A Mother's Love.

An exchange tells the following: Last Spring a little babe was left at the residence of Uriah B. Garman, in Harrisburg. They accepted the little stranger and did for it all that kindness could do, and it throve until a few weeks ago, when it had an attack of cholera infantum, and last week it died. The night after its death, about eleven o'clock a man and woman came to Garman's door and asked to see the babe. After entering the house they introduced themselves as the father and mother of the child. The couple were richly dressed and gave every evidence of belonging to upper classes of society. The woman cried over the corpse and called it "her baby," and the man appeared almost equally moved. They ordered a nice coffin, and all arrangements to be made first-class. The woman explained that she wanted to keep the child but her mother would not have the scandal, and insisted on its being put in other hands. It is supposed the couple are either married or will be and that the child was born out of wedlock, though belonging to such a class of "blue-blooded" society that the parents of the girl could not bear the idea of having their circle known of the daughter's misfortune. They departed as they came and are unknown.
