hand OF death, he could not understand
"hy ne should be torn from his work ere
IL was scarce begun. He said:
Outside the feeble grasp Of our cir

heart. There Is no distinct calculation
Of loss. but only a sinking sensation of
the heart that warns us that the days

precautions against distress the mind ig-
noFes his existence or his memory. But
the heart cannot wholly forget. and often
