There was sotow ,~i the hods

hearts sorrow, rnd were much
by their parents' grief ; the father
weihejd down by the affliction, b
mother' avas quite overwhelmed by t
terriblle blow. By night and by da
hadl sl de'v otedherself to her sick cl-i ;
watched him. lifted him up, carried hij
auht, idone everything for him hersolf.
,ifhe had felt as if lhe were a part of her=

believe that he was dea d--t hat he should

lu these hours of deepoeZ distress she
could not weep. She8b oght not of
the young daughter~i ? o were left to
her : her husbands tears fell on her
brow, but she did not look up at hhn-
her thoughts were with he1r dead child:
her wholo heart anitsoiul were "rapnpled
up in recalling every reminiscence of
the lost one, every syllable of his infan
tilhe prattle.
''The day of the funeral came. She
had not slept the night before, but, to
wards iimorniling, she was overcome
fatigue, and silank for a short time into
repose. ])uring that time the cofftin
was reotived itnto another apartment,
and tihe cover was scrwed down with
