OBITUARY.

By J. A. LOUGHHEAD; M. M. LOUGHHEAD

DIED after a few days illness of scarlet fever on the 23d ult. Charles our only child, aged 18 months. He was an affectionate and lovely child, and though but an infant, took pleasure in obeying his parents.
His pleasant smile is no more seen and his cheering voice no more heard by us. Although our home is lonely without him, yet we sorrow not as those who have no hope. We believe that God has taken him away from the trouble to come and that he will have a part in the first resurrection, and that we, if faithful, shall meet him there to be parted no more.
Sleep sweet babe, till Jesus calls thee From thy lowly resting place Kindred then where nought befalls thee Clasp thee in their fond embrace.
J. A. LOUGHHEAD M. M. LOUGHHEAD. Elmira N., Y., Jan., 2nd., 1856.
