IN MEMDRIAM TD TAMMY - - - Perhaps, O Queen Proserpina, in your dim realm beyond the Gates of Sleep, there may appear before your throne a little, dusky shade, whose bright eyes shine beneath his shaggy locks, who, with uplifted paws, will ask you silently to toss the ball he drops before your feet. Pray love him well, for in the world above like you he too was loved, and now is mourned, companion for a playful mood, a friend who shared the wondering of a kindly heart. Pray give him your caress, Proserpina, then toss his ball far out across the fair Elysian Fields, where dwell none but the true of heart, that like those noble souls he too may know in death the same joy that was his in life. MARIE WOODWORTH TEMPLETON.
