was too uncharitable. That no doubt
you were firmly convinced in your own
mind that your husband was Beecher
and that she was as weak and foolish as
Mrs. Tilton, and that time was necessa-

diseased mind.'


"And does she not dispise me ?"


"No, indeed. She has4the broadest
charity for all the infrmities the human
family is afflicted with. She simply
considers you undeveloped in the moral
and spiritual part Of your nature She

Davis consider all such low form of or
ganized life as small mills for grinding
gross matter The human family is yet
in its teens and each member is acting
up to the highest conception of right,
thus helping the world along. Is it any
wonder that children should make mis-
takes? Our hardest battles must be
fought with ignorance and prejudice.
A true knowledge and obedience to ma
ture and Divine law would result in
as right action until the
world gains an upright position. All
things and persons will seem unbal-
anced. Not only is the material part of
the universe in motion, but the inte-
lectual, moral and spiritual part Is whirl-
ing on the axis of principle it has not
yet attained an upright or perpendicu-
lar action. When it does its people
and productions will be upright in &C.
tion also. And then will be less, very
much less jarring and discord upon this
planet"


All we'll, Jerusha I am half inclined
to think that it is as mother used to say
that you had the warmest heart and
coolest head and was really the one
that ought to have had my noble hus-
band-but I have been conscious of
many faults and so afraid that he would
cease to care for one that guess I have
made precious minnie of myself


Yes, that is just it, and you have
made confession that all the Jealous
wives and husbands, too, might truth
fully make. A consciousness of their
own short comings and that, I believe,
is the very fount from which all jeal-
ousies arise. Madge says on this SUBJ
ject, that if she was unable to hold
Mr.. Maple by the strong cords of love
and kindness that she is daily enabled
to throw around him, she would have
no i'll will toward him but would at
once set about searching for the cause
in herself and if she could discover any
short coming on her part, or that she
lacked in any direction the necessary
qualities to fill his nature or ideal of
true womanhood, she would set her.
self, seduously at work to remedy the
evil, and never cease her effort until
she had arisen to his sublime
heigt."


All we'll she is the true philosopher
and I, yes I, have been the dupe of my
own evil passions. Will you bear a
message to her :? I want she should
come to tea, this very evening. If you
think to acknowledge my faults, is a
sufficient humiliation, I am willing to
pay that penance, and tomorrow we
will all 60 to church together, and then
before the Sacred Altar of God, and
the whole congregation, I viii acknowl-
edge my past errors and ask forgive
ness at the great Tribunal"


And now gentle readers in hopes
this may not be your picture so imper-
fectly sketched, I will simply say this
is Mrs. Conners mistake and the way
she rectifed it. NJ.
