But we all pass n
For the univers

Though the eye Is dim, and the bridge is dark,
And the river it spans is wide,
Yet Faith points through to a shining mount,
That looms on the other side.
To enable our feet in the next day's march
To climb up that golden ridge,
We must all lie down for one night's rest
Inside of the Covered Bridge.

To a Friend, on the Death of an Infant.
PEMBERTON, MIS., Nov. 18, 18-.
My DAR FIEND*)
I realize that this letter will find you burled in the
deepest sorrow at the loss of your darling little Emma, and that words
of mine will be entirely inadequate to assuage your overwhelming
grief; yet I feel that I must write a few words to assure you that I am
thinking of you and praying for you.
If there can be a compensating thought, it is that your darling
returned to the God who gave it, pure and unspotted by the world's
tempttions.
The white rose and bud, I send, I trust you will permit to rest upon
your darling's pillow.
With feelings of the deepest sympathy, I remain, dear friend,
Yours Very Sincerely,
MARION BRADSHAW.

Fortune.
