeyed her.
And he meant to now : but poor little
bow tU thoughts would wander to that
onliiant corner store, whither he knew his
her ""ys went at evening, and his brain
as bo, with eager wanderings. He knew
a fwher kved to go, and these must be
something that he Hked. for he never came
tgain till long after Willie was asleep
hat lay behind those scarlet curtains
amyrtery he sought in vain to unravel
At length he whispered eagerly, as if to
"courage a longing wish. Tap used to
tell me if I wanted to know anything very
bad to persevere and find out Now I do
want know what makes him love to go there
so J know that there must be pretty things
behind those windows. I shouldn't wonder'
and his cheeks "were glowing 'if it was
like a fairy house. Why can't I go ?'
Poor Willie! Temptation to know was
strong to be rousted ; so he hunted through
the closet for a candle, for he was a thought
ful little fellow, and would not leave his lit
tie sister to the only danger that could men
ace her. He found a bit of tallow dip, and
lighting it, drew the Btand close to her,that
the flame might scare away the rats and
mice should they sally out ere his return
"I won't stay long, pretty dear," said he,
pressing a tender kiss on her sleeping lids,
and drawing the blanket close over her fair
arms. "No I'll come back soon, but I do
want one peep." Swiftly his little feet flew
over the pavement, and in a trice he stood
beside the curtained window,
"How light it is, and how they langh and
talk. It must be funny in there.
A cold, November blast swept round the
corner as he spoke, penetrating his thin
summer clothes, and causing his flesh to
quiver, and his teeth to chatter.
"I don't believe they'd hurt me, if
should go in awhile, I'm such a little boy,
and I am so cold out here," be said as he
pushed the door carefully from him, slipped
in and closing it without a breath of noise.
J? or a moment he was bewildered by the
light and elatter, but finding no one seemed
to notice him, he stole toward the glowing
grate, and spread out his purple palms be
fore the blaze. The group of men that en
circled the bar were drinking when he en
tered. Soon however, they sat down their
glasses and dispersed about the room
"Halloo," said one in a loud tone as go
ing lo the fire he spied little Willie, "What
are you doing here, my little feliow? Who
are you, and what do you want?"
"I don't want anything only to see what
you do you here. My name "is Willie M.
My papa loves to come here, and it looked
so pleasant through the window I thought
1 d come too. But I must not stay long for
I ve left the baby alone."
The man's tones were softened as hespoke
aain to him,
"And where is your mother, boy?"
O, she's gone to take home the wash, sir.
Papa don't get as much work as he used to
once and we're very poor now, and she has
to help him now." . ... .
" And does it look as pleasant in here as
you thought it would my child ?"
"O yes, it does,-sir. I don't wonder pa
pa loves to come here 80 much, it's so cold
and dark at home. But I shti'ild think he
would bring mamma and me and Jittfe sis.
How she would laugh so see this fire aad all
these pretty bottles, and those flowers with
lights in them. Please sir," said he earn
estly and seized the rough hands of the lis
tener, "please air, tell me why little boy
can t come here with their fathers?"
"For God's sake do not tell him Bancroft'
said a deep anguished voice. "He deems
me pure and holy. Heavens I What
wretch I am ! My boy my boy !" and Wil
ue was clasped in nis lather s arms you
have saved me from earth's vilest hell.
Here, with my hands upon your sinless brow,
I promise never again to touch the cup I've
drank so deep. And my brothers in sin, as
you value your soul s salvation tempt me
not to break my vow. Help me heaven
help me men, so to live, hereafter, that pa
pa may never blush to take his boy along
that if papa goes there, Willie- may go there
too.
Silently the door closed after them, and
silence dwelt in the saloon behind them.
The preacher had been there in cherub form
and crazy, loose, unholy thought, or light
and ribald jest was hushed. One by one
they stole away, and many a wife wore smiles
that night ; nor did the old bar tender, even
curse the little one that robbed him of so
many dimes. Too deeply in his heart had
sunk the voice of that cherub preacher.
"Don't you like me, papa?" asked little
Willie, while they stood a few moments on
the pavement; tor thescene in the bar-room
was an enigma to the child, and he half fear
ed a reproof.
"I was thinking what mamma would like
best for supper," said the father.
Was you was your was the eager
question in a gladsome voice. "O, then
know you ain't cross. O, get oysters and
crackers and tea. papa ; and a candle, be
cause there is only a piece. And please,
papa, tell mamma not to be cross at me
'cause I left the baby. I don't believe she
will, though, 'cause you wouldn't perhaps
have come home yet, and she does love to
have you home so much. Oh, I feci just
like crying, I feel so glad."
"And I feel like crying, too," said his
father solemnly ; and ere midnight he did
cry and his wife, too, but they were holy
tears, washing his heart of the dust that
had gathered on its beauty, and hers of the
sorrow that had draped it like a pall.
A young girl in Burlington, Iowa, wanted
to commit suicide because her lover married
another, but her nurse, an old negress, gave
her eptom salts instead of poison, and cured
her of her folly by making her very sick.
On being questioned, the old negress said :
"Specs dis chile is a fool, dus ye? big mis
take bless your heart, I know'd how to
pizen the foolish gal."
A white boy met a colored lad, the other
day, and asked him what he had such short
nose for "I spects so it won't poke itself in
to other people's business."
It is said that as the twig is bent the tree

UOBODY'S BOY.
Everybody said what a pity it was that the
Lane's had no children. Mrs. Lane was
such a nice motherly lady ; the shyest babe
never feared to go toher,and there was never
a child that came under the influence of her
genial smile but what instinctively loved her.
av -r
iur. ljane, too, was one ot those men to
whom the endearing title of father is so easy
to speak. His always kindly face blossomed
out into smiles of rare tenderness whenever
his eye rested upon one of those miniature
men and women, and it seemed almost im
possible lor him to pass one without giving
it a loving pat upon the head, or a kindly
word and smile.
And then he was what the neighbors called
a well to-do man." Not rich, it is true,
but owning a small, well cultivated farm,
stocked with fruit-trees and berries of vari
ous kinds, and, best of all. near a good mar
ket. This put him in possession of two
excellent things an ample income and plen
ty to do.
But with all this hunger of the heart to
hear a child s prattle beneath their roof, with
all the appliances at their command to make
it such a dear and happy shelter, ten years
of their married life passed, and no children
came to gladden their hearts.
Mr. Larkin, over the way, had an abun
dance of them ; though he had a mortal
aversion of babies, and groaned in spirit
over every fresh instalment. Pat Shane's
little shanty was overflowing with them, a
rosy, rollicking set ; though hard work the
poor fellow found it to get "pratees' for so
many.
But at last there were smiles and sly hints
among the neighbors, the boldest and most
familiar of them venturing upon little jokes
and congratulations, which were smilingly
received Dy those to whom they were directed.
And as the months wore away.quiet but im-
portant preparations went forward at the
Lanes'.
No young mother rejoiced more fervently
over the expected advent of her first-born,
than did this wife of ten years at the prom
ise of the babe for which she bad long hoped
and prayed.
There was no end to the fashioning of
dainty robes and embroidered linen ; enongh.
as Grandma Strong declared, who was fa
vored with a glimpse of the drawers, where
they lay nicely folded, "for a dozen babies."
One would not have supposed that the
young babe they laid upon her bosom could
have repaid the new-made mother- for all
those nights and days of anguish, when her
life hung upon a thread ; but its first faint
cry, the pressure of its tiny form upon her
aroused in her heart a gush of joyful tender
ness that swept even its remembrance away.
It was a daughter, and they christened her
Ellen, after her maternal grandmother ; but
because ot her fair and gentle look, her
father called her Lily, and by that name
she always went.
She was a fair and winsome babe, a sweet
and lovely child ; almost worshipped by her
parents, and instinctively attracting towards
her the hearts of all who saw her. She had
her father's kind heart and her mother's
genial, happy terr per, together with deeper
and more earnest feelings than were posses
scd by either. But what she was most noted
for was her tender and sympathetic nature.
She was a happy-hearted child, making sun
shine and music wherever she went ; but
did she see any one in pain or trouble, the
sensitive lips would tremble, and her large
brown eyes soften with a look of deep and
earnest sympathy.
She washer father's idol, who could scarce
ly bear to have her out of his sight Most
children would have been injured by a love
so exclusive and engrossing. -
Every Thursday during summer and fall
months, Mr. Lane went to market wilh some
product of his farm, and it was his delight
to have Lily go with him.
Theirs was not a very splendid turnout, it
is true, in comparison to the fine equipages
they met in the gay city, but little Lilv was
as happy as a queen, seated beside her father
in the light easy wagon, painted a bright
blue, and attached to the staid, dignified
horse that had made the journey so often as
to know the road as well as his master.
That it might be more meet for his dar
ling, Mr. Lane had exchanged the leathern
cushions ot the seat, which had done such
good service for so many years, for those of
crimson plush, to Lily's great satisfaction,
who never failed to express her wonder and
delight at their' beauty and softness when
ever she took a scat on them.
One Thursday, in the latter part of Au
gust, Mr. Laue went to market with some
early pears and apples.attended by his usual
companion, whose white straw hat tied with
blue contrasted so prettily with the brown
curls and fair sweet face it shaded.
Mr. Lane had regular customers that were
always glad to secure his choicest fruit, and
stopping at one of these, he left Lily alone
in the wagon whose office it was to hold the
reins and see that no one took undue liber
ties with the tempting contents of the bags
and baskets stowed in back. The former
was merely nominal, and the latter, for once,
she quite forgot, tier whole attention was
directed to furthering the attempts of Char
lie to rid himself of the flies that tormented
him, to the performance of which his stump
of a tail seemed to be entirely inadequate ;
so that she did not notice the ragged bare
foot boy who was standing on the side-walk,
eyeing with a wistful, hungry look the bas
ket of rosy-cheeked apples in the rear.
At last the temptation proved too strong,
nd perceiving that she was not looking, he
stole slyly round the wagon, and seizing one
in both hands was making off, when he was
suddenly collared by a larger boy who had
been watching him.
"Let me go, he roared." kicking and
struggling with all his might.
At first Lily gazed at them with astonish
ment and affright ; and then the sympathies
that were always ready to side with the
weaker party began to assert themselves.
"You bad boy!" eher said indignantly,
"how dare you hurt him so? Don't you
strike him again.
"He was stealing your appfes, miss," said
the lad, rather taken aback at this unex
pected reception of what he intended to be
a friendly office.
This was something of a poser to the cot!
science that had been so strictly educated.
"Well, perhaps he was hungry," she sail
hesitatingly. "Are you1 hungry, little boy.'
"Yes," said the boy, looking wonderingly
into the sweet innocent face of the ques
tioner, "I'm a most starved. I hain't had
nothin' to day, nor last night neither."
"Dear roe, no breakfast nor supper!" ex
Lily, looking hurriedly around for her lunch
basket. "I can t give yon papa s, because
he wilt want that," she said, taking out the
nice seed cakes and apple turn-over that her
mother had made for her especial benefit,
"but you can have all of mine."
The boy regarded it with an pager.hungry
look, but seemed reluctant to take advantage
of her generosity. Kacts and curses he could
understand, for be bad plenty of them all his
life, but this was something that had never
happened to him before, and he hardly knew
what to make of if. The heart under h
torn jacket stirred with new and pleasant
emotions.
'Not all you' 11 want some of it yourself '
"No; take it all," persisted Lily. "I had
some breakfast this morning. and I shall hav
80tfle supper when I get home. Eat it all
every bit."
And she laughed gleefully as she Watched
ike hungry boy devour it.
"What is your name?" she inquired, as
he paused to wipe his month, with his rag
ged sleeve,
"Dick."
"Dick what?"
"Dick nothin. There ain't no more to it
nothin' but Dick."
The little wise face looked slightly puzzled
at this unexpected reply.
"Whose child are you?"
"I ain't nobody's child."
Lily pondered a few moments over this
strange announcement, and then said
suppose your father and mother are dead.
Cousin Ally's are ; so she lives with Grand
pa now. Do you live with your Grandpa?"
"No; I never had nosich."
"Nor Grandma, nor aunts and uncles?"
"No; as I ever heerd on."
Lily opened her eyes widely.
"Who took care of you when you was
little, then?"
"Nobody. Granny Jones used to carry
me out beggin' when I was a baby ; when I
was big enough she made me go by myself.
She beat uie one day 'cause I didn't bring
her nofhin' ; so I ran away."
"And where do live now?"
"I don't live nowhere."
"What! haven't you any house or place
to stay in ?"
"No ; I stay round the streets. Some
times I get pennies holdin' hosses, or goin'
errands."
"But where do you sleep at night?"
"Oh, sometimes in one place and some
times in another. Last night I slept at the
wharf in a barrel."
"In a barrel?" repeated Lily, lost in pity
and wonder. "Dear me ! I never beard of
such a thing." Just then she spied her
father coming down the steps. "There's
papa ; so now we must be going but we will
come again next Thursday, and I'll be sure
to bring you something."
"Shall you come here to this house ?"
"Yes; we always do."
"Wait a minute," she added, as Mr. Line
came up to the wagon. un I nave an
apple.papa?" I want one for this little boy.
He's so hungry," she added confidentially.
"Boys are always hungry for apple; but
give him one if you like."
Lily picked out the largest and nicest one
she could find, giving it to him with a smile
that fell upon that neglected heart like eun-
shine in a shady place.
Dick watched the wagon until it was out
of sight, and then walked slowly away,
munching his apple.
She looks like the pictersl see in the win
ders," he muttered. "Nobody ever smiled
or spoke to me afore. Next Thursday I'll
be sure not to forget."
Indeed it was an episode in his cheerless,
wretched life, that he was likely to remem
ber.
Lily was very silent,and thoughtful during
her ride home ; so much so that' her father
wondered what was the matter with her us
ually lively and clattering tongue.
And he was still more surprised when she
pushed away, almost untasted, her nice sup
per of white bread and new milk.
"Why don't you eat your supper, Lily?"
asked her mother anxiously. lou always
come home from your ride with such an ap
petite. Don't you feel well ?"
Lily drew a long sigh.
les, mamma; but l m sorry, I can t
eat"
Then she told her mother about the little
boy who was "nobody's-child," and lived
nowheres."
"To think," she said, as she laid her
head upon the pillow of her soft and fra
grant little bed, "that I should have such a
nice and pretty room, when poor Dick has
to stay out of doors and sleep in a barrel I"
The next Thursday, Lily manifested a
good deal of interest in the lunch-basket
Please pnt up a whole loaf, mamma"
she pleaded ; "perhaps Dick had no break
fast, and he will be so hungry."

Some bread and meat, explaining to Lily;
that it was what a hungry boy would like
better than anything else.
The basket was so full that it was rjarfe
heavy ; but this was only another source of
satisfaction to Lily, who laughed merrily as
she tugged it to the wagon, into which her
father lifted her, placing the basket at her
feet.
"There will be enough for him to eat and
take some away," she said, as she smiled,
and noded her "mother a happy good-bye,
who was standing by the gateV
"There he is. There's Dick, papa!"
cried Lily eagerly, as they turned down into
Crescent Place, the scene ot their former
meeting. "And do see how white and clean
his face is !"
In expectancy of her coming, D;ck had
made hii toilet with great eare. considering
the Convenience at his command, and which
consisted mainly of an unlimited amount of
water at the pond. and which he had applied
very lavishly to his face and hands.
His black eyes sparkled as he caught a
glimpse of Lily, but he bashfully waited un
til she beckoned him lo approach.
Mr. Lane looked rather sharply at the boy
thus brought into contact with his darling
child.
It was a bright, intelligent faee, frank
and honest even, especially considering the
circumstances that had sut rounded him all
his life.
Mr. Lane Was one of those who had great
faith in the instincts of childhood. So,
smiling indulgently iipoW Lily, and giving
her protege a kindly pat upon the head, he
left them to attend to his customers.
Lily invited Dick to get up iti the wagon.
She then spread a napkin over the seat of
it, and began to unload the contents of her
basket, her sweet mouth dimpling with
smiles at the round eyed wonder in Dick's
face at the various good things that were
brought in view.
There were generous slices of meat, and
bread and butter, great hunks of ginger
bread, and wedges of pie, to say nothing of
the cheese and biscuits.
"Quite enough for a pic nic," as Lily
confidentially informed her guest, "and a
great deal nicer."
Dick agreed with her for though he had

that nothing could happen that was halt so These remedies will effectually euro Li

Then they laughed and chatted as chil

signal for their separation, relating the ex

seemed to be of absorbing interest to each.
Thus it was every Thursday for some
weeks ; Dick never failing to make his ap

him some token of her rememberance.
But at last, one Thursday in November,
Dick watched and waited vainly for the dear
child that had been to him such a messen

THI HEW TOtX TBIBTJJTE FOB 1869
Within the last eight years our Country has'
passed through the grarest and most trying per
ils which hare confronted her since her Indepen
dence was acknowledged. She has vindicated
beyond appeal her right to be regarded as no mere
confederacy or league of jValons, envious, disoor
dt States, but as substantially aad permanently
Nation, wherein the pretensions of no part Caw
be admitted or upheld in opposition to the integ
miT.,he Paramount authority ,ol the Oae Republic.
The right of each man. by virtue of his birth
or bis naturalisation as a citizen of th Gnited
fctat- s, to the full enjoyment of "life, liberty .and
the pursuit of happiness,1' until he shall forfeit
the right by efime, is also established on impreg
nable foundations. Our fathers proclaimed it in
yustrfying their separation from Great Britiaa-i
it was left -to as to establish as a laet what they
merely affirmed as a principle. Whsl fhe sannon
of lorktown aad Saratoga proclaimed as an ab
straction, the eannon of Gettysburg and Vicks
Irarg established a living, embodied, enacted
troth. Of these Immense results, the Importance)
and the benificrnce will become more palpable
wi:h erery added year No great good is ever
achieved without effort or without cost. Four
years of patriotic struggle and sacrifice, half a
milltoa of men slain in battle or dying of the pri
vations and exposures of war. millions of bereav
ed ones, fire billions of property destroyed, and
early three bill ions of debt incurred, attest tbe
magnitude of Ihe contest ami the myie!Kn
ra lor of the combatants.
There are still obstacles to surmount. pP!s to
avert, noble ends to be achieved ; but the ship of
State has ridden out the tempest and has her ha
ven full jn view.
The Tribune will contend. In the future at fa
the past, for Universal Amnesty as well as for
Impartial Suffrage. It has no faith in vengeance,
in proscription, in confiscation, nor ia the shed
ding of blood otherwise than in actual and neo
essarywar "There Is a time for War and tr
for Peace ;" and the latter follows swiftly on the
heels of the former. Whenever those who fought
against tbe Union sbal hare in good faith gives
np the contest, they are no longer our foes bat
our countrymen.
In the joyful trust that Grant's election has
giron tbe death-blow to Ku-Rlux Klaus, and all
manner of out rages on Unionists and Freednren
assuch.and that Impartial Suffrage will nOleirer
be seriously resisted, we hope to see the next four
years signalised by an unprecedented expansion
of the National Industry and a consequent in
crease of the National wealth. We hope to see
new cabins dot the prairie, new clearings ebeqoef
the forest, new factories and furnaces erected.
North, South, East and Wast, until our annual
prod act shall be hundreds of millions-greater than
at present, while mines of Iron.Coal, Uold.Silver,
CoppoV. Ac, be opened and worked, with an -ergy
and to an extent that defies precedent. Be
lieving that the systematic, efficient Protection of
Home Industry is the corner stone of a wise, be
nignant Notional Polity, and that it is essential
to the rapid derelopment of our latent resources,
to tbe prosperity of our country, the maintenance
of her credit and the honest payment of her debt,
we shall give it our earness and active support.

A gasp, a few feeble flutterinirs of the
pulse, and little Lily's mission was ended.
The next Thursday Mr. Lane made his
usual preparations to go to the city, as had
been hjs wont for years, excepting on the
day hid Lily died. Not a word had been
said, but Mrs. Lane well knew that he would
not come back alone.
So, when the wagon stopped at the door,
and she saw her husband lifting out a for
lorn, negletted looking little boy, she knew
that it was Dick whose name had grown bo
familiar.
When Mr. Lane led him into the cheerful
pleasant sitting-room, Dick knew that it was
Lily's home, and that the pale, sad-looking
woman who eaeed at him so earnestly was
the mother she had so often spoken of; but
he knew, too, that sweet face, whose smiles
had shed upon his path all the sunshine
that ha'd ever visited it, had gone from it
forever, and covering his face with his hands
he sobbed as though his little heart would
break.
Perhaps it was his unfeigned grief for her
lost darling that so touched the mother's
heart; but, as she drew his head down up
on her bosom, mingling her tears with his,
Dick felt that he was no longer "nobody's
child."
He could not - stand to them in her stead
there was a place in their hearts that Lily,
and no one but Lily, could fill but they lov
ed him, first for her sake, and then for his

them both.
Nearly every pleasant Sabbath afternoon,
a man, holding a neatly dressed boy by the
hand, pauses by the mound, beneath which
lies all that could die of the dear child.
whose short life had been 60 full of love and
goodness. It is Mr. Lane and his adopted
son Richard.
