Again has death, ivi th tliat sickle ever
keen (or the harvest, visited our community,
and taken away from our midst, from tlie
then happy and joyful, but now sad ahd
sorrowing parents, Mr. ami Mrs. \V. P. Al¬
len, their ( bright and beloved little hoy,
William Lee, aged six years and nineteen
days.
1 f ,the sadness, sorrow, and gloom, ivith
which the fell destroys! 1 marks his ,evcry
path, can by any means be intensified, it is
certainly true of this occurrence.
Soon after dinner on last Tuesday ho,
with a little sister younger than himself
find other little playmates, went to the
barnyard, ai his fathers home, and engaged
in childish amusement?. .There was a rope
swing which reached very nearly to the
ground, arid it is supposalde that ail , cd the
little ones present were amusing themselves
with this, each in his or her turn. While
swinging, it is thought that Lee eiihei fell
from or became entangled in the rope in
such a way as to produce almost instanta¬
neous death, for life was totallev ettinct
when his jiarents reached him, they hav¬
ing been drawn to the place by the cric»
of his playmates! In this brief ski L h
she writer will say nothing morri of the
cause of bis death, the particulars of which
can never be ascertained with any degree
of definiteness; but will tiy to givo a sytioy
sis of the mairiy characteristics that
marked this departed little one, and to say
in conclusion something to soothe, If kicli
can be, the grief of the bereaved parents
and relatives.
Lee was remarkablp intelligent for one
so young, and his acts werb shaped in such
a way as to lead every ope to Relieve that
he would make a man of unusual diginity
and great force of character. His words
in conversation Jpive evidcnca of superior
mental brillanricy, and very often did he
dwell upon subjects, in hjs childlike way
though it, was, that would interksfc persons
of niatureage. No one save the family
knew him better than the writer who cau
say that his obedience to his parents was
far beyond tha of the average child: and
this one feature of itself would have made
him an admirable boy. Lee was an affec
tinate child: That kindness to his little
brothers and sisters, and also to playmates^
which bis life, although ho died in tender
years,evined at all times, demonstrated very
cleanly gentlenccs in dispoistiou rarely, if
ever surpassed in any one of the same sex.
In short, he was a model child: a little fel¬
low by nature richly endowed, and one
why so short life gave unmistakable eviden¬
ces of
;i3nt ho is gone. His iittlfe form sleeps
in the omhracs of mother earth: angels
have borne his spirit to the loving Father
who gave it. The clouds are now dark to
the loving ones left, behind, but the bright¬
ness of eternal day knows no dimness.
The raptarcs of this day aie i. 0 w bciri^
shared in by little Lee. Words of sympa¬
thy arc but poor comfort to those lrinft of
one so dear, but ihe communiy in which
lived the little one during his short stay
on earth and that had become so much at¬
tached to him, cm but feel a tender sympa¬
thy for them in their great loss.
The ways of our Crcato r an mysterious
to us, for we an finite, but may those pa-j
rents he enabl'd to exclaim qs did Job
where tlw hand of affliction bore heavily
upon him: The Lord gave and the I.oVd
liat?) takcn Kway:, blessed be the name of
the Lord. Better than all in this time (i
grief, with those stricken' are these words
ot tho Sriuior; “Sriffeft little children to
come unto mo and forbid the til not, frit
of such is the kingdom of heaven.” .4
<
Thffn parents, tho loss to you of this
dear child, though imrife.tsura’bie, is inesti¬
mable gain to him.

at the intelligence of little Lee Allen, s
death. It seems that the child had been
swinging, and so twisted the rope about
his neck that he choked to death bofore

who were jilnying with him said that Lee
told them he was playing show man, but
they arc so small that they are unable to
tell much of any consequence tee about the
unhappy accident, Allen was about
six years old. and quite bright for his age.
The bereaved mmily have the sympathy
