passed, but the grief and trials of 20 years
were written on her face. Her experience,
as indeed l guessed by intuition. and after
wards learned, was the same old one repeat
ed. She had married for love, a husband who
agined would go with her. BY quick de-
grees he had sunk lower and lower, from
the intermittent drunkard to the confirmed
topper, and her life was one long abuse.
How it will end for her and for him God
only knows; but she has learned enough
thus far, TO feel how utterly blind is that in
fatuation which rejects all counsel, and in
suits the friendship that would shield and
save.
