79 CHAPTER V. CONFIDENCE IN GOD. Perhaps, as I have already supposed, in addition to the deep affliction of your being left a widow, you are left also in circumstances every way cal- culated to aggravate this already heavy woe. To lose your husband is of itself a cup of sorrow re- quiring nothing to fill it to overflowing, and em- bitter it with wormwood, except to have a young dependent family, and no provision for their support, or their settlement in the world. 0! for that wo- man to be plun...ged into all the anxieties of business, all the fear of destitution, who never knew a care, or tasted of solicitude ; for such an one, unskilled in trade, unused to labour, to have own maintenance and that of her children to earn !
