I have merely been an eye-witness Is , that being much accustomed to see and converse with ladies who might naturally think of
undertaking such a post , I know , how stringent should be the demands of an employer in regard to the mental and physical power of

higher end than to weep for the dead ? life contains some better , and , if God willpleasanter task for you . "

was content to receive it without her heart . Stern accepted her ladly and hopefully . He would win her back to life , to activity ,
