Wasdita Cos., Ark..,
Brethren Editors : — By request you will give
notice through the Messenger , of the death of
GEORGIA ANN, and WILLIAM JESSE, daugh
ter and son of Dr. J. A., and Elizabeth Livingston.
At the residence of her father in Washita Cos., Ark.,
on the 9th of April, 18G0, little Georgia Ann de
parted this life—her disease was Scarlet Fever of
which she suffered about six days. Although so
young, yet she bore testimony of her departure out of
this world. Her body is now silent in the tomb—
her voice never again to be heard in this time world,
while her spirit is gone to the Paradise of God, there
to remain until the resurrection morn. Then shall
the sleeping dust be called forth to meet the Bride
groom and ever be with the Lord.
WILLIAM JESSE, was born Nov. 19, 1859,
and died Aug. 8, 1860, aged 8 months and 20 days.
They have now been called to give up their last
child. Only those that have witnessed the scene,
can know anything of their distress and bereavement.
May they be made to kiss the rod, and say with one
of old, “ The Lord giveth, and the Lord takech away,
and blessed be Ilis holy nanie.”
So fades the lovely blooming flower,
Frail smiling solace of an hour,
So soon our transient comforts fly,
And pleasures only bloom to die.
ELIJAH YARBROUGH.
Rich Though Poor.
No rood of land in all the earth,
No ships upon the sea,
Nor treasures rare, nor gems, nor gold,
Do any keep for me:
As yesterday I wrought for bread,
So must I toil to-day ;
Yet some are n<Jt so rich as I,
Nor I so poor as they.
On yonder tree the sun-light falls,
The robin’s on the bough,
Still I can hear a merrier note
Than he is warbling now:
He’s but an Arab of the sky,
And never lingers long ;
But that o’erruns the live-long year
With music and with song.
Come, gather round me, little ones,
And as I set me down,
With shouts of laughter on me place
A mimic regal crown :
Say, childless King, would I accept
Your armies and domain,
Or e’en your crown, and never feel
These tiny hands again ?
There’s more of honor in their touch
And blessing unto me
Than kingdom unto kingdom joined,
Or navies on the sea:
So greater gifts to me are brought
Than Sheba’s Queen did bring
To him, who at Jerusalem
Was born to be a King.

L >-k a my crown, and then at yours,
Look in my heart and thine;
How do our jewels now compare—
The earthly and divine ?
Hold up your diamonds to the light,
Emerald and amethyst;
They’re nothing to those love-lit eyes,
Those lips so often kissed !
Oh! noblest Roman of them all,
That mother good and!” wise,
Who pointed to her little ones,
The jewels of her eyes :
Five sparkle in my own to-day,
Two deck a sinless brow:
How grow my riches at the thought
Os those in glory now !
And yet no rood of all the earth,
No ships upon the sea,
No treasures rare, nor gold, nor gems
Are safely kept for me:
Yet I am rich—myself a King!
And here is my domain :
Which only God shall take away,
To give me back again !
A CIRCULAR TO THE PRIMITIVE
