Death of Alonza Belcher. j
In the opening of the morning j
hours, anxious waiting and watch- j
ing for some ray of hope and hop-,
ing where there was no hope, we
stood around his riving couch until j
we saw the pallor ut death creep |
into his pale wan cheek, and we
knew the hard cold hand of death
had transplanted the sweet flower
of earth to blossom in heaven
Little Alonza, the ten year olo son
of Mr. and Mrs. K. A, Belcher
died last Wednesday morning at
7 o’clock.
‘•Our loss U his eternal gain—
We sigh foi the touch of an unseen
hand,
And the sound of a voice that is still.”
But God in his infinite love and
wisdom knoweth best and doeth
all things well. May his soul and
the three others gone before be an
eternal anchor in Heaven for those
loved ones left behind. May their
sweet spirits shining there lie a
beacon light for every sorrowing
heart among us.
We can never become coins
pletely reconciled to this sorrow
which love alone can know.
Tat not unmerit whh that on#,
Like that young pet of ours,
So gentle and ao lovely
Should perish with the tiowevs.

The woman who would he a
popular entertainer should remem
ber that there is an art in listen
ing, as well as talking. A sympa
thetic word dropped now ar.d
again helps out a one sided con
versation wonderfully. Indeed,
many women have been known t>
gain the reputation for being a
charming hostess through this
very art of listening. The art is
built upon the tact that success
in social life depends upon the de
sire to please. Important points
are not to neglect a guest, not to
ti-e by too much attention, nor to
give the impression that an effort
is being made to entertain by
overdoing in either speech or
action.—Conkey’s Home Journal
for May.
