It is not as if you had walked with me a little while and left me sweet memories of you that I might carry with me—memories to treasure in the alabaster box stored in the soul's most sacred recess, and sometimes to be brought out and poured as oint- ment upon the wounds that must come to all who walk life's weary way.

And, sweet, I cannot but believe that if 1 could have had you with me, my life might have been a very different thing. 1f you could but have set my feet firmiy on the way (the long way-——the weary way!) | might have walked with o much surer step. If I could but have brought my little triumphs and laid them at your feet, your sweet en- couragement, 1 know, would have spurred me on to higher endeavor.
