4 DauqIters Love.--There Is no one
so slow to note the follies or sins OF fa-,
ther as daughter. The wife OF his bo-
som may fly in horror from his embrace,
but his haired daughter cleayes to
him in boundless charity. Quickened by
the visitation of the pain to the patcr al
dwelling, her prayers are more brief but
more earnest--her effo'ts doubled and
untiling--and if she can but win tram
scient smile from that sullen and gloomy
face, she is paid. Oh, how richly paid!
for all her sleepess cares and unceasing
labms. The father may sink from deep
to deep-from y lower to a lower depth,
Satan's kinsmar and Satan's prey-those
who in happier hour received lrgely of
his bcnefactions may start when they be-
hold his shadow, and accelerate their
pace to get bevond it: all, all may for
sake him--God, the wo i'd; I'll, but The
devil; and his daughter. Poor child! if
thou canst not save, thy feeble torch,
made as bright as thy power can make it,
throws at leas fickeling light upon the
path, till the object Of thy unquenchable
affection has fo'evcr left thee, and is
shrouded in thick darkness; ard when un-
done, when gone from thee and gone for
ever, though thou mnyest wed thy ea,lv
love. and know in him Ill thy young. fond
heart pictured, .,ct ag'n and again. in the
midst of thy placid Joy, even with the
smiling infant on thv knee. the lost one
will not be all forgotten! Seeing the
past rs it were only yesterday, forgc.ful
of thy little d ,rling, thou wilt cx"laim,
from the depths Of thy ever mindful and
affccti.nate spirit: "My father, oh! my
father!"
