had drawn these words from
the physician that morning,
that his malady had increased
greatly since the day before.
Perceiving a visible change in
his appearance, she scarcely
left the room of her father till a
late hour, when he, perceiving
her almost fainting with fatigue,
requested her to retire to rest.
Albert supplied the place of his
sister, and remained with his
father, while the affectionate
care of his only surviving son
was grateful to the bosom of a
fond parent.
The slumbers of Alida were It was now Sunday, and he

When the physician made his
morning visit, as he was going
to take leave, Alida asked his
opinion. He shook his head,
and seemed to give no hopes
of recovery.

abundance, as her looks rested
upon the visage of her father,
and deep distress was depicted
in her countenance.
