In the western part of Massachusetts,
a man had a fine stock farm. But a
few weeks & a fire broke out in the
barn, and burned not only the building,
and the hay, but most of the animals
also. After the fire the owner walked
over the ruins. It was a sad sight to
see the charred bodies of his fine Jersey
cows and his h~igh-spirited horses. But
at the end of the barn he saw a sight
which touched him more than the rest.
There sat an old black hen. He won
dered that she did not move her head to
look ut him as he came near, but he
thought she must be asleep. He poked
her with his cane. and to his surprise
the wing he touched fell into ashes.
Then be knew she had been burned to
death. But out from under her wing
came IL faint peep, and pushing her aside
with his can the man found-what do
you think? ten little live yellow chickens.
The poor hen had sacrificed her W life
to save them. That sight touched the
man more than anything else.-The
Churchman.
