THE DAUGHTER.


The old man sits beside the lock,
Where all day drips the water;
The old wife in her faded trock EI4s
Still knits and mods by the cottage-clock,
But, ah, the little daughter,
see no more her loving eyes,
| hear no more her low replies
Alas, alas, the daughter !
At dawn the birds begin to sing,
And Ger and DER the water,
The swallow fits with winking wing,
The old folks wake with the waking
spring =
But, ah, the little daughter
No more to list the cuckoos call
She roams the woods ofthe Manor hall
Alas, alas, the daugher /!
Midsummer brought thu young earl
back, ~ e. ,y Gl-t
The lord of wood and water; .....
He met her in the greenwood track
His eyes were wenderous bold and black,
All, me, the little daughter!
He whispered "'frustm me, Omine own!
She wept, Il live for thee alone J! r..---
Alas, alas, the daughter
Slow moved the weary months to years
All day drippcd down the water.
The fathers heart was dull with fears,
The mothers eyes were dim withtears-

the causes of crime into two classes, tho
prediSposing and the existing, Tho
frs; class is dismissed with paragrt pin
and the latter is limited 10 the single a.
ement of habtual drinking. They state
only the average Judgment OF the civil
ized world when they assert that Ito
use of liquor is responsible tom greater
extent than all other causes for th1
spread of crime. And this Judgment ia
growing more and more earnest. We

cion soon arose that 1t was all plan

means insurance to the amount of t25, ,ODD
which he bad upon hs own lie. Tho
matter remained mystery until Friday
last, when the professor rcappcnred in
Dover, aud made a conlessiun, acknoel,

A Protestant Convent to be Establish
cd in RHllimarn.

From the New YORK Herald December l0.J
By the steamer Celtic, Of the White Star
line, there have been expected since Saturday
three distinguished ladies of the Protestant
Episcopal Order of the Sisters Of All Saints,
or, as they are sometimes called, from the
character of their mission and labors, "Sis-
tiers of the Poor" The principal Of the
gentle visitors is Sister Helen, who without
doubt, in consideration of her pure-hearted
devotion and her noble services in the past,
will be made the Lady Superior of the new
establishment in this country. The two ac-
companying Sisters are younger than she.
Sister Helen is daughter Of the late Cap
tain Eowden, of the Royal navy Of England,
and from her first taking of the veil, in
which she was the third member Of the Or
der, she has sigualized her modest and unas-
Stunning self by acts Of the most wonderful
nature and of the kindest womanhood. In
London her name has been very well known
for some years, and has more than once been
graced with enthusiastic praise from the lips
OF her lady sovereign, Victoria.
Sister Helen followed III the bloody path
of the Fmnco-Prussian war, beginning at
the great battle Of Saarbruck.
The order of tile Sisters Of All Saints has
not been established more than Il dozen OF
years, being the second one within the fold
of the English Church. Its home is in Mar
guerite street, London. 1t has thus far, it is
believed, been entirely supported by the
generosity of private individuals who are
interested in its welfare. It's principal OBJ
iect is that of ministering to the sick, aud
the system of nursing followed by the Sisters
is probably the best and most intelligent
ever used.
A leading Episcopalian minister OF Balti
more, Nd, recently wrote to the Lady Supe
rior of the community in London, saying
that there was a great field for their labors
here. The present migration is result o
this incident.
The Celtic sailed from Liverpool on the
2Sth of last month, and is somewhat over
due. The Sisters will pause here for only
short time, and will then proceed to their III
ture home in Baltimore, which IS alread.
prepared for their reception.
