Ko Indeed, not by no me ana. I wouldn’t give my little Harry Clay for all iliu niggers and plantation! in Georgy, aa much trouble and worrvmenl aa i>* give* me. Alnt It earlous what store we do eet by the little eroeter*. eveu before we've had ’em long enough to know auytblug about ’em. It aaema like a new foun tlu of hap pine** la opened In our heart*, a now value given to ev«ry thing we’ve got and a new puipoee to •ur llvwa, when for the fust time wo look upon a lltll* belpleM beln that le born or our love, and I* dependant on a* for auppdil and protection. II ow anxious w* I* to do every thing we can for ’em. What pleasure we Hod In the pains we take to make ’em happy. But you it a man of experience In the** mature, Mr. Thompson, and I oeedu’t tell yon nothin about Ik I must tell you. though, what a terrible akewr we bad t'other night with lb* baby. I had bean down to Tola Mtalllutea mill, to aaa about geltln anuis lumber to build ma a n»» giabouaa, and bad been ridln and worklo hard all day In the wet, and eose boms monstrous tlrad, lata in tba evenln. Marv aud the baby waa all wet, and t went to bad pretty early, Ihtokln to git a good night's rest for the lost time In a month. Well, how tong I'd been slsepln, I can’t tell, bat the fust thing I koowed was Mary pull In my hair to maka we wake up. “Joseph] Joaaph!” see aha.” “Ha; what's the matterf” eta I, when I scad bet teanln over In tba bed with the lamp Id her band, and her faoa as pale aa the gown she had on. "Ob, Joseph, do git up." see she, “something's the matter with the baby.” That waa enough for me, and In a twlnklin l waa asttln np In the bed, aa wide awake aa If 1 hadn’t been asleep In a waak. “Look at him, Joseph-be aots so curious,” ae* she, aa she lack the little feller out or the crib, and laid him down in the bed between ua. For about two intuits wa both aol and looked el tba baby, 'tbont drawin a breath, Thar it lay on Its baek, with Its little bands down by Ua aide. Fust It would spread Its month like It was laughln at something -then It would roll iu eyes about In Its head ana wink ’em at os—then It would twitch all over, and katoh Its breath— would lay right still aud stop breath In for a second or two, and then It would twiteh tta.liltle limbs again, and roll ita ayes about tba strangest I aver seed any thing In my Ufa: and then It would ooo, so pitiful.

After brealt In two or three otipa and austere, and •rilin' Mary’s night cep allre with the candle, old Mies Stelllns made out to git a teaspoonful of eut tea in the baby's mouth, hot enough to scald Ita life nut. and then ther was rich anoth er to-do as nobody erer did hoar be fore. “We! - wa yal -ke wa ah!" went the baby. tioofi uraclouil mother, tbe tea's bill" Holl" eee eleter Carllne.
