THE'WAY TO A Fathers HEART.-The

THE'wAY TO Fathers HEART-The fol-
lowing paragraph from an article in the Hsme
Journal, is attributed to "the pen Of some gentle
hearted lady unknown
"One cold winter morning | looked into
millioner's shop, and there saw hale, hearty
well-browned young fellow from the country
with his long cart whip, and lion shag coat
holding up some little matter, and turning il
over in his great fist. And what do you sup
pose it was' A baby's bonnet! A little soft
blue satin hood, with swans down border
white as the frll of rich blonde around the
edge. By his side stood very pretty woman
holding with no small pride, the baby, for evil
IDENTIFY it was the baby. And one could read the
fact in every glance, as they looked a, each
other, and at the little hood, and then at the
large, blue, unconscious eye, and fat, dmpled
cheeks Of the little one. 1t was evident thai
neither Of them had ever seen a baby like thai
before! 'But really, Mary, said the young
man, lis not three dollars very high?' Mary
very prudently said nothing, but quietly taking
up the hood, she tied it on the little head, and
held up the baby. The man grinned, and with.
out another word, down went the three dollars
(all the last weeks butter came to,) and as they
walked out Of the shop it is hard to say which
looked the most delighted with the bargain

SEARCHING FOR A LOST CHILD.

lhe Mount Pleasant (lowa) papers give long
accounts of search for a lost child, which rec
emily took place in that county. 1t is stated,
that during meeting in Salem, word was
brought that the child Of Mr. and Mrs Beach,
who live two miles south of Hillsborough, and
had been lost the evening before, and was then
missing. "The child must be looked afler,'
was the ready response of every one; and forth
with forty or fifty persons were ready for the
search, and on the way TO Mr.. BEAcHs There
they learned that one hundred persons had been
out all day, in an Intellectual search Arrange.
ments were made for an early commencement
of the hunt next morning and, long before
day, the tolling of the Seminary bell warned
the people uf their neighbors in sore distress.
There were many sleepless eyes that night,
and early dawn found hundreds of people, Of all
classes, on the alert. The girl was about FIVE
child, had gone to neighbors house on Friday
afternoon. On their return, end when within a
quarter of a mile of home, and within fifty
steps OF neighbors house, she was observed
to climb garden fence, and fingered behind,
while her companions went home and reported
that their sister would be along soon. That was
the last seen Of her. On Sunday, as we have
stated, the general search was commenced A
line was formed with men but ten feet apart,
| and woodland and prairie searched by more than
five hundred men, but not trace OF the lost one
could be found. But they did not despair
They resolved 10 continue the search on Mon
day morning with increased numbers Monday
came, and the country for miles around was
hunted over, and still without success-A gain
they resolved to devote themselves to the work
next day. Tuesday found these good neishbors
again at their task. hallow square was form
ed from five to six miles in diameter, making
Mr.. BEACH $ house the centre Of the square,
and up to twelve o'clock there was no tidings Of
the lost one But then, when two miles from
BEAcH's, and exactly opposite from where it
had last been seen, in an almost impenetrable
thickst, Mr.. F. A. M Elroy, of Salem, was the
first to catch glimpse of the childs dress as i,

ted flight and resistance, he held the child in
his arms.-Sne was found near pool Of water,
where she had passed the night. Being asked
how she slept at night she replied, 81 Just slept
on the ground without anything to cover with.
She was very much reduced, and had a vacan,
look in her eyes. For four days she had been
without anything to eat. Hundreds of people
assembled, as the news spread, at the house
and the feeling and excitement was intense to
see the lost one who had been thus provdenti-
ally restored to her parents. Rev. Joseph Coo

great kindness, and then they separated MO
