General, confirms the impression that
the Cabinet will be made Stalwart, as

they will be pOwerless, even If so dis

the time the summer came, it was begin
ming to pick the blades of tender, sweet
grass.
1t would make our story too long to
tell you of all the lambs pretty gambols,
and the delight of kind Nellie Dutton
when it skipped about after her where
ever she went. The next summer it had
a good fleece to be shorn, that, when it
was spun, made plenty of warm stockings
for Nellie and her mother, as well as
some to sell and the next spring after
that, 10 and behold there were two more
little lambs, and the kind Mr.. Mayfeld,
who knew Mrs. Dutton, and helped her
in many ways, gave Nellie grass on his
sheep-walk for her little flock, and
offered to buy them all from her. Nell
lie sold the two babies, but the mother
she would not part with. The lamb
brought prosperity to the widow and her
child.
Kindness to animals is the sign of a
gentle, loving disposition, and it is pleas
ing in the eyes of Him whose tender
mercies are over all His works.

Nellie buttons Lamb.

Little Nellie Dutton was only seven
years old when she lost her father, who
had been a shepherd to rich sheep
master on the Cheviot Hills. His widow
was very sad and very poor, and had a
hard struggle to support her one orphan,
Nellie, who was too young to help her
much. But Nellie knew the Good Shep
herd who gave His life for the sheep, and
prayed to Him to make her one of the
lambs of His flock.
She and her mother lived in a little
cottage on the outskirts of the moor,
where she kept goat and few hens.
Mrs. Dutton knitted stockings for tt e
farmers wives, and sometimes helped in
their dairy work in the busy summer
time, and in the evening she taught Mel
lie to read in her fathers Bible. Nellie
used to help her by picking up frewood
and heritage for the goat, and by wind
ing the wool by knitting When she
was between nine and ten years old, she
was sweeping away the snow from the
doorway one very cold morning in Feb
ruary, when a drover passed the door
with his flock, and in his arms was poor
little weak lamb, just born, that looked
ready TO die with cold.
The drover had known Nellie's father :;
so he spoke kindly to her, and seeing how
pitifully she looked at the little lamb, he
said: Here, Nellie, take this poor
thing, it won't live an hour, but it will
make stew for you and your mother"
and SO saying, he put it in her arms, and
hurried on his flock, which the sheep
dog was driving through the snowy road
to market. Nellie was filled with 10y at
the thought of having the lamb for her
very own, and she'hurried into the cot
tage to her mother.
80 mother" she said, "see what
have got Sandy, the drover, gave it to
me to make stew. He said it was dy-
ing; but if we warm little milk for it,
and keep it by the fire, maybe it would
recover. Mrs. Dutton had Just boiled
some milk and poured it on some bread
for Nellie's breakfast, and she said, "
have no more milk, Nellie"
90 III share my breakfast with my
little pet" said Nellie and so saying,
she sat down by the blazing wood fire,
on her stool, and wrapping the lamb in
warm old shawl, she took it up in her
lap, opened its mouth with her finger,
and by degrees got few spoonfuls of
the warm milk down its throat, and
after a little the heat and food revived
it, and it opened it's eyes and gave a
feeble little "ma a. This was sweet
music to Nellie's ears; and squeezing her
bits of bread out Of the basin, and eating
them herself, she kept the milk by the
fire, and every half hour gave a spoonful
or two to little Flossy-as she called her
pet-and by evening it was able to stand
on its legs without nursing at night il
was wrapped up warmly by the fire.
place. Her care was successful; for
every day it grew stronger, and soon fol-
lowed her about like little dog, and by
