Présentation de l'éditeur
Hke himself have been bereaved, has prompted the author from time to time to attempt something for their consolation. In the bitter experiences of life there is such close kinship that whatever may be said for the comfort of one, with almost equal propriety may be said for the comfort of thousands. Whatever may be adapted to assuage individual griefs, is likely to prove adapted to alleviate the sorrows of many. Part of the book was written hastily and at the solicitation of personal friends, and, aside from the immediate end which it was designed to subserve, may seem to possess little value. But there are vacant chairs and aching hearts in too many homes for it to find no response of welcome. When the fields are struggling to cast off the windingsheet of winter, when little buds are sobbing for the warmth of spring, and forests are sighing for the robes which shall relieve them of the look of desolation, the smallest blossoms on the hillside attract attention, and thrill us with their prophetic voices. The bee will drink delicious sweets from the flowers which we carelessly trample in the dust.
