This world is dreary enough with all the light and sunshine which surrounds the most favored and fortunate, but when the curtain of death drops down and hides the form and face of a wife and mother, no more to be seen on earth, it so rends and snaps the heart strings of life, that few indeed are prepared to endure it when it comes. With this inevitable fate of us all staring us full in the face, from which there is no possible escape, and the time so uncertain, yet how few realize the fact. And who can say that he is living to day as he would if he knew he would die tomorrow.
