Selling Her Hair.

I found a sweet little girl at Monroe, while I was in North Carolina, whose name was Fairfax Payne. Not long ago she became troubled because the money had given out and the little church was unfinished. So she begged her mother to let her cut off her beautiful hair and sell it. She had read about a girl selling her hair for S2O, and at last the little giirl’s mother consented, and the hair was sent North to the editress of Harper's Young People, with a timid little letter, and the Harpers advertised it, and told how the money was to be used, and published the little girl’s letter, and while I was there the contributions that had already come in from the kind-hearted people up North amounted to over S2OO, and they were still coming.— Atlanta Constitution.
