There is nothing innocent, or good that dies, and is forgotten, let us hold to that faith or none. An infant, a little prattling child dying in its mother's arms, will live again in the better thoughts of those who loved it, and play its part through them in the redeeming actions of the world. there is not an angel added to the Host of Heaven but does its blessed work on earth through those that loved it here. Of every tear that sorrowing mortals shed on such green graves, some good is born, some gentler nature comes, and death's dark pathway becomes a way of light to Heaven.
