Mr.. Grndle of Hancock introduced the
following resolve:
Whereas we have been panied by learn
ing that our colleague, the Hon. Omar
Clark, is suffering from severe afiiiction
caused by the recent death of his child /;
therefore,
Resolved, That we tender to him and his
family our warmest sympathies in this time
of trouble,
Resolved, That these resolutions be en-
tered in the Journal of the Senate, and a
copy of them suitably framed, be sent to
him AS an evidence that we are duly mind
full of his suiierings.
Mr. Grinlle of Hancock During the
past week we have noticed that onr col
league, Senator Clark, has been absent
from his seat. presume that in the hurry
of our work we had neglected
to inquire into the reason for
his absence, and it was only
last evening that | learned that it was ON
account of death in his family. And oh,
what Il feeling of sadness came over me- at
the announcement of this intelligence. For
we cope here MS senators to render service
to our State, not for the pay that we get,
for we all know that that is very small but
We look for our compensation to the enjoy
ments of the session. From the time We
are elected we are anticipating the pleas
ures that are coming 10 US from the ac-
quaintances that we shall make and from
the social intercourse that we shall have
with men from all over the State. We
enter upon the enjoyments of our work and
we begin to feel that we are realizing our
pleasant anticipaiions; and yet amid all
these days of pleasure, We are Think Q
of our relatives, friends and neigbbors at
home. We are constantly longing to 60
home to the family circle. And oh, how
sad it is to think that right in the midst OF
these enjoyments and of these longings one
of our number should be summoned to his
home to days and nights of watchfulness
and anxiety and sorrow, and in the end te
only have that sorrow deepened and inten,
sifed by the knowledge that death has
claimed one of his family as its victim; and
then to add sorrow to sorrow to feel impelIed
by sense OF duty to rise up and leave hi,
home, that home shrou'led in grief, to tea,
himself away from those who can full,
-sympathize with him and share his griefs
and, brOken-hearted, return here to minglt
with men who cannot possibly feel as h,
feels.
If there is in all the world one for whom
my heart aches 1t is The man placed in these
circumstances.
OF course, We can do nothing to mi,i-
gate his sorrow, but we should do ourselve,
an injustice if we did not have for this mar
the tenderest sympatnies, anil in some s,it
able way give expression to those sympa
thirs.
