'The purpose that sustained me is over; Sampson; and there is

nothing now to hold me to life。  I am not fit for life; I am weak

and spiritless; I have no hope and no object; my day is done。'



In truth; I could hardly have believed that the broken man who then

spoke to me was the man who had so strongly and so differently

impressed me when his purpose was before him。  I used such

entreaties with him; as I could; but he still said; and always

said; in a patient; undemonstrative way; … nothing could avail him;

… he was broken…hearted。



He died early in the next spring。  He was buried by the side of the

poor young lady for whom he had cherished those tender and unhappy

regrets; and he left all he had to her sister。  She lived to be a

happy wife and mother; she married my sister's son; who succeeded

poor Meltham; she is living now; and her children ride about the

garden on my walking…stick when I go to see her。
