to fancied or real sorrow. When grief sits
down, folds its hands, and mournfully feeds
upon its own tears, weaving the dim shadows
that little exertion might sweep away into
a funeral pail the strong spirit is shorn of its
might and sorrow becomes our master When
troubles flow uponsyou dark and heavy, toll
not with the waves, and wrestle not with the
torrent; rather seek by occupation to divert
the dark waters that threaten to oyerwhelm
you, into thousand channels which the du.
ties Of life always present Before you dream
of il, those waters will fertilize the present
and give birth to fresh flowers, that will be,
come pure and holy in the sunshine which
penetrates to the path of duty in spite o.
every obstacle. Grief, after all, is but a sci.
fish feeling, and most selfish is the man who
yields himself to the indulgence of any pas.
