At the residence of his father, in this city, on the 21st inst., of scarlet fever, ROBERT O., son of L. B. F. and Cornelia F. Enos, aged 4 years 9 months and 8 days.
Dearest Robert, thou hast left us,
We thy loss most deeply feel,
But 'tis God who hath bereft us-
He can all our sorrows heal.
His little chair is empty now,
His little clothes laid by-
A father's hope, a mother's joy,
In death's cold arms doth lie.
And when our bleeding hearts lie still,
And earth's dark trouble's o'er,
Our angel boy, with crown and harp,
Will lead us to the Lord.

You have left me, darling husband
For a happy home, I know;
But, oh my home is lonely without
you.
And my heart is filled with woe.
What is all the world without you,
Naught but darkness, fraught with
pain;
Yet, I cannot, dearest husband
Call or wish you back again.
Long I grieve to see you, loved one;
God has marked you for his own;
And with brave, heroic patience
You have the cross of suffering
borne.
