The following anecdote Of Canada
goose is so extraordinary, that am aware
it would with difficulty gain credit, were
not whole parish able to vouch for the
truth of 1t. The Canada geese are not
fond of poultry yard, but are rather Of
rambling disposition. One Of these
birds, however, was observed to attach
itself, in the stronges and most affection
ate manner to the house dog. and would
never GUT the kennel except for the pur-
pose of feeding, when it would return
again Immediately. 1t always sat by tie
dog. but never presumed to 90 ln:o the
kennel, except in rainy weather. When.
ever the dog barkcd, the goose would
cackle and run at the person she suppos-
sed the dog barked at, and Try to bite him
tempt to feed with the dog but this the
dog, who treated his faithful companion
rather with indifference would not permit.
This bird would not go to r0ost with the
others at night unless driven by main
force; and when in the morning she was
turned into the field, she would never stir
from the yard gate, but sit there the whole
day in sight of the dog. At last, orders
were given that she should be no longer
molested, but suffered to accompany it as
she liked. Being thus left to herself, she
ran about the yard with him all the night;
and what is particularly extraordinary,
and can be attested by the whole parish,
whenever the dog went out of the yard
and ran into the village, the goose always
accompanied him, conriying to keep up
with him by the assistance of her wings !
and in this way Of running and flying,
followed him all over the parish. This
extraordinary affection Of the goose to-
wards the dog, which continued TO his
death, two years after it was first ohser-
we'd, is supposed TO have originated from
his having accidentally saved her lrotH a
fox in the very moment of distress,
While the dog was i'll, the goose never
quilted him day or night, no! even "a
feed; and it was apprcbemded she would
have been starved to death, had not orders
been gwen for a pan of corn to be set
every day close to the kennel. At this
time the goose generally sat in the ken
mel, and would not suffer any one to ap.
proach, except the person who brough,
the dogs or her food. The end of this
faithful bird was melancholy; for when
the dog died, she would still keep posses
sion of the kennel and new house-dog
was introduced. which in size and Color
resembIed tha, lately lost the poor goose
was rnblppdy deceived, and, going into
the kennel AS usual, the new inhabllan
seized her by the throat, and killed her.

"TIIuS TIME LAST YEAR,

This time last year--ths time last year,
How many gentle face was near
All smiling round the festive board,
All rivals for the kindest word

And make him feel his welcome sweet.

With care and sadness fill nay hruw:
In vain through sorrows gloon trace
For that dear, happy, look 'dior face,
When side by side, each day more near,
Heart chung to heart, " this tina last yea"
Those sunny moments now are past,

THE ISLAND OF MACKINAW

In the midst of the Lakes there's beautiful isle
Where the clear waters leap and the moon beams
smile;
Where the breezes of summer are softIiest blown
And the accents of Lovers are sweetest in tone
Where the fresh cheek Of youth is the lairest in
bloom
And the stern eye of age dims the last for the tomb
Where the sun as he mounts to his noon in the sky
Filings joy from his beams and brings hope III his
eve,
And the beauties of Nature all scattering lie.
Where the vorAGEuRs song enlivens the
And the Indian barque is turned on the shore;
Where the red-man's triumphs are honored and
sung
And he dreams Of the days when his nation was
young
When in freedom he danced DER the wave and the
foam
And he looked on the land and he felt twas his
But the pulse of the sleeper beats family and low
And his sleep is disturbed by the dream of his
For the affairs his fOreathers raised by the shore
With the Gods they came carly ard late to adore;
And the mounds where they slept-and the funeral
pile
AL all have been swept from great MANIro's isle.
Three Soverelgns have swayed DER that adamant
rock
spot
There the Britain reposes-(O light be the turf
on his breast)
And the sons Of young freedom are laid down TO
rest
There the bones of the redman are bleaching and
bare
And the gay son of France is now moulderng
there
There the shrek of the eagle the bird Of the brave
Ever sounds, from his eyre, far over the wave.
There our freedom is nursd mid HespcTan seas
And the flag ofour country floats out to the breez =
There the mariners brow by the wild breeze is
fannd
And the wave dies in music on the pearly white
sand
There the soft breath Of poesy swells into song
And the voice of tradition goes bounding along
And the sun with regret casts his lingering ray
AS he sinks To his rest at the closing Of day
Oh. may Heavens best blessing long rest on that
isle
To gil it with glory and wreathe it with smiles.
