Be still, sad heart, and cease repining,
Behind the clouds the sun is shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all;
Into each life some rain must fall--,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
--_Longfellow._

_Affliction_--For every sort of suffering there is sleep provided by a
gracious Providence, save that of sin.
--_J. Wilson._
41
Affliction's sons are brothers in distress;
A brother to relieve, how exquisite the bliss!
--_Burns._
42
_Affronts_--Young men soon give, and soon forget affronts; old age is
slow in both.
--_Addison._
43
Old age is a joy, when youth has been well spent.
