TWO ANGLES; Little Floyd, only child of John and Estella Wright, was born Sept. 18, 1892, and left his world Jan. 11, 1897 being 4 years, 3 months, and 23 days old when God transplanted him from the rude soil of earth to the garden of Paradise, there to grow and blossom with his brother Harry who entered that blessed land ere Floyd was born.

We've two little angels now in heaven
Close up beside the throne;
Death came with his sickle keen,
And reaped them for his own.

They have struck the golden lyre;
Entered the beautiful golden gate;
Where all things are pure and holy,
Naught is known of sin or hate.

Could I paint our darlings' portraits,
Two little heads with curls of gold;
How they gleam in celestial brightness,
Singing the songs that ne'er grow old;

The baby hands are clasped together
O'er the Savior's loving breast,
There they beckon "Mamma, Papa,
Come, we've found eternal rest."

These little lives are to us
Like lighthouses along the shore,
Sowing where to cast our anchor
When the storms of life are o'er.

Farewell, sweet darlings,
A few short days and -- then
We'll clasp you to our bosom.
Ne'er to part again.
