  Obituary: Died: On the 26th of September, 1866, at the residence of his father, Mr. J.B. Campbell, in this parish, WILLIE A. CAMPBELL, aged 9 years, 8 months and 19 days. "Kind parents, it is hard for you to surrender the objects most cherished in life; yet, the decree of Him who doeth all things well, has gone forth: "Dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return;" and you can but bow in meek submission, with a christian fortitude, to His dread alternative. Little WILLIE is gone! One of your dearest household jewels has been snatched by the ever unerring hand of death, from the family circle, to adorn a brighter sphere than this. Before realizing the sterner duties of life--or walking alone the rugged way--an All-wise Providence, has transplanted WILLIE'S genial soul from this, to realms of blissful immortality. With the implicit faith of a child, he quietly folded his arms in sleep to awake amid the realities of a happier and better world. He is-- "Gone with the wealth of love which dwelt Heart-kept, with holy thoughts and high-- Gone, as as the clouds of evening melt Beyond the dark and solemn sky."
