cent or good that dies and is for-gotten; let us hold to that faith or none. An infant, a prattling child,dying in its cradle, will live again in the better thoughts of those who lovedit, and play its part, through them, in the redeeming actions of the world,though its body be burnt to ashes or drowned in the deepest sea. Thereis not an angel added to the host of heaven but does its blessed work onearth in those that loved it here. Forgotten ! Oh, if the good deeds ofhuman creatures could be traced to their source, how beautiful would evendeath appear! For how much charity, mercy, and purified affectionwould be seen to have their growth in dusty graves!—Dickens. Oh, weep not for the dead!Rather, oh, rather give the tearTo those who darkly linger here When all besides are fled;Weep for the spirit witheringIn its cold, cheerless sorrowing;Weep for the young and lovely oneThat ruin darkly revels on; But never be a tear-drop shed For them, the pure, enfranchised dead. —Mary E. Broons.
