Conversation under such ciroumstances
must needs be serfous, One cannot be tri-
vial when he is looking on the grandest of
God's great works. It was an time when
gouls were in close relations toeach other;
when inmost thoughts came to thelips and
uttered themselves almost unconsciously,
as in soliloquy.

from the family circle, shad sped away in
the night and gone where no human eyes
could foow her. With a broken heart, but
still in somewhat stolcal langoage, he re-
ferred tothat vacant chair. ‘Gone! gone!”
