JEPTH.VS DAUGHTER. Site stood before her father's gorgeous tent To listen for his coming. Her loose hair Was resting "n her shoulders, like a cloud Floating around a statue, and the wind, Just swaying her light robe, revealed a shape Praxiteles might worship. She had clasped Her hands upon her bosom, and had raised Her beautiful dark, Jewish eyes to heaven, Till the long lashes laid upon her brow. Her lips were slightly parted, like the leaves Of a half grown pomegranate ; and her neck, Just where the check was melting toils curve, With the unearthly beauty sometimes there, Was shaded as if light had fallen off,
Its surface was so polished. She was quelling

substance, when si ffu ieutly heated, rises as invisible vapor or gas ; that is. it is reduced to the aerilorm state Great heat, therefore, would cause

most civilized nations any people who more strictly observe the duty
of filial obedience. A father need
only say, in the presence of his chil

The word good opeiates as it were by magic, and the childien immediately vie with each other to comply with the wishes of tluir parent. If a father sees an old deerepid man or wo
man pass by, led along by a child, he will draw the attention of his own children to the object by saying, 'What a good child that must be,
