We two are pursuing journeys far apart across the fickle desert of life. But may it not be that they are still as happy as we ? It is true that they have an humble and inglorious career before them, and must ever bear the painful thought of dying without leaving a mark behind them ; but un- like many a poor white man, who has to tread the same career no...t only without a hope of glory, but along the thorns of want, and through great agony, they see a constant care to provide for their support, to lead them along peaceful and thornless paths, and 37 n to sustain them even to the final close of life's jour- ney in the grave.
