Mary's Little Lamb,

THE TRUE STORY OF THE YOUNG SHEEP.
The true story of the " Mary's little
lamb, " is thus unfolded by correspon
dent of the Springfield Republican, who
says that the incident happened 81 years
ago -
1t was when | was nine years old"
she said, and we lived upon the farm.
used to 60 out to the barn every morn
ing with father to see the cows and sheep
They all knew me, and the cows, old
Broad and Short-horn and Brindle,
would low good-morning when | came
to their stables. One cold day we found
that during the night twin lambs had
been born. You know that sheep will
often disown one Of twins, and this
morning one poor little lamb was push
ed out of the pen into the yard. 1t was
almost starved and almost frozen, and
father told me | might have it if | could
make it live So | took il into the house
wrapped it in blanket, and fed it on
hot peppermint and milk all day. When
night came | could not bear to leave il
for fear it would die, SO mother made
me up little bed on the settle, and |
nursed the little thing all night, feeding
it with spoon, and by morning it could
stand. After this we brought it up by
hand until it grew to love me very much
and would stay with me wherever
went, unless it was tied. | used before
going to school in the morning to see
that the lamb was all right and securely
fastened for the day. Well, one morn
ing when my brother Nat and / were
all ready, the lamb could not be found,
and, supposing that it had gone out to
pasture with the cows, we started on.
l used to be a great singer, and the
lamb would follow the sound of nv
voice. This morning after we had gone
some distance, | began to sing, and the
lamb hearing me, followed on and over
took us before we got to the school
house. As it happened, we were early,
so ! went in very quietly, took the lamb
into my seat, where it went to sleep, and
| covered it up with my shawl. When
the teacher came and the rest of the
scholars, they did not notice anything
amiss, and all was quiet until my spell
ling class was called. | had hardly ia.
ken my place before the patting of lit
tie feet was heard coming down the aisl
and the lamb stood beside me ready for
its word. OF course the children all
laughed too, and the poor creature had
to be turned out of doors But il kept
coming back, and at last had to be tied
in the wood shed till night. Now, that
day, there was young man in school.
John Roulston by name, who was on a
visit to one of the boys, and came as a
spectator. He was Boston boy and
son of the riding school master. and was
fitting for Harvard College. He was
very much pleased over what he saw in
our school, and few days after gave us
the first three verses of the song. How
or when it got into print don't know"

A Forger Wanted.

Charles c. johnson, who recently
swindled certain parties in Rutland by
means of forged checks, does not seem
to have confined his operation to that
place. The following dispatch of the
9th, from Chester, to the Boston papers,
shows that he is an old hand at the
business
Postmaster Maxfield has just received
a letter from parties in Duluth, Mimi,
asking information as to the whereabouts
of one Charles c. johnson, recently of
this town and Boston, who passed a
forged check there, bearing the name Of
Dunn & Champion, Rutland, VT, for
the sum of 5000. This johnson proves
to be noted rascal. He surreptitiously
obtained bank check book, and has
been filling out the same and receiving
money thereon. There are number of
his victims in this immediate vicinity.
He attempted, early this fall, to obtain
large sum of money upon the strength
of claim which be professed to have
against the Middlesex railroad company
representing that he bad sold them one
half of the patent right of car starter
for $4,000 Upon investigation the
whole transaction proves to be a fraud
on the part of johnson. A few years
ago he was tax collector for the town of
Springfield, Vt, and while acting as
such embezzled large sum of the town
money. He is wanted in this State to
answer to number of forgeries which
he has committed here.

BAD LANGUAGE.-Ba language east
ly runs into bad deeds. Select any soci-
ETY. you please; suffer yourself to con-
verse in its dialect, to use its slang, to
speak in the character of those who rel
ish it, and | need not tell how soon
your moral sense will lower down to its
level. Becoming intimate with it YOU
lose your horror of it. To be too much
with bad men and bad places, is not only
unwholesome to a mans morality. but
uniavorable to bis faith and trust in God
1t is not every man who could live as
Lot did in Sodom, and then be fit to 90
out of it under Gods convoy. This OBJ
vious principle of itself, furnishes a rea-
son for not only watching the tongue.
but for keeping ourselves as much as
possible out of the company of bad as
sociates.

To GET RID OF STUMPs. DIR. Grass,
living near CRANKY, Missouri, who is
clearing up new farm, has been troub-
led with a large number of big oak
stumps. He had heard that saitpetre
was good for stumps. Accordingly a
couple of months ago he sprinkled on
the top of each stump a tablespoonful of
pulverized saltpetre. A few days ago he
set fire to these stumps, and says they
commenced and continued to burn until
every stump was entirely consumed, roots
and all, so that he was able to pillow with
out the least difficulty over the very
ground formerly occupied by these large
stumps. He says some of the stumps
burned four or five days Farmers, try
the doctors remedy; he says it will not
fail. The doctor also says that if your
cabbage plants are troubled with little
black bugs you can save every one of
them by sprinkling them lightly with
cayenne pepper. Use an ordinary table
