Twas a sad, sad time last week il
Milton when two estimable women passe'
away, and their remains were laid at res
an the charnel house Of the grave. On'
of them leaves seven small children, tn,
youngest but a few days old. As We
witnessed the remaining parent entel

that we could do as we witnessed the
