Mourn not in agony, fond and disconsolate parents, thy beautiful boy is in Heaven. The brightest gems of earth are the first taken home to stud the coronet of glory. His beautiful love, never knew the withering touch of sin. It was the abode of virtue only, and virtue is the very sublimity of Heaven.
