MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB" ("

Gunhild OF Bathstead-dsughter of Gudarm,

What time an eight day infant to the font
They bore her, as was ancient use and wont
Among Norse-folk, who ever used to say,
lll-hsps as gossips waited on delay.
Now lithesome, gleefui, fair WAS she and tall,
Able to range alone, and loving all
Innocent pastimes. Most she counted dear,
snow-whIte lamb, which followed her anear.
So to the little lowly cot, where came
Unto the tendance Of an outland dame
The many children of the neighbOr farms,
Their satchels filled With these Gunhilda .red.
While after her, cropping the green. unscared
At the sound of voice, with recognizing bleats,
Followed the lamb. Then to the oaken seats,
Filed in with curt'sy, each discipulA
Greeting. as in she went. the DONNA.
Short time endured the lamb such loneliness
Waiting without, and presently gan press
His forehead 'gsinst the unlatched door, and then
Pushed with impatient foot, and pushed again,
And ere the earliest task were duly said,
Thrust in head and neck engarlanded
Then with uncertain, pattering steps began
To tread the floor, at seeing which, there ran
A half-hushed litter from lip to lip
Of all the rosy. fresh hued scholarship;
And shy.faced little ones peeped up and caugh,
Glee from their elders, eyes and looks distraught
Upon the dunce-stool, rs if he essayed
Thereon to mount and show his lack of wit,
Yet knew not rightly how to compass it,
Then bubbled up the laughter unrestrained,
And e'en the Domino no longer feigned
The formal sternness which beseemed her rule
Seeing such unused presence in her school.
Yet bade she put him forth, and bar the door
Securely, till at noon the tasks were o'er,
So did the school resume its drowsy head,
Or numbers droned and sy llablss reread
But when the hot noon called then out Of door,
Cropping the daisies was the lamb once more
Who. with brisk bounds, to his dear mistress
came;
Much marvelled then to see the beast 30 tame
The rest, then questioned the DONNA,
"Why loveth so the lambkin Gunhllda?''
Whereat the dame, seeking moral nigh,
Made answer to the eager children's cry:
"Gunhild doth love the lamb, you know, an,
hence
| You still may bind in loving confidence
| Each gentle animal. If it but find
Unto its gentlsness that you are kind,
And IN such ways is given the device
To win once more the Earthly Paradise.''

We learn from letter written Us a
short time ago (Which we have not
been able to publish for want 0fspaes)
that the farmers living on the margin
Of the bottoms Of Green river and
Rough creek, in the vicinity Of Point
Pleasant, have combined together and
fenced in a mammoth pasture. 1t
embraces 1000 acres in the point be-
tween Rough creek and Green river,
extending up Rough creek Is miles,
and up Green river 2 miles. A lzrgs
portion OE.ths land fenced up AbOunds
in the very, finest eape. The fencing
up produced considerable excitement.
For many years persons not owning
any land in this boundary have been
in tRe habit Of driving stock into thu
cane range to winter, much to tbs
disadvahtage of the oWDsrs, of 4said
land, especially in times of high water
this stock would crowd up around the
fences nearest the bottOm and trouble
he farmers very much. For three OIL
four yeqs spectators wOald buy stOcl
and drive there to winter, with q view
Ofsellils e next simmer at pref
on the increase derived by the feeding
on cane al wiptst. The associatiOl
elected three directors to control tn,
pasture, who have determined h
charge one dollar per head for all cat
tie pastured there; not owned BY mem
ben Of the association. The excite
me0t has died out and quiet reigns.
