youth, she had trusted, in compassion
strengthened her soul, and was preparing
her spirit for the conflict her feeble nature
was soon to pass through. She grew Ian
guild and detected, as she saw the being
who, of all others upon earth, she loved
the most, thus throwing himself away, and
treating her with cold neglect. His indif-
ference prayed upon spirit naturally of the
keenest sensibility. She felt no more the
endearments of his love, nor heard no
more the many little enquiries, which fall
SO pleasantly upon fond wife's ear strong
drink had destroyed every noble and gen
erous feeling Instead of his evenings be-
ing spent in company with his wife, she
was left alone in her solitary chamber,
prey to her own bitter thoughts, whilst he
was spending the night amid the haunts
of dissipation and vice. Poor Mary knew
too well that he had ceased to love
her, or even to care for her, and she
now felt that her every tie on earth was
severed-as if all the pure and holy affec-
tons Of the heart were dead unto her But
she murmuied not, nor ever once reproach-
ed the author of her misery. She died
loving him, and her last prayer was
breathed for him, as her pure spirit flew
from pain and grief to the bosom Of its
God. Thus ended the life of this lovely
and devoted woman. A victim to the un-
kindness Of one who had sworn to protect
her. Two brief hee,ipg years closed the
scene on the broken-hearted Mary, and a
life Of misery now stands in atonement for
her husbands guilt. 1t was tissue wo-
ven with his own hands; it was, | repeat,
his own fault, and he now stands guilty in
the sight of Heaven as the murderer of his
wife. "The rose is formed for a warm and
genial sun, stormy climate must wither
and destroy it; such, too, is the flower OF
love; such woman's happiness"
