THE SACREDNESS OF SORROW.


THE SACREDNESS OF SORROW.
George and myself were machnists in the same
shop. Our lathes were adjoining, and we were as
sociable as it was possible to be with one of
Georges temperament. He was very reticent,
and only awoke to anything like enthusiasm when
his little girl of years would come tripping in
with his tin dinner pail. George would stoop
down to kiss the pretty child and receive the
little bouquet of flowers that always WAS sure to ac-
company the pail, and little Edna would touch
each dainty flower in it's turn and name the donor.
| knew from this that she gathered them from the
neighbors along her way. But there was always
one that "mamma sent" When the dinner was
over, George would Irvine all the flowers in Edna's
hair-a1l but one-and away she would 60, singing
as gay as bird in May. The flower that "mam-
ma sent" would be placed beneath a little mirror
Immediately in front of the lathe, and George
guarded it as carefully as if it were diamond,
and when evening came it was proudly worn home
in the buttonhole of his clean off-duty blouse.
A day came at length when the dinner hour
brought no Edna AS soon as the works shut
down George was off, returning at the last minute
to resume his work. This lasted several days. and
then he was absent for whole week. When he
resumed his duties and the dinner hour arrived,
neighbor boy brought his dinner bucket, and
with it single flower. George took them and
wentout, staying away the full recess. This he
did from that time on. From interested curiosity
| one day followed him, and found him sitting
alongside small grassy grave in the hillside ceme-
terry, his dinner untasted and the flower that
"mamma SEN" nesting in the grass OF the little
mound. | was bachelor, who had roamed the
sacreudess OF ta1 ties Of the HOLY love e. Of ia
parent for it's child and felt that was thus ia
yored in not having such sorrow as knew George
must suffer. l walked back with him and implied
as much in my attempts at consoling him. %,
Never will l forget the earnestness and true elo-
quence of the man when he stopped and laid Ills
hand on my shoulder and said: "My friend,
wouldnot lose single memory of my dead child
or exchange one blade of grass from that little
grave for all the wealth of the world Nor would
give up one jot of the sorrowI bear for all your
boosted freedom of feeling, and even when the
time comes-and it is near at hand-when man.
mas flower will cease to come, and | will have
two graves instead of one, will 90 my way, doing
my duty, awaiting my time, and wishing no for
getfufness."
All this was meaningless to me then. But |
have since had, loved and lost such child, and
my raised and chastened spirit has bowed to the
same sacred sorrow as made me almost revere nv
friend as being more than mortal. .
