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."
