much to break him down, and he has
been Ear from well for several years,
suffering at times the severest bodily
and nervous pain. He bore il all
heroically and made thousands glad
who were not as i'll as he, and who
little dreamed OF his patient suffering.
IN his last letter to me Just before
taking his bed and but one month
before his death, in speaking of the
burdens and disappointments which
come to us all he used the following
language, which | have since read
over and over:
How many mirages we SEQ before
we actually lay our hands upon the
real and the truel How many times
we clutch the empty air and groan
through parched lips before we hear
the tinkle OF running streams and
smell the dewy grass whence comes
the chirp of the cricket and the song
OF the bobOlinks. Many weary
league OF dus and alkali and burning
plain must drink up our smarting
tears before we may cool our beating
pulses in the blessed shadows that
hover about great rock in weary
land"
The weary clild was even then close
within the shadow of the rock.
We measure mems influence and
comprehend their work better after
they have gone from us, and the world
will better understand him now. He
brought the smile, he dispelled the
frown. He VINO does this should find
a niche in the temple of enduring

fingers after its welcome blush and
bloom have departed.
