Being devoted exclusively to a reflection, not inapposite to the events in this history nor to those in any other which chronicles the life of men.
There is one warning lesson in life which few of us have not received, and no book that I can call to memory has noted down with an adequate emphasis.
It is this: "Beware of parting!"
The true sadness is not in the pain of the parting, it is in the When and the How you are to meet again with the face about to vanish from your view!
From the passionate farewell to the woman who has your heart in her keeping, to the cordial good-by exchanged with pleasant companions at a watering-place, a country-house, or the close of a festive day's blithe and careless excursion,--a cord, stronger or weaker, is snapped asunder in every parting, and Time's busy fingers are not practised in re-splicing broken ties.
