[Written for the Orange-burg Times.] NANNIE. Ill' lit Til GOO?I.KY. ( 'UAPTF.lt III. Nunnio noticed bcr mother's tic prbssion, nntl . proposed, to remain from school. lYou arc very lonely now mother,' she said, 'I will bu company for you, and i eau help you in a great many ?ways.' Mi's. Adams became an invalid, sind was forced to draw from her small capital. Nannie was the only one to attend to her wants, until .Mrs. bollon, a kind-hearted woman, w ho occupied the lirst lloor, discovered the state of affairs, and came every day to min ister to her comfort. It was lo her, that Mrs. Adams 'give directions about what should be done, if she should pass away before M i s. Blake's rel urn.' A cool November day was drawing to a close, when .Mrs. Adaius, 'culled Na??io.' 'Sit near medear,' she said, 'I want to talk to you about yourself. Von arc old enough, to understand all 1 will say to you. I have loved you very dearly, but I am"?she was tak en with a lit of coughing, and a hem orrhage followed. She never spoke agaiu. Nannie's screams for help brought in a Mrs. Giles, an old woman w ho occupied a room in the house. Other belli soon came, and :i physician was summoned, but every effort was vain. The last sands of lite were last run ning out, aud when the morning dawned, the weary one was at rest. Mrs. bolton tried to comfort the heart-broken child, and after making all the necessary arrangements in the room, her duty called her to a sick daughter. Mrs. Giles volunteered to remain. Nunnio could not be per sitadcd to leave t he r< n an. 'The holy shall have :i ih'COUl burial,' said Mr. Uollon, *and I will superintend it myself.-1 ll was thought best that Nannie should not accompany the body to the grave, where i he son ice would be read. She citing to t he eoflin and 'begged to be allowed logo.1 .Mrs. Ilolton gently disengaged her clasp, aud Laid her fainting on a lounge. When Nannie recovered her con seiousncss, .Mrs. Giles was making a bundle of Mrs. Adams1 clothing ami such articles as si: felt inclined to appropriate to her own use. 'What nre you doing with m\ mother's things?' she asked. 'I have a right to them,1 s.-nd the old woman. 'Didn't I sit up with her all night? and didn't 1 help to lay her out? Kvery nurse is entil ed to her pa}'.' 'You shall not tstke those things,1 said Nannie, rising, and advancing toward Hie woman. 'Now look here young one. I might as well talk plainly to you at once. You and your inn, have been carrying high heads, and thinking yourselves better than the rest of us, but that is all over now. You area beggar,and will have no further use for v our line clothes. You will have logo with the orphans.' I;he directed her when to (lud the asylum. 'Now put on your cloak and hat,1 she said, 'and take yourself oil','and taking the child by the shoulder pushed her toward the door. She seemed to take :t second t bought, and ordered her lo remain where she was, until she took the bundle up to her room, and then she said,'I think. I know a woman who will hire you for a nurse, and I will take you lo her.1 As soon as Nannie Was a lone, she seized a pillow-ease, and putting into it. n few articles of clothing and n pastboard box, left the room a: quick ly as possible. As she passed Mrs. liolton's door, the good woman hand cd her :i piece of bread, and before she could ask a question, Nannie had disappeared. .Mrs. Giles saw her pass through the door. She endeavored to over take her, but terror added speed lo her footsteps, and after following her n few squares, was compelled 16give ii]> the pursuit. Nannie thought, if she could reach the asylum she would be safe from Mrs. Giles, but in her fright, she took ft wrong course, and after a time found herself on n road leading into the country. She continued walking on slow ly, mid w hen night approach cd, weary and exhausted, she laid her Self down under a tree, with the cold earth for ii boil and the starry eanop> of heaven Ibra coverlet, ll was here Hint Mrs. .Mellon found her. With ninny tears, Nannie related to Mrs. Melton the particulars of her mother's sickness, death, und Ihe occurrences afterwards. Then she gave an account of her life, far back as she could remember, 'Have you a likeness of your moth crV' 'No ma'am, I was so much afraid, that had woman would come buck be fore I got away. I did not got her like ncss, but I have my lather's. Mother always told me to keep it out ofsighl; she was so much afraid, it might be taken from me, ami she said, it mighl In* valuable to mo nl soino future lime. You nre so good mn'aui 1 am sure yon would not take it from 11.1c1 ?No iuv dear, you need have no fears, (hat I should deprive you of if.1 Nunnio lin n produced the lOckel 11 ttached to ihe chain which Mis. Melion had keen around her neck. 'You rosetnbh} this gentleman Nannie, but not very much.' ?Oli! ma'am, I could never be as handsome as he was!' 'I will show you a little dress which I wore when I was three or four years old,' and she opened the box which she had brought away with her. The dress was of white lawn richly embroidered. 'Mother told me 1 must keep it very care fully, und 1 remembered to take it.' *I low old :iic you now Nannie?' ?I w;is seven years old on the LOth of last A nullst.' Thanksgiving was over and.Mr. Mellon intended going to Boston, but ii snow storm delayed him two weeks. Lie had no ditllculty in Unding the house from Nannie's direction. Mr. Holloa corroborated her state ment, mid wins surprised, to hear, she was with the farmer. Mrs. Giles, i ild us, 'she went to the Orphan Asylum with her,' she said, 'aml when Mrs. Blake came the next day, she was satislicd that the child was where her mother wished her, and she thought, it. best, hot to see her :tt t u:i J I i me." 'Now,' said M r. Mellon, after he had related all he had heard, 'the matter is settled, and we can keep Nannie for our own." I to iik continued. ] ~ LIVERY-" AND BUM STABLES!
