Twentieth century culture and deportment, or, The lady and gentleman at home and abroad : containing rules of etiquette for all occasions ... . yet comforted a man in the hour of trouble, and I am not going to try their effect in your case. And yet let me say, in heartfelt earnest, that I was deeply pained to hear of your sudden and unexpected reverse of fortune. Misfortune is very hard to bear, when it falls upon one, like a flash of lightning from a clear sky, without any ETIQUETTE OF FUNERALS AND MOURNING. 327 warning. But do not be discouraged. When Senator Benton saw the workof many years consumed in ten minutes, he took the matter cooly, went towork again, and lived long enough to repair the damage. So I hope willyou. There is no motto like try again, for those whom fate has strickendown. Besides, there are better things than wealth even in this world, tosay nothing of the next, where we shall neither buy nor sell. If I can be of any assistance to you, let me know it, and I will help youas far as I am able. In the meantime, cheer up, and believe me as ever, Yours sincerely, H. R. Drayton, James Sterling. Covington, SHE ENTERED ON UNTROUBLED REST.
