you forget those far-off days, in which
"Mary had little lamb"
If this lamb had not departed in curly
youth. it would. l presume, have become
an ordinary sheep. The lamb had, how.
ever. the good sense to refuse ehcephood,
thereby achieving for himself an immortal
ity Of playful innocence profoundly touch
ing to all hearts that have been young.
Poor Mary was left alone with the fleece.
This, at the suggestion Of her grandmoth-
or, she fabricated into pair Of superla-
lively fine hose. which for many years she
kept close to her-no, mistake, it was
not the stockings but the miniature of m.
other pet which she kept there. In fact,
the prominent figures in Mary's history
form a series of pets, sometimes quadru-
ped but generally bipedsl. 1t is true that
they did not all die young. There was
the handsome captain. who went off and
married the pretticst girl in the village,
and the merchant who spoiled his com.
plexior by drinking water favored with
brandy, besides the six others who replied
to Mary's brothers demand for an explain
alton that they never intended their attcn-
lions to BE- serious. Mary, however, had
tho happy faculty Of refusing place in
her memory to anything subsequent to thu
pet lamb stage Of her favorites, hence the
long gallery ofeiglty years was filed with
pictures incapable Of producing an acid
disposition. The future world was to her
but sublimation of what had been beau
tiful and pure and loving in her life. She
had proved the truth of the great moral as.
scrtion, that we are rich in what we give.
not in what we receive. But l am writ
ing of tombstones, not of pet lambs.
Legendary lore informs us, that once
upon a time the dsnizens of church-yard,
mistaking the new organ for the last
trump, arose en- masse to meet their final
doom. Discovering their mistake. and
attempting to return to their respective
domicils. they carefully read all the stones.
and although they could find their names,
the list Of virtues attributed to said names
was 30 numerous that they could not con-
scientifically lay claim to tithe of them.
