To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The shock of these repeated sorrows was too much for her weakened body and unstrung nerves. Her mind gave way, and a mild and inoffensive form of insanity came upon her. She heard voices calling her the voices of her martyred husband and her lost children. She wan- dered about the neighborhood, and at night went into the grave-yard near by and slept, if sleep came to her relief in her sadness, with her head pillowed upon the new-made graves of her children. The neighbors pitied and sympathized,... and did what uninstructed kindness could do. The chill evenings and biting frosts of autumn and early winter came; and one morning she was found helpless and half-dead from exposure to the cold night air. Restored a little, she was sent, in a farmer's wagon, to the county officer whose duties included the care of the poor and unfor- tunate. When she was brought, he happened to be sitting in a public place with some boon companions. In the most unfeeling manner, he jested on her visits to the "bone-yard, " as, in his refined vernacular, he 72 TWENTY-FIVE YEARS named the resting-place of her lost little children.
