"Yes, my husband; ten years ago to-day I committed my happiness to your keeping, and never for one moment have I regretted the step."
"Bless you, darling, for the word! How great are the mercies of G.o.d to me!
Yonder is our first-born. I see you as you were when first I met and coveted you; and here you stand by my side, the true wife who has been for ten years the joy and light of my heart and home. Wife, I love you better to-day than ever before, and if it be the will of G.o.d, may we yet have five times ten years to live together in love and harmony."
"We shall!" she answered earnestly; "eternity is ours, and death itself can part us but for a little while."
THE END.
