Lord Rosebery’s Kindness.

A pretty instance of Lord Rosebery’s thoughtfulness must not pass unrecorded. On his way back from Cardiff to London he espied on the Swindon platform, during a ten minutes’ halt, a poor little child, sobbing as if her heart would break. He got out and asked what was the matter. “I want to go to Bradford,” was the piteous cry; so Lord Roseberry coaxed the grief-laden little creature till he elicited from her the tale of her woes. She had been sent alone on a long journey, had passed the junction where she should have changed, and was stranded hundreds of miles from her destination. Needless to say, she went on her right way with full purse and light heart under the special charge of the guard.— London Lady.
