They have left the prints of their heavy feet upon the life of Irene, and the deep marks will never be wholly obliterated. She were less than human if this were not so. Two years! Yet, not once in that long, heart-aching time had she for a single moment looked backward in weakness.
Even here had her image followed him, and he saw her with the old smile of love upon her face. And he saw the smile give way to looks of sorrow, and heard the voice saying, in tones of the tenderest entreaty, "William! my poor wanderer! come home! Come home!" Oh! with what deep, heart-aching sincerity did the poor wretch wish that he had never turned aside into the ways of folly.
Given a heart-aching longing in every human being for happiness, here was high warrant for going in pursuit of it.
Heart-aching thoughts here I had about my poor children, who were scattered up and down among the wild beasts of the forest. I opened my Bible to read, and the Lord brought that precious Scripture to me. This was a sweet cordial to me when I was ready to faint; many and many a time have I sat down and wept sweetly over this Scripture. At this place we continued about four days.
It is pitiful, it is heart-aching, to see the vain but wild and earnest efforts made by the slaves of intemperance to get free from their cruel bondage. Thousands rend their fetters every year after some desperate struggle, and escape. But, alas! how many are captured and taken back into slavery!

Is it done to torment me? 'No no! O, mee deer, your story helps me out of the most heart-aching quandary a poor man ever found himself in!
Now will the ghastly jaws of despair gape upon thee, and now will condemnings of conscience, like thunder-claps, continually batter against thy weary spirit. Oh the fear, and the heart-aching that will seize them in their rising! the frightful thoughts that then will fill their throbbing hearts! Now must that soul that hath been in hell-fire among the devils possess the body again.
With that kiss, soft and hot, between his eyes, and those words, 'I hope they won't worry you much, in his ears, he sat down to a cigarette, before a dying fire. The heat was out of him the glow of cutting a dash. It was all a damned heart-aching bore.
