mediatelJ refined up his horse, aud getting
cut ct his vehicle commenced search, and
following the direction frsm which the sound
proceeded, in shert time discovered q
ysung and beautiful woman lying on the
ground and apparently suffering great phys
zeal agony. A msmeat's glance revealed
the fact that she had just given birth to an
infant, and there pressed to her bosom, and
wrapped il its mothers tatterea dress which
she had tora from her person to protect her
tender offspring, lay smiling babe Her
stery was seen told, for heweyer much she
had been wronged, With that true instinct Of
Wsmanly virtse, she kept within her swn
bossm. A stranger in the city, without
frieads and NithOut.a home, she sought ia
conc al her shame, and IN the sacred pre-.
cinets Of the cemetery, amid darkness and
surrounded BY the desclGtion Of the dead
her infant drew its frs. breath under the
very shadow Of the temh.
What an illustration Of life have We Prob

weak wanderer Charity might well sto5

that expressive word Of violated innoceace
had probably driven her from her heme and
all the endearmsnts Of the sesiai relatiet
been severed to hide her shame aud anotii

The mother and the infant were taken il

found them, and taken to his ewn home
where they were properly taken care Off
The unfortunate creature stated that slIl
was from the State of New York, but d.
clined to give her name, She subsequently
gave one BY which she might be called, bdi
which is certainly a fictitious one.
