You remember the time when your letters from Home in formed you of the fatal termination of our mothers illness it is the time of which i am now speaking. A few hours Only before she breathed her last she called to to her bedside and desired that we might be left together alone. Reminding that her death was near she spoke of my prospects in life she noticed my want of interest in the studies which were then supposed to be engaging my attention and she ended by entreating to to reconsider my refusal to enter the Church.

Could l refuse the last request she would Ever make of to 1 Knelt at the bedside and took her wasted hand in mine and solemnly promised her the respect a son owes to his mothers last wishes. Having bound myself by this sacred engagement i had no Choice but to accept the sacrifice which it imperatively exacted from me. The time had come when i must tear myself free from All unworthy associations. Sto matter what the Elfort Cost me i must separate myself at once and forever from the unhappy woman who was never could be. My wife. At Tho close of a Dull foggy Day. I set Forth with a heavy heart to say the words which were to part us forever. Her lodging was not far from the Banks of the thames. As i Drew near the place the darkness was gathering and the Broad sur face of was hidden. From me in a chill White Mist.

The instant she turned to meet me i saw in her face that something was wrong. Her Ordinary manner was Tho manner of an unusually Placid and person. Her temperament had Little of the liveliness which we associate in England with the French nature. She ready with her laugh and in All my previous experience 1 had never known her to cry. Now for the first time i saw tears pretty Brown eyes. She ran to meet me and Laid her head on my breast and burst into a passion ate fit of weeping that Shook her from head to foot. Could she by any human possibility have heard of Tho coining change in my life was she aware before i opened my lips of the hard necessity which had brought me to the House it was simply impossible. Tho thing could not be. I waited until her first burst of emotion had worn itself out then i asked with an uneasy conscience with a sinking heart what had happened to distress her. She Drew herself away from me sighing heavily and gave me the open latter which i had seen in her hand. Rend she said. And remember i fold you what might happen when we first met t read the letter.

During my sojourn in the Metropolis i was offered an Opportunity of preaching in a Church made famous by the eloquence of one of the popular pulpit orators of our time. In accepting the proposal i naturally Felt anxious to do my Best before the unusually Large and unusually intelligent congregation which would be assembled to hear me. At the period of which i am now speak ing All England had been startled by the discovery of a terrible crime perpetrated under circumstances of extreme provocation. I chose this crime As Tho main subject of my Sermon. Admitting that the Best among us were frail mortal creatures subject to evil promptings and provocations like the worst among my object was to show How a Christian Man May find his cer Tain Refuge from temptation in the Safe guards of his religion. I dwelt minutely on the hardships of n Christian s first struggle to resist the evil the help which his christianity Inex hauntingly held out to him in the worst relapses of the weaker and Viler part of his the steady and certain gain which was Tho ultimate Reward of his Faith and his and on the blessed sense of Peaco and Hap piness which accompanied the preaching to this effect with the fervent conviction that i Felt i May say for myself at least that i did no discredit to the Choice which had placed me in the pulpit. I held Tho attention of my congregation from the first word to the last. While was resting in the vestry on the conclusion of the service a note was brought to me written in Pencil.
