In Memoriam.
BRETT.—In loving remembrance of my darling baby. Ivy Myrtle, who died April 26,1893. A tiny casket decked with flowers, Entwined with simlax vines. Contains a gem to us mere fair Than all earth's richest mines. . . Aye, gone to sleep;—no more for us Will opea soft brown eyes; But baby fingers still can draw Us onward to the skies. The casket lies beneath the sod— • 'Only a baby's grave;" But the polished gem ia in the hand. Of Hint who took and gave ; While up in that bright world above Our footsteps daily speed. Where Death can never enter in. " And a little child shall lead."» Inserted by her' loving mother and aunt, Edith Brett.
