On the contrary, knowing what it is to suffer, exert yourself to diminish the evil, that besets the children of men. This is God's purpose in all his wonderful efforts ; aspire to be an auxi- liary under his command ; need I say, warm your children's hearts to assist those who suffer, fortify their minds to bear what sufferings may befal themselves, arid protect them from all the ills you are able, " " Protect them !" replied Maurice ; " oh, father, I live only to make this atonement to their a...ngel mother. Might I but die for them, perhaps I might meet her again without shame. JDo you not remember, when all the people said I was such a good husband, she thought me so too, and so did I myself; what a cloud is removed from my judgment ! how clearly I see now, that to that tender, gentle, and feeling spirit, all my usage was rude and unkind, and every word I uttered almost a wrong !" I did my best to support Maurice, though 1 was heartstricken myself; for Berghetta's na 107 lure seemed so much to invite affection, and having no vanity or selfishness that ever repell- ed one, no one knew her but loved her, and there was no death ever occasioned so much sincere regret in my parish.
