A BATS Lore for q Child.

There is in Whitehall village d family
who have little daughter two years and
half old who has formed singular at
tachment for rat. Every day this little
one goes into the wood-shed adjoining the
house, where large, venerable-looking
rat makes its appearance, when the inno
cent looking child proceeds to feed it from
her chubby hand. The parents have
caught their little one feeding its protege
several times of late, yet on the approach
of any other than the little girl the rat
scampers off to its hole. Several efforts
have been made by the child's parents to
despatch the singular companion of their
darling, for it was feared the child may get
bitten by it. Last Sunday the rat showed
its affection and guardian care of the little
ones comfort, as the following will show
The child's mother put it to sleep in its
cradle in the kitchen, going to another
room in the house, leaving the sleeping
child alone: On her return she cast her
eye at the child, when she was surprised
to observe the rat standing perched upon
the top of the cradle, moving its tail over
see what the ''varuit was up to-" stood
and watched its movements; peeping thro'
the door, which was only partly opened.
She observed a number of flies above the
child's face, when two lit on the little one,
whereat the kind rat whisked them off
with its tail. Wishing to make sure, the
lady quietly called her husband, and the
two stood watching the proceedings at
least ten minutes.
Every time fly dared to light on the
little ones face that old rats friendly tail
wonld brush it away, like the guardian
angel lowering about us, who, we believe,
is constantly brushing away dangers that
threaten us poor mortals. 1t was thought
safe by the childs parents to leave the
child in charge of its singular nurse, and
for one hour the little one slept. When
it awoke its mother went to take it UP, and
the rat jumped from the cradle and sped
away through the half-opened door to the
wood-shed. Since that time the child has
been put to sleep in the kitchen to ascer-
tain if the experiment would be repeated.
Each time when left alone, with the shed
door partially open, the old rat would en-
ter and take up its position over the top of
GIro CrBaIe, watching the little sleeper, and
brushing away the flies who dared to trou-
BILE its precious charge.-N. Y. Times.

IT is not generally known that among
the many other interesting incidents in
the life of President Andrew jackson he
was twice married to the same woman, a
former Mrs. Rachel Robards, daughter of
Mrs. Donelson; the widow of Col. John
Donelson, an emigrant from Virginia to
Tennessee. On account of the dissolute
habits of her husbands Captain Robards,
application was made to the Legislature
of Virginia for divorce, and soon after
intelligence was received that the petition
had been granted. Supposing she was
freed from marital relations, Mrs. RobaTds
and Gen. Jackson were married in Match
ez, in 1891. In December, 1793 it was
ascertained that the proceeding in the Vir-
ginia Legislature was simply an authorize
tion for a suit for divorce to be entered
in Kentucky Court, and this suit had
just been brought to a successful issue.
Much chagrined, but determined to be
honorable and correct Jackson, on his re-
turn to Nashville in January, 1874, took
out a license, and was again married.

A MoRA1 POINTED WITH THISTLE
SEEDs.-A story is told of woman who
freely used her tongue to the scandal OF
others; and made confession to a priest
of what she had done. He gave her ripe
thistle-top, and told her to so out in valf-
GUS directions and scatter the seeds, one
by one. Wondering at the penance, she
obeyed, and then returned and told her
confessor. To her amazement, he bade
her 90 back and gather the scattered seeds;
and when she objected that it would be
impossible, he replied that it would be
still more difficult to gather up and destroy
all evil reports which she had circulated
about others.
