ST. ELMO.
A Novel
BY
AUGUSTA J. EVANS,
AUTHOR OF
“BEULAH,” “MACARIA,” ETC.
“Ah! the true rule is—a true wife in her husband's house is his servant; it is in
his heart that she is queen. Whatever of the best he can conceive, it is her
part to be; whatever of the highest he can hope, it is hers to promise; all
that is dark in him she must purge into purity; all that is failing
in him she must strengthen into truth; from her, through all
the world's clamor, he must win his praise; in her,
through all the world's warfare, he must find his
peace.”
—John Ruskin.
