MRS. r1LroN,s srATnmEN T.

To pick up anew the sorrows of the last ten years, the stings and pains l had daily schooled myself to bury and forgive, makes this imperative duty, as called forth by the malicious statement of my husband, the saddest act of my life. Besides, my thought of following the Master contradiets this act of my pen, and 8 sense of the perversion of my life-faith almost compe1s me now to stand aside, till God, Himself, delivers.
 Yet I see in this act an urgent call and privilege from which I shrink not.

 "Do you believe that ?" said he.

 "Well, let me tell you-they all live; not one is destroyed.
 If this was said to intimidate me, it had quite the contrary effect. I had never been so fearless, nor seem so clearly before with whom I was deal ing. Coming to me little later, he said, "I want you to read it /; you will find it vindication of yourself. You have not stood before the community for five years as you now do."
 Reused still further by the wicked ness hid behind so false a mask, re- plieds Theodore, understand me, this is the last time you call me publicly to walk through this filth. My character needs no vindication at this late hour from you. There was time, had you spoken out clearly, truthfully, and manfully for me, had been grateful j; but now shall speak and act for my self. Know also that if in the future I see scrap of paper referring to any human being, however remote, which it seems to me you might use or ..per- vert for your own ends will destroy it."

 "Just so far," replied.
