I thought 1 would take him to tlgrocery, but when I got started I thought I might as well take him borne, and did so. 1 didn't think it wns stealing to take my own-boy for I knew nothing of the law about such matters. The way the child became an in mate of the Asylum was this: About a year ago a woman who said she was an agent of the Asylum came and asked me if 1 didn't think it better to have the child sent to the Orphan Asylum, where it would get good care. This was right after ray wife died. At.

first I thought be would be well enough enred for by my little girl, who is 13 years old, but the woman came three or four times, and I let her have him. I had seven children. The oldest girl died, three are Rt iny pister's-in-law near Tonawanda, and two with 1 am a cooper, and make enough to take enre of them, and wouldn't have thought of the Asylum unless the woman had come so many times." Mr. Krabbel is a good-looking German of about 50 years of age, well dressed and quite in- telligent and seems hurt to think that he should be charged with stealing when he thought it no crime to take possession of his own child.

Shelton was blessed-with a- cheerful kindly, disposition, and in the hope of a happy life to come she bore without complaint the illness that ended her mortal days. The aged rector, trembling now-with the infirmities of his own age, feels with double keenness the bereavement that leaves him almost alone, but with the fortitude which has always been a part of his character faces his sorrow, and is grateful for the loving sympathy of his thousands of friends in and out of St. Paul's parish.
