AN AFFECTING SCENE.

There is now confined in the Jail at Cincin-
natl, an old man named Kain, charged with
murder. More than two years ago he killed a
young man named Singleton who had seduced
one OF bis two motherless children, He was
tired and convicted, and after long series of
legal proceedings, the conviction was set aside
and new trial ordered During the interval
he has been in prison. In the meantime, how
ever, the daughter, in revenge or punishment
OF whose wrongs he had committed the hOmi
eide, being without home, parents. or friends,
descended with regular steps the pathway to
shame and crime. Her younger sister also be-
came an outcast, and few months ago both
were arrested upon charge of larceny. For
three months, the father and daughters have
been in adjoining cells. but during that time
and indeed not since he killed the seducer of
the elder, has he spoken to them. A few days
the counsel for Kahn succeeded in producing
reconciliation between the parent and his chill
dren, and the scene that took place is described
by the Enquirer:
By the Kindness Of The jailOr the dau ghters
were allowed to visit their father in the cell,
when a most affecting interview took place; the
girls falling on his neck and weeping like chill
dren, while from the eyes Of the stern, strong
man. who had slain the vile destroyer of his
child 8 honor, and had known her to fall step
by step to degradation and despair, the great
tears ran like rain-the agony Of a heart wrung
by affection and agonized by terrible suffering
tO u WOlnA1l tenderness.
For some minutes no one Of that trio spoke
SObs chOked their utterance, and the memory
of the fearful past awed them into silence.
Their sorrow melted them to sympathy, and
love and grief remOrse and repentance, filled
their hearts to bursting. In that moment they
were purified; in that hour their errors were
blOtted out by the tears of deepest contrition,
and atOnement made to nature and themselves
AT last one of the girls the dishonored and
avenged, fell at her fathers feet, and said,
with still streaming eyes:
80, father, dearest father, can you forgive
me?''
''Yes, yes, my child, with all my hear" ="
was the solemn and impressive answer, "as L
homo to be forgiven ~
Then both his daughters knelt and received
his blessing. and a moment after he was by
their side offering up prayer for strength to
resist temptation and avoid evil in the future
The father embraced them tenderly again and
again, and assured them of his entire forgive
ness, while they promised amendment and re-
form, and resolved to seek comfort and support
In the faith their parent recently had sought
The scene as witnessed was extremely pa
thetic, and such as plain pencil cannot
paint. Several who witnessed the reconciliation
were. in spite of themselves, melted to tears.
and left the cell with better opinion of that
human nature which. however it may err is
always held by golden though invisible thread
to its native Heaven.

KNEW SHE EWOULD-Deacon W was a stsd
and honest Baptist deacon in one of the interior
towns in this State, who had vein of dry, caus-
tic humor in his composition. The deacon had
n boy Of some dozen summers, who was some
what inclined to be a little ugly when not under
the parental eye. In school especially. John
was source of constant annoyance to the
teacher. One day the mistress punished him
for some misdemeanOr, and John went home,
crying, to enter his complaint, and told his
father that the mistress had whipped him

his eyebrows, been whipped" ''Y-a-a-s,

--- undertakes to whip ye agin, you Jest
pitch in; don't let woman whip We if We can

but you may strike. scratch. bite and kick as
much as yere mind to-
The next day the boy went to school, and
emboldened by the permission given by his
father, was soon brought before the tribunal Of
violated rules. The teacher undertook to cor
rect him, and he did as his father had told him
The result was that John got most unmerci-
full trouncing, and was thoroughly subdued.
When he went homo, he went to his father cry-
ing. Well dad, | got an awful bad licking
to-day. What :" said the old deacon, ''have
y0ulet that woman whip We agin!" ''Y-a-a-s." "

deacon, you tarnal little fool, L knew she
would. and shell give ye a trOuncing every
time she undertakes it, and advise you tO be-
have yourself in future John began to have
some perception of his fathers motive. and ever
after was sadder and wiser boy.-ArOOstOO&
