The devil at lasl When any Of you. my

he loves almost 10 distraction, snd then
suddenly sees his adored ono flirting with,
or welded TO another; bu, l suppose he
feels a, FIRST as thou gh a piece Of ice was
thrust under his shirt, and his bosom ready
to collapse. He must endure the tormen,s
Of the damned, for time Al least; and the
only way in which he can heal his wounds,
| 10 10 plsstsr them over with Toe salve Of
forgetfulness and swallow this consoling
| anodyns I: There are yet as good fish in
| My dear friends-if you were all 10 love
one another, in moderate but sincere
chris.ianlike way, you might be sure Of
being loved, not only by your sister, wo.
man, and your brother. man, but also by
your Father. God. Then would peace,
harmony, and happiness prevail upon earth
and JOY among the angels Of heaven. Then
would our thorn covered ways he turned to
Howery lawns--,hen would the rank weeds
OF hatred pu, forth the sweet blossom Of
friendship--snd then might we all psItake
Of the pleasures Of love imprisoned by pain.
So mole il be. H''
