eternally prating of virtue and true love, yet false to the man she pretended to give her gizzard for heart she had not to, yet all the while openly flaunting in silks won by unnecessary, wholly unforced, concubinage, or prostitution, of her own seeking. If I were in power a few weeks, I would make examples of such wretches upon every tree on Boston Common; and thereafter when all of us shall meet beyond the grave, I, as the representative of the supreme God, would, and will look the fiend in the face, and proclaim in her wicked ear, Demon, you killed my child ! and may you exist accused of it forever. As it is, I mean to make the place, wherever I can find her, or her class, too hot and uncomfortable for a steady residence; and thanks to a true man, the time is not far off, when, with abundant means, I shall be enabled to champion the cause of Labor, Woman, and Human Rights, through the mighty agency of the press; and through it, too, I will fearlessly expose fraud and crime and wrong wherever I can find and unkennel them. The ambition of my life is wholly changed by reason of the child-murder thus ruthlessly thrust before mine eyes, and it may be, that God, in his providence, devised this means to wake me up to the work he hath assigned me in the thickening drama of the wondrous age we live in. If so, I thank him that I ever encountered the fiend. My design and hope is one day to help establish a refuge for poor women, wherein they shall, free of cant, creed or sect, color or nationality, be provided for in the season of trial, unquestioned, and being thus removed from the awful temptation of foeticide, bring forth their children healthily to, and for, God, and this great MAN-wanting world ; and then, when recovered, provide, if need be, for the youngling, and repeating the sweet words of the dear Jesus, say, “ Let them who are without sin cast at thee the first stone.” “ Sister, neither do I condemn thee, go thy way and sin no more ! ” Is such an ambition a worthy one? I think so. The day of power to do this thing is near at hand. The pleasant hope is the nursling of long, bitter, and wear}" years. And lo! when all seemed darkest, the golden sun shone out bright and fairly, and albeit I, like all frail creatures of God’s infinite love and mercy, have sinned, yet never once from the heart, ever from the head angular head which the world will one day forget, but, I hope
