And it may be that as. he thought the joy in his own heart was none the less in- tense and sacred because there came mingling with it a remembrance of some of the chastening possibilities of life, and a feeling of kindly sympathy with some other travellers! on its road for whom the end of the journey to- c,cthm‘ comld not be- far distant now.
