Think- ' ' ing tliat l bo poor-box which slic had 11 seen in the church of St. Hock was the , letter box of God, she took an opportu- ' ' , is'ity of s'enling quietly out of the room I and running off to tbe cHtircli. While " . : looking around to see that no one was , ! near, an elderly lody noticed her uiuvoi ; ments, a»d thinking she was at some ' rl mischief, stopped her and iaqnired what ! she was doing. After some hesitation she confessed the object of her visit to . ! the church, and showed the letter. The i lady tuok it, and promised the child ; ! that she would take core that it should' ; , ! reach iu destination, asking al the same ' , \ time to what address the answer must ^ be sent, which tho child gave, aud re : I, cMmted home with a 'light heart. On i the following morning, on opening tit* t ' door of the room, she found a large bss- 1 9 1 ket filled with different articles of wearjjteg apparel, sugar, money, Ac., the' b i whole pecked up w'ith ■ direction card, e on whidi was written ' R*tj>oHee da bom . 9 ■ Vittc.' vJogie liours after a medical man - also came to give advice."
