Alas! how one sin leads on to another, and, like flame of fire, spread desolation in every direction! Foolish pleasures lea to seduction; seduction produces wrath; wrath thirsts for revenge; the thirst of revenge has recourse to treachery; treachery issues is murder; and murder is followed by other lawless actions. Were we to trace the history of unlawful commerce between the sexes, we shoul find it, more than any other sin, ending in blood __________________________________________________________________
