our grief that our loss is irreparable
vet in short time the tendrils OF
love have entwined around other sup
ports and we no longer miss the one
who is gone. So passes the world.
But there are those to whom loss
is beyond repair. There are men
whose memories no woman's smile
can chase away recollections Of the
sweet face that has given up all its
beauty at deaths icy touch. There
are women whose plixhted faith ex.
tends beyond the grave, and drives
away as profanc those who would en-.
tice them from worship nf their
buried love. such loyalty. however,
is hidden away from the public gaze.
The world sweeps on beside and
around them, and cares not to look
upon obtruding grief. 1t curves line
and rears a stone over the dead, and
hastens away to offer homage to the

SUDDEN DEATH OF BETROTHED
LOVERS.
FINDLAND, OHIO, July 81.

FINDLAND, ONO, July 81.
One of the saddest affairs to occur
in a lon5 time is reported from
Orange Township, this county. Miss
Alice, the charming daughter Of John
Montgomery. Esqr., wss courted by
the beaux of all that section. but was
won by bright. Industrious young
man named Will Swank, who had
long been devoted to her. There en-
gagement was known and arrange
ments for the wedding were in pro
gress, when young Swank was sud-
denly taken ill. The symptoms of
that fatal malady.quick consumption,
were early developed. and his fate
was sealed. Miss Alice was just con-
valescent from an attack of measles
and insisted on seeing her lover, as
he continually talked of her when
occas onally delirious and asked
about her in rational intervals. On
her way home she was caught in a
drenching rain, which resulted in
pneumonia being developed. The
two young people now talked only of
death and repeatedly asked to be
buried side by side. The first of the
week he breathed his last. and the
next day Miss Alice followed him.
Their request was observed, and their
funeral was the largest ever known
in that section of the country.
