CONCLUSION.
Suchare facts, from which the nature and strength and delicacy of affection may be seen.
Dear, dear Woman!—Let me,—indebted as I am to your tenderness and love for every blessing of my life,—let me say, in the words of the sweet Northern poet:
“Long since, this world’s thorny waysHad numbered out my weary days,Had it not been for you.”
“Long since, this world’s thorny waysHad numbered out my weary days,Had it not been for you.”
“Long since, this world’s thorny ways
Had numbered out my weary days,
Had it not been for you.”
William Stevens, Printer, Bell Yard, Temple Bar.
