reminded him how soon he
would again see his daughter, not, indeed, encompassed with infirmity,
and depressed with disease, but "shining as the sun in the firmament,"
the poor old man wept plentifully, and little would he be to be envied
who could have refrained. I looked back on the cottage until it could no
longer be seen, and then went on my way rejoicing.

"On the third of November last, being again in that district, I had the
pleasure of repeating my visit to the good old Dairyman, who immediately
recollected me. He told me many persons had been to see him since my
former call, but he believed they were strangers, not inhabitants of the
island. He appeared much weaker than before, and evidently drawing
nearer to his rest. Whether he is still living, I know not; but it is
probable I shall see him no more."--The pious old Dairyman lived three
years after this visit: he departed in the hope of meeting his gracious
Redeemer.
