Of this city. Mrs. Joseph went to New
Orleans in February last. and at her
earnest solicitation aud the intoroes-

placed in its adopted mothers arms.
She brought it to her husbands home
in this city and nurscd it with tho
tondcr,.loving indness of mother,
but, like the sweetest flower, it was
destined to fade in the short spring of
life. From the time the little one ar
rived in the city the community felt u
deep interest and was in full sympathy
with the parents in the anxiety for its
welfare. Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph had
learned to lovo it with parental affec-

could have cherished the child moro
