Mrs. MulOch.Craik's Daughter.

The story called king Arthur by
Mrs. Muloch Craik, has particular in
terest attached to it, as the story of a
little baby adopted into a childless
household. The sentences are words
that go directly to woman's heart,
whether on it there has rested little
one of her own or not, for they are
words inspired by absolute feeling, and
not merely rounded phrases. 1 have
been told the story of the child in Mrs.
Craik's household and L tell it as it
was told to me.
In the county in which she lives
there was found on a stone by the way
side girl baby, extremely delicate
looking and beautifully dressed. The
Oh Id was taken TO the Town Hall, and
because of its great beauty and ro-
mantle finding, everybody for miles
around went to see it Among the
visitors were Mrs. Craik and her in
valid husband. Inspired by what the
dear old QuakeIs cali the presence of
the Spirit, tue little baby laughed in
Mrs. Craik's face, and stretched her
arms out to tho loving ones that seemed
to meet her half way. Mrs. Craik took
the child, and she and her husband
have lavished upon it all the love, and
it seems more even, that most people
give to their very own. The girl baby
is now large girl, and while she is
recognized as the daughter of the
house, she has never been deceived as
TO her birth.
Mrs. Craik knew that it would be
told to her some day in heart
less manner, and so wisely concluded
that when she began to understand life
at all she should know, in the way that
love would tell it, how she came to
them. In the broad hallway is the
stone upon which the little girl was
found, and to keep flowers upon this
has been the daily duty of the little
maiden. Her birthday dates from the

That is hardly probable.
But can prove it.
well, 60 ahead"
The man had once traded horses
with the Judge, who wanted very
gentle horse. He highly recommended
the animal, and said he could warrant
it not to kick. The next morning the
Judge went out and found it dead"
Eyes, see."
"The Judge told the man about it,
and he went over and looked at the
horse, and then he tickled its hind legs
with straw, and turned and said /:
Well, calculate that boss is just as
gentle as l said he was; still claim he
won't kick fly. Just bring your chill
dren right out and let 'em play with
him, Judge The Judge chased him
out of the barn with four-tined pitch
fork, but didn't catch him. Shortly
after he got q whack at him on a trial
and sent him up"
"Well, said the Governor, Il think
he must have been prejudiced. I'll
write out pardon for your man. -
