church, and I went in for a moment.
A eiv mourners, with the appearance
of extreme poverty, were kneeling
round a coffin at one of the side al
tars; and a solitary priest, with an
attendant boy, was mumbling (he
prayers of the dead. As I came out,
another hearse drove up,with a rough
coffin, scantily covered with a pail,
ail'd followed by one poor old man.
They hurried in, and I strolled a-

water cnjrieis were filling their

mnnisnt four different litters crossed
toward* the hospital each with its
two or three followers, women and
tfffildren, friends or relatives of the
sink, accompanying them to the door,
w hero they parted from them, most
probably for ever. The litters were

who must have been dead half an
hour, undiscovered by the attendants.
One oflhom was an old woman, near

if face, who was perfectly cold-lips,
limbs, body and all. The other was
younger, and looked as if she had died
in pain. Her eyes appeared as if
they had been forced half out the

A FATHER’S ADVICE TO HIS
DAUGHTER.
You arc now, Sophy, grown up to
woman’s estate: and you are not to
remain always single. Your in o'Irer
and 1 would have you happy, because
our happiness depends on yours: Tiler
happiness of a virtuous young woman,
*s to make an iioucst man happy:
.;e must, therefore, think of marry
ing you. YVe must think of this be
times, for your fate through liie de
fends on you' 1 marriage and we can
not think too much upon it.
Nothing, perhaps, is more diffi
cult than the choice of a good
husband, except perhaps the choos
ing of a good wife. You, Sophy,
will be this rare woman; you will be
the pride of our lives, and our hap
piness in old age. But, however
gieat merit.you may have, there arc
men who have still more. Theie is
no man who ought not to think it an
honor to obtain you, there aie many
whom it would Jo you honor to ob
tain. Among this number the busi
ness is to fiud one suitable to you, lo
}0i want those which arc most valu
ed by the world Do not aspire,
j therefore, to what you cannot attain
to; and to regulato jour ambition not
by your owi. judgement, or your mo
ther’s and mine, hut by the opinion of
mankind.
If dUcourageniriit nod despair 'ret acquainted with him, and to make
are not medicines, I should think tile • him acquainted with you.
If nothing were to bo considered
but merit equal to your own, l know
not where I should sot limits to your
hopes: but never raise them above
your fortune, which, you are to re
member, is very small. You never
saw our prosperity; you were born
after tve failed in the world. You
have made our poverty pleasing to
us, and we have slimed in it without
pail. Never, child, seek for that
wealth which we thank Heaven for
taking from us; we never tasted hap
piness until w e lost our riches.
You are too ngieeablo, Sophy, not
to please somebody; and you are not
so poor as to render yen burthen to
an honest man. You will be courted,
aud p« rhaps by persons who are not
worthy of j’ou. If they show them
selves what they really are, you will
