" About or in the month of August Ma, a chimney sweeper at Burlington (or Bridlingon) in Yeirleihire. bought a little toy few the sum of eight guineas of a beggar woman ; tl•is child, who ap peared to be about four years of age, V:113 CliiplOyeil to sweep a chim ney in that town ; lie was taken up by an elder boy, who left bins there, win n, a'. might reasonbly b . .• expected, hy fell down ; by which accident, be bruised his legs terribly against the grito. , ; his air and manner proved eo different from those of the children who are usually employed for that purpose, that Miss Strickteulsof Boynton. hearing of the chili, went to see him ; they were notch interested with Imo, mid so peismeded that lie had beta stolen that they took him home with them (the chimney Weeper being glad to part with him). Soan after he got to Boynton, the seat of Sir George Strick land, a plate with sotnethin:: to cat was brought him ; on eceing a silver fork lie was quite &lighted, and soil, " Papa had such forks as those" lie also said the carpet in the drawing-room wa , like Papa's: the housekeeper, slimed him a silver watch, he asked what sort it was— `• Papa% was a gold watch ;" he then piesall the handle, aced said, " Papa's watch rings, wiry due not Yours ?"
