ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
THE OLD BACHELOR.

On q farm one mile from the town
of Enosburg there lived an old bach
elor whose name was Mr.. Henderson.
He lived there all alone Mrs. Bradley,
a poor lady who had two children and
herself to support, as her husband was
dead. She took in washings for her
living and haa always done Mr.. Hen
derson's waJhing.
One evening after Mrs. Bradley had
finished washing her supper dishes,
she started to take Mr.. Hende-son's
clothes to him. Harry, her eldest son,
saw her going out of the front gate
with them and ran and took them
from her and told her she had better
go to the house and rest after her hard
days work.
Harry took the clothes to Mr.. Hem
derson, who told him to set them in
the library. He gladly obeyed as they
seemed unusually heavy After Harry
left, Mr.. Henderson went to the IL
brary to read his papers, when he
heard strange noise. After looking
all over the room to locate the sound
he thought it came from the clothes
basket. So he lifted the lid and looked
in surprise as he saw Mrs. Bradley's
little baby girl lying sound asleep in
his clothes basket.
The baby Weakened up In a few min
utes and Mr.. Henderson began ques-
tioning her. She only clapped her
hands in glee and said she was hiding
from mamma, had gone to sleep and
her brother had carried her away,
thinking the clothes were rather
heavy.
Mrs. Bradley was very much fright
ened when she could not find her baby,
and was looking every where for it,
calling Oracle! Oracle! Oracle! when
Mr. Henderson came carrying her
back. Mrs. Bradley was very glad to
see her girl again, and was careful
thereafter to keep her eyes on her
when the clothes We're sent away.
