| From tho Mobile Register,
The Daughter's Frnyer,
My father, thou hast not tho tale denied—
Tfccy s;iy jlujt cro noon to-morrow
Thou wilt bv.ng back a radiant and smiling
brido
To our lonely house of sorrow.
I should wish thee joy of thy coming hlis*,
But tenrs are my words suppressing ;
I think on my mother’s dying Itiss
And iny mother's parting blossing.
Yet to-morrow I hono to hide mv care, —
I will still my bosom’s benting,
And strive to give to thy chosen fair
A kind and courtenoa greeting.
She will heed mo nut, in the joyous pride
Of her pomp and friends, and beauty,
Ah! little need has n new made brido
Of a daughter's quiet duty.
Thou gnvost her costly goni, they sny,
When thy heart first fondly sought her;
Pear father, dne nuptial gift, I pray,
Bestow on thy weeping daughter.
My eye even now on the treasure falls,
I covet anil ask no other;
It has hong for yenrs on our modern walls,
‘Tis tho portrait of my mother.
To morrow, when all is in festal guise,
And the guests our rooms are tilling,
The calm, meek gnze of those lmr l eyes
Might thy soul with grief ho thrilling;
And a gloom on thy marriage banquet cas
Sad thoughts of their owner giving.
For a fleeting twe’vemonth scarce has past
Since she mingled with the living.
If thy bride should weary nr offend,
That potrait may Waken feelings
Of the love of thy fond, departed friend,
And its sweet and kind revealing
Of her mind’s commanding force unchecked
By feeble or selfi-h weakness,
Of her speech, when dazzling intellect
Was softened by Christian meekness.
ifhen, father, grant that at once to nigh f ,
Ere the bridal crowd's intrusion,
I carry this portrait from thv sight
To my chamber's still seclusion.
It will nerve me to-morrow's dawn to hear,
It will beam on me protection,
When I ask of Heaven, in faltering prayer,
To hallow the new connection.
Thou will waken, father, in pride and glee
To renew the ties late broken ;
But naught upon earth remains to mo
Save this sad and silent token.
The husband’s tears may be few and brief,
He may woo and win another:
But the daughter clings with unchanging grief
To ti e image of Her Mother.
A Beautiful Retrospect.— When the sum
mer day of youth is slowly wasting away into
tho nightfall of age, and the shadows of the
past year grow deeper and deeper as life wears
to a close, it is pleasant to look back through
the vista of lime upon the joys and sorrows
of early years. If wo have a home to shel
ter, or hearts to rejoico with us, and friends
who have been gathering around our fireside,
then the rough places of our wayfaring will
bo worn and smoothed away in the twilight of
life, while tho bright sunny spots we have
passed through will grow brighter and more
beautiful. Happy indeed, arc those whose in
tercourse with the world has not changed tho
course of their holier feeling, or broken those
musical chords of tho heart whose vibrations
are so melodious, so tender and so touching in
the evening of age.
There is a dentist in Harrisburg who
has a daughter who is loved by a young
man, but he is bashful, and don’t like to
go to the house to see her unless he has
an excuse. So every Tuesday and Fri
day he calls and gets the old man to pull
a tooth for him, and then ho goes into
the back parlor and sparks the girl under
the pretence of trying to find his hat.—
He has only six teeth now, and what wor
ries him is to know what he is going to
do when they are nli out and his new set
is made andrput in. lie is all the more
anxious about it because the fair maid
doesn't seem as.if she was going to re
spond to his heartfelt sighs, and there is
room for suspicion that she has been
playing the coquette so as to rope in a
good customer for her fond parent. The
young man’s confidential friends state
that he has intimated his intention either
to have that girl or to jerk the wnole
skeleton out of her father.
