lily ON the iron; but every blow made
his edge more blunt, tin he ceased to

they were all worn down or broken;
then he fell aside.
"ITa! ha!" said the hammer, II knew
you wouldn't succeed, I'll show you the
way" but Mt his first stroke, off flew his
head, and the iron remained as before.

There are hearts hard enough to resist
the force of wrath. the malice of persc-
cution, and the fury Of pride, so as to
make their acts recoil on their adverse
ries; but there is power stronger than
any of these, and hard indeed is that
heart that can resist love.
