The Mary who chad a little lamb
is still living, if American Notes and
Queries can be believed. About
seventy years ago, says that journal,
she was a little girl, the daughter Of
d farmer in WOrechester County,
Massachusetts,. She was fond of
going with her father into the field
to see the sheep, and one day they
found a baby lamb which they
thought to be dead. Kind-hearted
little Mary, however, lifted it up in
her arms, and, as seemed to breathe,
she carried it home, made it a warm
bed near the stove, and nursed it

after weeks Of careful feeding and
watching, her little patient began
to grow well and strong, and soon
after it was able to run about. 1t

Many a man fails because he has

and his mind not being diverted to
other arts familiar to it, could work
constantly and attentively for that

where the dog was growing. Seeing
no one; he entered, and hearing the
