Excerpt from Friendship's Offering, And, Winter's Wreath: A Christmas and New Year's Present for 1835 Such were the feelings with which the father of Lucy Rushton wept over his child, when he returned from the funeral of his wife. Mr. Rushton was a clergy man of good family, but not of great fortune his sole dependence was a small living, and he had mar ried a lady of higher family than his own, not al together and very decidedly in opposition to the will Of her friends, but with their very cold consent, and but ill concealed reluctance. He lived happily with his wife, but not longz - her frame was feeble, her health was delicate, her spirits tremblingly but quietly cheerful; her affection for her husband and her only child, and her delight in their society, formed for her so great a fulness of delight in being, that she thought Of no higher bliss in mortal life. Surely it is a pleasant thing to have our world at home, to find the most cheerful warmth at our own fire-sides, the pleasantest seat in our own chairs, the balmiest sleep on our own beds, and the most interesting conversation with the inmates of our own home and the members of our own family - When one of this happy three had gone down to the grave, the remaining two became to each other so much the more intensely interesting and important. T o a 'thoughtful and considerate parent, the education of an only child is an object sufficiently. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
