A WAIF.
WARWICK,
Prime Minister.

About II o'clock last Sunday night
Mr.. Green Watkins was awakened by the
continual barking of his dog, and upon
going to the front door to ascertain the
cause of the alarm. he discovered small
white object lying on the gallery, which
proved to be newborn babe, wrapped
up in sheet. He carefully picked the
little thing up and took it in the house,
where his wife kindly cared for it It is
a white girl baby, and was thoroughly
chilled from lying in the cold night air.
Those who have seen it pronounce it q
beautiful babe, and express wonder that
it survived the exposure to which it was
subjected by its unnatural mother. 1t
was the intention of Mr.. Watkins to keep
and raise the child, having no children
of his own; but being colored man, and
the child white, he concluded that its
future welfare demanded that it should
be raised by white people. For this pur-
pose his wife took it to the city last
Wednesday, in order to place it in some
Asylum where it would be properly cared
for. The fact as to who is the heartless
and cruel mother of this child of misfor-
tune, still remains a mystery.

FACTS.

Those contemplating a trip westward
will certainly do well to carefully con.
suit the time tables OF the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to Insure aomfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change Of
cars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
but a single change of cars to Iowa
Kansss, Nebraska, Texas. Minnesota
etc. No other line can offer such advan-
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-Is
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this. and in the end may lead
to tie saving of much Of both as We as
money. Above all things do not pur.

EF FCombination sale locks may be
very good thing, but sometimes they
are little puzzling. Take for instance
a vault lock belonging to the Wayne
County Bank at Wooster. Ohio. The
officials forgot the combination and were
for nearly two months unable to get a,
$4,000 too Sc securely locked up. Pres.
emily stranger came to the town and
volunteered his services so remove the
difficulty. What must lave been the
surprise Of the officers of the bank when
the newcomer mastered the lock in 9
few moments. Now, it woull, in the
frat place, be of interest to know the
profession of the stranger, and in the
second to discover whether all combna
lion locRs cannot be as readily opened il

Years Of fighting with old Mother Brown;
Stocking to darn and bread to bake,
Dishes to wash and dresses to make.
But then the music of pattering feot,
Grandpa's kisses so fond and sweet;
Song and prattle the livelong day,
Joy and kisses and love alway.

And gazes down at her wedding ring;
And still she smiles as she drops tear,

"The fact is, the Army Of the Poto-

ling that calls for the unqualified admit
ration of the student OF military history.
Grants grim game Of pounding one ar
my relentlessly with another, until the
smaller was beaten into the bloody mire,
brought the end, but the country early
in the war would have stood aghsst at
such hideous butchers bills. There had
to be education in the horrors of war.

blame for all the lessons taught in his

A Big success.

"Mv wife had been a!ling long time
with dyspepsia and nervousness and was
in bed two years with a complication Of
disorders her physicians could not cure,
when ] was led by reading a circular
left at my door to try Parker's Ginger
Tonic. Having been so often deceived
by worthless mixtures, nothing but my
wfe's dangerous condition could have
led us to make any more experiments.
But it was big success. Three hotties
cured her, at a cost OF dollar and ilfty
cents, and she is now as strong as any
woman, and regularly does her house
hold duties.-R. D., Buffalo. See other
