That she loved her hu>hand above all earthly object*, was plaiuly evident, ft* he hat! Kxa her first ami only love. She had loop Iwen alone in the world—fatherless, motherless, sis tori ess, brother)?#*—and now she turned to him, her husband, with all the worship of a passionate soul and sym pathetic nature. She reamed for love re turned, such as she had dreamed of, such as she lilt for him ; and sho had reason to believe that she had found It. One morning, as was his custom, he left ber for his daily toil, lie had over and over again printed kisses of affection upon her lips, but still she clung to him, until tears started into her eyes, and she ex claimed : "Oh, fleat ge, why is it -that 1 can not tear this parting ? Don't think mo fool ish, but it seeins as if I must cling to you 4nd weep—weep from very joy, for my heart is >0 full. Ain I not too happy ? YV ill such joy last through life P I'lav foil r the husband patted her cheeks, kissed ber lip-. once more, and left her for his work. As long as possible she watched his retreating form, and then she turned to her household duties, and as she did so, tried to ring and smile; but something choked her utterance, and tears would till her eyes in spite of all she could do. Slowly the day dragged on, and the sup per hour was approaching. The table had been spread with more than usual care, and a dish provhled of which the husband vs wry fond. "In ten minutes he will be here," she murmured ; bat at that very instant she was startled by the violent ringing of the door-bell. She knew not why, but her heart beat with great rapidity, as she pro ceeded to answer the summons. She opened the door, and saw half a dozen men standing there. Not one of them spoke, bat thej advanced into the hallway, and from thence into a little parlor, where they depceited a heavy burden they had~brooght with them. She did not shriek or faint, but she ap peared even calm under the circumstances ; for there was the out .*t retched fonn of George Avery, her husband ; and he moved not. There eoald be no mistake, for there were the very garments be had worn in (acting from her that morning. But the face was so covered with blood that the features could not be distinguished. Even yet, without a word, a murmur, or a sigh, she proceeded to procure water, and with her own band* she washed away the gore. Yes, it waa her husband's face; but pale, and the eyes expressionless; for he was dead. "How did this happen 7" she asked, taming to one of the men. "I'oWpGeorge fell from the building upon whkMV had been at work, just as he was spe*Bg of his home, and of the ending of another week of toil. He neTer spoke af ter struck the ground." Tffe poor wife did not sink ender this blow. She did Dot even weep; but there aecroed to bo an unnatural light in ber eyes, and an unaccountable calmness alwut her. Even beside the grave, she did not weejv, although it was found necessary to support her, for she could not stand. And now she returned to he*r desolate home, alone-, although not long to re-main so; for her child was Isirn. As she had hoped, if was a boy, and a* she gaaed upon it, she whispered: "Rut for this, 1 could not have lived— but for this, 1 should have Wen placed be side my husband. Hot I have a sacred dutv now to perform. God help me* to be faithful to my charge." One day, after ber usual toil, the mother sat reading a new*|per article, where the description of a child having been kid napped, wa riven. For a few moment* her mind had Wen alisorWd, and then placing ber hand against ber brow, she murmured: "Oh, if such a misfortune should hap pen to me, what should Ido ? Mine is a beautiful boy, unless 1 am blinded by a mother's love, and I must guard him with jealous care. Georgie! Georgie!" The little one had Wen seated in the front door, and only a moment Wfore she had heard hi* innocent laugh. But he did not reply to the call of hi* mother, and springing up, she sought him where he had been sitting. lie waa not there. She was not especially alarmed, for she sup posed that he had only wandered a short distance from the door, although he was not in sight, and walking to tW first cor ner. she felt sure the should find him. Still, he was nowhere to be seen, and the mother's heart began to Wat wildly, the blood to course like lightning through her veins, and then for affnoment she felt a faint lies* creeping over her. Up and down the.streets she ran, calling upon the name of her child. Her manner was wild in the extreme, and the deadly pallor of her face gave ber an unearthly appearance, and those who saw her had no doubt but they were gazing upon a lunatic. But still "no little Georgie could she find; ob, was nc lost to her forever 7 Her manner attracted the attention of' an officer, and, of course, thy first thing he thought of was arrest, believing, as did all j others, that the poor woman was thorough ly insane, and might do harm to herself, and perhaps to other*. Rut in a few broken words she explained the cause of her unusual excitement. To rive the mother consolation was impossible; and yet the assurance that the authorities would institute an instant and ' thorough search, brought some relief; but it did not lessen the efforts of the mother. But the night wore on, aud from very exhaustion 6he was compelled to seek ber desolate home. But 6he could not rest. Up and down her humble apartment she walked, ever and anon calling upon her boy; but no response came, save from the night wind, which seemed to moan in sym- 1 pathy for the mother. Now she would snatch up a toy or a little dress, and press ing it to her throbbing breast and levered lip, would burst into tears; and they were blessed drops, for thev relieved the heart, 1 and kept it from breaking yet 1 FRED.

"Oh, find him for me— find tieorgie for me!" and the joor mother could say no more, for she fell fainting into the arms of the officer, who gently placed her upon a couch, ami then summoned assistance. And the mother did cling to hope. Day sttcr day she passed in wandering up ami down the fashionable streets, peer ing eagerly into every carriage, examining the (aces of all children of her hoy's age, she saw at play, ami gazing iuto almost every dwelling window, and still believing that her child was not drewued but had been stolen. Several times she had been considerably startled, half-smothered cries had eeaiKKi her, and she had run with all herspftl to overtake some vehicle where she hsu caught tlie gliinjKe of an infant form. More than once she bad attracted the attention of the police by her, to them, strange manner, and some there were who thought her insane; but as she appeared quite harmless, she was not arrcsteil. And so the days wore on, and for six weeks she had kept up this fruitle* search. She found that her savings had become exhausted, and it now 1-ecanie necessary for ber to resume ber toil. She did so, with a heart heavy as lead. One morning her attention was attracted by an advertisement in a newspaper. A Woman was wanted in a wealthy private family to make clothing for a child. Her heart beat rapidly as she read it, she knew not xrhv, unless it was from the fact that the very mention of children caused her brain to whirl and her eyes to grow dim with tear*. But at once she started for the designated point. She was admitted 1 by a servant into the presence of the mis tress, who examined the applicant closely for a few moments, and then said: "My good woman, 1 question the pro priety of engaging you, tor there is sotne t thing wild 111 your manner, and if I am not greatly mistaken, I have often seen yon wandering in this vicinity, with an appear ance which indicated lunacy. Are you not in the habit of drinking ?" "No, madam, nor do I think I am in sane. It is true there is a heavy burden upon my heart, and if you are a mother, you can sympathize with me. '•What is the eau*e of your suffering 7" "My child—my only and darling little lioy—has been stolen from me. You may have noticed tue in thU neighborhood, but I was searching for him." A deadly pallor had overspread the rich 1 woman's tace. and she hissed through her teeth: "Go—l can not engage you—go. If you are poor, here is something to relieve you, but quit my house at once;" and the lady topped Mrs. Avery a bank-note, which would have paid for whole week* of toil, had she been engaged. At that instant a child ran into the apartment, laughed innocently, and hold ing up a toy, exclaimed : "Mamma! mamma T' A piercing shriek burst from the lips of Mrs. Avery; and springing up, she Caught the little one in her arms, exclaiming: "My God, it is Georgie, my own lost boy!"' The little fellow was, evidently, fright ened at the wild manner of the woman, and beginning to cry, he stretched out his hands toward the rich lady, and said; '•Come, mamma—up—up!" By this time the lady bad recovered her calmness, and attempting to take the little one, she said: ••Woman, I know Uiat you arc insane now. Give up that child. It is not yours —don't you see he is afraid of you." "It is my child, and no earthly power shall part us!" "Give him up, I say, or I will call the police and give you in charge as a danger ous lunatic. Give him up, 1 say !" ' Never. Call the police, and I, too, will call them." With the boy in her arms, she mad# a dash for the front door, which she opened, and was al-out to de scend the granite stc-p. when she uiet an officer face to face. The rich lady saw him, too, and exclaimed: "Arrest that woman. She is a maniac, and would steal my child." The officer attempted to-take the child, while he said to the poor woman : "You get away from here, and ;? I ever catch you in this neighborhood again, I will lock you up. I have seen you around here before." "But! will not give up this child, for it is mint*,* 1 she shrieked, *'* nd that woman i stole it from me. It is mine, and I can prove it." By this time, as might have been ex jieeted, a crowd had gathered arouud, and as they gleamed something of'tlie alfhir, they tlemandetl that each party should la* taken before a justice, where the merits of the case should lie decided. To this ar rangement the officer consented and in a short time after, the rival mothers were at the police court, the rich woman backed 1 by her husband and their friends, while Mrs. Avery was all alone, unless her be w'uutil for gotten vou vet. Now h-t Mhthtiwdtini ants co to iiitn, extend their hand*, mid ask him to ootue. We will M* to which he w ill dine." Roth women advanced, ami extending her hand*, Mia.

The child turned to her, stretelnd out hia little hands, was received, and then laid his head upon her bosom, repenting t lie word: "Maiuma! uiaiuma I" "It is enough," said the justice. '• The child U-longs to Mrs Bradley, and Mrs A very is evidently insane. Remove her, for uj*m that question we must have a further hearing." '• Stay." cried the jioor woman, " and I will give you further proof that you are mistaken. Permit me to take the child in my arms lor a few moments, and I will convince you. During his six weeks, ab sence from me, he has almost forgotten his mother, but be will soon remember her. 1 pray you, let ue take the boy tnly for a few moments." "Give her the child." She took the boy in her aruis, and seated herself. She caressed him tenderly, spoke a few simple wortls, such as children are accustomed to, and then said. "Georgie, sleepy-by, and sing." Tlie little follow dropped hut head upon the woman's Iswom, and commenced a murmuring sound, adding plainly the won!, "bv-by-by." v •'Say, "stop that,' " repeated the mother. •'Stop a.that," auswervd the child. "Say, 'Ella.'" '•Ella," came in distiuct articulation. "What do you hear ?* askesl the mother, "llark ! liark !*' repeatesl the child. With tears standing iu her eyes, Mrs. Avery sprang up, placet! the hoy in a seat, caught a bit of (|*T from the table and wrote a few words upon it. This she handed to the justice, who read it, and nodded as-cut. Then the mother, turning to her boy, said; " Georgie, mamma is going to prav." "Instantly the boy closed his eyas, and folded his iiamis across in. breast. And tb mother repeated, iu slow ami earnest words: "Oh, thou Father of the orphan, and the widow's God, protect this mother and her child." There was quite a pause before the little fellow opened his eyas aial unfolded lit* haml*. Then ho extended them to his mother, and clung to her with all his strength, refusing to be removed, from her. Thuve words had brought ts- k recollec tion, aud al! was with him as if he had never leen separated from that (Mirent. The justice held up the pxp#r, and his utterance was choked, as he said: "Mrs. Avery wrote upon this slip just what tho t-oy would do when she spoke ol prayer. He has done it—the child belong* to her." There were- few- dry eyes in that court room, ami while the true mother smiled again with joy, the kidnappers were thor oughly crushed. They slunk from the place, ami to avoid a further investigation, they left the city, and all trace of them was lost. But the whole facts of the case after waid transpired. Mrs. Bradley had mar ried against her father's wishes, and that lather had sworn a solemn oath that he would disinherit her. After a tunc he relented, but would not break his oath. And to "whip the devil around the i-tump," he bad made provisions that the first child should hare a very larga annual in come. and at bis own death, tliat child was to receive a splendid fortune. But eleven yean had passed since the marriage, and still the woman was without an heir. The hu-l-and and wife visited Kuro|>e, and were gone three year*. During this ab sence they had sent word home that the old gentleman was a grandfather. This was not the case, but one of poverty's chil dren, of the suitable age. bad Is-en adopted by them, and was to be palmed off as their own. This was necessary, for pover ty was staring the ut in the fare, and only the will of her father would enable them still to live in affluence. On the pa—age over from England the child died. Ft became necessary for them to find another, aud cn the verj dsv of their arrival, they had stolen that of Sir. Avery. This is a strange world, and event* stranger that anything in fiction are occur ring every day, ail around us.

Ilnles for the t are of Sheep. 1 Keep sheep dry under foot with lit ! ter. This is even morn necessary than | roofing thein. Never let them stand or lie in the mud or snow, i 2, Take up lamb bucks early in the sumutsr, keep them up until December 1 following, when they iiiuy lie turned ! out. 3. Drop or take out the lowest bars as the sheep may enter or leave a yard, thus saving broken limbs. 4. Count every dnv. 6. Begin graining with the greatest i care, and use the smallest quantity at . first. 6. If a ewe loses her lamb, uiilk her ' daily for a few days, and mix a little alum with her salt. 7. Let no hogs eat with the sheep, by any means, in the spring. 9. Give the lainlw a little mill feed in time of weaning. 9. Never frighten sheep if possible to avoid it. 10. How rye for weak ones in cold weather, if you nut. 11. Separate nil weak, or thin, or sick, from those strong, in the fall, and give them special care. 12. If uny sheep is hurt, catch it at once and wash the wound, mid if it is fly time, apply spirits of tnrpentine doily, and nlways wash with something heating. If a limb is broken, biud it with splinters tightly, loosening as the limb swells. 13. Keep a number of good bells on the sheep. 14. Do not let the sheep spoil their 1 wool with chaff or burrs. 15. Cut tag-locks early in the spring. | 16. For scours, give pulverized alum in wheat bran ; prevent by taking great care in changing green for dry feed. 17. If one is lnmc, examine the foot, ! clean out between the hoofs, bare the 1 hoof if unsound, and apply tobacco 1 with blue vitriol boiled in a little water, i 18. Shear at ouco any sheep commenc ing to shed its wool, unless the weather is too severe, and wive etirefnlly the pelt! of any sheep that dies.
