To be a widower is no more to hear! abont him the - tolt footsteps, and; rustling robes of his ministering angel,, No more .to : gaze- upon her angelic face, or to feel, the magne tism of her sparkling eyes. No more to sip Joy from the honied words that flowed from her lips. iXo more to enfold her to his adoring bosom ; or cradle his head on. her . heaving heart ; its beating poise,; his lullaby; br night, 'his' inspiration by day j No mora to feel tiie .magaetism of her soft. embraces, and: breathe the Atmosphere of , her sympathisin g de voted heart. .No, no.

Alone amid tne teeming activities or the day, and in the silence and gloom; of the night.1 It It to moarn all day long, as the matelessi dove npon the one bouse top. It is to fight life's bat-! tie alone, without a helpmeet. rlt ia to be confronted, haunted and chased at all times; and every where by the hideous ghost of loneliness. It is to; be a hybrid half man and. half wo man, to be cook aud hostler, to rock! the cradle and follow the plough, to keep the house and tun tne business. It is to see the sunlight .at relioity disappear from his home; and sable drapery of desolation, testoon his! chamber windows. It is to. feet his life a dark vacum, hope a tantalizing mirage, a delusive phantom. This is surely bad enough, bat It is not all, nor the worst of his case. To be a widower is to be jeered, teased, and joked, by all classes and all ages; to be the subject of criticism - and butt of ridicule I for j everybody.
