DIED - May 6th, at Hematite, Mo., Willie Osborn, the beloved son of Francis M. and Sarah C. CADWALLADER, aged 3 years, 1 month and 20 days. Though he is still our dear little Willie, gone to the eternal world, with whom we delight to live again in memory, to sit down in the hushed and tranquil hours of existence and call back, to us the face, the little form so familiar and cherished; to look into the eye that beamed so lovingly upon us. Let us think of him, then, as one who has ceased to suffer, but has grasped and secured the real. Yes, we have parted with our little Willie, but not forever. Beyond the stillness of the marble tomb, we'll meet once more to part again no more, where life and love for countless years shall bloom. Dear little Willie, 'till then, adieu.
