Excerpt from Morley Ernstein or the Tenants of the Heart, Vol. 3 of 3 She sat, then, lonely in her chamber, thinking over her fate, and it must be acknowledged that sad indeed were all her feelings, and deep was the depression that rested on her mind. But very, very different was her endurance of the sor row from that of Morley Ernstein. She was sensible that her happiness was gone for ever, her brightest hopes disappointed, the treasured affections of her heart, the first deep, earnest love Of her young Spirit cast away upon the ocean of Time - one of all the manifold things which in the course of the world are wrecked and perish in that engulfing sea. She felt her fate in all its bitterness, but she writhed not under the pang; she knew that it is woman's lot to endure, and she prepared her mind for a life of endurance. She wept Often, it is true, but she prayed often, too. She prayed not only for herself, but for him whose peace was ship wrecked With her own - she prayed that God.
