they go. The flowers you
mean to send fortheir coflins
send to brigh'en and sweeten
their homos before they leave
them. If my friends have al
abaster boxes laid away, full
of fragrant perfumes of sym
pathy and affection, which
they intend to break over
my dead body, I would rath
er they would briugthem out
in my weary and troubled
hours, and open them, that
I may be refreshed and cheer
ed by them while I need them.
I. would rather have a plain
coffin without a flower, a fu
neral without an eulogy,
than a life without the sweet
ness of love and sympathy.
Let us learn to anoint our
friends beforehand for their
burial. Post-mortem kind
ness does notcheer the troub
led spirit. Flowers on the cof
fin casi; no fragrance back
ward over life's weary way."
