wss a gratetul end to a stormy life
For many days it has been known that
Mrs. South worth was failing. For two
days the sick woman.bersclf had known
that she was dying. Fearing nothing,
regretting nothing, the name of the
Saviour on her lips, she fell asleep at
midnight and at daybreak was gone.
At 9 o’clock on Monday evening Mat-
JJ® Steck, of the Tombs, summoned
Dr. Chetwood to attend Mrs South-
wortii, as she appeared to her to be
slaking rapidly. The physician saw at
once that a relapse bad set in, and so
informed her mother, who at once sent
for her two sons. Although too weak
to talk, the dying woman herself seem
ed to fully realize how near death was
With her wasted fingers clasped in her
mother’s warm hand, her big brown
eyes fastened trustfully upon her moth
er’s face. she lay waiting for tbe sum
mons. No fear was in her face, no ter
ror of the messenger to come. She
turned a grateful look upon those about
her as they did all in their power to
make her comfortable, but as they left
tbe cell she beckoned her mother close.
“Mamma,” she whispered, “bold me
in your arms. I want to say my
rayers.” And then, as she had ever
one sb a merry, sinless child, she put
her weak arms around her mother’s
neck ’and faltered forth the prayer of
babyhood:
Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray thee, Lord, my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake
I pray thee, Lord, my soul to take.
With a sob that she could not control,
the mother laid her child back among
the pillows and watched her drooping
lids. Like a creature of alabaster she
seemed in the flickering light. She
never spoke afterwards, though when
her brothers came she flashed upon
them a last look of recognition and
seemed almost to smile. It was a mute
“Goodnight!”
In the violet light of early morning
the troubled breathing of the sleeper
ceased. Mother and brothers bent over
the rude cot. They touched her fore
head and her hands, in which the
mother bad placed a tiny crucifix,
Cold they were, and growing colder.
It was with her the morning of a new
day.
For a little while they sat beside her.
They grieved, and yet they were glad.
Then the mother turned to her sons and
said:
“It is better so. I am glad she has
gone.”
