Savannah and Albany Railroad Corn-
pan. .
Savannah, May 93, 1853.
An adjourned meeting of the biockholders of tho.
Savauush and Albany Railroad Company, was hold
this day, according to notice, in the Excbungo. The
meeting was organized by calling Dr. K. Wayne,
Mayor, to the Choir, and appointing Win. Duncuu
Secretary, and Daniel H. Stewart, Assistant.
Tho roll of stockholders being called, $643,730 waa
represented.
Col. N. Tift offered the following preamblo and re
solutions :
Whereas, the intention of tho parties in the or-
« anizuiiou of the Savunnuh and Albuuy Railroad
otnpuuy, was to limit the existence of the organi
zation by the 3Ulh article, which is in the following
words :
“ The Savannah and Albany Railroad Company,
t*r* " fun.ray II apt !40 nf nn...i.hlnfl
nah shaft ttnvoriheless be valid nud of full force.
Provided, That the work be curamouced at, and
carried on from Savannah, or from a point on the
Central Railroad near Savannah ; And provided
further,_That no portiuu of the subscription of the
city of Saranuah shall be expended, until tho —...
of at least five hundred thousand dollars shall be
obtained from other sources.
Resolved, That the city of Savannah, in mak
ing this subscription, looks 10 a direct connection
with the Gulf of Mexico, and Southwestern Geor
gia, and should the Savanuuh and Albany Railroad
Company fail in obtaining the uocessary means to
extend tho road from Savannah beyond the Alta-
niuha to Albany, this city will bo at liberty to pros-
ecu to hor enterprise by such route as tnny best pro
mote the accomplishment of her design, and be
most conducive to the commerce of tho Stale.
And whereas the Savanuah Sc Albany Railroad
Comp >ny, up to this period has failed to obluin
the necessary means to extend the Road from Sa
vannah beyond tbe Altamuha to Albany, and thin
city is therefore, by tho very terms of tho actiou of
November last, at full liberty to prosecute her eu-
torprize of a connection with the Gulf of Mexico by
euch route as may best promote llie accomplishment
of her design:
It ie Resolved by the subscribing stockholders
horo present and represented, That it is our pur
pose, upon and wilhu subscription of oue million
of dollars, to build a railroad from Savannah to
a point west of the river Altumaha, crossing that
river in the vicinity of Doctor’s Town or in the vi
cinity of Oglethorpe Bluff, or in tho vicinity of
Beard’s Bluff crossings,eijuully ini r lor the extension
of the Rond to Albuuy on the oue hand und iu a
direction through Decatur County to Pensacola on
tho other hand.
That it is further our purposo to extend the said
road from the point west of the Altamaha river,
through the southern tier of couuties in Georgia, by
the most direct and practicable route, to an eligible
point in Decatur County on the northern boundary
of Florida or on the western bunk of the Chatta-
hoocheo rivor, at which to unite with the Florida
and Georgia Company in carrying on the Road
through West Florida to Pensucola. For thia>pur-
pose we will use every exertion to procure the lie-
ccssBury means, and we caunot doubt our ability to
accomplish the task.
That it is further our purpose, if tho people of Mid.
dlo Florida dnsire to unite with us, by mooting us on
the Northern line of their State al a point Eastward
of tlie county of Decatur, in tbe county of Hamilton,
or at some more elible point, with a subscription of
at least eight hundred thousand dollars, and with a
view of taking Middle as woll as West Florida, on
the way to Pousacota—so to divert our line, above
described, as to meet their views.
That it is further our purpose, in addition to the
work ubove contemplated, to extend the road from
some eligible point on tho line of road west of tbe
Altemaha river, to be solected by tho Stockholders,
to Albany, whenever the company obtains the 110-
ceasary stock subscriptions for that object, which
subscriptions they will invite so soon as that point
shall be designated.
The following resolutions were offered in com
mittee, in lieu of the last precodiug clause :
t Resolved, That it is further our purpose, in addi-
the work above contemplated, to construct a
Ac," (page 11, art. 30 of pamphlet;)
Aud whereas it is supposed by some that a legal
construction may be plucod upon tbe lGihsectiou of
suid organization, which would dofeut the honest
iutontionsof the parties and place the power iu the
hauds of tho present subscribers to wrest the char
ter from tho persona who iuruished it, for the bene
fit of Albuuy and the surrounding section of South
western Georgia, as well as for the benefit of 8a-
vaunuh amt the intermediate country,—without com
plying with the conditions which were iu good faith
understood and entered into by all purties.
It is tuorulbre
Resolved, That the citizens of Savannah, and
subscribers for stock unde*- tho provuiouul organiza
tion of the Savannah aud Albany Railroad Charter,
esteeming honesty aud good faith in ail their trans
actions us above all pecuniary price or udvuntage,
will not attempt to ebauge the organization of the
company, or take the control of the churter, except
by a compliance with the conditions contained in
article 39, or with tlie consent of the persons who
controlled and who ftirniahed the charter.
On mot inn of Dr. J. P. Screven, tho sumo was laid
on the table until the ropurt of the Board of Direc-
n should be read.
Col. N. Tift now moved, that he be allowed to en
ter stock represented by him, which was granted.
for, Dr. J. P. Screven, President, roud tbe report,
and also submitted tbe report of the Engineers.
Col. N. Tift offered tho following resolution,
con.led by T. M. Forman:
Resolved, That the report of the Board of Di
rectors, with proposed amendments to the Consti
tution, and the report of Engineers, bo submitted to
a Committeo of livp, to report at an adjourned meet-
ins'. to-morrow, at 19 o’clock.
On motion, was laid on the table.
The following resolution was passed :
By F.S. Bartow, Esq.,seconded by J. Stoddard,
E.q.:
Resolved, That the city of Savannah, and Col.
Tift, for Ins recent subscription of a million and a
half dollars, be excluded from voting at this meet-
‘iir.
Tifft palled for x vote on this resolution by
stock, which was not entertained.
Dr. R. D. Arnold now moved to take up the reso

Geo. tV. Anderson. Esq.
There boing no further business, the meeting ad
journed uutil 10 o’clock to-morrow, to receive the
report of tho CommiUe offivo.
Savannah, May 26,1853.
The meeting was called to order by the Chair, in
accordance to adjournment.
Tha committee of live, through their chairman,
Hon. Johu M. Berrien, presented tho followiug re
port, preamble aud resolutions, with explanatory
remarks:
Tho Committee to whom were referred tho roports
of tho President and Engitioer of tbe Savannah aud
Albany Railroad Company, beg leave to report:
That the Committee met, aud earuostly endea
vored to roconcde tho difference which was mani
fested at tho meeting of yesterday. They have fail
ed to obtain a satisfactory agreement for the control
•of the charter, by a vole of a majority of tlie share
holders, and ufterwhat has occurred during the meet
ing, they led coustraiucd to express tho opinion, that
the subscribers should surrender the eburter to tho
Representatives from Albany. In order that tbero
may be a distinct understanding of. tbe reason, far
the opiuiou above expressed, tbe Committee beg
leave to present a Preamblo und Resolutions, which
u majority of the Comtnittoe agreed upon, as proper
lo be passed by tbe meeting. The geutleman who
daims that the charter should be surrendered to
those who inude the provisional organization, in
case of disagreement, as to the route of tho Road,
declines 10 acquiesce in the view which is taken in
ino said Preamble uud Resolutions, and is not con
tent that the subscribers should exercise the powers
therein set forth.
In view of the difficulties thrown in the way of
proceeding with the groat work of connecting 8*-
Vaunuh with the Gull of Mexico, under the charter
°f the Savannah and Albany Railroad Company,
Hie Committee would earnestly recommend to tlie
dtixeiiH of Savaunab, to assemble in public meet-
in S» to make the necessary arrangements to pro
cure a charier from the next Legislature, to build a
Railroad from Savannah to the southoru or western
boundary, between Georgia and Florida, with a
view to a continuation of the same srme through
Florida Id Pensacola.
The Committee, therefore, recommend tho pas-
sage of the following Resolutions:
1. Resolved, That the subscribers for stock in the
oaviiuuuh uud Albany Railroad Company, hereby
urrender the charter of said Company, into tbe
“bands of the persons who made the provisional

Col. N. Tift, in behalf of the minority, presented
the following report.
MlNOatTV BKPORT DY COL. TIFT.
The Committee, to whom was referred the Re
port of tbe Board of Directors, through their Presi
dent, and accompanying documents—tho proposed
change of the Constitution and By-laws of the Com
pauy, and the Report of the Engineer, havo con
sidered the subject referred, and submit tbe follow-
•eport:
Tim 1
Tbe organization undor which the 9avannah and
Albany Railroad Compauy is uow acting, is a pro
visional organization, and can only take effect, as
aii absolute organization, by u compliance wiili the
conditions expressed in article 36th of the Constitu-
1 and By-Laws, which is in the following words:
36ib. The Savanuuh aud Albany Railroad Com
pany is provisionally orguuized, to take effect as an
absolute organization, only in the event of eighty
thousand shares of stock representing |wo millions
of dollars of the capital, shall be subscribed by the
first day of June, 1853, aud five dollars per share ou
said stock, amounting to an instalment of four hun
dred thousand dollars, shall be paid into the Board
of Directors, within one mouth from the timo when
tho Directors shall give notice of the subscription
of two millions of capital as provided in article 0th.
And if the two roillious of dollars shall uot bo sub
scribed or the payment of tbe first instalment shall
be made at or before the times herein specified,
then this provisional organization shall ceaso and
bo void as though it hud never been formed, uud tho
right to or^uuize the Company shall remain as it
the Company, ut two millions five hundred thousand
dollars; i.nd Article 17th, requires a majority of the
capital stock oftbo Company to be represented, to
make the notion of the stockholders' mooting biud*
ing on the Compauy.
17. "If at any annual or called mooting of stock
holders, a majority of the stock of the Company
shall not be represented, the stockholders present
may, nevertheless, organize and examiue ull tho af
fairs of tiie Cotnpnuy, and may keep a record of
their proceedings us an iuformal mooting; but their
actions shall not biud the Compauy."
A provision in Article Dili, is in the following lan
guage :
“Provided, that, if tho said amount of eighty
thousuud sharoe of the cupitul stock shall not havo
bceu subscribed for, on or before the 1st uuy of
Juue, 1853, the subscribers shall bo released from;
ull liability to pay any part of their subscripiious
and if uuy part has been paid, it shnll be returned
to the subscribers without deduction or charge."
It is evident, from these extracts, that the condi-
jins of the organization have not been complied
with; that tho present meeting of subscribers for
stock, uudur the provisional organization, is not a
meeting of stockholders cupable of biudiog tbe com
pany; that the subscribers for stock are, by the
terms of their subscription, released from all liabili
ty; the whole organization is void by its ow n lipiit-
atiou, aud it would require the consent of both the
subscribers for stock, and tbe bolder* of tbe charter,
to continue tbe present, or to constitute a new or
ganization. We think that either of these alterna
tives is impracticable at present, for the Reason that
a majority of the Savanuuh subscribers are opposed
to constructing a road on tbo line to Albany, as fixed
by the charter, and believed it to be for their intor-
ost to run a Hue southward, in the direotinn of Tal-
luhassee, Florida. Whilst the holders of the char
ter believe it to bo their duty, tbo interest of stock
holders, and vital to the interests of Southwestern
Georgia, thut the road shall bo constructed on the
chartered line to Albany, which is in a direct line to
Mobile and Pensucola, its eventual destination.
Wo concur in the recommendation of tho majori
ty of the committee, that the charter be surrendered
to the persons who formed the present orgaui/.atiou;
and though tho coustructiou of this great work, uud
the hope of Southwestern Georgia, for a direct con-
noctiou with a seaboard market, eeeiu to be deferred
for a time, we bave yet reason to believe, that w5th
a new organization, uud tbe aid of foreign capital,
the road will be commenced and completed within
the lime limited by the charter.
After considerable discussion it was moved by
ilou. J. M. Berrien, seconded bv R. R. Cuyler,
that tlie report of tbe majority committee be adopt
ed, whereupon the following was offered by Col.
Gauldou, as a substitute, and secondod by Col.
Marsh :
Resolved, As tho sense of this mooting, wo will
build the contemplated railroad upon the route sug
gested in the chief engineer's report, vix: the Tal
lahassee route to iheChuttahoochee. This road to bo
deuominated the branch road, at and from tho near
est point that it approaches Albauy. That so soou
it is practicable, and so soou as Albauy or those

persous in that quarter will furnish two-thirds oftbo
means necessary, we will complete the main trunk
to Albany.
The resolution waa lost.
On motion the question was taken on the adoption
vf the report, See., presented by the Hon. J. M.
Berrien, and the same was adopted.
Ou moliou of Dr. Screveu, seconded by R. R.
ing in oue hand the cedar bow aud quiver of stone-
pointed arrows, which they iuvariabiy carry in
peace or wor, aud women of all ages, from sweet
sixteeu (heaven save the mark I) to the grey head
of sixty snows, with their conical basket* bunging
on their backs, pendant by a strap passing over their
foreheads. There was nothing unusual to mark the
men, but many oftbo women were prepared for the
mournful occasion by an external mark of grief.
Their heads aud faces were smeared with bluck
pitch, resembling tar. and their hair, cut short, was
filled with hard black resiu, giving the covering nn
appearance of a skull-cap. Their rendo/.vous was
1 little over a mile from the town, higher up ou the
mouuiain ; and about eight o’clock in the morning,
prompted by curiosity, 1 set out for the scene of
mourning. As I approached the place of moetiug,
by a solitary truil, 1 discovered on the ridge through
the lull dark pines, the glimmering of many fires,
aud soon tho deep cry of wailing reuebed my curs.
In the deep stillness of the night, and ainid the
primeval forest of the mountains, the mournful
sound of their voices producod n strange sensation
which I cannot describe. I almost funciod that the
spirits of the departed were hastening by to meet
again their friends on earth in happy re-uuiou. As
1 drew noarer the sounds became more distinct, and
soon I stood in tbe soleinu assembly. Perhaps four
hundred men, woracu, and children stood together
in a mass, weeping aud wailing in accents of the
most heartfelt sorrow, while clustering around nu
merous fires were hundreds more, who wero either
fntiguod with weeping, or were awaiting their turn
wheu others of their brethren should become ex
hausted. Altogether, there may have been from
eight to ten hundred souls. Without jostling the
mourners, I crowded in among them us far as 1
could get toward the centre, iu order to have a view
of whit was goiug on in the contre of tho crowd. 1
at first thought two chiefs were dancing, for 1 saw
head-dresses with tall feuthers moving lip and down
withtcrpsichoroan undulations,butobtuining a better
position, I- discovered that they wore rudo images
fastened to a board—0110 of red cloth, the other of
white, bound with colored gaitors spirally wound
arouud them; and pendant from what should be
tho breast, hung tho shell of a pearl oyster, which
is among their most valuuble ornaments. These
iniagos were in tho hunds of two squuws, who guve
them the motions of dancing. As they moved
slowl> .ound, tho crowd gave way for them, ex
tending their arms toward tlie iinuges, or throwing
them ovil into vncaucy, uttoring at the same tinio
the most heartfelt sounds of grief, with tears
streaming down their cheeks, which ever and anon
each wiped from tho olhors' eyes. Sometimes one
laid his iiund upon unothor’a head, as if invok-
ing i
blessing. Then, again, extending a naked
with liio hand flat, made “light motions in the
air. Sometimes tho women, in doublo files, with
their arms thrown around tho oue before them,
moved iu procession with the duncing images at
their head, but never proceeded far in a direction
from tbe main body. Their burial ceremonies 1
have described elsewhere, but those should uot be
coufounded with this. AH night long they kept up
their lamentations, and when the morning camt, the
spirits were made happy, mid tho tribes returned
to their several homes. They cornu together in this
way threo or four times a year."
[From Galignani's Messenger, May 0.]
Nnpoleon’t* Tomb.
Tho following description of tho •present state o’
the tomb of the Emperor, will not be without in
terest: During the twelve years that the construc
tion of the tomb of tho Emperor was in contempla
tion, a variety of plans have been considered, and
many of them, after having been commenced, were
afterwards abandoned as not being suited to the pur-
poeo intended. The crypt, which was first formod,
was found uot to lie sufficiently large and deep, and
the enlargement of it required considerable precau
tion in order not to endanger the solidity of the
dome. Tho circular portico limiting tlie space, the
center of which was to be occupied by the sarcopha-
center 01 wnicn was to ue occupied by the sarcopi
gus, had iu tho first place boen couceived with'
any speciul ornamentation, end was intended to bi
remarkable for its extreme simplicity. It was then
thought that this construction, being of sych vast ex
tent, ought to be ornamented with bas reliefs repre
senting Iho civil acts oftbo Emperor; it wes also de
cided that tho pillars supporting the circular en
tablature should bo ornamented with tho represent
ation of different victories. The sarcophagus which
is formed of porphyry, brought from Korchoca,
iu Finland, is of au imposing aud severe form, aud
is completely fiuished, and hearjiAt most extraordi
nary polish. It is four yards long by two wide. It
is lined inside with Corsican granite, in order that
lying iu his coffin, the illustrious deceuscd may, as
it were, reposeon materials brought from hisiiative
soil. The tomb is raised ou a foundation of granite
from the Vosges. The cover, which is supported
by woodwork, is brought as near an possible to the
sarcophagus, and has only to bo pushed on horizon
tally in order to cover it. On entering the church
from the south door, on the place Vauhun, the Dome
de Mansard is seen ut one coup d'tril. In ap
proaching nearer is seen the crypt, surrouuded with
a rather massive bulustrade. From the midst of
marbles of extreme whiteness, stands up iu bold re
lief the sarcophagus, reposiug ou a pavement of mo
saics of extreme richness. Beyond the crypt rises
the high uhar, surmounted by an immense canopy;
all this part of the decorations is composed of color
ed marbles, which have the most superb effect. Tho
altar is surmounted by a statue of our Saviour ou
the cross, sculptured by M. Triquetti. Scmi-eircu-
lur staircases turning tn tbe right and left lend to the
door of uuother stoircaso, which lends directly to
the crypt. This part of tho monument, which is
conceived iu grand proportions, is turned towurds
tho nave of the church. On tho sides of the door,
which is iu brouzo stand two figures of old men,
composed as caryatides, and by which is intended
to personify in some degreo the military and civil
glory of the Eiupcror. Over the entrance are writ
ten the following lines, which express the Ia6t wish
es of Napoleon: *‘Js desire que mes ctndree re-
posent sur Us rives de lit Seine ou milieu du
ptuple Francaise que jai tant aimi." On tho right
and left of the open space before the entrance of the
monument are the tombs of Bertrsud and of Duroc,
worthy guardians of the man whom they so faithful
ly sorvod. The sarcophagus bears uo nmne in
scribed ou it, aud it is that which surrounds it which
gives its signification to the tomb. Tbe twelve eiu-
blomatical representations of victories, the names
of battles inscribed on the pavement, tno bas-relief*
intended to call to miud the principal acts of im
perial administration—this union of military and
civil eovonirs, ull equally glorious, and in the center
the isolated tomb, such is what constitutes in its
ensemble the monument of the Emperor. The ten
bas-reliefs of the circular portico have been execu
ted by M. Simart. One of them reproteut* a figure
iu an antique dress, haviug in front two females,
representing the Roman aud Galtican Church, who
are giving their baud to each other, and in tlie cor
ner is a man raising across. Under this composi
tion is engraved tlie word “ Concordat." The oiher
bas-reliefs represent the Cour de Cotnptes, the uni
versity, centralization, the legion of honor, the
couucil of state, groat public works, commerce, man
ufactures and the Codo Napoleon. In the center of
tbo clitinibor, called the Chamber de l’Epfie or du
Reliquaire, is a kind of cippus, huving a compart
ment of bronze in tbe form of a cushion, on which
will bo deposited the eword of Austorlitz, and the
iuterior of which will receivothe hat of the Emper
or, bis cross of honor and his crown. To the right
and loft will be grouped the colors taken in the wars
of the Empire. At the end of this funeral chamber,
which will bo lighted by a lamp, isthe marble statUT
of Napoleon in a stauding position, covered with .he
imperial mantle, and holding a scepter and a globe.
Tbo public will never be allowed to enter this room,
and the iuside of it will only be viewed through the
grating of the door.

.tro.ta of oar little tows wereaUrc with tnsn, hejd-
she cried, looking up in hor husband's fuce :
tho way it bas coino is so lunny!’’ The stern farm
er replied, that he could see uo Am Inlhaving other
people’s brats thrust upon him; but his grumbling
ws* bushed by the benevolent woinau, whose whole
soul went forth in-kindness towards the little help
less creature—evidently
old—thus cast on her maternal
ing the displeasure of Mr. May,
Mrs. May readily egreod to the generous propo
sal ; the farmer sold out, and removed to what was
the territory of Michigan. Wo will now take up
auother portion of tbe Mery.
In one of the Eastern cities, a Mr. L~, and
Miss C——, both of highly respectable families, hud
funned a matrimonial engagement with their
parents' consent. But a wealthier suitor come, to
whom the fotber, a stern and violent man, deter
mined to wed his daughter. Tho lovers wore se
cretly married, and arrangoinonts wero made with a
ruspoctacle family goiug to Missouri, to take Hie
bride with them, the husband who called himself
her brother, promised to join them shortly. Ho left
tho city some time before MissC——disappear-
and all believed that ho had gone
age. Soou after leaving home, Mis* C— wrote to
inform her parents she was safe with friends, and
tied to avoid a compulsory marriage.
After a journey or several weeks, tlie young cou
ple arrived at St. Louis. Notwitbstaudiug the
pains taken to couceal their movements, in a few
months the father leurucd that his daughter was in
the western country, and wrote to her that her
mother, almost heart broken at her loss, hid fallen-
into ill Itenlth. Since^ply regretting his own un
feeling cooduol, ho eutreatod her to return in the
spring, at which time be would send for her, having
uo suspicion that she was married. Ti.is letter was
received by Mrs. L a short time previous to the
birth of an infant, who was no other thau the found
ling aforementioned. Sho resolved to set off on her
homeward journey as soon ns her strength permit
ted. A journey in the spring, at that period, from-
8t. Louis to Pittsburg, was both difficult nud dan
geious; Mr. L. expected to return, and he thought
it best to leave their child, urging that tbo parents
of bis wife would be more readily conciliated by
her returning apparently as she hud left them ; ex
plaining all when she could choose a favorable time
for so doing. The young mother could uot bear the
thought of parting with her little nuo; but fooling
that she could never forgive herself should her mo
ther dio before «ho couiu return to receive her for-
giveno»8 and blessing, it eupeured her duty to sac
rifice her own feelings, anil she at last consented.
Then occurred tho question—with whom could
the precious babe bo trusted ? The inhabitants of
the place were mostly French, and they kuew no
trustworthy person who could be iirevM'led on to
take charge of it. A young nun, Air. L ’s only
intimate friend, was acquainted with Air. and Mrs.
Afay, ami suggested that thoy would bo certain to
treat the child wi.’h all the tenderness its own pa
rents could lavish on it, ft their humanity were ap
pealed to in its behalf as a deserted foundling. Ho
engaged to deposit the infant, with all due circum
stances of mystery, at their door, and report the
muuner of its receptiou; also to look after it faith
fully in the absence of its parents.
The inothor consented to the romantic scheme,
and, packing the ba»b*t with as many clothes as it
would hold—placing iu the bottom a purse full of
money—she aet out with her husband aud his friend
in the night, for Mny's house. Within a short dis
tance of this they stopped, and with foreboding uu-
guish, both kissed the baby's smooth cheek, and re
signed it to their friend, endeavoring to console
themselves with the bvlief, that a year at the fur
thest, would restore their darling to their arms. Iu
a few days their friend called on Air. Aluy, saw how
well the child was doing, heard the foster-mother
say she loved and would cherish it as her own, and
made a satisfactory report to its anxious parents.
Air. and Mrs. L immediately set oil' for the
East, separating a few days before their arrival at
the house of the wifo’a father. Sho was joyfully
welcomed, and Mr. L soon after received a let
ter luviting him to join her.
It was now about the commencement of the war
with Grout Britain, and as it wus known that the
Indians would be troublosomc on the frontier, it was
arranged that Air. L should go immediately to
the West, and bring the child to its mother. He
reached «*t. Louis at a limn when a general panic
on account of the Indian*, hud scattered the inhabi
tants. His friend had joined the rangers, ar.J could
no where be found : Mr. May's family had taken re
fuge in forts; aud tho most diligent inquiries failed
in procuring tho desired information. After some
narrow cscupes from tbo Indians, ho was obliged to
abandon the search, and return disappointed and
dispirited to h)s unhappy wife. An the end of the
wurfdioth set out for tho West, and lauded at Shuw-
neetown. From this poiut thoy travelled i orthward
through Illinois, making diligent inquiries in every
direction; for the hope of finding the lost one was
not yet extinct in the mother’s breast.
After travelling through the country for nearly a
vear, they discovered May’s residence, and had tlm
happiness of embracing the child whom soparatiou
had the more endeared to them. She wus even more
beautiful than the promiso of her infancy, and very
happy with hor kind fostftV-parcnts, who had been
preserved and prospered through all the troubles
and dangers, by which they had been surrounded.
Mr. May was ono or the most thriving farmer* of
Michigan. This litllo romantic episode iu his his
tory uiay not be known to bis neighbors—for ho was
never very communicative—but it was the ground
of a lasting friendship between his family and that
oftbo little adopted one ; both acknowledging from
it a profitable lesson in life.

Matters went on thus for two or three years, and

little girl with an indifference, amounting to dislike,
and manifested annoyance particularly when his
wife would tell bar vLiters tbe child's brjel history—
