United Over IA Daughters Grave.

About fifteen years ago a father and
mother separated over quarrel about
some trivial matter. The mother left
with her child, then girl Of about 10
years, for the west, where she reside
with relatives, who sent her child Ia
school in a little town not far from st.
l. uis. About five years ago the mother s
heart was almost brok II by the news that
her daughter had elOped from the school
with young man who had formerly re-
S ded in this city. The mother came 10
this city in the hopes of finding her child
and remained here with relatives. About
three weeks ago letter was forwarded to
her from the home in the west, and she
found 1t was from her daughter husband
asking her TO come to St LOUIS immedi-
ately IL she wished to see her daughte
alive. She at once repaired to the home of
her daughter in South st. Louis and re
manned by her bedside constantly until
the daughter died last week. At the
newly made grave in the cemetery knelt
three persons. Two had apparently
passed the fiftieth milestone of life, while
the other, young man of about % years,
was praying in a low tone. Tue two
elders, man and woman, responded
with soDbing ''amens" at intervals and
the sight was touching. The young man,
the husband of the dead, allowed his
voice to die away almost to whisper as
he uttered the concluding words of the
prayer; MAY her bright soul rest in
eternal peace. - The two elders looked
up aud into each others eyes. They
gazed on each other for a few moments
without. speaking a word. arthur, -
said the woman hesitatingly, as she made
an impulsive movement toward the man.
The "Annie" he spoke was smothered
in the woman's tresses. Husband and
wife, father and mother, were united
over the grave of their child after years
of separation. st. Louis Globe Democrat.
