Fatal jestins! 1t has wrecked my peace fol-
life? And deep cry of pain burst from thu
heart o Emily
The storm ofjeGlous passion was over, anC

left behind. The hopeless loss; the cruel dis
fgurations; the place made dcsolate forever.

he received IN iar-dstant city, letter from
his unhappy, repentant wife, in which, after re-
latlng the Cause of her sudden fit of Jealous an

aldOr---So passionate in its pleadings was thy
letter, that the miserable young man, who's,
heart was an aching void,' yielded and few
back to the wife lie had in such foolish haste
deserted,
Their meeting was full Of tenderness, full c
hope for the future. Both were wiser Cor tht
painful experience; and both more sober in spir

and the sunca out in mid heavens again, thc
brightness but seemed to show the storms fear

Everywhere was something to remind them o
PASSIONS wild frenzy; and daily were they made
sadly conscious Of having lost forever, in the wal
of elements some precious thing held by ths
heart Of priceless value.

all the after years Of Mr.. and Mrs. Floyd, the
brightness of their life.
Beware Of storms in the atmosphere of love
The veriest triaes may sometimes arouse them
but they never pass away without leaving the
footprints Of deSolaton behind them Some
thing is lost to the heart, and lost foreyerl
