faculties and powers of her mind are more
active than the same powers and faculties
are in the mind of man. Her senses, those
channels through which impressions from
surrounding objects are produced upon the
mind, d,are always on the alert. She can smell
moral corruption, hear scandal, see wrongs
and lmperiections in others, taste the bitter
things of life, and feel the sweet of imag-
mary evils, when men can smell, see, taste,

We will now resume the subject. In
my sermon OF last week, promised to
give you the history of several cases
which have cone under my observation,
showing to what extent the heart may be-
come affected, and how far other organs of
the system are implicated with it in those
diseases which have their origin in the mind.

cases designed for this sermon but one and
this ono did not come under my observation,
but for proof OF it y0p are referred to the
papers and journals of 1910. In the winter
OF S33,Lady Flora W., "a young lady of ex-
traordinary beauty and accomplishments,
shone forth iu the armament of London's
gayest society, a brilliant star of the first
magnitude. The light which she flashed
upon her numerous admirers was not bor-
rowed but emanated from pure mind, un-
contaminated by the too common vices in.

or, Lord W., was proud of her, and looked
forward to the day,with pleasurable antici-
patrons OF happiness, when she would be-
come the wife of Lord S., his intimate and
bosom compartment whom a more
gee erous and noble young man the vast do
sminlons OF Great Britain could never boast.
But the "green-eyed monster jealousy,

upon her, the double tongue of slander set
on fire by hell was loosed and dared to utter
lnsinuatloDs against the lovliest creatures
on earth, and suddenly 'schange came

too pure for the circle in which she moved.
On, the anguish of that brothers. heart, who
can tell as he saw his lively sister fold up
her brlghteSe hopes in the napkin of disap-
pointment, and drop like the wilted rose
under the scorching sun Of too often un-
just and cruel public opinion. Well might
he say,
IL saw thee weep-the big bright tear
Came DER that eye of blue
And then me thought ii did appear
violet dropping dew"
As ne sat day after day and listened to
her moarnful song:
Ny soul IS dark-oh quickly string
The harp ! yet can brook 10 hear,
And ettIy geatle finger fling
Its melting murmurs DER mine car.
Ii in this aeart hope be dear,
That sound sha charm it forth again
If in those eyes there lurk tear,
Twill dow and cease to burn my brain.
Bat bid the strain be wide and Deep
Nor let thy notes ofjoy be first
tell the minstrel must weep,
Or else tnis heavy heart will burst
For it hath been by sorrow nursd,
And ached in sleepless silence long
And now It's doom'd to know the worst,
And break at once--or yield to song.n
In that gay circle of the nobility of
England, in which size triumphantlv bore
away the palm, she had rivals. Who has
them not?
