"Three times shall thy prayer be
granted" said the Almighty, sto re-
visit thy children upon earth, but thou
canst not alleviate their troubles.''
] When she came down to earth for
the first time, she found the aged Ja.
cob sorrowing bitterly for both her
sons. Joseph's bloody garment lay
near him. "My gray hairs,' cried be,
!" will be brought down with sorrow to
the grave, for now also Benoni is ta-
ken away from me-"


Signing, she reascended 10 Heaven,
when, after while, the blessed spirits
ofher husband and sons rejoined her,
and told her how beautifully all their
sorrow had been turned into JOY.


She came the second time to VISIT
her tomb. She saw her posterity dri.
ven into exile as herds Of cattle are
driven. She found every thing desc
late; even her grave had not been
spared. She fingered long time by
that solitary tomb, and the air was 81.
led with the sighing OF an invisible
spirit.

with the sorrows ofthy children., The

but soon there is turn in the valley.
and behold the dirge is changed into
a song of praise. Trust thy children
with me; they are my children also;
thy heart was not made 20 bear and
to soften the woes ofthe earth-oorn.n


Henceforth the spirit ofthe beauti.
ful Rachel remained content in Para
disc. She inquired Of the newly.ar-
rived concerning the destiny which
they had fulfilled upon earth; but she
never revisited this world; and the
signing OF her motherly heart was no
more heard upon her tomb. The sep.
nlchre is silent, and Rachel reioices
with her children in eternal rest.
