purpose. She longed to go forth
into the world, and if she could
not rise above the level of ordinary
womankind, she could at least
prepare herself to live without be-
ing an incumbrance to others.
With fixed and firm resolve she
stepped not aside when met by
painful difficulties but steadfastly
pursued the course she had mark
ed out for herself. Even when
oyertaken by her last illness, it
was with deep regret that she gave
up the struggle.
For those who loved her most,
'tis hard to realize that she is
dead and for her steps they oft
times listen and look for her
accustomed coming with strange
forgetfulness. They cannot feel
that she will come no more. They
cannot feel that the light of the
bright eye is dead, or that such
beauty as hers would ever perish.
There is none left among the
living whom they loved so we'll.
Her death was like the quick
fading of bright star in the
dark blue sky, or the rude awaken
ing in sweet cream.
She was beautiful in life, but
more beautiful in death, for when
the light went out upon the lovely
face, the faint shadow of smile
still fingered, which even the last
agony of life could not drive away.
Let us think that she felt on her
fair brow the breath of an eternal
morning, and that her dying eyes
saw the bright lights of falrer
world, where she is waiting to well
come those who are bowed in their
great sorrow.
