l recollected bowling, when child, about
the domestic altar, yet my mother had
died, and the altar was broken down.
With much trembling omitted our usual
family worship. The next morning, when
breakfast was over, my little daughter
came with Bible in her hand and said,
Grandpa, we always have prayers, night
and morning, when papa is gone will you
read" "Do you pray, Minnie!?" he asked.
" Yes, sir, | pray ; but l meant family
prayers" "WelI, dear, you read chap
ter and let mamma pray this time" In a
clear voice she read aloud an appropriate
chapter and we kneeled in prayer. After
rising from her knees she took her slate
and pencil and sat quietly down, and as
the peace that follows duty performed
flowed into my soul, l could not help ex-
claiming to myself, blessed child, a les
son hast thou taught me? May 1 never
forget it May l never lack thy simple
and thy unfaltering courage !"-Ladaes'
