GRATITUDE OF A GoAT. "A gentleman who
had taken an active share in the rebellion of
Ills, escaped after the battle of Preston and
sought refuge ut lady's house; she caused
him To be conducted to cave, and supplied
him with provisions When he reached e
centre Of the cave he found an obstacle; he
drew his dirk, but unwilling to strike lest he
lht take the life of II companion, he stoop
ed down, and discovered Il goat with her kid
stretched on the ground. He perceived that
the animal was in pain, and a-certained that
her leg was fractured lie bound it up, and
offered her share of the bread beside him :;
but she stretched out her tongue to appri.e
him that her mouth was parched with thirst,
he gave her water, which she took readily,
and then ate some bread After midnight he
ventured out of the cave; all was still; he
pucked an armful of grass, and cut tender
twigs, which the goat accepted with joy and
thankfulness Tue prisoner derived much
comfort from having livil creature in this
dungeon. and he caressed and fed her ten
derry.
The man who was entrusted to bring him
supplies fell sick and when another attempt
ed TO penetrate into the cavern, the goat flu
riously opposed him, presenting her horns in
all direc ions, till the fugitive hearing dis
turbanee, came forward.
This new attendant giving the watchword,
removed every doubt of his good intentions,
and the Amazon of the rece obeyed her
benefactor in permitting him TO advance.
The gentleman was convinced that had a band
of military attacked the cavern, his grateful
patient would have died in his defence.
