pathetick request, "Let me see my

wildly cried--se Oh they have sent it

and we put the child into her arms She
Rugged 1t fondly to her bosom, and said
in allow voice: "My sweet little Mary :

no, not for the world would we have

had seated ourselves at dinner, an ell

was introduced, and welcomed by Mrs.
Barlow as an cid and valued friend.
