Mrs, NJ. i. Robertson, New Cis
bon, Ohio-My Doar Sister: was
absent in another country in tho
midst Of trial Of an mportant case
when Mr. Gillslnan's dispatch oamo
announcing Mr.. Robortson's death.
~! write now to assure YOU of my
deepest sympathy with you and
yours in this great bereavement. I
feel sure that, though sorrowing, it is
not as one without hope. In little
while we shall all follow, and, trust
and believe, bo reunited with tn,
many dear and loved onos whom We
now mourn, but who have only pre-.
otdcd us to those mansions in the
skies whoro, purified and perfected
spirits, VIC shall meet again and dwell
together forever, where the eye sheds
no tear, thc bosom hoavcs no sigh,
and the heart swclls not with secret
grief, and no sorrow ever comes.
For surely it is reality but if
'dclus'on, yet ono to which I would
fondly cling (associato d as it is with
earliest and most cherished memories
OF sa'ntcd father and mother, till
Heart and flesh failed mc-that
"Therc is land Of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Infinite day excludes tho night,
And pleasures Danish pain"
In tn is faith died oil of our houso-
hold, and of tho households for gen
crations, wherever We have inherited
family and name, and let us cherish
it with an uIfalteripg trust, till wo,
too, shall lio. down in the dust. I
have, long since ceased to look upon
death with any sensation Of terror,
and, like tho, patriarch Job, say dai-
~: GAIL tho days of my appoint
cd timo will wait till my change
come" So lot it be with all of us.
You rcmemb Der the beautiful poem
OF Mrs. llepans: "Thc Graves of a
Household" a liko fortune has
been ours, who in childhood grew up
so lovingly !togcthcr.. Yet we shall
Maet together again, young and old,
gloriiicd spirits in tho "house
not made with hands, cntcrnal and
on high"
Comfort yourself, therefore, my
dcor sister, under this great anlotion,
and may tho Father of all morcics be
gracious to you.
Wo arc we'll, and unto in much
love to you all. Very atfcotionatcly,
your brother, CLEMENT. -
