Lt was a few days before Thanks . giving, when farmer Melton's wagon ?tood ready loaded, before his door. 'Do hurry Lydio,' said the farmer, 'we have fifteen miles to go, and the horses are as impatient as I am.' 'You need not hurry me bo Joseph,' replied his wife, as she made her ap- J pearanee with basket, bag, and J bundle. 'What on earth are you going to do with all those things?' 'I am going to take them to those who need them,' said Mrs. Melton. 'They are for old Mrs. Jenkins, and cousl? Kate's family. I could not en joy Thanksgiving, if I did not know they had something good to eat.' 'I think you have a good supply/ said Mr. Melton. 'Shame on you Joseph, to grudge thoso poor creatures the little I take them!' 'Oh! they are welcome to it, only it seems to me, you arc always giving away something.' 'Wei! you do not feel the loss, so you need not grumble.' 'Come, get up,1 Raid the farmer, ^and let's start, I know we shall be in the night getting back.' 'That will make no difference,' said Mrs. Melton, 'we shall have moon light,' and she fixed herself comfort able, and drew a blanket over their laps. The air was cool and frosty, and the sun was just sending its rays over the tree tops. The farm produce was to be sold in Boston, and Thnnkgiving supplies purchased. Mrs. Melton had some visiting to do, besides delivering the articles she had brought, and it was late when they started back. 'We are going to have real winter weather.' said Mrs. Melton, 'and I am sorry for cousin Kate. I do not think sin; is able to keep up a good lire. I asked her for one of her little girls, but she said she could not spare either.' ?What do you want with a child?1 asked Mr. Melton. 'I would like so much to have a little girl to take care of, and I thought 1 would be helping her.1 'I wonder what you will want next! If you lived in Boston, you would be going into all the obscure streets, looking up the poor and needy,' 'Nothing would give me greater pleasure,' said Mrs. Melton, 'than to have the means to help the Lord's poor.' Mrs. Melton was a philanthropist, although she scarcely understood the meaning of the word. She was al ways seeking an opportunity to do good, and a won! of comfort was al ways ready for the distressed and un fortunate. Twilight had deepened into night, and the moon was Hooding the earth with her beams, when Mrs. Melton noticed something lying under n treu by the roadside. 'What do you think that is?' she asked. 'It looks like ;i bundle, or it may be a stray sheep, ami if it is, you Surely do not want to adopt it.' said Mr. Melt 'Oh! do stop .Joseph! I shall be miserable if I do not lind out what it is.' The horses were reined in. and Mrs. Melton descended. She appro ached the object cautiously, and then uttered an exclamation of surprise. 'What have you found':' asked her husband. 'A child, Joseph, a poor little child asleep. We cannot leave it here, we must take it with us.' 'Wake up my dear,' said the good woman, gently raising the child's bead. The little one sat up, and looked around in a bewildered manner. 'Whose child are you?' asked Mrs. Melton. 'I am nobody's child now, ma'am, for mother is dead,' and she sobbed violently. 'Who takes care of you?' 'Nobody, ma'am.' 'How did you come here? and where is your father?' 'Father has been dead a longtime, and I was looking for the Orphan Asylum, but I could not find it, ami I don't know where to go.' ?Well, tell me your name.' 'Nannie, ma'am. Nannie Adams.' 'Well, Lydia, it seems like you have got your wish, so bring the child along, ami we will take her home.' When the child arose, Mrs. Melton saw she was comfortably clad, her cloak was thick ami warm, ami she had a white bundle under her head. Taking this up she led her to the wagon. 'There now,' said Mrs. Melton, 'sit right between us, and keep warm.1 She supported the child's head on her arm, and very soon the little wanderer was asleep. 'It is our duty to lind out some thing about this child,1 said Mr. Mel ton. 'If she has no relatives, there surely must be some friend interest ed enough to take her to the Orphan Asylum, mid not send her alone. I will question her to-morrow, ami Hud out if it will be right for us to keep her.' When they arrived at home, a young man en me out to meet them. 'Why mother!1 he exelnlmed, 'what have y< u gol ht re?' 'A little girl wo found, but don't wait for explanations; take her into the house very carefully, aud lay her on the lounge.1 They were soon assembled in the comfortable sitting room.' The child had waked, and was quietly looking around. Mrs. Melton approached with a ctip of tea, 'drink this Nannie,' she said, 'it will warm you.' 'Thank you ma'am,' said the child. 'Did you have dinner to-day? ask ed .Mrs." Melton. 'No ma'am,1 replied Nannie. 4I only had a piece of bread, which ."Mrs. Bolton gave me, when I was leaving the house' 'Poor little dear! you shall never want another dinner, as long as I have one to give you.' A couch was prepared for Nannie, and very soon, all her troubles were forgot ten in sleep. When Mrs. Melton returned toiler husband and son, she remarked, 'that is no common child; she is its fair as a lily, and has a gold chain with a locket around her neck. I thought, she did not care for me to see it, so I made no remark about it.' 'I think mother,1 said Daniel, 'Ihe fairies must, have put the child where you could liinl her.1 'No my son, not the fairies, but the good Lord placed her there, because he knew, I would be good to her.' Before Mrs. Melton retired, she stood beside the little one. Her complexion was delicately white, and her hair in auburn ringlets, her shapely hands and everything nhotil her, showed that she had been tender ly nurtured. f To ItK COJiTIXCKO. ] HE EESX VEQSTABLE MEDICINE iiaob. ill The niont certain incilldin' lonm ??ill ?MKi--;.-?-a r,f tlio l)lofxl,siicl..tsScKJ> ?iIi?, ithounmtlsin, Suit liltciim,TottiY, rt.nptxs, Itrli.
