sympathy for the Sufferers. /.
throughout the whole of the terrible
and heart-rending affair it has been
most beautiful to see the sympathy
and aid extended to the suffering,
and also to the bereayed friends OF
the deceased. Throughout the whole OF
the country, in all of our dear old Common,
wealth, it has been so clearly eylnced by All
parties. Richmond has, with one voice ana
hand. rome out to aid all who were III
need. 1The families and friends OF the de-
ceased have not been forgotten in the
slightest, and every heart in our beautiful
seven-hilled city responds to the call oi,the
sufferers. ay t.e.s. y. ~ -3y . :tr21 - 90

The President OF the National Tobacco
Association also telegraphs his sympathy
for the sufferers.
The flags OH all the public buildings i'll
our city have been at half-mast since yester-
dav, and all the shipping In the harbor
proved the sympathy Of the seamen i'll The
same expressive manner ..,
The bells throughout the town on yester-
day tolled, as if they TOO could fill the agony
of the thousands Of hearts which will bleed
for years yet to come. Every moment The
solemn sound was thrust into our ears, and
each peal seemed TO accord with the utter
misery of the sorrowing souls in cur Dor
ders. Woe, woe, was in every heart, and
every eye and every face told too we'll that
some near and dear friend had been called
hence.
In the bitter grief OF parents, wives, and
friends, no words Of sympathy or strain OF
love can soothc. No voice can charm away
the utter dcsolation of spirits that even re-
fuse to be comforted. How long oh, how
long, are we to be thus afflicted? r.
In all of our sorrows there Is yet One
who never fails to heed when called, Let

our wretchednesS, and in few more days
and years of anguish we will be called to
follow TO the 8. land beyond the stars
where there is no grief and no pain. Bright
angels will stay forever in our presence
and minister consolation to Our hearts. TO
that land Of unapproachabe glory, and to
the God that ,pities, we, commend the
crushed spirits Of this sad, sad misfortune.
