Does the World Miss Any One ?

Not long. The best and most useful of us will soon be forgotten. Those who to-day are filling a large place in the world’s regard will pass away from the remembrance of men in a few months, or, at farthest, in a few years after the grave has closed upon their remains. We are shedding tears above a newmade grave and wildly crying out in our grief that our loss is irreparable, yet in a short time the tendrils of love have entwined around other supports, and we no longer miss the one who has gone. So passes the world. But there arc those to whom a loss is beyond repair. There are men from whose memories no woman’s smile can chase recollections of the sweet face that has given up all its beauty at death’s icy touch. There are women whose plighted faith extends beyond the grave, and drives away as profane those who would entice them from a worship of their buried loves. Such loyalty, however, is hidden away from the public gaze. The world sweeps on beside and around them and carbs not to look in upon this unobtruding grief. It carves a line and records a stone over the dead and hastens away to offer homage to the living. It cries out weepingly, “le roy est mort,” but with the next breath exclaims joyously, “ vive le roy.” [From the Louisville Home and Farm.] Frank O.
