DOT'S BABY
-o--
MONTROSE, PA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22 1873.
I was made-quite miserable by Dot's hap
piness, as reflected in= her letters. Ah,
these girls holt' .contidently, with what
utter hilarity do they the from dear old
hearthstone, lured itway by the might of
that strange, potent• necromancer. who
holds such a tnl►ryelons lien upon all he
man hearts)
By and by I had a letter from Dot, beg
ging me to caste. to her, and lying perdu
in the little rate-canted note was the moat
exquisite secret in the world. I wept at
mum, and berate I had been many weeks
in ,Dot's hinnwall the world—our world—
knew our. secret. -There was a day and
a night of awful suspense, and the stare
in their - noursesseemed to stand still, and
all the great round earth to tremble and
quiver in mute, breathless expectation.—
Then In the hush of the morning. a new
little life began, and we laughed and cried
over each other, praised God's goodness.
•It was ftmay to seo Harry. He had
been lifted in.a moment from the ,valley
of despair to the sunlight heights of hope
and the poor fellow was dazed. He stood
leaning Over :where she lay, like a wilted
lily, but with. ll4ven shinning in her
eves!" • t.
, foh, llarrFi look at him!"
That w,as Just:what Harry was doing
with all bia-might. Presently he touch
ed the baty!anheek with his finger. I
think he Icad,a suspicion that it was by
no means {kph and blood, but only a
waxen box:
"He's a Tale fellow !" he said, contain
platively.
All the mother awoke in Dot.
Little ? whycHarrY, how can you ? Ho
weighs flight pounds!"
hurry did tint meld under the mon
strous fact. He took it quite calmly.
"Does he? I" still doubtingly, "I
suppose lie will grow."
"Growl" cried Dot, sobbing anti laugh- ,
ing. "I know he will. It's only a ques
tion of time. Give nirn time enough
and he will he as big as von are. Oh,
volt precious, conceited fellow. I didn't
kowiv you thought you were born grown
up!"
Dot's baby did grow. It was in a re
fientl,Liehionable w4y,after my own heart.'
I never could !understand the ecstasies
people go into over your huge baby, who
only repiesents so much adipose tissue.
"Look at his-armsl" they cry. "Look
at his legs?" i..
Dear triendaJdo look at them, and I
don't like them They remind me of
pork ! It's a dreadful thong! t, I know,
but I can't helplt. I suppose it betrays
some horrible Cannibal pedigree, but I
never see one ofahess overeorpnlent ba
bies without thinking how nice he wand
be cooked. As for a soul, I should des
pair of finding one in such a mass of tor.
ordupois.
You may think it is only nepotism
which makes me.declare that Dot's baby,
.as a baby, was absolutely perfect.. His
eveptisite limbs Would have delighted a
sculptor. 'lndeed,. they were modeled
more than•onee,4:l o'er migitt have had
quite a museum of cats, only Dot declares
she wouldn't have pieces of her baby ly
ing around all over the house.
The little fellow had a name of Lie
own —a verry pretty name, too—but be
tx a s alw a ys sunken of as l), is baby.—
When he was three years 'old I went to
spend the winter with Dot.
-'lt is really ume you were married Ru
thy," said Dot. "I have a foreboding
that you will be an old maid. I read the
other day that there were seventy then
sand more women than men in Masao
' cliusetts. The paper didn't say that the
most ofem lire in the country towns, but
I I know they do. You shall stay here
this winter, Ruthy, and, if von didn't get
I a Liver ! , y spring, Harry and I will pay
your ra.e to Colorado. Only yen musn't
make love to Harry, or seduce the baby's
young affections."
This was the week before Christmas,
and our principal work just then was to
i go shopping for presents. One day we
had been unusually busy, and lunched
down town, and didn't start home till the
sh.rt afternoon was just closing up.
"I am wild to see the baby." said Dot,
, as we crowded into the car, already cram
med as cars are at the holidays. "I al
, ways think, when I alp going home.what
I if anything had happened to him ?"
"What should happen to him ?"
Dot knit her two aristocratic eyebrows
into a frown.
"Don't be a goose, dear, and pretend.—
You know a thousand things might have
h tppened to him, But I can't tell the
man to drive faster because I am worried
abotit my baby, can I ?"
1 smiled in my maiden superiority.—
I believe I said something about conceit
od young women who fancy that their
Lail 's cradle is the axis of the planet.—
Poor darling Dot! Why couldn't have
forseen the awful trouble Unit was to
come upon her?
We got home at last, and Dot ran up
the steps before me and rang the bell.—
Mary the second girl, opened the door,
smiled at first, glanced past us inquiring
ly, and then gave a short scream.
"What's the matter ?" demanded Dot,
turning upon her with a white face.
"Sure, an'it's the baby, ma'am!"
"The baby I" shrieked Dot I "What--
what--"
. .
• The words 'lied Ain her lips. She was
quite pa.st speech. she seized Mary
by the.shoulder, and her eyes were wild
nod fierce in their demand.
. _
"Yon said first you'd -take him, ma'am
and when I went or stairs and found he
wain% aideep on the sofa as he said, I
thought you'd tuck• him. Jiowly mother,
it's lost he is !"
One awful, fixed, uncomprchernding
stare, and then, as the truth came home
to her, Dot fell forward , in a deaf faint
into my arms.
Ohjow my heart ached! and yet I
dared not stop to grieve. We carried Do
un stairs. 'I sent the eook down to Aar
rfs'oflice, and May the nearest police
station. In half atthour the parlor was
full of neighbors and friends whom the
news-of our sudden trouble had brought
to us. In among them all' came Barry,
pale and wretched, and took Dot - in his
arms.
"God won't be so erne! to us, my dm%
ling," he attid. • '
add dry: - het To' sewed to cling to
an44tvotir s hittl; •
. .
"I don't know," she aolabed. "Dread
ful things happen in the world every day,
and Ile lets them."
Whet a night that wee to liTe through
--what a night to remember? A dear
friend came to us and consulted with
Harry. They agreed upon, measures of
search. Sleep was not thought of. We
walked the floor; we went'l.istleis from
room to room. •
" Ob, if Dot could only , cry I" (said Bar
ry, with streataing eyes. I looked at her.
Would ter heart break ?
It Wu a dreadful risk, but worth the
chance. I went into Dot's bedroom, and
hunting abdut there I found a little worn
velvet cap, -with its shreds of gold lace
and its dilapidated tassel. We had fan
cied that the baby looked particulary
lovely In it, and had been loth to throw it
aside.
" Dot. darling, you know you threw
down hie coat and hie cap on the bed
when you decided not to take him. He
must Live put them on himself. See l
here is the old cap, dear l"
I P ut it into ha lap. She had been
rocking back and forth, her face in her
bands. She dropped her hands now, gaz
ed at the poor hula fchapeuthnod great
eobe began to shake ber.
"0, my baby! my babyl" . yhe cried;and
a rushing torrent or tears swept away the
icy despur that had controlled her.
It was better after this. Do not talk
and her sorrow was easier to bear when it
could be put into words.
" I think of his wandering in to those
cde streets; and the poor .outimt chil
dren crowding around him—he must
stem like an angel to' them, or a little
king—and perhaps ono ruder than the
rest tears off his cap and another seizes
his cloak, and he is cold, and the winter
winds Wow his hair about, and he wants
mamma, andgets hungry, and—oh,
Iluthy, how can - I
bear it ?1
Dot cries at the I icture, and directly
new combinations arise.
We see him running up and down the
streets, and he groive more and more
heart-broken in his longings and hunger
for his sweet mamas.
Just in the gray of the morning the
bell rang again. It had been rin g ing at
intervals all night, and again . and aga'n
our hopes had been kindled tmly to die.
Harry went down. Dot 04 I listened
at the head of the stairs
"It's nothing, darling," I Odd with my
arm aroand her waist.
But Dot's quicker ear, or, more likely,
her motherly instinct. divinq . the truth.
She broke trom my arms wtljt a cry, and
ran down. I followed, and there was the
blessed day in the arms_ bf a strange
young gentleman.
Those arias yielded him itirantly.
How he wits kissed. and ~ oried over;
What congratulations, what 6. tumnit of
thanksgiving, what. tears, what sobbing,
what laughter, received this - unwitting
prodigal? Was it rot, all witnigssed by the
handsome young . .stranger :Ho was no
stranger ) -ir.boa an old friend of
Harty i Called by him Jack, as familiarly
as if he had been his brother. •
It was a long, pathetic story, but the
gist of it was that Mr. Conway had res
cued the baby from the clutches of a beg
gar, who undoubtedly meant to use him
3B capital in her trade.
" I tried to find out his name," said
Mr. Con way, laughing, " but all I could
learn was that mamma was Dot, and he
war Dot's baby!"
Mr. Conway retired after being, I hope,
properly thanked and refreshed.
It was brea fast time now,hut who car
ed for breakfast? We gathered around
the table, however, a happy if not a hun
gryparty. •
Harry, who is Jack Conway ?" asked
Dot.
" Ile is an old comrade of mine. We
stood shoulder to shoulder at Antietam
and Gettysburg."
" A capital fellow," proceeded Harry,
not notiaing•Dot's irrevelant interruption
" in a banking concern down town.'
" Mr. Ascutt," remarked Dot, with a
curious look in her eyes, " may I be al
lowed to ask why you never introduced
this capital fellow to the bosom of your
family ?"
" Why ?"
" Why, why," cried Dot, "Oh, the inef
fable stupidity of the masculine mind I
Because, you precious goose. he is the man
destined f.om the foundation of the
world to be Ituthy's husband."
"Ah," said Harry, and he surveyed me
with a new and critical interest.
"Nonsense, Dot I you'ro crazy!" I
cried.
"Not at all, I'm a much abused and
unappreciated seeress, of ,srbom my fami
ly are not worthy. Nercr,bluili.dear. See
if my prediction dosetet come,time."
"It did—it really did:, duttit.allcanie,
of Dot's baby.
Breach of Promise.
——o—
A colored girl in New York has gone
into Court with a breach of promise case,
She produced a letter trom her lover,
which is a model of its bud, and ought
to find a distinguished place in some pat
ent letter writer. The leiter is as follows
DBA a M iss : —Excuse the boldness of
an entire stranger in this deliberately cor
responding with you. I sincerly trust
that while your ladyship persnes this note
it will meet with Ler decided'arel favora
ble consideration. I cannot control eny
feelings any longer. No, no! The Mighty
Cunit with his a•rows of fire has pierced
the heart of your humble writer, and on
his bonded knees ask from her whom his
soul Lovest and desires a return of his at
fectioriii Adieu r adien, believerne sincere.
Your. aatriker.
This powerful appeallufa the desired
molt, and brought about an interview.
The lover changed Ilia tone and heart,
and began to wnte eloquently on the sub
ject of wligian and -salvation, and a
change of heart. ' Uitsillar. had evic - 8 it:

An Ingenious Rogue.
—o—
A gentleman in London advertised for
a servant lately and receired a reply. It
appeared satisfactory, bat being very par
ticular he required a personal interview
with the man's last employer. Ho was
requested to call on a given dui at a large,
fashionable hotel at the West End. Here
he was received by nn eminently respecta
ble gentleman who gave the candidate a•
capital character. Thereupon be too.
him and found the mimeo admirable tier-.
rant. After some time the man ushered .
in'one morning a person who said he
wished to see Mr. —on business. The
visitor, waiting till after the door was
carefully closed, then said in a low tone,
"I am a deteotive, air, and I have called
to give you what is, I fear, an unpleasant
bit of information. That servant who
showed me in here .is a ticket-of-hiave
man." "Oh !" replied Mr. --, "there
must be some mistake; I know all about
the man." The visitor smiled incredn
luusly. Mr. summoned his servant'
and said, "John, this is a policeman, who
says you're a convict. I tell him it can't
be, for I heard your history from your lust
place." The man held down Lis head.-
1 1 "It's too true, sir." Mr. -- was aghast
with astonishment. "But how in the
world can it be, then, that the gentleman
I saw at the hotel should have accounted
for your life from hisown personal know!-
' edge:''' "I wilt explain all that present
ly, sir," he said, as heiuoked significantly
at,tho officer, whom Mr.— then thank
ed and dismissed. "The truth is," he
continued, "1 was the person you saw at
the hotel." "You !" "Yes, sir. I was
utterly desperate. I knew that unless 1
could get a place I should have to go to
stealing and resolved to make a last ef
fort.

myself with false hair,
and took rooms' for a couple of nights
where von saw me. Of course it was very
wrong to deceive von, and the circum
stances 1 was in are the only excuse I can
plead. I say unly this in est, iluatiou,
that I have served you honestly and faith
fully." Mr. --, a kind-hearted man;
feeling heartily sorry for the man, men
tioned the case to a friend who was equal
, ly sympathetic, and in the end he was
successfully established, by their aid-,in a
small business. and he has since been do

Give a Little
_o_
There is nothing harder fur aman with
a strong will and a stronger "won't" in
his composition, than to make up his
mind not always to have his own way—
to
submit to a thousand little wrongs and
impositions ra cher than qnarrelwith neigh
ghbors. A man who had been a clergy
man, physician and lawyer, was asked
which profession wait the most profitable.
He replied in substauce that "where a
man would be willing to pay twenty , five
cents to secure his salvation, and -fifty
cents to, be made well when he was sick.
he - wank( Wlllingly give five dollars I to
have his own way."
Now this wilfulness is, of all kinds of
business, the most unprofitable. One
well says that a man needs a long purse
who determines, come what will, to haie
his own way. We must learn to tura
sharp corners quietly, or we shall he con
stantly hurting ourselves. Two men with
mills on the same streams quarreled over
the water power. There was probably
not five dollars difference between them
at the start, but neither would yield an

The cave was thrown into the hands

the case along year after year, until ono
lawyer took the tipper mill for his dues,
and the other the lower. They probably
were contented not to quarrel over the
trifles that proved so disastrous to their
clients.
Before you go into a lawsuit, carefully
calculate your cost if you should gain it,
and see if you had not better put your
money into a sheep, a new carriage for
your family, a cow for your eon or daugh•
or F 6 thousand other things that might .
give you much moro profit and happiness.
The inalacious delight you feel in gloat
ing over a neighbor's discomfiture is not
happiness. but only its miserable counter
feit. It is a disposition near akin to that
which lost spirits feel. Root this out of
your chart, if you would not be for ever
miserable. .
