When was very young,
But mem'ry still around my heart
Like morning mist has hung.
They tell me Of an aged form
That watched around my bedl
And of soft and quiet hand
That wiped the tears shed.
With smiles she held my tiny arm,
When began to walk;
Aud Joy would sparkle in her eyes
When l would try to talk.
And often. too, when was ill,
She kiss'd my burning brow.
Her tears would fall upon my cheek
think l feel them now.
And then she used to kneel with me,
And teach me how to pray,
And raised my little hands to heaven,
And tell me what to say.
o mother, mother, in my heart
Thy image still shall be;
And may hope in heaven at last,
TO meet and live with thee

animal is certainly full Of interest, and there
are many well attested facts in relation to him
that almost induces one to believe that there
is something more in this species than belongs
10 the mere animal. There has been various
anecdotes published, Illustrating his power
and services-but we have never read any
more striking than those given by Hogg. and
Eurick shepherd, He had opportunities OF
Witnessing the exploits Of the dog, and he
has given such evidence Of his exploits. as
will carry the shepherds dog down TO poster
ity, as long at least as the memory Of the Et-
trick shepherd shall exist. We give the &C
count as near as we can recoIect it, of dog
by The name Of "Sirrah." which belonged to
the 8. E,tfick shepherd
He described him as the best dog he ever
saw. He was of an unsoclal temper, could
not be latiered, and would not be caressed.-
still his attention 10 his masters commands
and to his interests, almost exceeds belief
Hogg first saw him with drover, aud though
he was not handsome animal, he thought he
could discover sort of sulen intelligence in
his face, and he bought him for guinea, and
he said he never laid out guinea TO so good
purpose. He was not a year old. and had
never been trained 10 take care Of sheep-but
as soon as he discovered what was wanted CT
him, his eagerness 70 do what was required Of
him was astonishing. He would try every
way until he found what was desired Of him
and when he once ascertained it, he never
forgot or misiook it afterwards. When hard
pressed, he frequently astonished his master
by the performance of fea,s which bespoke a
great share Of the reasoning faculty.
The following is one of his exploits: Some
600 or 700 lambs, which were under his care
at the weaving season, broke up at midni ght
and fed ia three divisions to the hills, in spite
of all tie exertons OF the shepherd and his
assistants. 'Sirrah,' cried the shepherd, my
man they've AVA The night was so dark
that lie did not see SiIrah, but the animal
heard his masters call-and the words were
such as were sure 10 put him on the look out,
and he silently set off in ques: of the scatter
ed flock. The shepherd and his assistants
spent the night in endeavoring to find the lambs
and traversed miles to no effect; neither the
lambs nor Sirrah were TO be found.
Day dawned and The shepherd, discouraged
and disheartened. started home to inform lis
master Of the loss of his flock of lambs.--
While on the way home, he discovered
body Of lambs at the bottom Of very deep
ravine. and Sirrah standing in front of them,
looking wishfulIy abound for help.
The shepherd supposed this was only one
Of the divisions which had fed in the night
but what was his establishment when he dis
covered that not one lamb of the whole flock
was wanting? How he brought the lambs
together in The dark is most surprising. He
had the charge of them from midnight ill SIM
rise. and all the shepherds of Scotland could
not have effected il with more propriety.
This is but one Of the many feats which
Sirrah performed. and well might his master
say, he was the best dog he ever saw
