They are attractive anu frequently an
engaging class Of ladies, that fill avery
important niche in society, the subject
both Of envy and admiration. We have
seen them in the first throes Of their be-
reayement when they utterly refused To
be comfotcd, declaring that their hopes
all laid buried in their first and only \
love. in the new-niade grave Of their
dear departed, and their streaming eyes

sympathetic sob To well up from the boz
SONS Of all who listened But a time
wore on we have observed with satifac-
ton. for we would not have them weep
always, that comfort invariably comes
to the young widows heart and that
hope il restored 10 her troubled mind.
We were called upon some time ago 70
attend the funeral of young and noble
fellow who left pretty widowto mourn
his untimely taking of. She sat by the
I side of her unconscious love, dressed Ia
the most somber but at the same time
becoming mourning, with her lovely
golden hair arranged with infinite labor
and care in glossy finger puffs all over
her shape,y head. and her black Dor
dered handkerchief went ever and anon
to her streaming eyes. Everand anon she
talked in tones soft, tremul0us and low
to the inanirnate clay that was 80 soon
10 be hidden away forever, telling him
her heart would always throD Tor MIN
alone. and what a dreary blank the
world would ever be 70 her without his
presence. Then in sudden burst OF
grief and wild despair she besought the
undertaken To let the friends NIL the
carriages and drive away, leaving her
dearly beloved dead with her. But the
funeral went on in the usual way and
the fair mourner returned 10 her strlck-
en- home crushed and disconsolate. But
thanks to the soothing hand OF Time
ere her widows weeds had grown the
: worse for wear, or her sp0tless cap bad

sufficiently TO marry the dear friend 81
