the breaking of her laws, and we feel that it is no reflection on our beloved sister, to learn this same lesson from her earnest life, of which she herself was conscious when too late to avail of the benefit of such knowledge.
Who of us are perfect? Yet it is from the so called mistakes in life that we are taught the lessons that lead on toward perfection.
The grandeur of such a character stimulates us to have a higher opinion of human nature, and to emulate her virtues and most excellent traits, so that at the end, we too may hear the message, "Well done, good and faithful servant; enter thou into the joys of thy Lord."
Among her many newspaper clippings these two will give a little idea of her trend of thought and longing:
WITH THEE.
If I could know that after all These heavy bonds have ceased to thrall. We, whom in life the fates divide, Should sweetly slumber side by side— That one green spray would drop its dew Softly alike above us two. All would be well, for I should be At last, dear, loving heart, with thee!
How sweet to know this dust of ours. Mingling, will grow the self-same flowers— The scent of leaves, the song-bird's tone, At once across our rest be blown. One breadth of sun, one sheet of rain Make green the earth above us twain! Ah, sweet and strange, for I should be, At least, dear tender heart, with thee!
