One unfortun ate has paid with her life "the penalty for her sin and shame. For her the play is ended, the curtain "dropped, the lights extinguished. She answers at the bar of eternity for the deeds done in the flesh, and whether' sinned soirist - or sinning, meets .there -the enactions for her folly, There are other' . .parties,, to this tragedy, of whom the law ' will ta;e cognizance.
