Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Which Is the Wiser: Or People Abroad; A Tale for Youth There had been a deal of sorrow in the dwelling of the widow Hoffmann - much sorrow and many tears; there had been deaths of little children, and deaths also of those growing up to man´s and woman´s estate; there had been the destruction of all life´s hopes and prospects, in the death, whilst yet in the prime of life, and the bright promise of fortune, of a beloved and affectionate husband. Add to all this, that there had been the change from plenty and prosperity, to narrow economy and the privation of every costly indulgence, and every one will grant that the widow Hoffmann was not without cause for tears; that it was not without cause either, that her once bright eye was dimmed, and her once abundant black hair was thin and of a silvery whiteness. Still, though all this was true, the heart of the widow had ceased to mourn as one without hope; and the sorrow which had passed, and which had been so overwhelming in the passing, might be compared now to the background to a picture, serving in a great degree to throw the near and the present into stronger and clearer lights.
