La pobre anciana exhal6 la media noche
ell d'tmo suspiro en- brazos de sus adorados { in
felices hijos
Ell alma dc aquea buena santa madre
fu6 arrebatada del mundo con la dcha y la ven
tura de aquel hogar antes tan feliz tranquilo.

dres que ella Sc habia undo con los lazos de
la religion ante su moribunda madre, estaban In
consoables.

un lado la paleta, el pincel = Ell cabalete, ms
trumentos que antes c0nstituian su fe Y su espe-
ran que en- momento crftico no le habian
reportado la utilidad ansiada
Elinfeliz estnvo punto de voverse loco
cay6 en- una profunda melancolfa de la cual no
eran capaces distraer su afectado espfritu las
dulces caricias de su buena resignada hermana,
y los saludables consoles de su cunado Andres.
Los mlseros ahorros que restaban en- la casa
no bastaron cubrir las necesidades de tan criti-
co momento, y tuvo que recurrirse al doloroso
extreme de la venta de mueblcs otros indis
pensables enseres de un hogar de fama
TOdo apenas baat6 para poder dar honrada
sepultura su difunta madre.
Esta, en- medic de la desesperacion del huer-
fano, fu6 enterrada en- la fosa comun, al pie de
una cruz negra miserable.
