it leaves us to the torture of those feelings, which its power had

suspended--not annihilated,--to the tortures of compassion, remorse, and

conscience

Then, aken as froaze in astonishment, and horror--but the deed

is committed; not all the powers of heaven and earth united can

undo it--and the spectres of conscience will not fly! What are

riches--grandeur--health itself, to the luxury of a pure conscience, the

health of the soul;--and what the sufferings of poverty, disappointuish of an afflicted one! O! how long is it since

I knew that luxury! I believed, that I had suffered the s of hus

were ease, cos of conscience, which I have since

endured

I tasted too as called the sweet of revenge--but it was

transient, it expired even with the object, that provoked it Remember,

sister, that the passions are the seeds of vices as well as of virtues,

froly as they are nurtured Unhappy

they who have never been taught the art to govern them!'
