THEY ARE ALONE.

An account of sudden death of little girl in
New York, thus concludes
"Ths little girl was the last of the parents IA
mily--they are alone"
Will those who read the above, pause a moment
and reflect upon their import! Where once was
heard the sound of childish mirth, the Joyous life
or the thoughtleSs prattle, there is now mourn
ful stiffness. The parents whose labors to main
tain family were lightened by the reflection that
their own children shared the produce of their la
Dor, have no such reward for their toll hing to
tighten the severity of their labor. At morn
ngs sacrifice, at the tables blessings, at evening S
prayers, they look around upon the unwontcd So
litndc, and smte their breast with renewed an
gIish, for "they are alone"
In sickness, who shall watch their feversh
frames, and minister to their thousand wants.
Who shall hold the ang,liShed head, or battle the
fcverish brow! They shall have none upon whom
TO call, for "ihey are atone"
Death comes with double pain-there are none
to receive the diving hlessing--none to perpetuatc
the name and exercise the cherished yirtucs-no
child to close the dying eye, or to give dignity to
death by natural tears--''they are alone"
