one dear as life to that final resting
place. What sorrow, what loneliness,
what feelings of desolation, what
emptiness of earthly joy now fills their
hearts, as they take long-long look
at that dear, but liieless clay
Who is this so recently done with
things beneath the sum-
The aged sire, having outlived his
generation, whose head has, long since
whtened for the harvest gathering, is
now no more. Griefstricken are his
children, as they realize their loss,
