In this we behold the Greatness and Righteousness of God, for though He may see not our hardships for awhile, the cry of the Innocent will ascend to Heaven; their sufferings will be obliterated, and if even on earth they gain not happiness, in those realms where sinless Angels abide, all past woes, all past years of want, all former wretchedness, are removed and forgotten, in an eternity of peace and celestial felicity.
And so it was with the soldier's wife whose sad trials we are narrating to the reader.

The spirit of the angel daughter had winged its flight to the Savior, and the little invisible hand pointed to its mother on earth below, and the Son of God supplicated the Father to relieve the miseries of the innocent.

We have shown how this was done.
The good of earth was the medium of salvation, and her trials are at an end.
Yes, they are at an end! But with them, when she fell fainting in her husband's arms on recognizing Awtry, the light of reason expired, and the soldier's wife was a maniac.
They bore her gently to the residence of Dr.Humphries, and there all that medical science could perform was done, and every attention was lavished upon her.

But it was of no avail; madness had seized the mind of Mrs.Wentworth, and the doctor shook his head sadly as he gazed upon her.

Days passed on, and still she continued in this state.
"I fear she will only recover her reason to die," observed Dr.
Humphries to Harry.
