 We copy the following remarkable and affecting narrative from the Southern Chris tan Advocate, 10 which journal Il was conl- munleaied by the father of the ctlld, the Rev samuel Lean', fastol ui the Cumberland lAleth 1dist Episeofal) Church, ill Charles toa, 5. C.:
 On Thursday, l2tli of February, my little daughter, Susan hI. M Leart, aged thlee years, was playing in the yard near the house ol her grandfather, and as Il was no unusual thing for her 10 play about the premises ia open weathef her temporary absence from within the enclosure Uccasloned no alarm Within twenty minutes ol the llue when Iast seen by one ol her auHts, she was called by some member of the family, and |, thelr great dlsmay wns nol to be found. lmmedI- ate search Was made around tde yard and lot, but all 10 no purpose. < llttlo colored glt, o near the same age with herself, was also missing, and Was seen i'll company with liltle Susan, about thirty yards from the fence, when they were last observed by the family. Whether the children wandered off yolun- arlly, or were taken away by some mali cious person, Is shrouded in the most pro- found mystery. The grandfather mounted his horse, and male immediate search in the surrounding Woods for some hours, but without success Evening was now ap- preaching, aud the family, ggouized at Inc prospect of the children continuing in tic woods through the darkness and iuclemency ol the night, summoned the neghhois lo their assistance. The country was secured for some distance around. fires lightened up in different directions and every possible effort made to attract the children's attention, but they were neither heard nor seen. The night rollcd heavily onward, and the nor nlng light only brought the sad intelligence 10 the hcart-broken grandparents, that the children were not found.
 l. will be remembered that the night ol the 18th inst. was among the most indictment of tie season the ram poured down in tor rents, and the wind was blowing almost a gale. Where the poor little creatures found shelter, what shru6befy protected, or what stone plloWed their little heads, or how they were sustained under the meieiless peliings of the ruthless storm, God, their heavenly father, enIy knows. We maybe allowed 10 believe that ..Fhe angel of the Lord,n which .encampelh round about them that fear him." delivered them. How much they suffered in their exposed situation must be left for the day of eternity to reveal During the following day Saturday. unceaslng search was made and about dark the body of tie iltle negress Was found k(eteSs, but not stlli. She had apparently just died.
 This quiekeued ttie energies Of lhe friends and neighbors, aad dlilgent search was made during that night a the neighborhood of the little uegress, but though every Lay was penetrated, and almost every log turned over still discovered 10 signs of lltle Susan Sabbath morning now dawned, but not with is wonled peaee and tranquility; all Was gloom and melancholy. Be.wcen the hours of ten and eleven n the morning, as a young man, William Tobias, wts searching near bay, around which the uldergrowth hat formed an almost impcnetlaoie thicket, ht I.obServed something move near the waters edge, and g0ilg closer to examine, he heard llle voice addressing him thus: ''Please take me out of the water. ] want to go 10 grandpa's. want some tea It Was the form and voice of my dear Iliile Susan winch he saw and heard
 She was lying prostrate on the leaves and moss, one foot n the water; her bonne' thrown back, and her clothing completely ; drenched utIi the rain. The young mar thinks it. probable that had she not spokei to him he would have passed without diseov ering her, so thick and matted was tht shrubbery around her.
