DIED--In Peoria, Illinois, Oct. 4th, 1862, Ida M., only child of Capt. Jas. H. B. and Ada A. Harris, aged one year, one month, and fifteen days.

Oh, ever let us nearer keep
To Thee, dear Shepherd of the sheep
Who carriest now within Thine arm,
Close to Thy bosom, safe from harm,
And lovest fondly, as their own,
Our little Lamb--our only one.
