Tho Little Cup Of Tears.

It is too beautiful TO remain in the sole

once a mother and a child, and the moth

whole heart and thought she could not
live without it; but the Almighty sent a
great sickness among children, which
seized this little one, who lay on it's sick
bed, even to death, Three days and
three nights the mother watched and
wept, and prayed by the side Of her
darling child, but it died The mother,
now left alone in the wide world, gave
way to the most violent and uuspeaka-
BILE grief she ate nothing and drank
nothing, and wept, wept, wept, three
long days and three long nights, with
out ceasing, calling constantly upon her
child. The third night, as she thus sat
overcome with suffering, in the place
where her child had died her eyes bath

door softly opened, and the mother
started, for before her stood her depart

If for me you shed but one tear more
it will overflow, and I shall have nc
