After a good deal of persuasion, Fanny
at length made the effort 70 get herself ready
to 60 out. She. was so weak that she tot
tered about the floor like one ifitoxicated.-
But ihs woman assistediand encouraged her.
tqRtilo she was, at length ready to gu.-
Then the Quaker came up 10 her room, and
with the tenderness and care of a father,
supported her down stairs, and when she had
ken her place in. the vehicle, entered With
the youngest child in bis arms, and sat BY
her side speaking to her, as he did 80, Kind
and encouraging words. -. 'sl"
The carriage was driven slowly, for few
squares. and then, stopped, Scarcely hSd
the motion ceased, when the door was sud-
denly opened, and Mr.. Crawford stood before
his daughter u H"Aua~''R raT-C9 20
''i ''My poor child !" he said, in a tender,
broken voice, as Fanny, overcome by his
unexpected appearance, sunk forward into
his arms. 2 as1GgJl1G- 81 g..r a3dE -'f's'
the suffering young creature open
ed her eyes again. she was upon her own
bed in her own room, in her old home. Her
father sat by her side, and held one Of her
hands tightly. There were tears in his
eyes. he tried to speak; but though his lips
moved there came from them no srticulate
sound. .....N .s -.ts -'A'
a "Do you forgive me, father ! Do you for
give me, father !" said Fanny, in a strong
whisper, half rising from her pillow and
looking eagerly, almost agonizingly into
her fathers face. ,..s.,. ...i..., -'F
81 have nothing to forgive,"" murmured
her father, as he drew his daughter towards
him SO that her head could lie again in his
bosom.
"But do you love me, father !" said Fanny,
'love me as Of old I"
He bent down and kissed her; and now
the tears fell from his eyes, and lay warm
and glistening upon her face. '@'s'.0
GAS of DID," he murmured, laying his
cheeks down upon that of his child, and
and claspedher more tightly in his arms.
And while he held her thus in his arms, the
long pent up waters Of affection were gush-
ing over his soul, and obliteratng the world
ly pride, anger and the iron will that had re-
tained them in their cruel dominion. He
was no longer man, stern and rigid in his
purpose; but child, with loving and ten

, There was light again in his dwelling
not the bright light of other times; for now
The rays were melloWed. But it was light.
And there was music again; not so joyous
but it was music, and its spell over his heart
was deeper, and its influence mere eleva,ing.
The man with the iron will and stern pur-
pose was subdued, and the power that sub
dued him was the presence of little child.

Friendship.

p Friendship is the attraction of sympathet-
ic natures. 1t is the solid foundation, as
love is the brilliant apex of social happiness.
The man who dwells apart, without friends
devoted to him as he is to them, is miser-
ably isolated being-a sort of demon exercis-
ing an evil, blighting, and pernicious infiu-
ence. Even if he be benevolently disposed
he lacks the natural ducts and channels for
his benevolence. But this is rare case
The man without friends, is generally an in
carnation. of cold absorbent sel6shness, a
lonely beast ofprey, vampire sucking the
blood of his fellow creatures. @sf IS ---
-ir Philanthropy without frindship is a chime-
ra. Friendship is the bond ofunion between
all men. It is the essence of that truth of
which Free. Masonry is the form. It is that
electric chain which girdles the earth. 80.
Friendship realizes on a small scale what
communism pitcures on large one. ra

Cromwell died in the plenitude OF his

eighteen years that he had been an over
