   The following extract from the Northern Christian Advocate, of Dec. 17,1845, 
is inserted without the advice of any member of the family, in order to more fully 
illustrate the strength of the domestic ties which bound them together, and the 
steadfast reliance of the father upon Divine Grace for strength to pass through one 
of the severe afflictions or his lire, perhaps second only to the loss of his youngest 
son: 
   The following affecting and beautiful lines were composed by Mr. Orin 
Aylsworth on the occasion of the death of his little son.  The child who was about 
eighteen months old, was at play about the house when; he was discovered by his 
sister, older, to have a bean in his mouth.  She called him to her to take it out.  He 
came running to her for this purpose, and as he lifted up his smiling face to her the 
fatal bean glided down the windpipe, and he was a corpse in five minutes.

THE MOURNING FATHER'S SOLILOQUY.                 

 
                Father in heaven, 
Thou hast called home one of our little band, 
                And to him given 
The brighter glories of the better land. 
Help us to bow submissive to thy will— 
                Say, peace, be still. 
                That morning mild 
Beheld him full of life. The noon, 
                The lovely child  


Page 364

                Still joyous at his play: but soon, 
Ere in the west sank the bright orb of the day, 
                Edson had passed away. 

                Be thou a friend 
To father, mother, friends, and children dear, 
                And condescend 
To guide and guard us while we wander here, 
Protect us by thy might, and, O defend 
                When time shall end!
