as the disease reached its crisis It became
a new source OF anguish. And when she
saw death about to destroy that only pledge
of her love, she felt as If her last earthly
hope was fading. She hastily despatched
message to her husband. They met. It
was over the pale, cold form Of that loved
one. With broken hearts they there knelt,
prayed tor forgiveness and renewed before
high heaven, their former vows. They
had been taught by bitter experience, that
separated, the world was blank 10 them
that they were all the world to each
other. They had learned they were mu-
tually dependent, and that these mutual
dependencies paced them upon an equality
Ever after did they most sacred1y observe
the reciprocal duties and obligations of
matrimonial life. And without cloud TO
dim tor single momeat their sunshine of
bliss, they lived to love "ti!l death did
them part"
