"HAVrEyILLE, Aug. 80.
ssThe time approaches, my dear father, when we
must separate, and | cannot bear the thought thai
weeks and months must pass away before We may
meet again for what shall do without ysut AS
Gee YOU leave u.s. cannot but feel TO the quick that
tbreakBg feeling that the cord is beng sever
sd which binds me to my home, that AN no longer,
il were, enc OF you, and that henceior'h snah
not be there 20 participate in your joys and sorrows,
As you have so sincerely done in mine. My dear
father from my heart thank you for your unceasing
kindness and sympathy in all that have suffered
You have often soohed my regrets and seftened the
bitterness of heart which has sometimes stolen over
me- Do not believe that, in future shall allow my
self to give way any of those feelings which, now
1 am sure ysu would disapprove. Oh, no; on the
contrary, shall fRd my happiness in endeavoring
to make that of Gonsave, and | already feel that
God will not leave unrewarded. If, at times,
cannot prevent myself from looking back with sad
ness TO the seat which is left in my own de-
Iightful home, have the consolation OF knowing
that have rot fiinehed from the path which knew
to be right, and that deserve your appreciation AID
your blessing; this thought will sustain me through
many dark moments. The recollection of the hap
piness which You have been the means Of bestowing
upon me, during the whole course OF my early life,
which has never been shaded with single cloud
will, sure, dear father, give you great pleasure
and it is thought which is Of great comfort TO me,
that the intercourse between US has been marked
by constant love and affection. Tell my dearest
Anna and Harriet how my heart aches to see them
once more. Heaven grant We may not long be Sc
psrsted, but cannot prevent my tears from falling
fast when think of them. Tell them, dear father,
how have suffered, and they will pity my distress,
AID not think have deserted them, which is
thought cannot bear. Farewell-my prayers will
follow You by and by land. Bless your child,
dearest father, when yoa are far away, and some
hines recall the devotion OF your attached daughter.
