62 THE EMPTY CRIB. In my precious photograph -book, where the images of dear old Brooklyn friends meet me with a look of welcome that often draws tears to my eyes, there is a card with thy face upon it, and oppo- site, in one chair, are cuddled up together the forms of two babies that you and I crowed over more than once, when "the tw^ins " were an " institution " in your household. I am not asharned to say, my brother beloved, that I have wept bitterly over those mementoes of years ago. My hea...rt is full for you in what I know is one of the keenest afflictions you were ever called to suffer. I wish no wish more tenderly this morning than that it were in my power to utter one word that would give comfort to you and yours. You know that every word I now send you is written out of the very valley of MEMORIAL. 63 the shadow of death in which I have been treading these weeks past. In the loss of him who was at once a brother and my own child all in one, I have suf- fered beyond any experience I have ever known in a somewhat tried and broken life.
