Obituary Notice.

By Harriett J. Farnum

FELL asleep in Deerfield, Minn., Apr. 15, 1863, little Rollie, youngest child of Washington and Olive Morse, aged 11 months and three days.
We yield him up with many tears, Our fragile little one, Yet strive to say amid our grief, Oh God, thy will be done.
Evening and morn our hearts will go, And linger neath the mould; For one is gone—we miss him now, The lamb of the dear home fold.
Now the chill wind sweeps drearily by, And falls the vernal rain But the fair young sleeper waketh not, Nor wearily moans with pain.
Though gentle angels watch him now, Not long will he thus remain; For the Life-giver comes, then bright and fair Will he spring to life again. Harriett J. Farnum.
