Mr. Orton, li pity the wife more than the deserted husband. Why? Because he seems to be one of those who have soui-developinent enough to make his own happiness in a great measure. And it is such a sublime thing to have that faith in humanity that lives on through cloud ed days and weary ways. The woman is one of those poor, hu man moths who cannot know real peace or lasting happiness. Such people have j the”old no capacity for deep ana lasting affec tion, and thdy are led hither and thither by the influence of material things. I have studied the type, and always they are to be pitied. They are born without much moral strength and have failed to cultivate the little they possess. When, O when, will we all grow into the knowledge that morality is a science as well as a religion; that before we can injure another we must first Injure our- ■elves. Watch the life of your friend, Mr. Or ton. You will find it worth while. I can’t Imagine what led you to t/*ink I thought I bad made a new discovery. I have known that many men were self ish for the longest—and I have also known that many of their sisters were not unlike them. But most people are as good as they know how to be at heart, and I love ’’folks”—not for their faults, but in spite of them. And not far from me lives a man as wholly unselfish as Ruskin. This man gave up his wife—a lovely, frivolous crea ture, who detested her husband's piou3 ways to the extent that she emptied the contents of the sugar bowl on his bowed head when he was in the aot of "saying grace” at their tabic. He went to her beautiful home to see her and her second “husband,” and found her ill In bed.
