The unusual number of babes and children in Brighain whose souls have of late listened to the call from above, brings to our mind the following sweet words of comfort from Longfellow's ''Resignation:" ''Resig-nation:" There is no (lock, however wulehed anil tended. But one dead lamb ia there I There is no fireside, lunvsoe'er defended. JJttt has one vacant chair! The air is full of fare we Ms to the dying, And immrning-j for the dead; I The heart of Rachel, fur he. children cry- I Will not heconiforted ! I Let n?j he patient ! These sovere aflliclions Not from Ihe ground arise, But oftentimes celestial benedictions Assume this dark disguise. She is not dead the child of our aflec-tion aflec-tion But gone unto that school Where she no lunger needs our poor projection, pro-jection, But Christ himself doth rule. |
