Stanley appeared moved, and led his
wife TO her own apartment, where he
tried to divert her mind by introducing
something amusing, though il vas with
lriie success.
Tired with the ellcminhcy ol an oilers
life, Stanley had PROMISED To jo'n hunt
,ng party next morning. and accordingly
I-lt home at an early hour, desiring hts
wife tn keep up her spirits ali his return,
when he should preseui her with brace
or two OF moorlowl to atone for his alb
sence.
Corne!ia felt on that day more than
usually depressed, and determined she
would break through the restrictions Of
her lnIidous husband, and write 10 hei
another, unbnsom To her the depths OF her
sorrnw, and implore as last request,
forgiveness. Stanley being from home
afforded favorable opportunity, :" with
out farther hesitation she addressed her
dscousolaie parent IN the following letter.
