He knows - you al ready, I declare," said the delighted parent as it smiled at a bright ring which I held.-- "You never saw such a quick child. He follows inn with his eyes all about the room. Notice what pretty little feet he has, the dar ling footsy-toosies," and talking both : fiet in one hand the mother fondly kissed theth. "It is certainly very pretty,'' said I, trying to be polite, thi.tieh I could not perceive that the infant was more_ beautiful than a dezen others I had seen. "IL has your eyes exactly, Mary. _. .Yes, and dad4l mouth and chin,' said my friend, aOstrophing the chid ; isn't it precious ?"

She was a fragile. g entle woman, with mournful blue eye s , and temples slightly transparent.— Layit! her hand smoothingly upon Harry's head, she' stooped and kissed his fathead.
