To watch for aud train the budding thoughts

to that widowed heart, than such scene
with her nstic daughter.
She knelt at the accustomed hour TO thank
God fer the mercies Of the day, and pray for
care during the coming night; then as usual
came the earnest God bless dear mother
hut the PRAYER was stilied, the little hand un-
clas?ed, and look Of agony ard wonder met
the mothers eye, as the words Of hopeful sor-
row burst from the lips OF the kueeIing child =,
L cannot pray for father any more = Since
her little lips had been able to form the
dear name, she prayed for a blessing upon
It; it had followed close after mother 5
name. for ne had said that must come first
and now to say the familiar prayer, aud leave
her father out, No wonder the new though ht
seemed too much for the childish mind to re-
ceive
N@-itI lot some ulNuItE'S tl1J S!e might

with voice that fatered almost too much
for utterauce, she said
