THE FAITHFUL WIFE. A true hearted
woman always walks by faith and not by
sight no matter that the world forsakes
the objects of her affections, or that he
stumbles and falls AMI repeats his error,
or that lie stumbes and falls and repeats
his error, or that adversely overwhelms
him in his career. she il always in the
right place, her heart ever glowing with
hope, and pointing to the future when all
shall be bright and cheering She assails
the heat of her friend rudely, bnt charms
it by those delicate touches of silent elo-
quence that speak without voice and find
their way to the hearts best fountain, as
heart penetrates and WHITES the world OF
beauty and life.
