their parent had not spoken zinc
the domestic tragedy, more than tw
years ago.
BY the Kindness of tho Jailor thu
daughters were allowed to visit thei
father in his cell, when a most af
iecting interview took place; the
girls falling on his neck and weep
ing like childfen, while from the
eyes of the stern, strong man who
had slain the vile destroyer Of lis
chili's honor, and had known her ia
fall step by step to degradation and
despair, the great tears ran like rain;
the agony of heart wrung BY affiict-
ion and agonized by terrible suffer-
ing. to q won ans tenderness.
For some minutes not one Of the
trio spoke. Sobs choked their ut
terance, and the memory Of the fear
ful past awed them into silence. =
Their sorrow melted them to sympa
thy, and love and grief, remorse and
repentance filled their hearts to
bursting. In that moment they we're
purified; ia that hour their errors
wore blotted out by tears Of deepest
contrition, and atonement made to
Nature and themselves.
At last one of the gills. the dis
honored and avenged, fell at her
fathers feet and said, with still
streaming eyes:

forgive me?"
Eyes. yes, my child, with all my
heart" was the solemn and impress.

given!"

after he was by their side offering
up a prayer for strength to resiet
temptation and avoid evil 10 future.
The father embracs6 them tenderly
again and again, and assured them
Of his entire forgiveness, while they
promised amendment and reform,
and resolved to seek comfort and
support in the faith their parent had
recently sought.
The scene as witnessed was ex-
tremely pathetic, and such as our
plain pencil cannot paint. Several
who witnessed the reconciliation
were, in spite Of themselves, melted
to tears, and left the cell with bot.

which, however it may err, is always
held by a golden though invisible

Wagons for AfrIca.

MIR. s. M. Griffin, an ingeniou,
mechanic and carriage. builder, of thi'
city, has received an order, from a
very distant market, for the con-
struction of some carriages, ofa nov.
el description. The order comes,
through agents, from parties on the
coast Of Africa, and is for twelve oi
fifteen wagons, to be precisely like a
model shipped, aud now in the chop
of Mr.. Griffin. The model vehicle
is made from variety Of wood
which persons having seen it do not
agree in clsssifying-its bark, which
in one or two places remains on re-
senbllng beech, but differing 10 9TH
or respects from that wood. 1t seems
to yield easily to decay, and, indeed
the order is understood to have come
hither because Of the superiority OF
New Hampshire wood, as well as
the skill Of her mechanics.
The wheels Of this vehicle are o.
a Ndishing" pattern. as it is termed
that 10, the felloes and tires arc placed
about six inches outside of a lint
passing perpendicularly through the
hub. The edges OF the spokes are
carved. and the whole running par,
Is painted a dingy red. The axles
are very heavy, and the drsft-shaft
10 much like plow. beam.
On this running part is fastened a
frame work, resembling somewhat
that OF the plantation wagons, which
are built in this city to be used in
the Southern states for drawing cot
ton. but the whole is o. a clumsy
Dutch like style and finish.
Such carriages are used for long
caravan journeys toward the interior
OF Africa. and thirty bullocks are
often employed in the draught of one
Of them. They are usually built for
the great trading companies on the
coast, and are frequently disposed ol
to the more wealthy of the natives
who are said to pay extremely ex,
orSitsnt prices for them.-[ Concord
