She was obliged, says the Christian Union,
to write for he daily bread, n that she
might forget how miserable she was she
wrote a great deal. OF course with all this
practice and with her vast experience in sor-
row, for her pen was one actually dipped in
tears, she wrote better aaA better, TIL finally
this retiring, griefstficken woman awoke 70
find herself famot,s. Her first novel, "The
Ogilvies,'' was very successful, and was pub
lished in lS49, when Miss Mulock was only
twenty-three but her great masterpiece,
"John Halifax, Gentleman," did not appear
until 1857. In 1864 a pension Of EGO . year
was awarded to Miss Mulock. Allthis fame
and unqualified success doubtless assuaged
her grief and helped TO make life cndurable,
but to one with such a loving heart and such
quick sympathies, bereft of a home and with
out a relation, her life was very sad dlone-
~. But in 1866 Captain George Lille Craik,
an officer in the English army, who had been
in the Crimea, met Miss Mulock, and al
though some years her junior, addressed her
and succeeded in winning her hand. They
have proved most congenial companions, and
their married life has been all that they could
wish, with but one exception. The woman
whose love for children amounts almost To-
passion, who wrote " Philip, Ny King" has
been denied the happiness of feeling baby
fingers upon her cheeks or CT ever hearing
herself called mother. This is a severe sor-
row, but even this pain has been partially as
suaged. Strangely enough, one dark, rainy
night, while she and her husband were
speaking of children and of the joy and
brightness they bring TO so many dwellings,
there came a loud ring at the bell and then a
furious knnch.ns. On opening the door, ly-
ing upon the sill. they found a basket en-
closed in many wrappings When they were
removed they discovered a little baby only a
few hours ole. The child was wrapped in
one roll after another of India muslin, and
on its breast was pinned q note begging Mrs.
Craik to be kind to the little waif thus
brought to ieg door, aud assuring her that
no mean blood lowed in its veins. Tender
ly she lifted She lEs.1' tt;rG in her arms; and
her heart opened IS WaiulY to take i'll the
poor little t~l~serto-} ,rratUr2. They called
the child Dorothe&, Go1-aiven, and she is
now their legally-adopted daughter, whom
no one can take from them, not even the par
ents who SO cruelty deserted her. The little
girl is most tendcrly attached TO the only
mother and father she has ever known. Mrs.
Craik's happy home is in the vicinity OF
Richmond. Let us hope that she has left her
sorrows all behind her, and that while she
lives no pain or Grief shall again cross her
peaceful path.

Give tfse Boys Tools.

Mothers teach their daughters from the
earliest days to keep house, tend dolls, re-
ceive miniature guests at miniature tables, 10
drink miniature tea, and pefpetratc miniature
chat. Why is the boy deprived of his work
shop, counting-room and state house, ortheir
equivalents ? Pens and paper, needles, scis-
sors and thread coax the embryo women to
activity. Why should the embryo man be
left to the flies and molasses cup or the Kettle
stea,ning on the stove, and be called a fool
besides. Get him a box of tools it may be
full of hints to you. A gimlet won't bore at
the handle, Of course, but it will do far more
to fathom a boys nature than rods of birch or
rattan, ior hard names and dependency.

do something but don't know how.

4'aEe Descsnt ar Washington.

The descent Of Washington is now a ques.
ton OF some historical interest. The IasL
number of HC fG''s MaqC.iae contains an
article tracing his family ba,k to Sir John
the brother of Sir William Washington, who
4narried a sister Of George Villers, the Duke
OF Buckingham. But this pedigree las been
amply reflted by Col. Chester. Another ar
ticie in tie Magazine Of d. ,cr icda History
gives the pedigIrt oi the Dutch branch of the
family, which was established at Rotterdam
about 1850, when the first Washington came
TO Virginia. One brother it seems went to
Holland, while the other came to America,
the object Of both being the same, to escape
the dangers and perplexities OF the civil war
in England. The line of this Dutch family
is unbroken, and the pedigree is authentic.
1t ends in a Bayarian Baron Washington,
who in 1866, married Frederick, Duchess of
OldeEburg. A correspondent of the SPRING
field Republican, who writes on this subject
with much knowledge and spirit, says: some
thing is plain enough, through all this genoa
logical uiuddie, that the Virginia Washing
tons belonged to the English gentry, and not
like Franklin's and Shakespeare's ancestors,
70 the yeomanry.n We might have inferred
Is much from tile grand words and imposing,
not to say pompous, manne Of the Father
Of His Country. He was always distinguish
eAlsr his aristocratic tastes.

Pine Ridge Dakota, cor. Sioux City Journal.
Little-Big-Man, formerly a northern Sioux,
belonging to Crozy Horses band, came rush
ing into the agency yesterday, his horse run
ming at full speed, and he singing a "war-
path" song, in a nude condition, the blood
streaming down his legs, and very much ex-
cited. He jumped from his pony and ran in
to the agents office and asked for a gun. On
being informed that he could not have a gun,
he Stamped the floor, pulled his hair and
cried, and being covered all over with blood,
a more CHASTITY and tierce-looklng savage was
probably never seen in the country. He
tried to scratch a match w%rong-end up, and
smoked the bowl of his pipe instead of the
stem. The interpreter having arrived, he
stated in a frantic manner that his little girl
his only child-had caught her dress on
fire a few hours before and had burned to
death. The physician, in company with Col.
O'Bierne, Mr.. Mou and the Interpreter, pro-
ceeded at once to the camp, seven miles
a clean calico, amusing itself by playing with
a wax doll baby and eating stringed dried
apples. The doctor found quite an extern.
sive burn on her right leg and also on the
right side of her body, but thinks her inju-
ries are not of a serious nature. 1t seems
that before the women found out how bad
the child was burned they informed the Lit
tie DIg-Man that she was burned up beyond
all hope Of recovery, w~hereupon the chief be-
gan stabbing himself, infictitg se"eral deep
wounds, and would undoubtedly have killed
himself had it not been for other Indians
taking the knife away from him.
