Whether you live in town country resolve not to
profaue your Sabbath, or in the end you will give

this are regular. Begin with not honoring Gods

Love FOR THE DEAD.--The love that survives the
tomb says Irving, is Of the nobest attributes of
the soul. 1t has woes, it has likewise its delights
and when the overwhelming burst of grief is Gained
into the gentle tear Of recollection then the sudden
anguish and convused agony is over, the present
ruins of those most loved are softened away into
pensive meditation all that it was in the day of
its loveliness. Who would root sorrow from the
heart, though it may sometimes throw passing
cloud over the bright hour of gaiety spread deep
sadness over the hour of gloom? Yet who would
exchange it even for the song of pleasure or the
burst of revelry? No, there is a voice from the
tomb sweeter than song there is remembrance
of the dead to which turn from the charm Of
the living.
