comparions, The third was the tiny coffin of a babe, 
— a blossom early faded, saved by death from many 
a blighting sin and withering sorrow. 
The three graves were at different parts of the 
churchyard, and the groups scattered about divested 
it for a time of its usual appearance of stillness. 
But soon ail was quiet again, save when the silence 
was broken at intervals by the spade of the grave- 
digger, and the widow left her child to sleep 
beneath the shade of the dark Yew. Yes ! and 
there he will sleep, “till the angel shall stand upon 
the sea and upon the earth, and lifting up his hand 
to heaven, swear by Him that liveth for ever and 
ever, that there shall be time no longer.” t{ Till the 
heavens be no more, he shall not awake, nor be 
raised out of his sleep.”
