has fallen there will never be withdrawn,
that henceforth our friend must walk
softly In loneliness of soul. A year
elapses, or two, or three. We meet
again, and we observe that the school
of sorrow has wrought its boneficlent
work. Our friend greets us oheerfully,
enters with zest into life's duties and
pleasures, and perhaps forms new as

even the memory of the old. The form
