"A little child shall lead them"
One cold market morning, / looked into
a milliner's shop, and there I saw a hale,
hearty, well.browned young fellow from the
country, with his long cart whip, and lion
shay coat, holding up some little matter.
and turning it about on his great fist. And
what do you suppose it was? A babu's
bonnet! A little soft, blue, satin hood, with
a swans down border, white as the new
fallen snow, with a frill ofrich blonde around
the edge.
by his side stood a very pretty WOMAN
holding with no small pride the baby-for
evidently it was the baby. ANY one could
read that fact in every glance, as they lock.

were several members Of Col. Bcnton'a

II is therefore opposed by the defendant to
prove this fact by Mrs. Linn, whose hus.

Of the lady precious to her marriage with

Gen. Thompson took the position that
the defence hadno legal right to call in

but waived the advantages that the exclu,
sion of such evidnce might give to the
prosecution.
