Chapter I.
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.

The Undersigned would call the attention cf the Ladies of Ornngeburg and Vicinity
to his KEROSENE STOVES
Every housekeeper feels the want of something that will Cook the daily feed, which
will do away with the excessive heat for the Summer Months, of a Cook Stove. You
wish to jF.coiionalme ! It costs you less by one half as much to Cook your food with
a Kerosene Stove as it does by a wood lire, ami again, where Ladies are compelled to do
so much of the cooking themselves to get anything fit to eat, also to avoid the great
trouble we have with servants, Kerosene Stoves ore just the thing, especially for small
Families. They will Cook, Boil, Fry, anil do anything that a Cook Stove will do. Any
Lady can cook on them all day without soiling her Cufls. One trial will convince the
most skeptical.
TO THE JPUBL4IC IN GENERAL.
Al ways on hand, Cook Stoves from the Pest A/anufncturcrs only, Wood and Willow
Ware, Lamps and Crockery, and by far the largest and best stock of rFin WftrG and
House Furnishing Goods in Ornugeburn County. All of which will be sold low for
cash. Call and see for vourselves.
