The Loss OF WIFE.-Nol man but one
who has been called upon to mourn the'loss of
a dear and beloved companion. can fully appre-
ciate the beauty and truthfulness of the follow
ing article, which we copy from an exchange:
In comparison with. the loss of wife, all
other bereavemens are triaing.' The wife she
who fills SO largea space in the domestic hea-
Ven ; she who busted herself SO unweariedly
for the precious ones around her; bitter, bitter
is the tear that falls upon her cold clay - You
stand beside her coffin and think of the
past. IL seems an aInber-colored pathway,
where the sun shone upon beautiful flowers,
and the stars hung glittering overhead. Fain
would the soul linger -here--no thorns aretre-
membered save those your hands may unwil-
lingly have planted. Her noble, tender heart
lies open on your inrnost sight. You think of
her now as all genteness, all beauty, all purity.
But she is dead The dear head that has lain
upon your bosom, rests in the still darkness upon
a pillow of clay. The hands that have minis
tered so untiringly are folded, white and cold
beneath the gloomy portals. The heart whose
every beat measured an eternity of love lies
under your feet. The flowers she bent over in
smiles, bend now above her i'll tears, shaking
the dew from their petals, that the verdnfe
around her may be kept green and beautiful.
