Irom the loss of sleep nnd tbc want of
food. The baby moans, and will not
bo comforted. Iu this way sho passed
the day and another dreadful night
She Cuds nnothcr fire j she stays by it
and keeps it burning through tho night
for she is afraid of wolves. Another
morning and sho is almost hopeless.
O, will not hcavcu pity her ? Tho lit
tle ono grows weaker; ho cannot lift
up his head. Another terrible night;
baby moans pitcouslj ; bo falls into
convulsions ; tbe nest be dies. All day
she carried tho little, lifeless body ,iu
her arms, nnd all uigbt, boheath the u'n
pitying stars, she holds it ou her bos
om. ho carried tbo little dead burden
day after day, until tho nurplo hue of
decay was setting rapidly over it.
Then she looked about Jbr a spot
wnero sue migiit dig tho tiny crrave
so deep that the wildcat and wolf would
not scent it out. cak as she was,
this was no easy tas-k, but in ber wander.
nigs she came upon a giant tree uptorn
at some lormer time ty a hurricane
lu the soft earth where the roots bad
lain, she scooped out tbo baby's resting
place, and, making it soft with uioss
covered the cold little form forever
from her sight. Hour after hour uass-
ed : bow to commence tho dreadful
pilgrimage ? Then sho Doted everything
about the spot. Hero was a rock, there
stood nn lmmcnso hemlock. Yes .she
would know the place. Sho could find it
easily with llobert.
1 hen began the strueralo through the
wilderness. Pay after day, week after
week she pa?sed on. Her 6hocs were
worn to fragments aud fell from her
feet. Her garments wore torn to tat
ters. But tho days grow warmer, and
tho fever that was burning in ber veins
made even tbe soft showers that fell
upon ber welcome. First sho ato tho
buds of trees and tbo bark of tbe birch.
Presently she btgou to find the young
neck berry leaves, and now ami then
she came upon a patridgo's nest, and
greedily sucked the eggs. After n
tunc there were red raspberries and
black thimble berries iu the woods
and tllPll ffcp knew it nin July Tlin
trees had now put on afresh their
beautiful garments. But for the de
licions poetiy one Gndj in the woods,
sauntering out from tho busy world
for nn hour, sho cared nothing. She
saw nothing but trees, trees, in inter--min
able succession. It seemed years,
yes, ngc-s ago, that sho swept the
bearlh wilh a birch broom, and sung
the baby to sleep in Hubert's eabiri.
Her mind grew bewildered, still she
went on, on, on. 'When she came ton
large stream idio went up towards its
source until sho could wado acioss it.
8ohho said ; and she affirmed that she
never cro.-sed a stream wider than a
brook. be paid no attention to sun
end mooa as a guide or indication of
the compass, but she must have tak
en a northwesternly direction. Thcro
was Black liver, Mill river, Water
quecchy, and White Wait's Well, flow
ing into tho Connecticut river from the
Vermont side ; but she constantly as
serted that sho saw none of them.
Through J uly and August there wore
berries of various kinds, and by means
of these Uo sustained what littlo life
wxi left. And uow tlio maple began
to tako on its gorgeous crimson, and
the silver birches to wear thuir pala
gold of September the birds were leav
ing tho forest ; occasionally she had
glimpses of a black bear, turued out of
tbo path afraid of human form ; but no
human being did sho meet, and long
before human voices had ceased to call
her name.
I as sno alono on tho earth, and
wus tbe earth one vast wilderness
without outlet, without a clearing or a
scttloiucut ? Had God taken all life but
that of brutes, and forgotten her, or
orduined hor to wander forever '(
Tramp ing, with her feet bleeding and
cocking nt first, and afterwards cal.
loused naked or nearly so ; knowing
nothing of time or place, sho was fast
becoming idiotic ; when dio was huug

idea lingering in her mind was that of
prossing on. Sinco the luxuriauce of
summer had filled tbc forest with ferns
and a uow growth of brier and under

ing through. But she had become quite
accustomed to tbo rough woik aud the

and as it has been somo time since the
public have been called upon to laugh
over its exquisite ridiculousness, we will
give it a start again :
Scene. A court of justice in South
Ct'rolinq.
A beardless disciple of Themis rises
and thus addressos tbc Court : May it
please your worship and you gentlemen
of the jury, siuco it has been my fortune
Eond or bad (I will not say) to exercise

has been your duty to pas3 upon one so
shocking to benevolent feelio'-s, as this

wnicn toon place over at Captain Ilico s
in this county ; but you will hear from
ibo witnesses.
Tbo witnesses beiug sworn, two or
three were examined and donnsr.d ; flnn

see the fight; another that ho saw the
row, but did uot know who struck first,
aud another that ho was very drunk
and couldn't say much about the skrim
mage. Lawyer Chops I am sorry, ffcntle-
mcu, to have occupied your tirao with
the stupidity of tho witnesses examined.
It arises, gentlemen, from a misappre
hension ou my rart. Had I known, as
I now do, that. I had a witness who was
acquainted with all the circumstances of
the case, and who was able to make him-
self clearly understood to tho court nnd
jury, I should not havo trespassed so
long ou your patience. Como forwnnl
Mr. Harris, and be sworn.
So forward comes the witness, n fat..
