The Bishop and the Baby.

There are many stories current about
the late Bishop Selwyn, and all tend in
the same direction. Here is one |
heard some years ago from his own lips
1t was simply told in illustration of the
possibility of naturally helpless man
overcoming the difficulty of suddenly
finding himself placed in charge OF
young children. During one Of his e1-
petitions along the coast of New Zea-
land DR.. Selwyn had given a passage to
a woman who had with her baby Just
weaned. The voyage was rough, and
she became absolutely PROSTATE with
sea-sickness. The baby remained pre-
ternaturally lively, and the question
what to do with it became one OF serl-
Gus concern for the officers and crew.
DR.. Selwyn solved the difficulty by TAX
ing the child under his own care. There
was an apprentice on board who took
naturally to children, and he was IN
stalled as under-nurse. "The voyage
lasted eleven days." the Bishop sald'
"during which time the mother was
wholly incapable of doing any thing
l had not much idea what to do WIN
the baby, but with the assistance Oh
Tom we got along splendidly, and at
the end of our voyage our chief difficult
ty was to get the baby to 60 back to Us
