Jjfer mother is said to have been below medium size, and her lather not above it. She was a twin; and both weighed but three and a half rounds. Tier mate did not live. She lias always been an unsually small eat. er and accustomed to labor. Her figure is not erect. Her complexion is fair, her eyes blue, and the very modest and mild expression of her countenance is said to be a true index to her character. She has always shrunk from the presence of strangers, and it is believed could not now be induced to appear in public, but for the poverty timt compels her to overcome her extreme sensitiveness. "YVe are assured that she never, as nurse, takes an infant in her arms, but always holds it in her hand. Placing the head upon the end of her fingers, its feet extend toward the wrist, and with the thumb und little finger elevated, she forms an admirable cradle ; the length of her hand being equal to the whole length of an infant. !5he is unable to pass ordinary doors without stooping a good deal, and it is said that for Convenience* film TJAtmllv mite her thimble nnH other little articles upon the casing over the door, instead of upon any lower object, as a table or desk.?
