LOST CHILDREN.
On the last day Of May 1850, kezi-
ali aged Z, and Betsy 4 years OF age,
daughters Of Eldad Taylor, living in
Sunderland, Bennington county Ner-
mont. went Into the woods abouG ono
o'clock in the afternoon. After wan
dering about an hour, they found they
were lost. Their parents became a
harmed about two or three hours after
wards. and several Of their neishbors-
searched all night by torch light.
The second day the people collected
from the adjoining towns, under the
direction Of Colonel Ethan Allen, a
revolutionary officer, who was deter
mined to lind them, or look for them
until he died. They were to advance
at arms length from each other in a
line. keeping the rank-carefully
searching as they proceeded-no guns
to be fired at game Of any kind, orion
any other occasion, except as a signal,
when the children should be found.
Several parties encam2ed in the woods
and staid through the second night.
The country for a great distance was
in agitation and, ON the third day,
people came from the borders Of New
York, until it was believed by these
now living, who we're present, that the
number amounted to six or seven hun
dred. o.: the third day at five clock
p. NJ. nearly the whole company came
ln-faint weary and hungry. They
seemed to be discouraged and several
were about to withiEaw. At t..a; cri-
tea! moment Colonel Allen asccoded
a stump. and in voice rs loud as w;,en
he summoned the commander Of Fort
Tioonderoga to surrender, he CON-,
handed attention.
The people attended, and he adj
dressed them in the most earnest mar
ner-pointed to the afflicted and agon-
lied parents, who stood near him
begged every man to make the case
his own, and ask himself il the chill
dren we're his, whether he could go
off without making one more effort to
find them. The tears fell fast from
his cheeks, and il is believed there
we're but few, If any, dry eyes in that
Of 700 men. "l'll co.
I'll go, was heard from every quarter
ofthe crowd. They took to the woods
with fresh courage, and before the sun
went down, the signal gun was fired.
The children were found, and found
alive.
The children were soon brought in,
and the company returned to the house
OF the parents. The Colonel again as-
cended the stump, thanked the people
very handsomely on behalf Of the pa
rents for their kindness so long contin-
ued, and thanked God most heartily
for their success. The people then
peaceably to their homes.-~

Reflections on the a5eoc ,sorratiuc.--
Who does not admire the humane and
efforts Of these benevolent
citizens Of Vermont, in restoring to
their bereaved parents, the children
whom they had desPaired ofever see
ing--and what Joy must have been aft
forded in after life to the actors in this
in revolving the success Of
their exertions! Think ofsix or sever
hundred men symPath,zing with the
afflicted parents-passing day after
day in the Parsuit--enduring priva-
tons ONO ordinary kind; and, when
exhausted with hunger and fatigue,
again cheered and re eliminated in the
noble work by the veteran philanthro-
pist! And what was the object Of al
this Christian ardor and benevolent ex-
ertion? the restoring Of two lost ciitv.
3ren to their d,sconsolate parents.
There are At this very moment,
thousands Of children in these United
States, in a situation demanding The
