Death of those We Love.

s.
There are calamities which are greater
than the death of a loved one, but we are
wont to estimate that as the most terrible
that can afict u.s. Even the very love for
the dead which constitutes the source of
our misery in bereavement is blessing OF
untold worth. A contemporary, referring
to this love beautifully remarks, "to have
laid aastrong affection down among the
dead, may be great sorrow, but it is not
a real misfortune, Whatever ones after
going may be, there is a deposit for the
future life, a stake in the better country,
part of the heart which the grave keeps
holy. n;spite of the evil which is in the
world The living may change to us or
we to them; sin may divide, strife may
come between US; but through all times
and misfortunes the dead remain the same
to our memories and our love. The child
taken from us long ago is still the inno-
cent lamb, that was not for our holding
The early lost friend or lover is still the
blessed Of our youth, q hope not to be
withered, a promise not to be broken, a
possession wherein there is no disappoint-

Graves are but the prints of the foot
steps Of the angel Of eternal life.
Peace is the evening star of the soul
as virtue is its sun, and the two are neve,
apart
Thegifts that circumstances make in oul
character, we are apt to regard as its nj

Our sorrows are like thunder clOnds
