A PATHETIC SCENE.
Little Girl Prays at the Deathbsd Of Her
Father For Mercy For His SLAYER.

Little Girl Prays at the Deathbsd of Her
Father For Mercy For His slayer.
From the Houston Post.
The bloody tragedy at Waco recent
~, with the details OF which the pub
lie is familiar, furnished one incident
not so we'll known, which illunined
the dark scene like a ray of sunlight
from a rifted cloud. The Waco Tribune
tells US that just after death had claim
ed } W. Harris, and while the once
bright home was plunged in the deep
est sorrow, the little daughter of the
dead man knelt by the corpse and offer
ed up the following prayer:
"God, our Father, Thou hast taken
our dear papa home to Thee. Oh.
keep and care for dear mama and all of
US, and some day let us meet and know
papa again. And our Father have
mercy on the man who killed my papa.
for he has those who love him and are
praying for his life. Dear God, hear
them, grant their prayers and spare
his life for them"
Ii was unnecessarysfor the Tribune
TO add that in the presence of such
scene strong men wept. The patbos
OF the gloomy situation was calculated
to move the stoutest and hardest helrt.
The fatherless child by the corpse of a
lOyiuu parapt ru h M, ,,;,la,,a. -.
snatched so suddenly from life and
home and hope offering a prayer for
the author of that ruin. There was a
glimpse of the divinity that is within
Jus shown in the sweet charity and no.
bic impulse of the child.
For he has those who love him ana
are praying for his life" How like
the Christ who exclaimed, Forgive
them, Father, for they know not what
they do"
That little prayer, breathing all that
there is of hope and love ana charity
in christianity, deserves to be engrav-
en- upon the public memory. As the
IICGIe eleYen-year-old girl kneiG, awe
stricken in the ashes Of her home, by
the side of the cold clay that had been
once her brave protector, her hope and
her pride, and gazed upon the mute
lips that had so often kissed her own,
