 lis sad duty indeed, when in the course Of the days work, 1t becomes necessary to chronicle the deaths of those we love 'Tis sad duty even when the subjects of our feeble efforts have lived their allotted three-scofe and ten. or when they were personally unknown to us and the chronicling k largely matter Of mechanical effort. bot when the subject is one whom the writer has known and loved. the duty then indeed becomes a painful task, and one from which We shrink.
