Sad Affliction. The three and only children, one son and two daughters, of Mr. and Mrs. Frank March, have died of scarlet fever. The Lord only can comfort the heart stricken family in their sad bereavement.

And now they sleep so sweetly three
So closely side by side;
And they who were omitted here,
Death could not long divide.

That home on earth seems lonely now
While days and weeks roll by;
But we Kill meekly, sadly bow,
And meet and greet on high.
