rightly distinguish tho face Of him
who shared my captivity in the eternal
twilight Of our cell. The first year
we talked inccssantly together; we
related our past lives, our JOYS forev-
er gone, over and over again. The
next year We communicated to each
other cur thoughts and ideas on all
subjects. The third year We had no
ideas to communicates; We were be-
ginning to lose the power OF lchec,
ton. The fourth, at tho interval Of
month or go, We would open our
lips to ask each ether if it were pos
siblc that the world went on as gav
and bustliug as when We formed a
portion Of mankial. The fifth we
were silent. The sixth lie was taken
away, | never knew where, to execu-
tion or to liberty. But l was glad
when nc was gone; even solitude was
better than thc pale, vacant face
One day Git must have been a year
or two after my companions left me)
the dungeon door was opened. and a
voice, whence proceeding knew
not, uttered these words by or
der Of his Imperial Majesty, inti-
mate to you that your wife died a
year ago Then the door was shut,
and ! heard no more; they had fun.
