WILLING TO HOLD THE BABY.

Mr.. Gilbert Obliged RSmiiing Young Wom-
an, who ut Once Left the Train.
Abraham Gilbert is a worthy citizen
Of tho neighboring village Of Branch
vile. He is married and the father Of q
small family. On Thursday, while re-
turning in the train from Danbury, he
noticed among his fellow passengers a
young and rather attractive woman, APP
~parently a widow, who held in her arms
a handsomely dressed infant about 8
months old.
As the train slowed up for the stop at
Bethel the woman asked Mr.. Gilbert il
he would be so kind as TO hold her baby
while she spoke to a friend who was to
be at the station. Mr.. Gilbert jumped
at the chance, for no is very fond OF
pretty babies, and while the train waited
he handled the youngster IN his knee,
called it a little tootsy wootsy and sad
" disarranged its fine apparel.
The train started, and Mr.. Gilbert pre-
pared to surrender his charge, but the
mother did not appear. Mr.. Gilbert was
certain that she had missed the train by
accident and that she was at that min.
ute fretting herself almost to death about
the child, but the older and more expert
enced travellers smiled grimly and con
cluded hat Mr.. Gilbert was the victim
of an old trick. When the train reached
Branchyille, Mr.. Gilbert tried to get tn
train hands to assume the custody Of tn
child. but they asserted that there wa
nothing in the rules and regulations 0
the road that compelled them to do 50
and nothing remained for Mr.. GLIDER
but to take the baby home and place 1
among his own. He did so, and the Iii

Teapot Collectors.

Tea was not known in England till
the time of Charles ii, but it is inter
esting to trace the gradual increase in
the size of teapots. from the diminutive
productions of tho Elers, in the time
of Queen Anne and George l, when tea
was sold in apothecaries' shops, TO the
capacious vessel which supplied DR..
johnson with "the cup hat cheers but
not inebriates." Mr.. Croker, in his edi-
ton Of "Boswell's Life" mentions a
teapot that belonged to DR.. johnson,
which held two quarts, but this sinks
into insigniicance compared with the
superior magnitude of that in the pos
session Of Mrs. Marrayat Of Wimbledon,
who purchased it at the sale of Mrs.
Piozzi's effects at Streatham. This tea
pot, which was the che originally used
by DR.. johnson, holds more than three
quarts. George ~ had a large assem-
blage of teapots, piled in pyramids in
the pavilion at Brighton. Mrs. EliZ-
abeth Carter was also o collector of tea
pots. Also Mrs. Hawes, who bequeathed
300 specimens to her daughter, Mrs.
Donkin. Among them are several be-
