A PIT LANS.—I went the other day to see a widow
. woman who has a tiny farm; Mr. H. gave her a lamb a
month ago, and this lamb is quite a sight, for it was put
Into a ' pightle" with a eow, and soon smelt out the
milk, and helped itself whenever it had a fancy. The
• woman wondered to see the lamb growing such a
• 'monster, and could not think what had come to her cow
that it yielded leas milk than usual; at last she began to
!inspect something was wrong, for the cow was always
licking the lamb, and kept it as white as driven snow;
so she set a watch, and soon caught the lamb sucking,
whereupon she separated them' and had such work with
_ them she did not know what to do. The cow was frantic'
Ilind would neither eat nor sleep, but ran about like a
wild thing, whilst the lamb cried night and day, and
the woman had to pet it and nurse it herself. So there
it's running about at the woman's heels quite • pet, and
, such a monster for its age; she saya it would break her
heart and that of her children to sell the lamb, so she
inteoils keeping it, and one day making money of its
lambe.-11—(Agricioltatrei Gazette.)
